If your theory comes to pass than The Dunce will be elected because they don’t joke about The One.

Letterman even did a top ten list that he read to the audience about Obama being over confident, but they never aired it.

I’ll assume Jay is only stating that these things were things that were joked about whether they were true or not and he must know that supermarket scanner thing is load of bull, but the joking wasn’t.

If your theory is valid then I think that Obama - the Smart One -will be elected. McCain - the Dumb One - certainly has provided more fodder to the talk show hosts. Almost everytime that he tries to sound serious…he comes up with another whopper. His age is also against him in a youth oriented culture, and he is as stupid as a red brick.

Well.

Gerald bumped his head on a big moon rock. Anyway, that’s his story and he’s sticking to it.

I thought it was just plains wrong to blame Jimmy when it was Billy that didn’t know how to brew a decent batch of suds. I think Jimmy told him up front that you couldn’t brew a good beer for peanuts anyway.

As for Reagan, he didn’t get near the attention he deserved for those corny B-western movies. He should have introduced Bonzo a lot earlier in his acting career and he could have actually made a decent living at it. Zoo-keeper for a famous movie animal paid pretty good. Just ask Lassie’s handler.

Wasn’t Dukakis the original Mr. Potatoe head. Maybe I have him confused with someone important.

Bush one was a misunderstood man. He just couldn’t pull off a punch line properly. If he had said “So” with a long pause and then said “more taxes”, I think it would have worked out OK for him.

Was there really a guy named Dole. Come to think of it, I do recall seeing that name somewhere on some old fruit.

Gore, my man. He still reminds me of the days when I would plug the handset into the old 300 baud modem. Yep, he said to me one day why don’t you just leave the handset plugged in all the time. I just moaned and shook my head at the time and thought to myself what a loser. Who would’ve ever known that he could make it so far. Then again, this is America, the land of the dreamers.

Poor John. He really got the short end of the stick. If he had just learned how to take advantage of some new marketing techniques and use his connections, he could have gone far. I told him that the best way to reach Americans was to post his campaign message right there on the ketchup bottle but he wouldn’t listen.

A predator drone being built by an engineer on Long Island sparked a large counter-terrorism investigation across the New York area, officials tell WNBC.com. Police said they had stumbled upon overnight testing of the drone at a little-used airstrip in Calverton, Long Island.

Kelly said the engineer building the drone never reported his work to any agency including the Federal Aviation Administration or local authorities. Investigators said concern increased for a time when they learned the man behind the project was an Egyptian national who had entered the U.S. on a Sudanese passport.

NYPD officials worked with Suffolk County police and the FBI to determine there were no ties to terror.

An Egyptian National with a Sudanese passport, why, of course there were no ties to terror.

Bookman provides a reference!

The editorial page invited me to join the conversion regarding Bookman’s comments regarding tax rates and tax receipts. Since there is no other obvious place here goes:

Bookman gives several actual statistics to rebut an email touting tax revenue increases after tax cuts then he gives a REFERENCE to a Congressional Budget Office website. So I checked - and Bookman has his own problems with facts. To wit:

Federal receipts under Reagan were above the 1981 level in by 1985 - NOT 1988 as stated by Bookman. Actually this info is not on the CBO site but can be found in the US statistical abstract. I used a Bureau of Labor Statistics calculator to convert nominal receipts to real receipts.

Bill Clinton NEVER ran a federal surplus! The link Bookman gives does indicate ‘Debt Held by the Public ’ fell in ‘99 and ‘00 but this does not include Federal debt help by Social Security and Medicare. This portion of the Federal debt grew rapidly from 25% of total federal debt in 1992 to about 40% in 2000. While the Government Accounting Office helpfully tells us debt held by the public best measure of the accumulative effect of the government debt on the economy it is disingenuous to ignore debt held by other government agencies.

When these are included it is clear deficits were run in EVERY yeaar of the Clinton administration despite frequent claims (including another by Roger Ebett in todays movie section) to the contrary.

Finally: The GAO goes on to state that debt as a percentage of GDP is a good way to gauge the impact of the national debt on the economy. On a percentage of GDP basis US debt hit its highest level in 50 years in 1996 under Clinton . The debt as a percentage of GDP has fallen under Bush despite what I would consider overall poor fiscal policy by both parties.

Pick your poison to play this joke on OBlahMa.

Mu’ammar Al-Qadhafi: “There are elections in America now. Along came a black citizen of Kenyan African origins, a Muslim, who had studied in an Islamic school in Indonesia. His name is Obama. All the people in the Arab and Islamic world and in Africa applauded this man. They welcomed him and prayed for him and for his success, and they may have even been involved in legitimate contribution campaigns to enable him to win the American presidency.”

“We still hope that this black man, Obama will take pride in his African and his Islamic identity and in his faith and that (he will know) that he has rights in America and that he will change America from evil to good.”

That ^^^ was no joke. It was for real.

So what would be Qaddafi’s definition of evil, I’m wonderin’? What would Qaddafi’s definition of good be?

From Daily Kos

McCain’s been playing that Hanoi Hilton card any time he gets into trouble. Back in the bad old days of the Keating Five, the scandal that dare not be mentioned until the Obama campaign sees the whites of McCain’s eyes, McCain and his friends tossed it out there like a pocket ace. According to the Washington Post on November 21, 1990, McCain told Keating he “had not spent 5 1/2 years in a [North Vietnamese] prisoner of war camp to have his courage or integrity questioned,” although the logical connection there seems amiss. Earlier, calling on a Senate ethics panel to quickly issue a decision involving McCain’s case, supporter Bob Dole said, “He has been held hostage before under very difficult circumstances. So let us not keep him hostage here in the Senate,” according to the New York Times on October 23, 1990.

“Now, Mr. McCain, you see that little window on the front of my phone, well, when I get a text message, this little light comes on and it makes a bleeping sound. Oh, sorry, a text mesage is an email you can read on the phone, what’d ya’ say Mr. McCain? Oh sorry, [sigh] an email is a message that you get on the computer - it is sent through the Internet. Oh, you don’t know what that is either [sigh]. Well, the Internet is a series of tubes…….”

There has always been a gutter element in American society that worships the bully, especially in the South. The typical GOP voter, since McCarthy, is the type of person that would join a lynchmob.

Nixon knew this, Reagan expanded on it, Bush the Lesser made it the core of his presidency. McCain, in trouble two months ago, brought in Rove’s henchmen to drag the debate about our country’s future into the gutter, to start the lies and slander and bullying that makes the gutter element so motivated to vote.

The typical GOP voter is not only stunted mentally, but also emotionally. Trapped in early adolescence, their world view is that of an angry twelve-year-old.

They are turning our nation into the island from Lord of the Flies.

To NTNP:

When expressed in constant, inflation-adjusted dollars, tax revenue didn’t reach ‘81 levels until ‘88, as I made clear in the piece.

As to the national debt as a percentage of GDP, that is indeed a good way to measure it, because it accounts for inflation.

As you claim, it peaked in 1996, at 67.3 percent (it was already at 66.2 percent when Clinton took office, and rose much more slowly in his first three years as president than it had under Reagan and Bush I).

But as Paul Harvey would say, here’s the rest of the story.

In ‘97, debt as a percentage of GDP started falling and falling sharply. It fell again in 98, 99, 2000 and 2001, when it hit 57.4 percent.

In 2002 it began to rise again, and contrary to your claim, it has risen every year since under President Bush. It is estimated to hit 66 percent again this year.

I’d be interested in the source for your claim that federal debt has fallen as a percentage of GDP under Bush. My source is http://zfacts.com/p/318.html, which puts it in chart form and provides a link to the original data compiled by the Office of Management and Budget.

An interview with Liar-loan McCain.

Q: Why doesn’t anyone believe a word you say?

Liar-loan McCain: “Thats a lie. I have a solid constituency who all have many wives and homes like me, and they listen.”

Q: Isn’t a vote for you just a vote for 4 more Bush years, which is like 100 years in Dogs-of-War years?

Liar-loan McCain: “That’s another lie, you liar. The formula for Dogs of War years is not 25 to one, it’s more like ten to one. You’re a liar.”

Q: Is Bush agreeing to a time horizon for Troop Withdrawals playing into the terrorist’s hands?

Liar-loan McCain: “That’s a lie. Bush is not cutting and running. The Iraq-Pakistani border, where Osama Bin Laden is hiding in caves, is where those troops will be sent, and that’s not a surrender. One more lie and this interview is over.”

Q: Did Saddam pilot all four planes into the Trade Towers on 911 and then escape with Osama bin Laden’s driver in a volvo packed with C4 and antrax?

Liar-loan McCain: “Comeon, that’s old news, of course, that’s true, and thanx for not lying about it. I think we can continue this interview.”

Q: Do you think you’re going to get away with wet starting that jet on the Forrestal and causing the biggest naval catastrophe of the Vietnam War?

Liar-loan McCain: “that’s a lie. Interview over. I have to go wet start my wife, (wink).”

Q: Thank you Liar-loan McCain.

Liar-loan McCain: “And quit calling me Liar-loan McCain, moron.”

Q: one more question: Were you disappointed about the Bigfoot Hoax?

Liar-loan McCain: No, I remember Piltdown Man and that hoax ruined the whole Bigfoot thing for me.

• his 20 year relationship with a racist preacher (Jeramiah Wright)

• his relationship with a unrepentent terrorist (William Ayers)

• his relationship with Tony Resko (giving him a sweetheart deal on his Chicago mansion)

• Mrs. Obama not being proud of her country

• ignoring the plight of his 1/2 brother living in poverty while exspousing his care for the needy

• his latest admiration of China’s infrastructure which has been built by slave labor, enviromental atrocities and destoying the homes of families who had lived there for many generations (without compensation)

• a resume as thin as the man himself

If you can sort through all this money laundering he’s doing perhaps you can add a few to your list.

But, said Blair Latoff, spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee: “Barack Obama’s failure to accurately report his campaign’s financial records is an incredibly suspicious situation that appears to be an attempt to hide his campaign’s interaction with a left-wing organization previously convicted of voter fraud. For a candidate who claims to be practicing ‘new’ politics, his FEC reports look an awful lot like the ‘old-style’ Chicago politics of yesterday.”

Selling his sell for the redneck vote:

John McCain grew up Episcopalian. He went to an Episcopalian high school. For at least 15 years, he has been listed as an Episcopalian in authoritative directories such as the Almanac of American Politics and Congressional Quarterly’s Politics in America 2008. He told a reporter from McClatchy News Service in June 2007 that he was an Episcopalian.

Suddenly, in September 2007, he’s campaigning in South Carolina, the heavily Baptist state where George W. Bush barely managed to stop McCain’s presidential campaign 8 years ago. And guess what? McCain tells a reporter “By the way, I’m not Episcopalian. I’m Baptist.”

When pressed, he said he’s attended the North Phoenix Baptist Church in Arizona for more than 15 years, though he has never been baptized in that church. Now see, that’s exactly the problem. Baptism is kind of a big thing in the Baptist Church. (That’s how they got the name.) No baptism, not Baptist.

Anyway, details aside, this is one very clear indication of how McCain has changed. Now, he’s just another hungry politician, happy to pander if it helps him win. Which eliminates the very reason people were excited about him in 2000 — his honesty.

He’s scum - the morals of an alleycat, the ethics of a child molester.

Is that correct?

The U.S. needs leadership with vision right now and John McCain is not the one to provide it. When asked why he wanted to be President a while back, McCain said he just decided that’s what he wanted to do next.

McCain has no vision of where he wants to take America. So, if elected, who will provide the vision? The lobbyists, of course.

Longtime Clinton loyalists Paul Begala and James Carville, who have endorsed Obama’s White House bid, told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer Friday a Politico report claiming the Obama campaign did not officially consider Clinton for the coveted position would likely further anger some Democrats already wary of the Illinois senator. Both Carville and Begala are CNN contributors.

The matter is even made worse, Begala said, by the fact that Obama himself suggested to reporters earlier in the summer that he would consider Clinton, saying his one-time rival would be on “anybody’s shortlist.”

Liberals. First Denver tried to buy off the homeless with tickets to movies and museums or whatnot. Well, as expected like most mindless liberal brainiac ideas, that flew like a plane made out of lead.

So, what next? How about just hosing them off and cleaning them up and making them look presentable? First up, free haircuts! From the LA Slimes:

Last month The Ticket wrote that officials in Denver, worried about the impression that 50,000 visitors to the Democratic National Convention would get next week, were planning to hide the estimated 4,000 homeless people who hang around the city’s downtown area.

They arranged for free movie passes and bingo games to get them off the street, as well as temporary housing and free tickets to the zoo and Museum of Nature and Science. Downtown Denver awaits the Democrats. Do you see any homeless?

Now, with a Hat Tip to our pal Jeralyn over at TalkLeft, comes word that Denver is even spiffing up the coiffures of its homeless. They’re giving free haircuts to the homeless this week in preparation for the visiting crowds who’ll arrive this weekend.

Denver is well on it’s way to being the next mindless liberal San Freaksisco (that’s Pelosi territory for those with a brain keeping up). I have long said this: for a barometer of the future of America, just look at present California regions like San Freaksisco. Canary in a coal mine, if you will. It’s not too late America. You can reverse the disease of liberalism.
