“ One look at this Obama chap is all the answer you need. Suave, tanned, unflappable, Harvard connections; it’s obvious that here is a man to the conservative manor born. One imagines him at the helm of the Ship of State, basked in the sunlight diffusing through the seaspray over the bow, like some beautiful rugged Othello from a rapturous Ralph Lauren catalog, calmly issuing instructions to the deck crew in that magnificent mellifluous baritone of his. iowahawk: As a Conservative, I Must Say I Do Quite Like the Cut of this Obama Fellow’s Jib

“…But the most important reasons I’m speaking out for Barack Obama are named Robert and Meredith, my two children. My wife Lisa and I talked it over, and honestly, we know in our gut that their future is more secure if Barack Obama is president. At the end of the day, there’s just nothing more important than that.” —Junior Johnson

No snarkiness, In fact, it makes me a little embarrassed for putting up the last video “swift jews for truth”

Starting to think post 11/4, will we keep our shit together or will we go right back to yelling at each other like we have for too long?

I’ve got one more week to change some more minds…or fail to and just piss them off—at this point I don’t care.

“ To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. “Can I interest you in the chicken?” she asks. “Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it?

All grasses are edible, but grass won’t sustain you by itself. Any fungus that grows on a tree is safe to eat. Grubs are pure protein and can be found under almost any rotting log.
