Antimatter Spork, yeah. The tv commercial reminded me of the LBJ Daisy A-bomb commercial as well

Stephanie Miller, daughter of Bill Miller, who was Barry Goldwater’s running mate (1964) just said the samething on her radio show.

She and the mooks also bought up many points that have been brought up here . . . I wonder if she (they) are reading Pandagon!? !

Bitter Scribe, “This American Life” just re-aired the special they did on the first black mayor of Chicago! I wondered why that sounded SO familiar to me!

Epton was a shlub nobody Republican former state legislator, one expected to fill out the space next to the (R) on the ballot. But when Washington got the Democratic nomination for mayor, Ed Vrdolyak and the other hardcore white Democratic racists (or those willing to ride the support of the hardcore racists) rallied around Epton as the last white hope.

By all accounts, Epton was a decent guy, but he was seduced by the prospect of being mayor, even by a fluke. He allowed himself to be used by the racist wing, to the extent of using the tagline, “Epton for mayor…before it’s too late.”

He barely lost. People who appeal to racial fears tend to win more often than they lose in this country.

Mike

People (even politicians) are complex - neither all good, nor all bad. ?

I’m gonna save this. I know it’ll come in handy (often).

Prolly on Dec 3rd when Imus comes back and you-all want to make him out to be the worst thing that ever happened again.

Yes. Let’s by all means compare Imus to U.S. presidents, especially those who lived before racism and sexism were seen as MORALLY WRONG.

He was on disability, she just lost her job because he required so much care and they are the working poor to boot. She’s not even sure how she’s going to pay for the cremation.

Call me out of touch, but I think terrorists and bombing shopping malls is the furthest thing from her mind right now.

I wonder if Tom will chip into the collection my high chool class is taking to help her pay for the funeral, after all she should be paying attention to something more important like a possible threat to a shopping mall. Right Tom?!

Call me out of touch, but I think terrorists and bombing shopping malls is the furthest thing from her mind right now.

She’d do an ad for SCHIP in a second (and a few other things) but I really think she has enough burdens right now without having some republican attack her . . .

It’s interesting that Tancredo is proud to be from Denver, but was actually elected in the suburbs of Denver and some connected rural area. Denver proper is not completely backassward and instead chose to be represented by Diana DeGette.

I’m Tom Tancredo and I say all issues pale in comparison to the fact that Islamic Jihadists are here and plotting our destruction.

Not all OTHER issues. All issues. Awesome.
