Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I would just like to say, BZUH??

Yesterday evening, James Dobson’s Focus on the Family Action sent out a fundraising e-mail lamenting the victory of Barack Obama. (Dobson had personally endorsed the McCain-Palin ticket.) The author of the e-mail, Focus on the Family Action senior vice president Tom Minnery, told his readers not to despair, saying that the right wing would overcome this situation just as Britons overcame Hitler’s bombing in World War II:

The spirit of Winston Churchill was alive and well on Tuesday night at Focus on the Family Action headquarters.

You may recall that in the most desperate days of World War II – when Great Britain was being pounded daily by Hitler’s Luftwaffe – that Winston Churchill called on his countrymen not to despair from danger but to rise to the challenge. […]

As our incredible team of staff members watched the election results pour in on Election Night, an amazing thing happened that Churchill might have recognized. Despite some sobering disappointments, there was no mood of despair and no “bunker mentality.”

Update: Ben Smith points out that, on the Corner, John Derbyshire compares Obama's Americorps program to Nazi concentration camps and medieval forced labor.

Can we Godwin's Law political discourse? Please?

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

It looks like a Hot Wheel! I love the bubble-top, although it looks like it might be a PITA getting in and out.

If I am not mistaken, Ben Stein and Crazy-Ann Coulter had already made Hilter references wrt Obama.

I'm sorry, Daisy Jane. Good luck with the job hunt. I hope you find something perfect for you, quickly.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Good luck, DJ. At the rate I'm going, you'll have a job before me....

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

DJ, bah, and luck.

Frankly, I don't see how anyone bought that claim: if you watch how she's dressed, she's still dressed very well for the last two weeks of the campaign, much better than she did before she was nominated.

The concession night dress looked very expensive to me.

Hivemind - I have an image in my mind froma movie, probably superheroesque. Guy bends down in a squat building up energy, the jumps up sending reverbs through the earth and flies off to some far away distance. Mind completely blank on this.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Msbelle, think it is the recent one with Will Smith.
