Do you mean Roseanne? Or Polyanna? Or that chick Toto sing about?

LOL Rosanne! Barr! Arnold!

Sorry.

Are you watching the debate, Trog? I'm reading a liveblog, and I'm interested if she sounds as strident and Rosanna-like as she reads on this blog, or if it's just the blogger's take on it...

I have it on with the sound down. Can't stand Wolf Blitzer.

We've had 20-something debates. Don't see the use.

Maybe you'd like this blogger then, he's from Minnesota. I just googled liveblog debate until something talking about this debate came up. He's paraphrasing in a gently smart-ass way. And also hates Blitzer.

What genius in the Democratic party put this debate in Hollywood? Every time the camera pans the audience... MOVIE STARS!

Republicans are recording this. Half of it will end up in their campaign ads during the general election.

You can't decry lack of voter turnout and then spurn the voters who do turn out, man. That is a bullshit argument.

I didn't decry shit. I said that SOME people do so decry, but I view it differently. Please read what I write rather than making assumptions.

Anyway, the "debate" was good enough. The last question is the one I tried to pose in the only blog entry I have released on politics this season. Link is below.

3) He must really hate black people, strangely. To use the rhetorical style of MLK, whose speeches and actions actually held CONTENT, and do so in a most vapid, hollow way... well, its just offensive. Every time I hear him speak, its like he's pissing on MLK's grave, and it enrages me.

The vast majority of African Americans are fine with Obama's rhetorical style, as they were with MLK's. African Americans are voting overwhelmingly for Obama.

But we should be concerned. Because it enrages you.

If African Americans want to make that comparison, I think they've a valid stake to do so. They haven't. They, like many other Americans, instead, make the comparison with John F. Kennedy.

All this, they did without checking with Vec to make certain they weren't gonna piss him off.

Obviously! I have no right whatsoever to pose judgment thereupon! In one hand you hold equal rights and in the other hold the exclusivity of minorities to pose judgment on their own kine! How completely postmodern of you!

Zoloft incoming for reasonably formed opinion! Maybe lithium will quell my completely rational argument!

Try again douche.

i think you should just settle down, vec. get over yourself for a moment. get out of your own way.

Thanks for that. You're right, I'm completely self absorbed and not concerned with certain issues. It shows.

Son and Brother in Denver. Familial resemblance obvious. None of my kids, however, look like me. No wise cracks on that score.



Obama and JFK's daughter. He addressed the overflow of trying to cram 18,000 into an 8000 seat auditorium by talking to people in three different places outside, before going inside to give his speech.



More Obama. Probably giving the MLK impression about here. How dare he?

how many people would usually show up to hear a dem candidate in denver?

and your boys look well!

Obama's breaking records wherever he goes. Not certain that will translate into votes. Can't hurt, I guess. It isn't the overflow crowds. It's the ridiculously huge overflow crowds. He sold out a 20,000 seat arena in Minnesota in 14 hours. Well, not sold out... it was free tickets. Other candidates have "town halls" where they answer questions and stuff. Obama can't do that. You can't fit 20,000 people into a town hall. Can they all vote? Will they? I guess we'll find out.

Jon is still glowing. Really a signifigant thing for him.

Chuck got him high after the speech. Fucking family!

Liberal Senators

You said

"our voter turnout is ridiculously low"

That's not decrying? because you think they're all not-voting as a form of protest? The statement in itself, using the word "ridiculously," I submit, is decrying.

But whatever. I should probably be glad you didn't call me a fucktard.

Actually, I hear they put Bob Dole in charge of recording it, and he couldn't figure out how to program the VCR. So, you know. Opportunity lost.

Bob Dole is alive?

That's the going theory. They're working on developing instruments sensitive enough to verify it.

i was wondering what was going on with the pointing and grinning.

you sure you haven't got the timeline skewed, trog?
