"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?' To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and

It's pretty witty, and there's no reason to be undecided unless you are really, really rich but hate McBush. But to compare the choice between chicken and shit is a disservice and the type of divisiveness that I hope we get away from.

Yeah yeah bi-partisan boy...we get it, its big hug time ;)

Fuck that! I don't want to get along with them, I want to crush them. I want a 60 seat filibuster-proof Senate majority, a lock on the House and Barack in the Whitehouse. I want the Republicans to cry like little girls and finally be forced to realize that their ideology of idiocy is a dead end, and that they must move to the center to ever be viable again.

Then we can discuss coming together, because until they do decide to join the "reason-based community" instead of fighting for the fantasy squad, there's no real common ground.

Obviously we need to become bipartisan by them dropping their ideology.

I'm just saying you don't call an ignorant hick an ignorant hick if you want them to let go of their ignorant hickness. But we should definitely hit them with a big, filibuster proof stick as much as possible at the same time.

But these McCainiacs are fucking scary and I doubt there's much reasoning with them (like the lady who carved a B in her own face to make up a story about being attacked by a black man trying to force her to support Obama)

I heard about that woman. What a bitch.

Well, at least the author finally gets around to a valid point: Jerry Brown DOES look like a good candidate this season.
