Grrrrrr.....

OK, ya got me on that one...

Michale.....

I'm stuck wondering what exactly a "Blank" Panther looks like. Invis-i-kitty?

Heh heh. Couldn't resist.

My election picks column is up...

Before you answer that, imagine a couple of rednecks wearing T-Shirts with Confederate Flags and camo fatigues, standing in front of an Alabama voting station, one armed with a baseball bat..

I can picture the Democrats reaction to the former..

"eh, what's the problem? They aren't doing anything..."

And the Dem reaction to the latter??

"OH MY GODS!!! VOTER INTIMIDATION!!! ARRGHHH!!!!!"

Go ahead.. Tell me I am wrong. :D

Michale....

No, I'm free and clear...

Naw, I just read an article about Obama voting. It mentioned that Ayers voted in the same place a little before Obama.

It just got me thinking that a piddley-arsed "crime" like DWS prevents an American from voting..

But a terrorist that blew up buildings, was responsible for deaths and thinks that RFK's assassin was a "political" prisoner gets to cast a vote..

It simply boggles the rational mind...

I voted last week under early voting here in FL. Unfortunatly, I didn't have my camera with me (grandson being born took priority, camera-wise :D ) so ya'all just gonna have to take my word for it. :D

Michale.....

Oh my God! Don't tell me they didn't let you vote!

You get arrested twice for driving while suspended, you can't vote.

You blow up buildings, cause the deaths of people and dedicate your book to RFK's assassin and you get to vote..

What a crazy country this is sometimes..

Michale.....

I'd never ask Rush Limbaugh - or the vast majority of the idiots who call themselves journalists or pundits, for that matter - anything about anything because the collective lot of them are completely incapable of intelligent thought or cogent analysis, period.

If you ask me, you have no business copping a mea culpa - not for any of your blogging which rests in the company of a select few who have reported on the critical issues and difficult challenges of the day with level-headed intelligence and clear-eyed insight, always infused with a reliably phenomenal sense of humour.

The media coverage of this campaign has been a major eye-opener, even for a moderately (bordering precariously on right off the cliff) cynical and self-described media critic like myself. It seems as though I have always known that you can seldom believe what you read or hear in the media but I literally had no idea about just how dangerously incompetent and inept they could be. And, sadly, I have no hope that this particular situation will change, anytime soon or ever.

And, so...Chris, don’t ever stop doing what you’re doing or even think about apologizing for it because we need you and your reality-based political commentary far too desperately!

Please don't stop making suggestions in your FTP posts because there is still a lot of work to do after the election to repare all the damage that has been done.

Depends on who you ask.

I thought it was only polite while castigating others to include myself as a mea culpa. I'm not really on the left/right scale, I'm off in the third (second?) dimension of "reality-based politics." But, like I said, I felt it was only polite to blame myself as well (for all those Friday Talking Points columns, mostly).

But I bet if you asked Rush Limbaugh, he'd say "Who? Chris who?" Heh heh. But then if he read a column or two of mine, I bet he'd call me a lefty. Close enough for government work, as they say...

Who knew.

May I predict that it will take less than the first 100 days of an Obama/Biden administration to cure you of all of that. In fact, I will hereby bet the farm - even if it's Iowa - that you are safely tucked into the fold of the true blue centrists before Inauguration Day!
