  • This guy cracks me up. And I would have to say to his haters that I think he is very mentally stable....hes just simply being entertaining. I think hes great, not because I agree with everything he says but because hes flipping funny as hell. He is fun to watch, can't get enough lol he looks like hes in a bunker or something, what a riot.

  • WRITE-IN VOTE DR.RON PAUL 2008

  • WRITE-IN DR.RON PAUL 2008

  • #1, what is the point you are proving other then to make something strange happen... #2... what happens if 4 people vote for you?

  • Move the world where...

    Are you mentally stable, davis? At the very least, you have no perspective: sure the superdelagate system is dumb. Not because it's a "sham", but because superdelagates have a very strong incentive to vote with their constituents, since they're almost all elected officials, who want to stay that way. So the superdelagate system isn't very effective at making sure a nut-job is nominated, which is supposedly why it was invented. It's simply not that big of a deal.

  • LIES + SCANDALE + ME OR NOBODY = HILLARY

    She knows that it's LOCKED for Obama. She is working to destroy her party this election, so she can get another chance 2012.

    BYE BYE DEMOCRATIC PARTY

  • i dont get your point your all noise no brains, all peoplle get voted in by money, bull shit, and few wealthy people. nothing has changed for hundred thousand years it all the same. try to do something different like tell us how many snales are in your back yard. what race you stand up for are you that smart or what

  • HAHA I love the starting part of this video!! Go New York!!

    Isnt this issue the same when it comes to voting for the president?

    If I am not mistaken, the votes of the 538 members of the electoral college basically determine who the president for USA is going to be.

    The country of 300 million !!!! and 538 people will determine the president!!!! David, you might as well start campaining to get a few of those electoral college votes.

  • Rove and the Ne0-Cons and the Born Again Zionists are playing the Electoral College, as they have down twice, both times stealing the election in Ohio (Florida would not have been decisive without Ohio).

    The core is a mall minority of about 15 o

    r 20 percent--still supporting Bush.

    They work by divide and conquer, fragmenting the opposition, left and right.

    They think they have ahsot with McCain.

    If you fuckers let them they just may pull ot off.

  • I have bone cancer

  • Omnium malorum stultitia est mater atque materies.

  • I m joining, in fact there is only one president of the world. Ofcourse.

  • You've chosen. Goodbye.

  • Whatever you say, DominicMetal1979.

    Happy eternal returns, Domie Baby.

    Don't hurt yourself now, hear.

  • This guy is a sick f*ck. Pause it at any point and look at his lips.

    In another video he arrogantly tells STUDENTS to disrupt things and to have sex before marriage. He's an unshaven liberal puke.

  • Sex unapproved by Chruch or state. Omigod.

    Do you get a note from your physician for permission to masturbate, Dommy Baby?

  • Some of us want to be upright and have morals, live by principles, and be proper.

    Choose your side.

  • Hey, Domie Babe--you ever see DePalma's The Untouchables?

    You will note an interesting pattern--every Untouchable who takes a drink is killed in the next scene.

  • By morals, principles and proper, you mean your own version of it? I asked, since there are billions of people whom will disagree with those principles, morals and what is proper. After all there are more non-church goers than actual church goers.

    Anyways, no need to be over zealous and arrogant. You want to be "moral" and "proper" well that is your business. I'm glad we can choose what we want out of life, rather than being mindless slaves of a corrupt system, well some of us can.

  • There is only one proper morality.

    Maybe you're right about "no need to be over-zealous and arrogant." Not sure.

    Also, I didn't mention anything about church.

  • "There is only one proper morality.:

    Uno itinere non potest perveniri ad tam grande secretum.

  • There is only one truth. There is only one "secret."

  • has any one in Government even read the Constitution

    Amendment 14

    and then ask who are the Super delegates

    if you have read the 14th then you know that Super delegates are unconstitutional.

  • This guy lives in a world of his own. They have doctors for people like him.

  • Have you not noticed that these superdelagates very much enjoy and with great pseudo-humility absolutely relish the unique power-position they are in? You're asking Lex Luther to promise never to use cryptonite again and just play fair... not gonna happen.

  • Agreed, but the guy kind of makes a point, it is stupid in my opinion, they do shit like that, but who am i to argue with 'LAWS'...

    OMFG WTF AM I SAYING?!

    I hate the laws their fucking corrupt well about 78% of them are!

  • *LOL* Sorry the "OMFG WTF AM I SAYING!" is hilarious. XD

    And I agree with your statistics, though many would argue it's much higher than that. :/

    I feel bad for the people who have to study those laws all day. I can see why most law students would end up killing themselves. The stuff in the law books are horrendous.

    Anyways still a funny comment and so true. Thanks. It made my day.

  • Nice Arlo Guthrie rip-off

  • You had the only video in the 'politics' category that had any bit of important information.

    You've got my vote/subscription/support

  • Hang-on. Lets review.

    It didnt actually contain information.

    The video was essentially a call for students to unite and challange the American governamtn on several items related to "the war".

    Although it was a great video and made me want to join a large banner waiving croud of young hot lesbian students, Im afraid that "Stop the clash of civilisations" got my vote.

  • Bad choice of words, I guess. *Sheds many tears of failure*

    I value the opinion of the video, one that's usually ridiculed by many(incl. you). That was the main reason I voted for it.

    The 'Stop the clash of civilizations' concept seems pretty well perpetuated, I mean most people with the ability to use a computer should know by now that we are all subjective puzzle pieces of the one entity.

    But most people don't acknowledge the fact that we need to band together, in order to be heard.

  • I dont think I ridiculed that video.

    It genuinely made me question what I am doing to challenge authority's that not always speak on my behalf. At its core, regardless of your current status(student or 33yo Aussie guy) thats what this video wanted to acheive. It did so without question.

    Whilst I agree that most people "should" be more informed of, and understanding towards our international brethren. I feel the masses are not and any video that aids to educate is essential veiwing.

    :)

  • I didn't imply you ridiculed the video, what I was referring to was to was the whole remark about 'waving a banner with a large group of lesbians,' denoting protest. Which seemed a tad inappropriate, living in such times where protest will likely be a useful tool in the near future.

    I guess the whole absurdity of that "should" remark was a little hasty, as the should doesn't pay too much attention to the is.

    Any & all such info is needed, I guess quarreling over which is more real is kinda silly

  • Davis, it takes money to buy these characters. I hope you got the cash bro, bcuz that what it takes to move the big shots! Protests are done by honest people, very few of which get to be "undeclared" delegates. Maybe you can get Obey if he's one.. Good Luck!

  • Given that the process is corrupted by money buying air time and kickbacks, I think we need to get to the heart of the matter, and press for REAL campaign finance reform this time. So-called super-delegates are part of the problem, but the real clincher is the money game.

  • Oh I see America is Spatrta :)) poetry yes but I just such a fool

  • I did not see the comic book. The film was pretty funny, especially the black speedos.

    The physiques were also wrong, like so much of the US military.

    Or is it "speedoes"?

  • two thumbs up brotha!

  • that little dance cracks me up

    lol

  • Where is Davis? I guess they found his cave. Shows what they can do when they try.

    where are you, hermit?

  • Davis.. where are you! You said March 10th at 11 a.m. Now I have to stay in, because I can't go out. HALP!

  • Not only is Davis the best political comedian in the country, but I would vote for him for anything.

  • Hey, Fleetwood, Spitzer is a superdelegate pledged to Hillary. If he resigns, the Lt. Governor, already supporting Hillary, gets his place, and Hillary loses one super delegate.

    If he doesn't doesn't resign, suppose he would be interested in supporting a maverick?

  • you lazy arbait macht normaly pardon mact frei

  • SOLID - AND SOLD, DAVIS! But I told you that this whole thing was a sham when you were with the Kucinich campaign. You got the bitter taste when you did what you'd expect they would want - tho by asking you not to - SEND LETTERS MAKE CALLS ON KKUCINICH'S BEHALF - you started getting the idea. THEN WHEN THEY BOUNCED YOU - because of your devotion - YOU FINALLY ALLOWED THE LIGHTBULB TO SHED IT'S PROPER LIGHT! Better it happens sooner than later, friend!

    All the best,

  • Well, the election game is a whole series of hurdles, from the campaign funding to the debates to the superdelegates to the electoral college. Look at that last hurdle, if you want to understand 3rd party candidates chances. In the 1996 election Ross Perot got 8% of the popular vote (7.8 million votes) but NO Electoral College votes. Zero. Nanda.

  • well although it s a stage it does not exlude obligation

  • Superdelegates suck!

    The Democratic party is undemocratic!

    Vote Nader in '08!

  • Woah, 150,000 views. I didn't think that this would get above 5,000. A lot of these views seem to have come from all over the world, as the video was featured in about 20 countries, but not the US. Syill more viralling to do.

  • Gravel Kucinich Paul Nader;

  • Its a music clip right? So this is spam.

  • Demand your Congressmen pass a law against high oil prices!

  • mopsius, can't we just invade Iran and militarily dominate the entire ME and it's remaining oil fields? I mean that is the plan anyway, lets just ratchet it up a bit, maybe spice it up with a few more War powers for the President to help with the looming domestic crisis.

  • Capital, old man! Capital!

  • Oil prices are unpatriotic!

  • "[AP March 7,2008] Light, sweet crude for April delivery rose 46 cents to $105.93 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange after setting a new trading record of $106.54...

    Goldman Sachs, a widely watched oil price prognosticator, said oil could average $110 a barrel by 2010, up from a previous forecast of $80, and said a price spike as high as $200 a barrel is possible, according to Dow Jones Newswires...."

  • awesome you get mour support

  • Nice. Good energy.

  • 7 ok 96 no

  • Divide and conquer. Henry Kissinger sums up nicely, the program of "perpetual chaos" Nat Press Club 2001, Henry Kissinger: "I did not know know Richard Nixon when he appointed me Security Advisor. In fact, I had spent 3 campaigns backing Governor Nelson Rockefeller against Richard Nixon. So, when you read about how carefully I plotted my way into Nixon's proximity, you want to teach that to your children-say 'support the opponent of the man for whom you want to work."
  • What strikes me, causing me to throw my arms up in the air while screaming "FUCK IT"

    ..is the more corruption

    "we" seem to expose, the more corrupt the system becomes.

    What's happening here. Is exposing corruption and "leaking secrets," online giving justification to the fed's argument their

    access into privacy has no boundaries.

    Where's the revolution?

    Where's there a group unified in force who gathers physically and says

    "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH"

    WHY HASN'T CHENEY CHENEY BEEN IMPEACHED YET?

  • I'm sorry Davis, nothing personal, but it feels like 1 step forward 2 back...I mean look at the video where Conyers is wiggling out of considering impeachment...look at the two responses I've received from local council members who basically called me an ill-informed traitor. Reading their replies, I felt like I was back in the fucking confessional booth, feeling as if I had committed some horrific sin.

    We (you, me, mopsy and the rest) aren't changing one damn thing.

  • Remember what I said earlier--displays of unaccountability are what defines a member of the elite, much like Veblen's conspicuous consumption.

  • We are in real trouble if hillbill hijacks this country!

  • there will be hell in the streets if clinton overturns the american peoples voice!!!! the revolution will be on your front door!! she will hijack this country! we must! must! not let this happen!!!!

  • Ej men :))))

  • Hi Davis have you been thinking how ready is humanity for democracy, my appologies, but in the world where most people worry about their houses, shoes, food , cars, sex, love , movies , how many acctualy do understand politics? Is anybody raally interested? Are politicians aware what kind of responsibility they carry? I guess yes otherwise they wouldn t be applying for the job , I guess they are aware of the privilige and resposibility.

  • Hey Dems Us is 60 Trillion in debt and hillary and obama want to tac on madatory health care how you gonna pay for it we are broke! Socialist Democrats need to wake up!

    ur vote doesnt count Super delegates are gonna decide your nominee and you have NO voice!

  • You are 100% correct. We The People have been striped of our voices and rights while the huge, greddy corporate interest groups rule over us. That goes for media, DNC, Super Delegates. John Edwards was not allow to compete, and all Americans rights to know and hear were taken away. We must all work together, we are the majority and the minority are ruling. I am behind you 100%. I will contribute to the cause. Keep up the good work we all need to join in this cause. Marline

  • You are so right!! Rock on awesome youtuber! !♥--Hugs and Candy --♥ Brittani aka Rhonda Anthony Tanner/R.A.T. Coaching aka B-RAT :)

  • have you guys seen the "OBAMAFY" video??

  • what is this

  • I'm behind you on this Davis. But my guess would be -- as you said -- that the DLC chooses their superdelegates from a pool of elites who are groomed and trained to support the DLC (corp) interests, whatever that may be.

    That system, more than even Electoral College, INSULATES the elections from the "stupidity" (i.e. will) of the citizens.

    They're supposed to be OUR dogs. We're THEY'RE dogs. Sit. Roll over. Beg. Good doggies.

    I feel (fear)(hope) that some day enough of us will understand.

  • ¥T

  • You are a sad, sad man fleetwood. Pull your head out of your ass. No wonder Kucinich fired your sorry butt.

  • HELLO!?! the super delegates are the scam! let me guess, you actually think they give a shit what you think. "oh hey, super delegates, look here, I think you should vote for this guy". they don't give a damned about what you want. we should abolish them and that's that. remember how we were once able to impeach the prez. I bet money if we decided to do that now they'd tell you some bullshit story as why you can't do that anymore and you'd believe it wouldn't you?! the Super Delegates are a LIE!

  • I would rather have at least one super delegate vote for Mike Gravel.

  • i'd rather have 794 cast a vote for Gravel

  • still passing it on!

    thanks davis!!!!

    jess

  • If they are really nice to us we may be generous enough to show them a way out of a real excess of rubber bullets up their worthless born Again and Neo-Con asses.

  • Going by their track record I don't hold out a lot of hope for them, Mopsius. Never mind, "strap it on" as they say....

  • Let us pray.

  • I mean, if you are stupid enough to be a member of Bush's "Silent Majority", the most intelligent thing you can do is shut up.

    Meanwhile the Bushies will keep you hopping, fighting and dying in their wars, destroying the currency, causing high oil prices, and foreclosing on your real estate when you don't shut up and fork over, hehe.

    I think we need a new Hippie Corporate Consultant uniform.

  • if you dont read your arm loan papers why should the goverment help your fuckin ass while the rest of us do the best we can without being stupid and get an arm loan

  • thank you! i agree, but, there needs to be some room for accountability for the deception by the lenders or sellers, and there was plenty.

  • Representative democracy much? Super-delegates are to break a tie, like the House of Representatives in the General Election.

  • Superdelegates should vote their conscience. Popular opinion depends on marketing and the polls should not sway the will of a superdelegate. President Wood? FleetWood? Which one is it? This internet nocaps dot com era is soooo confusing.

  • Davis, you are a rebel and a patriot! If you get even one superdelegate, I'll show you me ***

    and by *** I mean""".

    Kate

  • can i see your ***,and your """"....and then i can maybe put it in your @@@?...tha wouLd be *******awesome...then you can put my %%%% IN your mouth....wile you shove a carrot up your tightVVVVVVV !!!

  • I think what you are missing there, in your delightfully explosive little comment TheCareMores, is that some things need to be earned. Feelings of jealousy, understandable as they are, won't get you anywhere.

  • that comment was suposed to be a reply to citizen kate

  • no kidding............

  • lol....so i pretty much dont know what you are talking about....but i think you need to chill out before i put my **** in your ***

  • TheCareMores, you seem a little weird. Presumably a **** is the same as a ****, so I can't imagine what anatomical impossibility you are fetishizing over with complete strangers. I'll give the sharing videos a pass too, thanks anyway...

  • sharing videos?what are you talking about?and i really dont care to know.....and maybe i am a little weird and maybe you are to....and maybe we can do a little bit of*******.....or some ...*********....ill bet you like that wouldnt you

  • you dirty little slut you

  • oh,the shareing videos....i just tried to add you so i could leave you a comment telling you how much of a bitch you are,but then i saw that people had already left comments saying that exact same thing,so you set it up to where only your friends could talk to you....so your feelings wouldnt get hurt anymore,bu now i do have the chance...and you are totally a bitch,you need to get off of your glory horse and snap into reality....ill bet your fat to....and im down with that....baby....;)

  • Man, you don't know a thing about me. A fat bitch? And you are "into that"? Cough. When I started on youtube, if a negative comment amused me, I would leave it up instead of deleting it. it Did you know you can do that?

  • Yes, queny2, I went one better--copying negative comments and posting them on my other videos.

    These people are too stupid to see why.

    I usually encourage them to post more.

  • you can post your lips on my balls

  • I like your motivation an willingness to go work against something that is a far more pleasant expression of Party Politics that one would expect.

    I am almost hoping that the Superdelegates nominate HC. The reaction might be enough to break the Democratic Party. AFAIK Obama has not actually said that he would bow to the will of the Party if he wins the majority in the Primaries and they decide otherwise.

    How many non-voters would get active if Obama ran as an Independent?

  • Ah, another Republican or Neo-Con fiddling for an election close enough to be stolen by McCain.

  • Hint: both the Republican and the Democrat Party as they now stand are finished with the empire crashing to the ground in Mesopotamia.

    It's just a matter of time.

    Doesn't much matter who wins the presidential elections if it is merely business as usual and a foreign policy in the interests of the Likud.

  • This guy needs to get laid...BAD!

  • Who, Clinton?

  • Why do you keep posting NmmiFoo that he "needs to get laid?" Look at the elections, economy, and Iraq. All totally fucked. Is that a good thing?

  • Strap it on Hermit, Strap it on! 8o)

  • wellllllllllllllllllllllllllll­llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll­llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll­l

  • well guys don´t forget that the majority of these superdelegates are senators and members of congress + some ex-presidents(hullo mr. clinton) and so on and so on and what do you guys think their voters will do if they feel cheated by them?

  • Has Bill said who he is rooting for?

  • w.w.w.fikraonline.c.o.m

  • The superdelegate system is terrible. It's ironic that the superdelegates are unique to the "Democratic" party. I've made a pledge that says when the Democratic convention comes around if the superdelegates nominate a candidate that goes against how the people voted... I will leave the democratic party. You can sign the pledge at invisibleleader(dot)blogspot(d­ot)com and help support Democracy. The list of supporters will be presented to the DNC. Let's show our numbers!

  • Davis,

    That intro is pretty intense! It kinda scared me. lol *Sandy*

    PS Wow, look at the honours!

  • I recently saw a long interview with Fidel Castro, made a few months ago.

    He told the interviewer that he was spending most his time writing essays now.

    The interviewer asked an interesting question that one would not expect from an American.

    He said--"Have you ever tried your hand at poetry?".

    It was a split second, but Castro did not expect the question from that interviewer.

    The interviewer immediately went up in his opinion.

    It is telling how humbly and apologetically he answered "No."

  • Mao Tse-tung in fact, whatever one thinks of him ideologically, was by far the greatest modern poet in classic Chinese forms, itself an irony.

    That was also an important aspect of his political success in China, though most Americans, left and right, cannot figure out why for the life of them.

  • Hilary's opinion on SUPERDELEGATES:

    she states "the whole idea of superdelegates is they're SUPPOSED to exercise their independent judgement. NOW, it can be on the of ANYTHING and there is NO requirement that it stay on one candidate-it can move because that independent judgement - about who would be the best president - who would be the best nominee - who has the best chance to win, is obviously affected by the evolving nature of the campaign...(cont)

  • so for whatever reason people with those kinds of experiences which voters don't have -they (the individual voter) sees us from afar, they come to a speech, they watch us on TV and they VOTE and that is part of the process...but the whole idea behind members of congress and govenors (superdelegates) exercising this independent judgement, is to give due recognition to their different experience and I think we should respect that and I have every confidence that this is going to be worked out"

  • Are the previous comments about the US/Israel relationship related to the "SUPERDELEGATES?"

    no but it's educational: In 2002 "Deep Throat Returns" - Air Force Lt. Col. Kwiatkowski, while employed in the Pentagon's (NESA), due to frustration over US/Israeli policy, began writing anon "One such column castigated Sec. of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, and also undersecretaries Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith, both Jews, accusing them of being in the palm of Israel and the Likud..."

    DAMN the neocons!

  • Colonel Kwiatkowski's definitive list:

    lewrockwell(dot)com/kwiatkowsk­i/kwiatkowski200(dot)html

  • thanks mopsy, until yesterday

    I had never heard her name.

    "Causes and Consequences of Our Foreign Policy in the Middle East and What It Means for Americans"

    -The following is the text of a speech given at Virginia Tech on February 12, 2008.-

  • Kwiatkowski's list was well worth the look up. Thanks, Mopsius.

  • Featured your video on my profile page. I wish you the best with this project. Keep us informed!!

  • So, anyone think a presidential election is going to solve this fucking disaster?

    It's taken a generation to produce this fuck up.

  • you're exactly right...

    it's safe to say that anyone over age 20 is ill-informed due to rupert's mass murder media...

    "youth is bot wasted on the young"

    they are the ones who could change events if the right person gets to their fresh minds first

  • ...NOT wasted on the young

  • ferget that-

    too idealistic!

  • OUCH!

  • It's a jungle out there.

    No different from in here, hehe.

  • Now, get really subtle and complicated--how do Murdoch, the media and the Communist Chinese fit into the equation?

  • slow down! I'm stuck on "Likud"

  • FWIW - "The Likud has become one of Israel's major conservative parties The Likud claims to support free market capitalism, though in practice it has mostly adopted moderate economic policies. The Likud, under the guidance of Finance minister Benjamin Netanyahu, pushed through legislation reducing value added tax (VAT), income and corporate taxes significantly, as well as customs duty. Likewise, it has instituted free-trade (especially with the European Union & the U.S.)
  • and dismantled certain monopolies

    (Bezeq and the sea ports). Additionally,

    it has managed to privatize numerous

    government owned companies

    (El Al and Bank Leumi). The last Likud Finance minister, now the party leader, Benjamin Netanyahu, was the most ardent free-market Israeli

    Finance minister to-date, argues that Israel's largest labor union, the Histadrut, has so much power as to be capable of paralyzing the Israeli economy...annexation and settlement of the entire Land of Israel.."

  • Another irony--half the assholes waving the American flag and demanding "patriotism" are Israel firsters.

  • So who is paying for all this?

    Silly question.

  • During Vietnam there were also all sorts of church groups protesting the war.

    They are almost all bought off now with faith-based initiatives.

  • But the real brilliance of the Neo-Cons and the Born Aain Zionists was this--faith-based inititaves.

    These are funding the Born Again political machine.

    They bought off the Roman Catholic Church too.

    Any government money that goes to Catholics takes the pressure off them, while they seek to pay billions in civil suits for covering up for priest pedophiles, as in two recent suits in California.

  • The Neo-cons moved in, told the Born Again what they wanted to hear, and coopted American foreign policy in the interest of Zionism and the Likud.

    The Neo-Cons also told the the Corporate Fascists, Democrat and Republican, what they wanted to hear.

    The Born Again are treated like royalty by the Likud in Israel.

    The Likud bought off Americans with the Americans' own money. You give them huge foreign aid, they buy off your legislators to get more foreign aid and buy off more legislators.

  • This is what the Germans call a Kulturkampf.

  • Most Americans really don't want to face what utter insanity Prohibition was.

    The rest of the world, outside Islam, thought the US was insane.

    They were right.

    But just as the military brass forgot Vietnam when they invaded Iraq, the world forgot about the US passing prohibition.

    The nut cases did not go away. They were just recharging their batteries.

    The tipoff was when Ashcroft covered up the nude statues as pornography.

  • Awesome.

  • Reagan got saddled with Bush as Eisenhower got saddled with Nixon.

    Without Reagan no Bushes, either one of them.

  • Reagan was relatively sane. He started out as a leftist.

    The people around him were big in advertising but they were not criminals.

    When Marines got blown up in Lebanon get blown up, what does he do?

    Hightails it out of there (rational thing) and attacks Grenada to cover up.

    When you look back, his real offence was bringing the Born Agains into national politics, like Falwell and Reed and Rove and the rest.

    He wasn't one of them but he gave them a taste of political success.

  • Fleetwood, my man, target the female superdelgates specifically, Woo them. they probably have more balls than the males.

  • And before you get lazy and conclude what I am saying is crazy--consider this, it was these same folks's forebears who actually got Prohibition passed, even though the majority of Americans were against it.

    And what unpasssed it was disaster.

  • Michelle Goldman is right too--these folk are not just after reversing the Constitution. They want to nullify the Englightenment.

  • Maybe the US capital should be moved to, say, Saint Louis.

    Like Brasilia.

  • This is a well crafted plot--been going on since the Moral Majority under Reagan.

    But they are only about fifteen percent of the population and the lunatics are mostly in the US South.

    Unholster those sex guns, pardner.

    Divide and conquer.

  • Three superdelegates with balls and brains.

    That's a tall order.

  • "Faculty on Food Stamps"

    professors on public assistance!

    Now this is a sad commentary

  • Check out Liberty University, Falwell's "University" on wikipedia.

    Sounds like the 1950's.

    No tenured faculty by policy.

    Teach one thing out of the party line--the axe.

    Academic freedom all right.

    They are training lawyers too.

    And sending people into the USMC as officers.

    Almost makes one feel sorry for the Marines.

  • Now I see why you're not a politician-

    you're a poet!

    I can't name a single politician that was a poet.

    :>

  • Mao Tse-Tung, Eugene McCarthy, Dag Hammerskjold--a large number actually ancinet and modern.

    In fact a tradition in the Far East and among many other cultures elsewhere.

    Americans labor under very limiting stereotypes.

  • There's some "interesting" commenting going on at the

    "PAKISTAN BANS YOUTUBE ACCESS! AND CRASHES SITE WORLDWIDE!" video

    (yawn)

    same ole regurgitation

    fear me, fear them, fear them

    911,911 help me I'm helpless

    THEY are going to kill us!

    Enter, the "war of terror"

    (Someone's made a hell of alot of money of this fabrication)
