There's going to be one of two different worlds after this election, and I don't know which one we'll be living in.<br /><br />And I've got to say, if the Koch brothers or someone would like to underwrite this site, there's nothing I'd like better than to continue kicking liberal hiney. We'll just have to see what happens.<br /><br />@SeaDog52- That WAS a great column by Peggy. Made Mrs. Jarlsberg cry (but in the good way).<br /><br />@CenTexTim- Believe me, that's about the most appealing offer I've heard in years! Regarding Peggy Noonan's column, she's a sharp gal. I'm going into Election Day with optimism (confidence would be even better, but I'll take what I can get). Romney has run a good and honorable campaign, and he's done it talking about REAL issues. As Bill Whittle has pointed out, if we lose at least we'll do so having offered the American voters truth and a real choice. The voters may screw up, but at least we mounted a good and honorable ticket and ran on the truth. That counts.<br /><br />@Dr. Jazz- That's got to be the best one-liner I've heard all day!<br /><br />@JustaJeepGuy- I'll bet if we gave our fellow citizens a geography test, it would scare the hell out of us.<br /><br />@Necron99- I know that you're speaking <i>metaphorically</i>, but that being said I agree with you absolutely. I will not rest properly until this wretched anti-American is dragged from the Whitehouse and the grounds are sewn with salt. And regarding the uplift of spirits, this has been a team effort and I've received more than I've given - for which I thank all of you.<br /><br />@Sarah Rolph- I think there's a good chance of all of us getting together; if Mitt wins, he'll give us a table at the inauguration, and if Barry wins, we'll all have adjoining cells at Guantanamo.

Much like with Scott Ott, some news can only be read when accompanied bye a heavy dose of sarcasm and/or humor.<br /><br />I see no reason why Hope n' Change can't continue along (assuming the election goes well) with a broader set of clay pigeons to target. <br /><br />I'd say that if the Republicans get the ascendancy, we hold their feet to the fire just the same. While some will rise above, we all know that most politicians tend to be the same: they give you a diuretic-based drink and want you to believe it's sweet tea. <br /><br />Republicans doing a slow march to the same "Communist Nirvana" is no better than the express train of Øbama. And they are just as deserving of scorn.

The Blogger/Blogspot interface has always been clumsy on this site (and has only gotten worse over time), but when I tried to teach myself how to use Wordpress to set up something different, I ran into the "Old Dog, New Tricks" brick wall.

But the MSM did so little vetting that they didn't even read Barry's autobiographies in which he spoke of doing drugs, disliking white people and actively seeking out radicals and revolutionaries.<br /><br />The notion that Romney is anything like Obama is offensive and stupid. All politicians have to swim in the same fetid waters, but that doesn't mean that Mitt isn't sincere about his desire to turn things around - and he's got a lifetime of service to others which clearly shows he's nothing like the entirely self-involved Obama.<br /><br />@TheOldMan- I wasn't familiar with intrade.com until now.
