Slog - Comments on The Crack-Addicted Professors are All Dyslexic http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/09/the_crackaddicted_professors_are_all_dys Here's a little zinger to complement your slight-uptick-in-Obama-poll-numbers-based good feelings: George Saunders on Sarah Palin: Now, let’s talk about slogans. Ours is: Country First. Think about it. When you think of what should come first, what does? Us ourselves? No. That would be selfish. Our personal families? Selfish. God? God is good, I love Him, but, as our slogan suggests, no, sorry, God, You are not First. No, you don’t, Lord! How about: the common good of all mankind! Is that First? Don’t make me laugh with your weak blinking! No! Mercy is not First and wisdom is not First...

http://www.blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/09/15/wolffe-obama-pulls-a-harding-tonya-that-is.aspx

"Tonya Harding, meet Barack Obama. Over the last few days, Team Obama has released several new ads directed against the former lobbyists who now take leading positions in the McCain campaign. A third, released on Monday, accuses him of running a dishonorable, deceptive and dishonest campaign, citing several recent media headlines that find McCain ads are all three."

Time for the War Crimes trials.

Each step with massive immediate cash rake-off for these Masters-of-the-Universe fuckers. You wanna know where all the money went? It's pretty goddamn obvious.

But, happily, I did not go to college at all, having not finished high school, due to I killed a man.

All week I've been fighting the urge to end all my sentences with "due to I killed a man."
