Don't laff- Now that The Majickal Negroe has increased the mileage requirements for new cars, that might be considered a "Large, luxury vehicle" in a few years...As a lot of you know, I underwent Bariatric Surgery in Feb to combat my weight problem. It has been VERY successful, I have lost something like 110 lbs, down to 280 or so. They told me I'd prolly get down to 225-200 before I stabilised. I'm STILL gonna be a Big Boy, no matter how you shake it, & I also have good ol' Uncle Arthur (Itis) that makes trying to fold up & fit in one of thease motorised roller skates an exercise in torture. And then you have guys like Our Fearless Leader, Grumpy, who at 6'7" or 8" is even worse off tryin' to fold himself up into one of 'em...What are big, "Economy-sized" people like us gonna do ? There are lots of folks out there who greatly exceed the dimensions of the mythic 5'9", 165 lb "99th percentile" man.....Part of the reason that I hang on to The Mighty Valdez, all 8 MPG of it, is that I can drive it & not feel "crowded" or uncomfortable, I can stretch out. I've tried smaller cars, & yeah, I COULD drive one of 'em for awhile, but eventually, I'd be takin' a saw to the thing to saw a hole in the roof to stick me punkin' head thru...(grin)

Hey, I try....Gotta do what you gotta do... What gets me is how ANY & ALL criticism of His Anointedness has been deemed "Racist & Bigotted" by our illustrious lamestream media...Screw 'em...He's a politician, first & foremost, deserving of no more respect than any of the rest of 'em get. The only real media shitstorm he's faced has been the Rev. Wright business, & THAT guy is even more "racist" than I ever thought about being...Where's The Media questioning on the stimulus package that sailed thru Congress w/o so much as a "By your leave"? Or on this ridiculous "Cap'n Trade" nonsense that's gonna drive even more industry away, assuming anybody will be able to AFFORD anything after paying their light bills from here on out ? Or the Health Industry overhaul ? And all these increased/new taxes we're gonna hafta pay for all this good social engineering ? Talk about throwing a cold wet blanket on any hopes of an economic recovery...Any 1st year econ major will tell you that you DON'T increase taxes in a downturn-you CUT them, & that's about the best tonic going for a sick economy...

I will agree that Reverend Wright as well as Michelle are racists. (However I think Michelle is cured now that her husband is president) I also believe there is way, way more racism in the black community than there is in the white community.
The white suburban kid today really does seem color blind and is not even aware of the culture of racism many black families won't let go of.
I know this post sounds racist in and of itself but my point is that we all need to recognize that terms like Majickal Negroe probably are not part of the solution but neither side is innocent.

As to the rest of your post, no politician gets a free pass. The belief that he is getting one is a marketing campaign launched by his advisories. Clearly it is working. That's my opinion anyway.

Jefferson had it right, the only way a democracy can work is with a well informed electorate, and the current one has to be the most ill informed electorate since Adam. With most of the media in the hands of a few biased owners they provide the bread and circuses of the MJ memorials or Paris Hilton's latest escapades but no factual data.

As a retiree and a member of the 'aged population' that is allegedly responsible for the bulk of health care are y'all aware that we only account for 0.4% of the outlay on health care. Just another little fact that the BS artistes like to mis-inform folks about.

John Bonehead likes to natter about socialist medicine in the House, well what in hell do you think he has - and your taxes and mine pay for it.

Ya,ya,ya....but is Brittanny wearing panties?????

I'm a well informed dumb bastard, at least by the MSM standards...and I want to be informed about the important stuff. Like fuzz.

KISS, about all us cretins can comprehend at one time.

Disgusting.
I'm surprised this kind of blatant racism still exists in public
