'Just Rewards (2)'
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.
Oh fuck - why haven't I heard of this until too late?
Heck, I'm only 30 minutes from San Marcos, and I've never heard of it.
I'm sure someone posted this already, but it's sort of amazing to me how easily the candidates (esp. McCain) can treat the campaign rhetoric as fodder for cheap jokes. On one hand, good for them for being adults, but on the other, man, the contempt they (and esp. McCain) have to feel for the general American public to buy that crap.
(Teppy's post makes me wonder if she reads the last page in a mystery first.)
Nah. It's just that, like amych said, I doubted that billytea would spam Beep Me with random Animal Planet info, and my excitement got the better of me.

Me either!
But in the meantime, ends have been leveled, new bangs have been cut, color has been refreshed, and I feel vaguely human again.
Pretty!
Hm. I feel like a shitheel, because as soon as I read the first line, I figured what it must portend, so I jumped to the last line right away.
Oh, me too!!!

Ditto to this.

How does contempt enter into it? I haven't watched the video but from the bits I've seen quoted, it doesn't seem any different than the stuff they do at the National Press Club dinners and other events.
It doesn't seem contemptuous to you to push a vile viewpoint for a mass audience and laugh at it later? It seems to me that McCain, for instance, doesn't believe the whole notion of Obama palling around with terrorists (whatever that means) any more than anyone else he considers in his league or he wouldn't find it funny when he thinks that his base isn't looking.
I don't have a problem with McCain making jokes at an event where he's expected to make jokes. But I am a little disheartened to see it's the first time I've heard him speak about Obama's acomplishments with respect. I'd prefer if McCain had enough respect for the voters to not be so publicly contemptuous of Obama.
