What's the best part about Obama's victory today

No option to vote for Obama's hat.

gabbneb not being able to post to the primaries thread anymore

Maybe now we can bury the Clintons in the same toxic sewer in which Nixon's body should have been dumped.

we're discussing Obama, his hat, squirrels, and nuts on this thread. not the clintons or dead bodies or how HilRod is a lesbo

It gives the world some false hope before he is crushed in November?

Obama can continue dismantling himself as per his church-leaving, we'll see how many of you still claim to recognize him in November.

er, he's not that hard to miss

Is he going to grow a bushy mustache?

WHO IS THAT DASHING MAN IN THE HAT

i didnt peg you for a religious dude

You were wrong then.

guys i think morbs is trying to imply that obama is a squirrel. i could be reading his post wrong though

About the pegging?

xpost

morbs is also known to go around at parties reminding people that the food is unhealthy and the beverages are a leading cause of traffic fatalities.

Morbs is that friend that reminds your little brother that the polyethylene terephthalate in his water bottle is going to give him cancer.

That friend is awesome!

I was just kidding anyway. Morbs doesn't get invited to parties.

i think morbs is awesome!

I think so too! He's just a spoilsport at times, which he's perfectly entitled to be.

No, I know. How can you not just want to give him a hug?

kenan shut the fuck up

now that's just uncalled for

deej, I hope you didnt peg Obama for a religious dude

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ac/Stavenn_Sciurus_aberti_kaibabensis_00.jpg

...or a liberal

That religious dude is going to be so disappointed in you

Or Morbius for making any sense. . .

i love that the squirrel rolls through the middle of morbs' sentence there

cmon, if Obama was me making sense NONE of you would be supporting him.

g'night, enjoy All Saint Day.

they were a pop band, right?

If Obama was you, I'd still vote for you over John McCain.

if you were you making sense i'd support you

cmon, if Obama was me making sense NONE of you would be supporting him.

Still don't think he's perfect. Still think he's the best shot at a marginally liberal Democratic presidency since McGovern. Still think he's a step or two above McCain.

I will enjoy All Saint Day, thx for the blessing.

I will have an answer for you in late August.

Saint or no saint, I know I will sleep better tonight without nagging thoughts of Hillary scooping up the nomination somehow, like she so wanted to. I mean, what if she had? I know, futile exercise, like when you *almost* die in an accident and keep thinking about What Ifs, but... sigh.

McCain would have crushed her.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

You guys also know that Lego Indiana Jones is out today, right?

i just learned both of those things here, on this thread.

I heard clinton offered to be veep

she's like the goddamn terminator just keeps coming at you

What's the most polite way to say OH HAI THANKS FOR DAT?

looks like Obama would have better luck picking the primaries thread as veep

I still have a Sore Loserman t-shirt somewhere. Good times.

I am grateful for this thread as an easily accessible permanent archive of photos of Obama wearing the hat.

good lord he is sexy in that hat

getting to say "brainwasher otm" again (always lol) and then lock the fucking thing has been the highlight of my day. and I had a really productive day full of pizza, new computers, sunshine and yes, obama winning (news 2 no 1 tho) etc. but that felt really good.

it could have also been this mexican beer with the lime in it and summer rain but I think it was mostly brainwasher otm lock thread.

hell, I saw All About Eve instead of campaign speeches.

oh and then dave mccallum's "The Edge" came on my iTunes on shuffle which was also awesome.

disturbing but true. i don't think i want my presidential candidate to be sexy!

anyone else happy about obama's win, but struck by a nagging dread of the general election?

but the best presidents have been sexy! jfk, clinton, lincoln, lbj, fdr, carter

you have interesting taste. anyway, i don't think obama's normally sexy...the hat is what does it.

I fear I have been unduly influenced by Britain's recent habit of voting for whichever one is better looking but I look at McCain and see a member of the undead and think "why are people worried about him beating Obama?" Then I remember the American electorate is probably less flaky than ours.

ha! ha! ha!

This is relevant to my interests

I can't tell what's real and what's a joke any more.

we're through the squirrel hole now.

I've read about that book. I think it is real.

http://www.lpboulder.com/images/nanny.gif

lol at taxes = getting your arm lopped off.

The 18th amendment was much more 'nanny state'.

what do you say to people who complain about taxes on the principle that the government has no right to take their money? i mean, people you like and don't want to be rude to by saying "oh would you quit being ridiculous?"

(ps if anyone on ilx holds that view, would you please quit being ridiculous?)

Maria, meet my brother in law, son of Michigan militia type. Amazingly, his dad was military guy so basically his entire salary and therefore the wellbeing of his five kids was down to Federal money coming his way? My mother's direct argument ran along the lines of 'where exactly do you get off, fucker? Oh and yr argument moot until you GET ONE REAL JOB.'

I find that the holders of these opinions have some tragic flaw in the head.

trying to argue with tax ppl is even more pointless than trying to argue with fundamentalists, as soon as you hear somebody say "the government has no right to take our money you know" the best strategy is to say "you know, I wonder if the Red Sox will will this pennant"

say "i'll just be taking that interstate system back now"

I didn't ask for the dadburned interstate. I'd rather drive on the beautiful historic highways of yesteryear!

etcetcetc for millenia

can someone with more energy and drive than me start a "RONG" thread based solely on the primaries threads so far. like not "RONG" in an opinion-based way but posts that have been proven wrong by the political process thus far. i think it would be interesting but i have no interest in actually doing it

tracer otm. also how about "the government shouldn't tax me unless it's for purposes i approve, which are the military and like 2 other things but NOT welfare and that shit"...i mean, i would prefer the government not tax me so much for the military, but paying for the parts you approve is not how it works.

Oh dudes please, we do this every month when T1m gets entitled tax-dodge male PMS. Roads? Check. Disaster relief? Check. Terrism? Check.

It's double hilarious because my mom is the other variant of tax whinger, the one that extrapolates the $20k she pays in taxes each year into funding the entire structure of the US government, eg. she is singlehandedly paying for all this welfare for all these cheaters with four kids, getting $500/month Ritalin money per child.

mortgage crisis bailout? check.

^^printed out, tacked to the wall behind my desk

this election thread is preferable, it has more squirrels.

I am loving a) the hat and b) the squirrels.

Basically Ed OTM.

just say: did you know the government makes the money?

I wouldn't try that unless you really want the word 'fiat currency' marching towards the conversation.

these people tend to believe that thing have intrinsic value and that way madness lies.

i would personally love to pwn any fool dare speak such words in my presence

I will sleep better tonight without nagging thoughts of Hillary scooping up the nomination somehow, like she so wanted to.

Just remember: THE LAST SCENE OF CARRIE

i think you're thinking of the last scene of "friday the 13th"

My brother in law probably thinks that fiat currency is a gift certificate for a new Italian sports car. He is also bustin' proud of having an 'associate degree' and it is all I can do not to wear the gas face when he discusses it.

THE LAST SCENE OF CARRIE

That was just a dream, dude. Yeah, I guess nightmares are still possible.

That's a bit snobby! (xpost)

Pwning these fellows is difficult, they are immune to logic, reason and modern 18th century thinking.

xpost

I'll take my chances with Internet strangers thinking I'm a snob kthx.

I'm considering meaningful direct action: my BIL has the views of a lobotomized Grand Wizard and should be tarred, feathered and marched through a Detroit housing project by separatist lesbeans (his worst nightmare). I reserve the right to wipe my arse with his lamer community college degree.

what are 'separatist lesbians' and can we eat them?

They taste like chicken.

I'll take my chances with Internet strangers thinking I'm a snob kthx.

Fair enough.

but no threads about it, mind.

i was just wondering what happened to lolcats

I didn't ask for the dadburned interstate. I'd rather drive on the beautiful historic highways of yesteryear!
Yeh, they usually think that it'd be much better if everybody fended for himself: if you wanted schools you'd pay for them, and if you wanted rubbish taken away you'd buy sanitation, if you need security he'd buy a gun yawn zzz.

But he can have that any time, it's just that everybody else has pooled together to build schools, hire trashmen and so on, and they also happen to have bought a huge prison system and lotsa guns, and there's lots more of them and if he wants them to acknowledge his rights (like to his property) he needs to play by their rules.

http://i31.tinypic.com/eg4jya.jpg

love that one

Without the interstates to carry most of the long-haul traffic, the historic highways of yesteryear would be nightmarish, congested death traps.

I know -- I should be on the floor, blubbering about the awesome specialness of this moment, but my trick knee won't let me. It was inevitable that someone other than a middle-age or elderly white man would snag a corporate party nomination; and that Obama spreads it smooth like Sam Cooke laying it down for the ages definitely helps polish the process. You couldn't cast it better. Roaming around the libsphere, I see the predictable gushing, weeping, looking to heaven with beatific gleams. CHANGE is coming, we're breathlessly told. Big CHANGE -- CHANGE that'll burn away your clothes and leave you standing naked in the New Dawn, ready for rebirth. Feh. What can you do? Once the snake waving starts and the tongues channel Babylonian gibberish, all one can do is step outside the tent, take a few belts from a large flask, and hope that the worshippers don't get too excited and descend upon the town, torches raised, hyper-mad expressions on their faces.

gabbneb, would it make you feel better if i clarified my feelings that pretty much everybody on the primaries threads were a bunch of lunatic assholes shouting loudly into adjoining empty rooms?

just wanted to make sure that you didn't feel singled out or anything.
