You could always draw inspiration from the Larry Craig or Eliot Spitzer mold, which apparently requires no dicipline whatsoever.

Maybe that's not the kind of discipline he's talking about. Maybe it's the discipline that keeps these guys from saying STFU when some says something stupid.

And this chrome thing does weird stuff on the wrap-around in these text boxes.

Oh brother...
If McCain wins, look for a full-fledged race and class war, fueled by a deflated and depressed country, soaring crime, homelessness - and hopelessness!

By "Oh brother", I mean it looks like some on the left have taken fear mongering lessons from the "9/11 al Qaeda's gonna get ya" righties.

Then there's people posting here advocating violence, rioting, and civil war if "they steal the election again".

Kooks to the right of me, kooks to the left of me... Any wonder why I loathe both parties?

I know. Just was a good setup for a little jab at the Craigs, Spitzers, et al.

No question. Everyone loves Obama for his towering achievements if nothing else.

But MCain understood that after such whirlwind relationship, even the most dedicated American is looking for some "strange".
I'm afraid you're just too darn loud.

I don't think this cat represents Democrats at large, but I do really worry about what will happen if Obama doesn't win. The ranks of the moon-bats and Info-Warriors will swell significantly.

Which other board?

Anyway, do other people think the Sarah Palin exceeding low expectations means a successful speech tonight thing works? I kind of think it does not.

philliesphans. I don't really post there much anymore, and when I do it's usually college hoops or football. But they were going on about so much crap about Palin, I weighed in, and I probably would be happier if I hadn't.
