Can someone remind me why Americans are obese? I can’t remember.
Ben Nelson’s Reign of Idiocy
To paraphrase Atrios, “We are all war bonds now.” These people are such idiots. We finance everything through bonds. If you want to finance the war through a separate mechanism that won’t expand the debt, you have to introduce something like David Obey’s “War Tax.”
“No” Terrorist Attacks
I’ve seen some buzz about how Dana Perino said on Sean Hannity’s show that “[the US] did not have a terrorist attack on our country during President Bush’s term.” The next day, she posted on twitter that she meant post 9/11. Fair enough, except for the following:
Anthrax
DC Sniper
Ohio Sniper
Virginia Tech
Any others I’m forgetting?
So she’s right, if you are willing to exclude those four (and of course the 9/11 attacks themselves).
Sorry, 5≠0.
The Plague
Seems that the dry air out here in Phoenix is finally ridding me of this sore throat/plague. Nice hike up the Camelback (no innuendo intended) this afternoon helped.Sent From My iPodPhone
Stay Classy US Airways
When my flight was delayed 40 minutes because they couldn’t find the 1st Admiral, I thought nothing of it. When we sat on the tarmac for 30 minutes, I was annoyed but prepared. When they ran out of food for sale before the passed the last ten rows, I was a little surpised. But what really got me was when the drink cart came around.
I asked for water. They asked for $2. Really? You are charging me for water? On an airplane? Are you so on the brink of bankruptcy that you can’t do your customers the common courtesy of providing them with free water?
Don’t think I will be taking any personal travel on US Airways any time soon. Sheesh.

Bush Calls Obama
To congratulate him:
“What an awesome night for you, your family and your supporters.”
Awesome? Really? Got nothing better than awesome?
Bennett
Gotta love super slimy guys like Bill Bennett. First he says that if Obama wins, it wouldn’t mean that it changes everything about the nation’s history, but a lot of it. Then he turns around and says, “As a former Secretary of Education, I can tell you that no one can ever claim to be disadvantaged, because anything is possible.” Translation, “If there’s any upside to Obama winning, it’s that I can tell every black person to shut up and quit complaining about injustices of the last 200 years.” Classy.
Bill Bennett, ladies and gentlemen!
Multi-Touch.
CNN, if I’m going to watch your crappy coverage, give me John King and his ridiculous multi-touch results screen. Watch 1:30 in to get a sense of what I’m looking for.
Seriously, I’m getting dizzy from so many pundits. Give me King!
DB 2
You smell like some unholy mix of aftershave, morning-breathe and shit. You scare people whose doors we knock on. Ugh.Sent From My iPodPhone
DBs
I am thankful that the Obama campaign has many diverse and passionate supporters. Really I am amazed. People traveling from all over the country to swing states, committe to their candidate and their causes. Really incredible stuff.With that in mind, how did I get stuck canvassing NH with such a supreme douchebag? Really? This guy couldn’t be more pompous, uninformed and annoying. Shut the eph up already! No, I don’t wan to talk religion. No, you know nothing about the markets or the economy. No, you are not hip for having your two kids (older one being maybe 15) canvass on their own while we walk around.
If you don’t want to only make chit chat, then shut up. And maybe don’t sound like you are ephing Droppy Dog when people answer their door. You are supposed to be enthusiastic! Sheesh.
