I saw Joe Biden in a bathrobe standing on the porch of his semi-detached house in Wilmington screaming about all the "dammed kids" picking stuff from his trash bags.

Oh, and don't hit a baseball in his yard either...

All the nonbelievers, they get to eat dirt and the believers get to spit on their graves.

Your second link doesn't seem to be working right. I think you've got the URL pasted in there twice.

It just occurred to me that the constant "my friends" motto is pretty darn elitist and condescending. What it says is I don't mean to disparage your intellectual inadequacy blatantly since you are a dear friend and a nice person, but let me tell you all about what's going on here.

It's "If I Weren't Such a Fucking Elitist." Please, you're making the rest of us Fucking Elitists look bad.

A friend of mine pointed out recently that the whole hoopla over Palin has shifted attention away from McCain and most of the more important issues at hand. She's kind of a red herring - her popularity grows, declines, whatever. She's inept and absurdly conservative, and many people are charmed by her whole soccer mom thing. Let's move on -?

I saw Mccain in a bathrobe standing on the porch of one of his 10 mansions yelling about all of the elitists that get in the way of his 13 cars when his chauffeur drives Mccain's trophy wife on shopping trips for $300,000 dresses. He said that there are so many elitist on the roads these days that his lobbyist friends almost missed their ride on Mccain's private jet recently.

I saw palin in a bathrobe standing on the porch promising that since she can see the bank from her yard that she will fix this financial crisis soon.

They had some TV awards thing with lots of stars now wearing up-dos.

They still looked elitist.

Knowing that the "Bircher" allegation had already been decisively discredited, I was moved to check out the "Citizens United for Israel" allegation. It's worse than apocryphal.

The rally in question turns out to be the annual rally at the UN, sponsored by a broad coalition of major Jewish organizations (not organized by CUFI), focused on rhetorical fist-shaking at Iran in conjunction with Ahmadinejad's visit (not end-time conversions) ... and Palin's appearance was cancelled five days ago (preceding the church bulletin that inspired this chain of garbled alerts).

As long as you're doing guilt by association, there are much shorter and more durable chains of association between Palin and CUFI's Rev. Hagee.

If you weren't such a crap reporter you would have checked the facts on this one.

Anyway why don't you just shut up about McCain and Palin anyway. We all remember how you treated Obama in the primary. You weren't just against him, you intentionally distorted his record.
