Seriously, Obama. Now you're stealing lame catch phrases from one of the worst movies of all time?

Pay fucking attention. Or fuck off and go jump off a bridge or something. You're useless to me.

robreed tells it like it is.

What the fuck, America? Seriously.

the financial industry:

Apparently there are a lot of interlinks in the financial industry

and

Well you know, AIG came along and then Lehman came along and of course they declared bankruptcy. Then AIG came along and it turns out the house of cards, well it got a lot bigger.

Wow.

Sorry but Pam Anderson saying that Palin can suck it is really kind of hilarious.

First of all, I saw something about this whole "lipstick on a pig" fiasco on TV last night for about 8 seconds as we were going to bed and I said, "You're fucking kidding me, right? OF COURSE McCain's stupid campaign is now going to allege that Obama is calling Palin a pig because then they can cry 'sexism'!"

Of course they are. Seriously, how fucking D-U-M-B is the average voter if they fall for this crap? Dear everyone: if you don't understand that this is an idiom used frequently, even in politics (even by McCain! about! Hilary! Clinton! ACK!), and that it is not used to call people pigs, then you fucking get what you deserve as far as the election goes.

Secondly, robreed made an excellent post that you should really go read. It includes some really unbelievable clips from the Daily Show if you haven't already seen them, of Fox News pundits clearly displaying their own hypocrisy. Kind of ridiculous really.

Don't interpret this as me being a big Obama fan because I'm not. I'm disgusted with the whole lot. But I really fucking hate McCain and the dumb as shit campaign he is running, as well as his creepy running mate.

Answer: NO.

...while I agree that candidates' kids should be left alone, the fact that your 17-year-old daughter is pregnant, keeping the baby, and marrying the equally young father does in fact speak volumes about your views on sex education as well as possibly abortion, religion, and even adoption.

Blah blah personal choice blah blah but if my 17 year old daughter got pregnant, while it is absolutely her choice what to do about that, I'm pretty sure she would not be "choosing" (i.e. pressured by her parents) to keep the baby and marry her high school boyfriend. That is creeptastic.

Come on folks, this is 2008, not 1948.

As robreed puts it so well, maybe you should think before you speak

Seriously, what were you thinking? You do realize that people, like, record things you say and then they, like, get reported and stuff, right?

You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton Administration and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are going to regenerate and they have not. And it's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.

Barack Obama

Genius.
