tribal rythms move me

close your eyes don’t watch me

feel the numbness over whelm you

then feel nothing

your limbs burn from the inactivity

being static hurts

why did money have to be invented?

I want to be me

if you watch I can’t

being me is hard

I’ll be your huckleberry

 

QOTE

For those of you not watching the debate.  Here is the question:

Once a woman becomes a wife, is there a secret class they are whisked away too, that teaches them to move your shit somewhere?  And when you ask where “said shit” is, they are programmed to say, “I don’t know” which leaves you cursing while you look for your “said shit”?

Because they asked me to

banging my head

trying to get off

sitting in a circle

listening to the echoes

everyone is funnny

wine is flowing

prostate is growing

feeling mellow

head is like jello

economy is tanking

party is just cranking

Pre-Debate Predictions Thread

Expectations for McCain have to be pretty low given his horrible, terrible week. Expectations for Obama, of course, are always sky high. So how does it play out?

I say Obama plays it tight. He does not want to make a mistake as the McCain campaign implodes on its own. Obama will take the high road and talk bipartisanship and “we are all Americans after all” etc, etc.

McCain knows he needs to make up ground so he may try to land a haymaker. If he pulls it off he might get a couple percentage points bounce. If he looks like an angry flailing old man, he gives away a few points.

When it is all done Allan Loudell will find some pundit to say “There was no clear winner.”

The All Knowing, All Seeing John McCain Campaign

Direct pickup from a Devil’s Tower Diary at Kos:

Barack Obama might as well go back to his suspiciously unsuspended campaign, because John McCain has already won tonight’s debate.

“McCain Wins Debate!” declares the ad which features a headshot of a smiling McCain with an American flag background. Another ad spotted by our eagle-eyed observer featured a quote from McCain campaign manager Rick Davis declaring: “McCain won the debate– hands down.”

And While You Weren’t Looking

The House has passed a $25 billion loan guarantee scheme for the Auto industry. And the Senate seems poised to agree to this too. Senator Carl Levin notes that there will be another round of these low-interest loans early next year.

A spokesman for the German car industry has this piece of magic to contribute:

“If the U.S. car industry does not resolve its structural problems, then all the subsidies in the world won’t help,” VDA’s Wissmann said.

Which is a perennial (though no less astute) observation, but as long as there are American taxpayers, why should the US car industry care?

The Irony is Amazing if you think about it….

Almost exactly 7 years later, he let it happen to our Country again.  But it wasn’t a Mushroom Cloud or a few Saudi’s with Box Cutters.  It was people in our own country, with wallets that weren’t fat enough.

“I like to tell people when the final history is written — my point is, there’s a strong will for democracy.” The president used a similar line at a campaign event last week in Alabama and again on Tuesday in Stockton, Calif.
