- The campaign finance reform laws he authored have helped force John McCain into a position where basically the only ads he can make are the ones tying Barack Obama to the hippie terrorists who engineered America’s mortgage meltdown. [Washington Post]
- Japan’s Nikkei index rose 14 percent today, hurrah! It was traders’ first day on the job since last Friday’s awful no-good very bad day. [AP]
- Even white rural Bitters in Ohio, who believe Obama “has got some Muslim in him,” are leaning toward the Democrat because they are so sick of being poor. [Christian Science Monitor]
- John McCain is running Hillary Clinton’s exact same campaign: chaotic, lurching from “Only I have the experience to lead” to “I am the only white opponent in this race” to, this week, “I am the scrappy underdog who will fight for you.” And we all know how well Clinton’s campaign turned out! [San Francisco Chronicle]
- People who drink a lot have smaller brains than people who don’t. This is why Bill O’Reilly refers to you people as “pinheads.” [Chicago Sun-Times]
- California is on fire again. [Los Angeles Times]
I blame Walnuts & Bible Spice for my small brain. If they’d shut their pie holes & quit beating up on Barry, I wouldn’t have to go through life in a liquor-induced haze.
Ill bet john mccain wishes hed never met russ feingold. hes got no dollars and i saw him in front of a liquor store the other day. Can you hep a brother out??? Maybe barbie could start selling bjs.
The Nikki Sixx index is also up, booming futures in parachute pants and AquaNet.
Cali Flamers voted for Hillary, right?
Texan Bulldoggette: hehe, Bible Spice
In a way, I feel for Johnny McHonor. Having stooped to running a most dishonorable campaign I havta believe it hurts him deeply. This is the man who spent the better part of his life championing honor, only to have sold his soul to Mephistopheles for the opportunity to obtain this office. On his deathbed, McHonor will have to contemplate the shame of the lies and misrepresentations he has promulgated in the name of personal advancement. Soon Gretchen will be destroyed and McFaust will be left to bear the shame of his bargain for eternity. B a d m o v e J o h n.
WooHoo! I weren’t banned!
So I’m thinking that near Halloween, McCain is going to go trick-or-treating in Pakistan and will stumble across Bin Laden and bring him home in his jack-o-lantern and all the retards in this country will wet themselves and go vote for him and Sarah. The End. You like my spooky story?
From the CSM article:
Aaron Brooks, who was heading to an appointment at the county courthouse, says he’s a Democrat but he’s supporting McCain over Obama. “He’s black,” says Mr. Brooks. “It’s not that I don’t think he’ll do a good job; it’s just that I don’t think he’ll do a good job for us white people. That’s just the way I feel.”
Can you imagine what Hopey would have to say to Aaron Brooks and other townsfolk of his ilk to convince them? “Now for you white folks…(insert funny quip here - not fully awake yet)” What the hell do these people want? Or, more importantly, how much more will they tolerate being forgotten before they forget their intolerance?
BBC’s website has a selection of jokes about the financial crisis today.
My favorite goes: What’s the capital of Iceland?
Answer: About $3.50.
Ha ha.
ihasasad: Very spooky! As my four year old would say, you’re a good jobber at telling spooky stories!
Can you blame the Republican king makers? Denigration has worked so well for them in the past, and here they were blessed with a nigger to denigrate. At the time, it must have been seen as a great win win…but my the fruits of this journey are none too sweet. “The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.” So sayeth The Lord. Amen.
ihasasad: Because I have a pea brain due to excessive drinking, I’ve never understood how capturing OBL helps Walnuts. Since the Head Master of Terror (OBL) would have been captured, we would no longer need John “I know how to catch Osama bin laden” McCain’s expertise on how to catch OBL. Then the POTUS could focus on, I don’t know, say the economy or something, which Barry is considerably better at.
Are there volatility circuit-breakers on the upside? If the market goes up 10%, I think trading should also be suspended. But I hate fun.
wheelie:
Be careful, because you’re probably buying $12 trillion of debt for your $3.50.
tinybubbles: it has to contain NASCAR and beer but what the really need is what Bill Hicks decribed as a sterility/dentistry program. Maybe Hopey can castrate them, straighten their teeth and split. Sort of a ‘clean up the universe’ pact.
Texan Bulldoggette: McCain’s October Surprise is actually to find Jimmy Hoffa. He will do this using his mob ties.
Are people still spooked about the big mean Osama? I mean, the dude’s a crippled senior citizen hooked up to a dialysis machine in the mountains, and that’s making the big assumption that he’s still even alive.
Obama’s mom DID “have a bit of muslim inside her”, ifyacatchmydrift
Q2: And for Caribou Barbie, who asked for the standard “Rich and Famous” contract. Not that she had a lot of honour or soul left to trade. She’s already so famous she “INfamous”. And whenever they make a movie of her life, some wag (like Ken), will measure it vs. Nailin’ Paylin in terms of box office, believability and how many times she says “Maverick”.
What this economic disaster shows is that for most bitters, their racism is about as deep as one’s wallet. Even the most racist bitter will realize that the intelligent mocha man from Illinois is more likely to help them keep their house than senile legacy Wrong Way McCain and his Moose Queen.
Meanwhile, what’s this French guy doing to Mary Lou Retton?
nurple: But we’re all rich! We’re so rich we’re irrationally exuberant! What could possibly go wrong? Bubbles so pretty…
mattbolt: a circumsized bit.

“This is the man who spent the better part of his life championing honor”
Except when:
-he skated through a military career on his father and grandfather’s coattails, despite a habit of crashing planes
- cheated on his disabled first wife with a beer heiress
- married said beer heiress before the ink was dry on his divorce
- cheated on beer heiress
- curried up to the folks who disparaged he and his daughter out of political expediency
- ran one of the dirtiest, most dishonorable campaigns in recent memory. So bad, in fact, that even Karl Rove said “Damn, John, that’s bad.”
- and, well, the whole Keating 5 thing
Q2: John McCain does not deserve your sympathy He has been an ambitious, pwoer-grabbing little prick for over 30 years. He got a taste for power as a LOBBYIST for the Pentagon in the late 70’s/early 80’s. (his resume calls the job liaison, but as Leslie Sanchez said, let’s call a spade a spade). Even if you take his marriage as being about love and not the money/power connections, his actions in running for Congress here in AZ belie any claim of “Country First”.
No McCain sold out his honor ages ago and has been willing to do anything he can to get into the White House. That is the source of his anger, he is pissed off that an ‘uppity ***’ is out to prevent him from getting what he sees as rightfully belonging to him.
The stock market recovery is also good news for terrorists! Maybe the IRA will now the recover the estimated €200m they have lost in the crash. Until then, the carbombs will have to be replaced by diet coke-and-mentos attacks. Tough times, people, tough times.

wheelie: What a coinkydink–my IRAs in the shitter too. What next? AK 47s? Face paint? Hunger strikes? It’s like the 1970s again! Yippie. Where can I haz expensive gas and outrageous mortgage rates?
luv that CS Monitor story - - ‘heading to an appointment at the Courthouse’ eh?
Euphemism much?
