The Water Cooler

Damn man, I hope this doesn't get any worse. Another 700 points down today? When the hell does it end? The market isn't getting any warm fuzzy feeling from this dingbat President. If he can't f*cking LEAD he should step down now and let someone else do it. Of course, we have to insist that Cheney leave with him or we'll be in 7 wars before January. A recap of what 8 years of Republican Leadership gives us: * Multiple wars with no end in sight * An economic depression (or deep deep recession at best) * Your phone and email is all under surveillance * 2 new Pro-Life Supremes * A $10 trillion deficit * No credibility left on foreign policy... …

http://www.adn.com/opinion/story/567867.html Some quotes… * Gov. Palin's nomination clearly alters the landscape for Alaskans as we survey this race for the presidency -- but it does not overwhelm all other judgment. The election, after all is said and done, is not about Sarah Palin, and our sober view is that her running mate, Sen. John McCain, is the wrong choice for president at this critical time for our nation. ** Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee, brings far more promise to the office. In a time of grave economic crisis, he displays thoughtful analysis, enlists wise counsel and operates with a cool, steady hand. The same cannot be said of Se…

http://palinaspresident.com/ George W. Bush in lipstick. Scary stuff. I didn't think anyone could be dumber than dub-yah.

Nobody can deny he was subjected to unspeakable cruelty once captured. And he survived and impressed us all with his determination. But is that a good enough reason to put this man in the Whitehouse? Obviously I've answered that question for myself already: No! And when one looks at McCain's record in the Navy before he was shot down, it causes you to ask more serious questions about him. The entire article is here. Some select quotes below:

I can't believe the American people fall for this b.s. he keeps feeding people: Obama Lie No. 1 — I will tax just the rich. There is no such thing as a tax on just the rich. Taxes on wealthy people affect everyone. Remember, Obama defines anyone making over $90,000 a year as "rich." Many "Joe the plumber's" discovered that Obama thinks Joe's rich too. Under Obama, he won't be able to hire new employees and grow his business. Joe's not alone. Obama says he'll strip away the FICA cap at $90,000 for every worker. That means every dollar you earn over that amount, you'll pay 7 percent! Obama Lie No. 2 — I want to give a tax cut to the middle…

I'd like to change my user name to McGowan. It is a funny WSCR related Bears joke for the idiots who loved Josh McCown during the Trestman era and didn't know how to pronounce his name.

If John McCain is elected President of the United States then the French will immediately surrender to us. If Barack Obama is elected President then the French will immediately invade us. Here an interesting fact: If you add John McCain's age and Barack Obama's age together you'll get the number of times Obama usually says "uh" when answering a question. The age disparity between the two candidates in the upcoming election is significant. John McCain is 71 years old. By contrast, Barack Obama is 322 years old in dog years. Q. Why did John McCain cross the road? A. There was an Old Town Buffet on the other side. Q, Why did Barack Obama cross the road? …

The Real Obama By Thomas Sowell Critics of Senator Barack Obama make a strategic mistake when they talk about his "past associations." That just gives his many defenders in the media an opportunity to counter-attack against "guilt by association." We all have associations, whether at the office, in our neighborhood or in various recreational activities. Most of us neither know nor care what our associates believe or say about politics. Associations are very different from alliances. Allies are not just people who happen to be where you are or who happen to be doing the same things you do. You choose allies deliberately for a reason. The kind…

The Real Obama, Part II By Thomas Sowell A recent Republican campaign ad sarcastically described as Barack Obama's "one accomplishment" his supporting a bill to promote sex education in kindergarten. During an interview of a Republican spokesman, Tom Brokaw of NBC News replayed that ad and asked if that was something serious to be discussed in a presidential election campaign. It was a variation on an old theme about getting back to "the real issues," just as Brokaw's question was a variation on an increasingly widespread tendency among journalists to become a squad of Obama avengers, instead of reporters. Does it matter if …

The Real Obama, Part III By Thomas Sowell What about those "real issues" that Barack Obama's supporters in the media say we should get back to, whenever some new unsavory fact about his past comes out? Surely education is a real issue, with American school children consistently scoring below those in other countries, and children in minority communities faring worst of all. What about Senator Obama's position on this real issue? As with other issues, he has talked one way and acted the opposite way. The education situation in Obama's home base of Chicago is one of the worst in the nation for the children — and one of the best for t…

So, creative soul, I literally just found something shockingly creative, I had to pause my life and share immediately. This thing is a pixel miracle. It’s packed with color chaos, next-level thinking, and just the right amount of designer madness. Suspicious yet? Alright, go look right on this link! You’re still here? Fine. Imagine a caffeinated unicorn whipped up a site after reading memes. That’s the vibe this thing of wonder gives. So go ahead, and share the love. Because real talk, this is pure genius. Boom.
