It's fun for those who find that kind of shit fun, but the average person probably isn't that crazy. *I* might be super awesome, but I don't think everyone else is me. Some folk don't like the idea of being watched all the time. I can only assume it's because they don't have my luscious physique. >> The definition of life must not be *that* tricky, then. > > LOL.

Bush43 was precedent setting (LOL!). The rabid right is all over Obama; like bits of crap on a hairy asshole. And unlike the rabid left, the rabid right gets shit done. I'm not so scared that Obama will say the sky is red, and that a majority of citizens would take it at face value, which *was* the case with Bush43. Basically Sam, you're here, so it's lame but generally o.k., comparatively. Taking us to war on false pretenses? Not so much. >> It got a lot bigger under Bush43, but I note that fiscal >> responsibility wasn't on that "Bad Bush" list, per-se. Cool that you >> put the attempted fix on there tho.

Yet you, apparently a tea party supporter, didn't even have out of control spending on your "Bad Bush" list! But *now* it's a Bad Thing. Because it's bigger and faster. ... Didn't that sorta happen during Bush43's terms too?

I can't even remember what this was originally in reference to. D'oh. Clipping fail on our part. * * * Shout out to all my semi-homies!
