…Although I reserve the dignity to never vote; consider the present alternative[s] to Killer McCain…yeah…that’s their idea of “Democracy.” Go figure?

I noticed that scratching sound but I just figured the feds were screwing up the wiretap again.

I don’t know about you folks but it looks to me that there is some kind of carapace forming over Johnny Boy and his mobility keeps reducing. With a President Gregor Samsa, the metamorphosis to the Dystopic Beaurocracy of Kafka will be complete.

After all, they’ve always said that the insects would inherit the earth.

Do any of you other blokes notice those strange scratchings in your phone receiver and those laments, like the distant murmurings of hissing cockroaches ?

That condition is fairly common among pimps, I have heard.

McCain is a warmonger yet the MSM refers to McCain as a moderate. The MSM is brain dead!

Shizam!

I hope it doesn’t involve banning Oktoberfest celebrations.

I think we’re more likely going to be looking at a Very Interesting October Surprise this year….

And be careful about referring to McCain’s ego as a Weapon of Mass Destruction.

Given Fallon’s exit stage right, I, too, hope that McCainiac is stopped in his tracks sooner rather than later.

Usual disclaimer for the Stasi, oops, sorry, NSA: ’stopped in his tracks’ refers to a peaceful, political process where no violence is brought to bear upon McCain aside from his ego…

Wes, you might be right….

I hope his past catches up with him before November - or at least before the next war.

The saddest thing, Jim, is that McCain’s long-rumored trysts with everything that walks by in a skirt will be his November downfall - rather than any inconsistencies on torture. A Clintonesque whisper campaign that insinuates his uncontrollable rage is syphilitic in nature is much closer to the American politics I know.

The idea that McCain is simply a duplicitous, power-hungry madman is just too ordinary for most voters.

Nobody’s compiled a list because numbers don’t go that high.

Besides, that would presume that the media’s job was to act as an informal check on power, rather than working very hard to be part of the power and supporting same.
