Our current president has been transparent for quite some time, at least to me. Perhaps that's because I spend so much time holding my own Orbs of Solitude.

I am loving the Bohemian Grove goodness you pictured. Did you know they let Harry Shearer in one year?

Here is the oath: [www.reason.org]

Everyone sign and return please.

@hotsauce: I know at least his skull is exceptionally opaque.

I just read the Reason oath. Read literally (and how else would libertarians want you to read it), it would seem to commit the President to disclosing how much money the gov'mint spends on things like spying, torture prisons for people someone said was a terrorist, and how much is paid each year for the blood of enough virgins to keep Dick Cheney alive. Damned if I'd sign such a thing.

Shit - fuckin' internets are too complicated for senior citizens to figure out.

I put on my robe and wizard hat.

@Prozac: So, technically, couldn't the Dark Lord use his dyke daughter's blood since she's never had any man-meat in her? Just a thought.

Would that "Orb of Solitude" be the same as the Palantír in Lord Of The Rings? If so, then I'm sorry to say that Sauron (aka Dick Cheney) has one too, and he's taking notes on the whole ceremony.

@Prozac: Of course, because it's actually just a gimmicky thing by a magazine, it doesn't actually commit anyone to anything.

@hotsauce: That's the irony--we know about everything objectionable that Bush has done. He's been completely transparent. Inadvertently, as a result of incompetence, absolutely, but nevertheless, there it is. The problem is that between the hard-core Repubs who are chosen for office based on how vociferously they agree with the regime, the moderate Repubs who go along because they're deathly afraid of being primaried, and the moderate Dems because they're deathly afraid of being defeated by a Republican--well, all you have is the Boxer/Schumer/Feingold Democrats calling Bush out on all his crap. Until they make up a majority, Bush (or whatever lackey takes his place) will be able to do whatever he wants.

I thought Ron Paul was not apart of the New World Order/shadowy world leader underworld/evil superior alliance crowd. Man, jipped again! Sam Brownback should not hang out with the Bohemians. They are all strict evolutionists, and Sam Brownback would never fit in properly at all.

Barrack Obama got involved in this cult only because he lost a bet with Hillary Clinton that the nation would be in complete desolation by now. Always go for these kinds of bets towards the end of the horrible president' second term. John Edwards will be the next one to join in the voodoo. He will be the leader of the pack in a short time since they go by who has the larger coif of hair --- noone will be able to topple him!

@pickletickle: You know, many conservative types believe that homosexuality is an aberration that can be brought on by childhood sexual trauma. No, that's not relevant, forget I said anything. Sorry.

they wear robes because of their prostate problems.

@Endy: As long as you're not suggesting she go to Ted Haggard's gay rehab clinic.

so, why wasn't Robert Byrd invited?

I think Bush signed one of these, too, but Cheney hid it.

That's that place...that's that place!

Did you see the news that New World Order pontiff Zbignew endorsed Obama?

Dang I thought for a second it said "Obama, Brown back Paul '08"

"Gordon Brown?" I thought...

Couldn't they settle for translucent government? I bet more would sign up if they were allowed to refract the data into a rainbow of cheery intentions.

Of course, Jimmy Carter surely signed something like this in 1976 and, in keeping with the man's personality, stuck with it as best as he could. Unfortunately, there was, and is, nothing in the document that binds the candidate to be total shit. Btw, what's the over/under on the number of meaningless/impossible to keep promises the winning candidate will make? I'll start it at 35.

@PissantKant: I meant to say "not to be total shit." Obviouly, "to be total shit" must be in the oath at this point, somewhere between "solemnly swear" and "uphold the Constitution."
