The Presidential Elections (Time-Travel Edition)
Just wanted to say I might be busy for a while with the baby and all, and when it comes time to comment on the results of the elections, I possibly will not have time to write a post. So I think that now, while the baby is asleep, might be the perfect time to link to three possible commentaries. Of course, only open the link if and when it applies.
Thanks again. And God bless America.

Ooops!!!!!! I cheated!!!!!!!! But very funny!!! :-) :-) :-)
I want that underwear. No, I want to be able to look good in that underwear. I was on the treadmill this morning. That's right. I'm going to get in shape, take a picture of myself in that underwear, and send it to you by the 2012 election. Thank goodness I have time.
It seems Dems are "okay" with either Clinton or Obama. Is this always the case, or are we really in a position where we not only like one candidate, but actually like two, and would therefore be okay with either one in office? This is new to me.
durante vita
nice burns
Xenu is most displeased that his candidate of choice, Mitt Romney, has exited the race.
Jill, I was hoping you would. And thanks. For a moment, I thought it was the funniest thing I've ever done, but since then I've made my own "Yes We Can" video. My first webcam video.
Durante, first of all, I want to make it clear that it's not me in the picture. You find a lot of gems when you Google "elephant sex," which I did. Hey, the road to a suitable image on a blog is long and winding. Speaking of which, good luck.
I personally prefer Obama, but yes, I wouldn't be devastated if Hillary wins. Things weren't that bad before Bush. Or maybe it's just that Bush was so horrible that I wouldn't mind anyone now.
Spooky, thanks. But then, one day they seemed silly to me, so now I have a little beard thing going. The burns will come back. They always do.
Woozie, I'm sorry for his loss. Romney would have been an incredible President. Shame the batteries ran out. Next time: Duracell!
Thanks for the laugh.
No, I prefer Obama and am not at all fond of Hilary. I'd vote only because she would be better than any alternative the other has.
I cheated too, funny stuff.
But my backside is already pretty sore from the last 8 years, I don't think it can take 4 more.
Ok well then, I'm putting in a request for a (re?) post of the video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have developed some serious skills with the screen grabs and the what nots. Now that the "Potomac"/"Chesapeake" primaries (which do you prefer)are over, do you have a sense which of the scenarios is more likely?
On a different note, on think its a sad state of affairs when anyone can vote for a politician that voted to authorize Bush to use force against a country in violation of the UN Charter and customary international law.
This election is very historical. I think Omaba will win this election.
So a black woman should become president? And should be an atheist. And not wear elephant-like underwear.
Cooper, I'm the same way. After these last eight years, I'd even be happy with Mitt Romney, but the Obama thing looks good. I try not to take that whole hope thing too seriously, though. I lived in England when Blair ended the Tori insanity, and I saw Billy Brag singing in a May Day Parade about hope, and like everyone else, I thought the day had finally arrived, when one of us was in charge. Which proved to be false. Sure, he was better than Thatcher or John Major, but try telling that to a family of a dead English soldier. So... Obama talks about hope--I just hope he lives up to the expectations.
Mel, don't you think the cute aspect of the elephant would make the pain go away? It is really cute, just like Mitt Romney.
Jill, I was thinking of posting it as my next post, but maybe you can tell me if it's cute enough. Here's the link. I don't know... It makes me laugh, but I'm used to my face. Little children might be scared.
Pelkyi, I did, didn't I? This past year I've learned a lot of new skills, like screen-grab and poop-wipe. And I have to go with the Chesapeake Primaries because apparently O'Malley coined it (that's what he said, at least), and I have to be loyal.
I do think Obama has a better chance of winning now, but frankly it's still unbelievable that this country, which is backward in so many ways, will elect an African-American President. I hope it will happen. It does seem like not even Rove can stop him now.
And as for that vote, if you read Bush's speech, he portrayed it as a vote for unity rather than a vote with any meaning, and this was done at a time when criticism of the government was seen by most people in America as unacceptable. But even using that as an excuse, she should have known that she wasn't lining up to unite the country but to help her own career. And the fact that she had never admitted her mistake makes her unsuitable to be President. Is what I think.
Maldiveslive, you have the same time machine I have! Now, how can we get some cash out of this thing?
SJ, yes, as long as it's not What's her name. But an Atheist candidate? Can you imagine that? America is definitely not ready for that one. Now, a black Atheist woman who wears the elephant underwear... I think we're getting somewhere.
Why is the Count of Monte Cristo your favorite book? Is it better than Grapes of Wrath? I just started the latter and its a bit on the dry (and dusty) side. I mentioned this to Anne and she said I should read Monte Cristo, which is her favorite book. Do you agree?
Have you seen There Will be Blood? I was pleased. It may not be as good as Dude, Where's My Car, but it is damn good.
This was too funny. And like a previous comment. My rear is way too sore from the last 8 years to elect and Republican. My rear, my bank account, my everything is sore.
Thanks for dropping by yesterday!
I think after these comments I must go peek at the future posts....
Pelki, first of all, congratulations on the slaying of Lang Darma. That son of a bitch owed me money!
Now, let me take a look back at the books I've read (didn't read Grapes of Wrath)...
I guess I can add a few books to that list. I'll do it tonight. But The Count is special. It's like saying, "Screw Starbucks and their nasty excuse for a coffee. I love instant coffee!"--but only if you like instant coffee. Because that book's logic is so ridiculous, and Dante's plan for revenge is determined on so many things going exactly the way he hopes (with no guarantee, other than his presumed understanding of human nature), that you have to ignore some of the plot. But otherwise, it is a great book, and once you start, all you want to do is find out what happens next. And the fact that it's so different from what I knew as a child makes it even better. It has cross-dressing and a lesbian affair, and hash-induced hallucinations, and most importantly, the conclusion that revenge did not make him happy.
Nothing is as good as Dude, Where's My Car. But I have high hopes for the Harold and Kumar sequel.
Aimee, I know. While we suffered, the crazy Jesus Campers had the best seven years ever. And they get to be raptured. Bastards.
Woman, oh, let me warn you! But it's too late, isn't it... Your first visit here and you're confronted by that picture... It was a metaphor, see? Most of my other posts don't include strap-ons. Really.
Thank you for the happy birthday wish.
You allow little children on this blog????? :-) Yeah, I think you should post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-) :-) :-)
Oh, Jill, but I just put that YouTube thing on the left. Probably not enough. I need a Leftovers post, which will include the video and the answer to the question: Who peed yesterday straight into his mouth?
I'm sure you are loving Fatherhood! Enjoy it while you can. Blessings!
Thanks, Kali. It's a piece of cake, as long as he doesn't pee straight into his mouth.
Yes, the race hots up with the recent wins by Hilary. I liked your two links on what if Obama wins and what if Hilary wins. Different thinking and interesting to read. Thanks.
Brilliant. Just brilliant. :-)
Manick, no. Thank you.
Ohmyword, hey, thanks. And a smiley!
