“And in conclusion — but before I do that, let me…”
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Tonight’s schedule includes speeches by Joe Biden and Bill Clinton, two of the more — how shall I put this? — “generous” talkers of their time.
Any bets on who holds the stage the longest?

Greetings Fellow Dimwits:
Me thee god of thee Sun and thee Sea, see me in thee temple.
Vrrmmmmmm, vrrrmmmm, bababababababa.
See, I told you I was thee mean motor scooter.
How about thee Bruno, you blooming idiots, wasn’t she thee perfect robot and puppet that we had to threaten her to be? It must have been tough on that pig to swallow all of thee things she whined and moaned about for so long, about how she beat us in thee popular vote until we magically rubbed out all those white power votes in Floreeda and Micheegan, remember how she carried on about thee ill treatment she got from our propaganda wings thee PMSNBC and Urinal/DNC? Not a peep last night, what a good little toady and sycophant she was.
I did her here muttering later about “October 31st” and thee “whitey tape” and “2012” but all of my goons and hacks insist that there is no such thing. And I have been told not to think anymore, so thee long association with me preacher Jeremiah Wrong and his “%$! damn America” are nothing but a foggy haze to me.
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, thee teleprompter screen went blank, aahhh, yes, my peaceful time, when everything becomes dark and I hear thee buzzing sound between my ears.
I like thee buzzing.
So saddle up, you morons, let us ride together as a big, stupid mass of ignorance all across thee land, proclaiming to all thee dullards whatever it is thee teleprompter tell us to say.
Yes we can!
Seig Heil!

Bill will deliver “pearls”.
Biden can kiss my aging baby boomer patoot. I hate Biden. He’s a ridiculous man, and a poor choice for VP.
Obama will still win, but instead of a 65/35 landslide, it will only be a 60/40 landslide and that p’s me off.
I saw a McCain bumper sticker that read, “Patient, heal thyself”. Hey! McCain’s finally revealed his healthcare plan!!
I saw another McCain bumper sticker that read, “Moron, educate thyself”. Hey! McCain’s finally revealed his education plan!
I had trouble reading the bumper stickers because someone had scratched a cross into them both.
bwa
McCain doesn’t have a Chinaman’s chance of winning in November….wait a minute, that metaphor is obsolete, the Chinese didn’t have a Chinawoman’s chance of winning any golds in the Woman’s Gymnastics Olympics but they cheated and won some.
So, McCain can win by an Ohio Diebold machine. The GOP will have to commit fraud, and I predict that they will get caught and we’ll have a constitutional crisis, where the American People will finally rise up and prosectue Bush, Cheney, Rove, and all those other traitors.
We are on the cusp of a new era. Something grandious is about to happen folks.

Sen. Clinton didn’t lay it out explicitly to her delegates, but the deal between the Clinton and Obama camps will reportedly allow several states to cast a vote during the roll call before a move is made to nominate Sen. Obama by acclamation.
Many of Clinton’s supporters here are none too happy about it.
“I’m deeply disappointed,” says California delegate Susan Rose. “It means a great deal to me to be able to cast a vote for her. I don’t understand why I can’t do that.”
“We know Obama is going to be nominated,” says Clinton delegate Karin Quimby. “All we want is to vote as a symbolic gesture.”

Obama’s 143 Days of Senate Experience
Just how much Senate experience does Barack Obama have in terms of actual work days? Not much.
From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United States Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory Committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate.
That’s how many days the Senate was actually in session and working.
The one single Senate committee that he headed never even met — once.
After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World, and fill the shoes of Abraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK and Ronald Reagan.
Think about it…….143 days — 20.4 weeks — 4.7 months …
