I'm Calling Out Bacon 

I have it on good authoritah that this was said:

 Meh.  I won't go to the Fray even for daveto.  If you bump into him, tell him to get his Toronto ass over here.

Urq is a national treasure in search of a nation.

This authoritah was not the Quiblit search engine, which sucks ass.  Worse than the Fray proper.

In search of a nation?  Hell, I've got a nation, which is more than any Canadian can say.  Passport and birth certificate and the whole deal.

Oh, and Hillary gets the Dem nod, but she'll be swamped in the general election, on account of being a total bitch whom nobody really wants around all the time.  Duh.  This ain't rocket science.

The Hillary Problem 

Her drawbacks are obvious.  What is not so obvious is who will beat her.  Giuliani?  Surely not.  Thompson?  He's no Reagan - he's too good an actor to be taken seriously as a politician; that's for the Gophers, Bonos and Reagans of Hollywood.  McCain - yes, but he has no shot at the nomination.

So, who then?

1) You're courting Mike's wrath, dissing the search engine like that.  The comment in question was made backstage, where we professionals gossip happily as we apply our nipple tape and lipstick, safe from the probing of the search engine.

2) You're as American as mango chutney, assassinated cricket team captains and rice pudding with raisins.  You even write "authoritah", fer God's sake.

The fact that you think you think you're American is admittedly part of your charm, only because it's so palpably, enthusiastically wrong.  I suspect you're actually an exiled Japanese gentleman, living on a small boat somewhere in the Irish Sea, and that you learned english from back numbers of the Boy's Own Paper and taped broadcasts of the 1957 World Series.

3) Not that I disagree about Hillary (and it's none of my business) but dude, the Republicans aren't eactly fielding a Dream Team right now.

Pfui! You Quibble, Sir 

Either Giuliani or Thompson will beat Hillary.  Nobody in her own party will stop her, because they're all scared.  But picking out minor flaws in Giuliani or Thompson is futile.  Hillary doesn't have minor flaws.  She has cavernous gaping flaws.  And they're difficult to disguise, even if she goes on Oprah or The View.

Rudy bids fair to take the nomination, in the face of the Evangelicals.  Because Republicans are scared to death of Hillary.  Fred would be a better general election candidate, but in either case, anti-Hillary fervor will guarontee a strong GOP turnout.  Given the 50-50 divide in recent years, turnout's the thing.

"Authoritah" Is Dinstinctly American 

It comes from a South Park episode.  Several, actually.  But the original one was when Officer Barbrady deputized Cartman.  Young Eric was pedalling around on his Big Wheel, saying random things to the camera like "poor people tend to live in clusters."  And then he pulled over Stan's dad.

"Step out of the car."

Mr. Marsh resisted arrest, and Cartman was forced to use his nightstick.  "Repect mah authoritah!  You will respect mah authoritah!"

So, um, that's the brief explanation of where that comes from.  I'm also amused by the reading furriners get on American politics having just watched CNN International.

CNN International?  Is that on cable?  I get all my American politics from ESPN.com.

also 

I note you don't deny the Japanese gentleman thing.  Normally I shy from these online identity exposures, but you did call me out...

How Dare You Sir 

I am not now, nor have I ever been, remotely slant-eyed.  And just assuming I was, I live in a cave on a remote atoll, not a boat.

And I'm armed.

President Whoopi Goldberg.

I mean, come on.  We're talking about people that could actually be President.  Hillary, Rudy and Fred.  Dennis is angling for Secretary of Arcturus Relations.

Re: What are you yammering on about? 

Well, at least that's one foreign jurisdiction we'd have good relations with.

So, Kucinich met his Valkyrie-wife at Shirley Maclaine's. Where he also saw a UFO.  Everything makes sense now -- I kinda hope we are colonized, so long as the men are equally attractive.

No. 
She's a Druid. He's Chilothian on his mother's side. He loses the election and Planet Darwinlian points there magnetic destablizor at earth and it's goodbye, Greater Los Angeles Metropolitan Area!

Good thing he's Kirlusian on his dad's side.

good article

Kucinich is like Carter 

 A brilliant, lovely man who lives true christian principles who would probably not be the best choice for president when we have such a huge fucking mess to clean up.
