Felicity:

Well, clearly you either misheard her or she misspoke.  So what?  She has made her position clear consistently over the past few debates: one or two brigades (~3,000-6,000 soliders) will return each month beginning 60 days after she takes office.

Peace.

Maani, was Hillary.  I about fell on the floor when she said it, it being “I will bring the troops home within 60 days of becoming president.”

No, Felicity, that is not what she said.  She has consistently said (at least beginning with the debates) that she will BEGIN bringing home troops within 60 days.

Please cite your source.

Peace.

Hillary’s latest minutes-ago.  “I will bring the troops home from Iraq within sixty days of when I become president.” Impossible even if one wanted to.

And McCain performing for conservatives - “the government must protect the liberty and property of every individual” - (not McCain) except when she wants to exercise her liberty and end her pregnancy, or he wants to exercise his liberty and control his life by dying.

Outraged:

Yikes!  I’ve seen other videos like this one, and they just make me cringe.  True, it is a very small “sample size.”  But it shows a fundamental lack of education re geography, history (even recent history), and socio-politics.

May be we should revoke these people’s right to vote!  LOL.

Peace.

Wisdom….?  Whoa, some of us would have a long way to go if we were actually TRYING to get there…....

Cyrena:

This one’s for you…well…..and Texas…....LOL.

Here, here!  Let me add my voice to JS and Cyrena; fabulous stuff!  I think YOU should be writing for LieDig; you make more sense in three long paragraphs than the regular writers do in a long piece.  And you’re ALOT funnier!

Bravo!

Outstanding rant, I,Q…outstanding rant!

This is all too sadly true, but very entertaining nonetheless. (great when reality can actually bring a chuckle these days…takes talent to do that. )

Anyway..thanks. I love the Oven Mitt label, although I can’t quite get to any chuckles with Chucklesbee, seeing as how the “Near Enders” and others whose entire lives are spent waiting for the future after death. Geeze…they are SO depressing, but there sure are a hell of a lot of them.

So you’re right…Wisdom is overrated, just like youth is wasted on the young.

Or rather, wisdom is dead. The soundbite rules and even Orwell’s notion of the Ministry of Truth seems quaint: that there would be a bureaucracy with hundreds of employees scurrying around revising historical documents to keep them in line with whatever the current media narrative!  No, there is a large enough and effective enough portion of society who simply does not care what the history is or was (i believe most of Congress fals in this category), or what the facts are, or about any of the details of any policy or for that matter how pollsters assert that they should or shouldn’t behave (within a 4% margin of error). Wisdom is out the window with the bathwater close behind it.

We don’t care much for history anymore with all of this now! now! now! being shoved in our collective faces, but what we do care about is making history. i’m not sure why since no one will care about it come Monday—or tomorrow even (unless there’s a parade and an excuse to get wasted in the middle of the day). Old white ladies and latinos are voting for Clinton because she looks vaguely familiar and yet somehow different all at the same time, and there’s a certain comfort to that in all this confusion. Young people raised on videogames and Sesame Street know that sequels are rarely as good as the original, so they want Obama. And older white men are jumping on board with Obama as well, but for them it’s the familiarity factor in reverse, Hillary reminds them too much of their wives (insert rimshot for comic effect). Yet both candidates are, in the ever-inspiring sloganizing of Wolf Blitzer, “electrifying because history will be made! “

Even if making history isn’t your thing or you really don’t have a clue about it or are deathly afraid of change, you can cozy up to McCain and snooze comfortably while he drones on with all the charisma of a fifth grade book report. And let’s not forget the social conservatives whose entire lives are spent waiting for a future after death—for them history can take a flying leap, it’s not all that flattering to them anyhow. They have the noble burden of deciding between Chucklesbee and his bottomless bag of well timed one-liners (or Chuck-a-bee if you want to maximize the Norris factor) and Oven Mitt trying not to get burned as he attempts to have his cake and eat it too. As to which will be the emcee as the rapture carries true-believers away from this f@cking mess they’ve created for the rest of us to live down, there’s no contest, Huck’s the better showman….

...as is Obama on the dem’s side.  And in this media age, where the sound bite rules, it’s the new that’s news. Don’t worry what you say, it’ll be forgotten tomorrow anyway. Just look sharp and sound real good, and give a nod to camera two. Now take a breath and settle in, we’re back in 3… 2… 1…

“Welcome my friends to the show that never ends….”
