        \_ Sounds great.  Are they atoning yet for endorsing Bush?
           \_ I thought they endorsed Kerry last time around.
               \_  Well they definitely endorsed W in 2000.

        \_ Keep laughing. It's not WHAT you say but HOW you say it.
           Keep laughing. You're going to regret it.

9/20    "Moose Shooting Mama", a country music about Sarah Palin, is
        #4 most popular country download this week. She makes a
        great VP, yeehaw!!!
        \_ She's going to make an even better wtf footnote when Obama
           wins.
           \_ History has proven over and over again that ignorance,

9/12    The latest blatant lies from McCain
        http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/belittling_palin.html
        \_ Facts don't matter to 1/3 of the voters. Emotions do.
           I'm rooting for Obama but I know McCain is going to win. Oh well.
           \_ *sad face*
           \_ If the election was held today, I think Obama would just squeak

9/10    McCain is morally unfit to be president
        http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2008/09/mccains-integri.html
        \_ From the guy saying we should interview Palin's OB to find out if
           Trig is really her baby?
           \_ So you've got nothing to respond to his charges.
              \_ No, just that everything that comes out of Sullivan's face

8/21    What's the big deal with arugula anyway?  When did this become a
        talking point?  I like arugula.
        \_ Please give more context, thanks.
           \_ Apparently the McCain campaign keeps bringing this up.
              \_ if this election is won or lost on whether McCain can convince
                 Americans that Obama is a weird arugula

6/30    That Wesley Clark, class act right there.
        http://www.politicususa.com/en/Clark-FTN
        \_ How was Clark questioning McCain's record?  In what way was this
           "swift boating?"
           \_ It wasn't.  The right is just filled with Righteous Anger with
              nowhere to focus it.

7/01    Obama's continuing flip-flops.  This time on same-sex marriage
        http://www.sacbee.com/111/story/1051404.html
        \_ hey guess what dittoheads: conservatives are the only people who
           care about "flip flops."  The rest of us call it "reconsidering."
           \_ I don't think _anyone_ here listens to Limbaugh.  You might as
              well put that one to bed.

6/3     Since no one else seems to be willing to bite, here is my case
        for Obama:
        1) He was always against the War. This shows good judgement and
        political courage. I have some sympathy for those who got swept
        up in the tide of emotion and then apologized for their mistake,
        but better to have not made the mistake in the first place.

11/2    California Uber Alles is such a great song
        \_ Yes, and it was written about Jerry Brown. I was thinking this
           as I cast my vote for Meg Whitman. I am independent, but I
           typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I
           can't believe we elected this retread.
           \_ You voted for the billionaire that ran HP into the ground

8/12    Thanks for destroying the world's finest public University!

        \_ Why not raise tuition? At private universities, students generate
           revenue. Students should not be seen as an expense. UC has
           been a tremendous bargain for most of its existence. It's time
           to raise tuition to match the perceived quality of the

        Note that is is flat, which is the opposite of what we have
        been repeatedly told on the motd.
        \_ Does capita take in account for unaccounted illegal immigrants?

        \_ Good thing the legislature passed the biggest tax increase in
           history!  That should solve it.
           \_ because cutting taxes has done such a great job so far!

2/16    California is truly f'd for sure this time.  Can we find another pair
        of stupid radio DJs to start a drive to recall Arnold?
        http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/17/us/17cali.html?_r=3&hp
        \_ It will only help if we get a governor with a spine, and get rid of
           the incompetent legislature.

10/9    What's the point of treating animals nicely and then kill them
        for consumption at the end?
        \_ Because some people care about not causing suffering.  Just
           because they are going to be food doesn't mean they need to
           live painful, miserable lives until then.
