MAGAZINE ABOUT WEALTH ENDORSES OBAMA: Sarah Palin’s favorite — dare we say, “favourite,” tut tut — magazine, rich & sexy British global-money pamphlet The Economist, has endorsed Barack Obama, who is more likely to save all of their money than John McCain, who’s just nuts. [The Economist]

Well, they are Brits, so they are already gay, socialist Muslims.
IN THE TANK
I can haz stimulus check?
Beaver Magazine endorsed Sarah Palin.
WHO CARES LIBRUL TERRIST GREENSPAN’S BOOK ENDORTSED MCCANE!!!1!
Typical elitist gotcha media. The magazine of the Joe the Plumbers of the world (Stormfront) endorsed Palin last week.
So these assheads were undecided until now? What were they waiting for? Colbert’s endorsement?
Yes, but McPalin was endorsed by the Chattanooga Chitlin Post-Dispatch.
I’d hit that, if it’s been dewormed.
Sara Palin reads The Economist? Oh seriously Jim, how gullible can you be? Or are you being sarcastic? Can’t tell..
Anyway, The Economist is one of those highbrow publications with big words, so very few people read it (just too tough to figger out what they’re writing’ about).
F.E.D.S. endorsement surprisingly tardy.
They just want Obama to completely tank Capitalism because they’ve been stockpiling gold and in the post-apocalyptic economic disaster they will be our new Feudal lords and masters. They will have to battle Paultards for control of the Earth, but one step at a time.
The Financial Times endorsed Hopey earlier this week. Who do these bloody Brits think they are telling us who to vote for? Just wait until their medieval plumbing goes on the fritz and they need a plumber.
facehead: Colbert endorsed Obama last night, so it’s not that.
Maybe they are waiting until after the election.
Nothing but a bunch a commie pricks at the Economist. Heil Marx!
nurple: Well done, sir. Also, Black Tail.
Lionel Hutz Esq.: Actually, it’s more that we’re sexually repressed, socialist and Godless. But you were close enough.
And that picture is begging for a pithy alt text.
This is all part of the UKs secret plan to get all their Mussulmans to move to the US.
I wish to thank The Economist for teaching me a new word/phrase today.
“Cack handed”….

Lionel Hutz Esq.: Who endorsed Bush the first time around. That’s when the Economist lost their elitist status in my view. Sure, they might hate taxes, but the least they could do is promote literate leaders.
I imagine people will pay as much attention to this endorsement as they did when The Economist predicted the US Housing Bubble Crash in 2003, and by listen I mean, what the fuck is The Economist?
Hey, does anyone know anything about the “Cory the well driller” email letter spam now all over the bloggerworld? My husband sent it to me, and I wanted to thoughtfully call it a piece of propaganda bullshit, but it does purportedly come from a real person with a business and everything. But, I’m thinking he’s a repubtard troll and really has a “B” carved into his ass and wrote this with the intent to smear Hopey economic plan, yo.
McCain is now speaking in Defiance, Ohio. You’d figure based on his and Palin’s economic plan, next stop should be intercourse Pennsylvania, perhaps followed by Truth or Consequences New Mexico.
It’s good to see that class betrayal is still a popular hobby among rich British elitists. They’re the equivalent of America’s trust-fund hippies.
The only poll I am watching now is the Economist’s world-wide electoral vote count. It makes me all warm and fuzzy.
I’ve been waiting for the endorsement from Sir Leopold T. Whiskers, the Aristocat.
Hey, The Ecounoumist has endoursed Oubama!
Also, USA! USA! USA!..oh, wait.
If Cory is a WATER well driller, I have no sympathy whatsoever. People are totally at their mercy, because they can just say “oops, gotta go down another 50 feet!” and there’s NO WAY you can tell. How far down is your potable water? How much money you got?
MARCdMan: Okay, yes. But this time, those of us without children get the bigger check.
Gopherit: OK, whining about Jim’s lack of alt text has jumped the shark. From now on, you has to suggest an alt text, or hush.
Alt text: Obama just wants me, loose shoes, and a warm catbox.
Alt Alt text: I can has preznit?
Awwwww, cute kitty.
Magic: Thanks! I see it for sale in my neighborhood and I think “Well, isn’t this interesting!” in my Episcopalian way. I wonder what people would think if a whitebread like myself was reading it on the subway.
NEDM can make McCain’s campaign cool!
I hate myself, and you should too if you get my stupid joke.
The Brits are not only in the tank, they’re making tea.
How did you get my cat to dress up in a tuxedo?
Well, we all know now that Katie Couric reads The Economist, so no surprise here:

I can haz monocled wearin’ kitty now?
