The idiot Dem said something stupid- your guys have actually done stupid things, stupid things that hurt others and denote a lack of character and morality. You seem to have no problem with that, so why should we give a rats ass about what some dumb guy said? I'm also fairly certain Rove has said far worse.

I don't know why it annoys me so much, but who the fvck cares what his MySpace page said! Really people. What percentage of males at 18 have "someday" for that option. What percentage of males at 18 said I'm ready to have kids. Maybe he didn't think to change it. How often do you update your MySpace page so it's 100% accurate all the time.

I can't find it now, but Moby covered the DNC for blender.com. It was some good stuff. I wonder if they took it down.

We're becoming far too solemn as a nation.

I think Lashbear said it best ... four times, so ... sigh, I can't believe I'm requesting this ... can we please just roll all the political threads into one giant thread?

I'm so confused. I have no idea if I'm posting in the Obama thread, the McCain thread, the Obama Convention thread, or the McCain Convention thread. Meanwhile, the poor old Random Political Thoughts Part Deux thread starves for attention.

It's almost as if we have a real message board! Multiple conversations, can you BELIEVE it? I'm digging the action, daddy-o.

That's it, it's time for the cyanide capsules; if Myspace is being brought into the discussion of Presidential politics.

My cyanide capsule moment was when the Enquirer became a viable source for news.

From the NY Post:

On his MySpace page, Johnston boasts, "I'm a f - - -in' redneck" who likes to snowboard and ride dirt bikes.

"But I live to play hockey. I like to go camping and hang out with the boys, do some fishing, shoot some s- - - and just f - - -in' chillin' I guess."

"Ya f - - - with me I'll kick [your] ass," he added.

He also claims to be "in a relationship," but states, "I don't want kids."

Actually they are some of the best paid reporters. They're paid HUGE sums to spy and lie in wait for their subjects. While a lot of the stuff is BS, they've also cracked a lot of stories... including John Edwards' affair.
