What pisses me off (OK, one of many things that piss me off) is how gullible people can be. People say they won't vote for Obama because "I heard he was a Muslim." Because of those stupid emails circulating around. I guess it never occurs to these people that there are people out there who make shit up about politicians....
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
why hasn't someone named "Jesus" run for office yet?
There would be emails saying that he was secretly Latino? Even if it weren't secret?
Sure, those are inevitable. But if there are people stupid enough to NOT vote for a candidate based on the candidate's name, surely their counterparts exist who WILL vote for a candidate based on his name. And what better name than "Jesus"?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hillary definitely won over Upstate New York one person at a time, practically. But it did work!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
"Bigballs McManly"?
"Chuck Norris"?... oh, wait...
edit: withdrawn. Jesse wins.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I respect people who vote period - with me, againt me, beside me, whatever - NOT voting and giving as the reason that it won't matter between candidates is what I loathe.
I would love a 3 party system or a more representative government, but I also have my head and feet firmly planted in reality and as long as our current system IS the reality, I really do not get voting pie in the sky.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I voted for Gore in '04, even though as a NC resident (safe Bush state) there was little point to my doing so.
That's amazing! Al Gore didn't even run for president in '04!
Kidding, kidding.
Hey peeps, I heard Barack Obama can leap tall buildings in a single bound! That Hillary? Rumor is that she carries Batarangs under her pantsuit.

Um, shamefacedly, and for the record, I voted for Kerry in 2004. And honestly, I had *totally forgotten about Kerry at all* while I was writing that, and did believe I voted for Gore in 2004. It wasn't a typo, it was a thinko. I am the reason we can't have nice things.

When she ran her last campaign for Senator, she picked up huge numbers in the more conservative areas upstate simply by showing up and being demonstrably non-Satanic. Once she was standing in front of people, they had a much harder time remembering what specifically she'd done to piss them off in the first place.
Yeah, I've heard this too, and I'm not surprised. But I don't know how you turn a tide with that.
On the other hand, there's a year and a half to go for whoever pulls out of Super T on top, so that's certainly some level of opportunity.
