During my kayak trip through the southern Caribbean, I spent a couple of weeks in Grenada ("A three island nation"). I had trouble crossing the swift channel current to get to Grenada proper. It turns out that a seal team was dropped into that same channel and peak flood and were swept out to sea. No survivors. "Saving the poor med students" was a fabrication. The med students were partying at the beach at the time of the invasion, and had to be located to be 'rescued'. It's an island-wide joke today. Carriacou, the northernmost island, underwent an amphibious invasion, to the besumement of the residents, who were doing what they do everyday; tending their beach front bars, sweeping sidewalks, and delivering crates of warm Coca Cola. One day out of the blue, somebody's army showed up. Then they were gone. OK, whatever, brah. As you can surmise, the Grenadans are not terribly political folk. For them, the invasion was a break from the sameness of island life, some were into it, some resented it, most didn't know what to think, but all found it highly entertaining.

We've also got to stop watering those plants. To the compost heap with 'em.

I was at Prost last night for Obama's acceptance speech and, right when it was over, the bartenders lit off with Springstein's 'Born in the USA' at volume 11. Contrast that with McCain's concession speech audience booing the newly elected 44th president of the United States. McCain was saying we should all come together, and they were booing. A real class act, those folks. Fortunately, the camera crew subtley lightened it up a bit by zooming in on the Sarah Palin lookalikes in the audience (70's cheerleader pulled back hair, rectangular glasses, a substantial overburden of cheap makeup). There were quite a few. BEEOOTIFUL. USA! USA! USA!

Every once in a while, the morons get what's coming to them. Now STFU Dino, you fucking whining idiot. The State of Washington has had quite enough of you, your 16 lane 520 projects OF THE FUTURE!!!! , and your pocket lining posse. You're dumber than a post and, boy, does it show.

From a British play, can't remember which. Americanize it and you've got PP and Co.: "He's like a wilted Victorian plant relegated to a forgotten corner, waiting for the sun to shine on the Empire once again."

The 'Party of Reagan' conjured him as a Great Man from myth. Reagan's approval ratings towards the end of his final term were among the lowest in history (until Bush came along to beat all the records!). He was a complete fuck up; his policies were a disaster. The POR had to come up with a myth to keep the myth going, so they came up with 'He Won the Cold War', the narrative being that we buried the Soviets as they struggled financially to keep up with our grotesque (at the time, anyway. Again, Bush has sailed right through those numbers) defense spending. Historians, not than anyone ever reads them, have long revealed this as the bullshit story it is.

OK, Grandma. You want your milk warmed?

Feel free to spend the remainder of your twilight years waiting for the return of the Revolution the nation just resoundingly put a stake through the heart of. The rest of us will moving on and into the 21st century, as we should have done 8 years ago. Here's to longing for the return of a past that never was, and the darling little fools who think it possible.

Is it true that FW agreed not to post FOR A YEAR? Christmas freakin' marnin' over here!

Its amazing what happens when a smart, serious, competent, and honest person comes along, fights for, and wrests the presidency from the brainless zombies. The last guy with all of those qualities was Ike, I believe. People actually want to be a part of it. I'm celebrating because I've got the country I love back. It will no longer be run by ideological cretins who have nothing but distain for what I believe, the Constitution, the wellbeing of most Americans, and the health of the planet we depend on, and our national honor and integrity. Yay.fckn.life indeed. Plus, as an added bonus, that lying sack of fuzzy dogshit Rossi went down big, as well. Hopefully, that will be the last we see of his whining, moronic sad puppy dog ass. Jebus, the other stuff, too: Death with Dignity, Transportation. F'n Christmas morning, I tell ya.

Racists like KK certainly aren't happy this morning, but history and the better part of our enlightened society left them behind like so much garbage a long, long time ago. They'll STFU eventually (actually, KKK already has, undoubtedly with some well earned embarrassment) once they realize that no one is, or ever was, listening.

Downtown Ballard's going insane right now.

The eat-your-own-brain zombie army has been defeated!

Fireworks are going off all over my neighborhood!

Joe the Vice President!

Raisinhead McCain!

Maybe it'll allow him to keep his furnace off a few more days!

BTW, I originally thought this thread was gonna be about bringing Gingrich back for 2012.

Either that or her and McCain's head impaled atop a 40 foot stake, but I'll settle for the interview.

And here I thought it was the Holy Spirit fuckin' around again.

Sheeit, I feel so good I think I'll turn the furnace on for the winter!

Sarah Wouldntwannabeya!

What I'd like to know is why is Jebus waving a six foot long round worm around?
