How many people wouldn't know whether they bought a car for their daughter -- or she bought it herself? Gimme a damned break.

13 cars and they still need a plane to get around Arizona.

That's Just What I Said

this is unrelated, but I consider it good news:
AP just reported: A federal judge on Saturday ordered Dick Cheney to preserve a wide range of the records from his time as vice president.

Hopefully he doesn't end up buying a dozen shredders to get ahead of the game.

If you have that many homes you are going to have a lot of cars, beds, dining tables, silverware,....

Yes, but Obama's car is very elitist and runs on arugula.

OT but you need a laugh:

Cease and Desist, You Old Fart!

How many people wouldn't know whether they bought a car for their daughter -- or she bought it herself? Gimme a damned break.

What's the difference? If she bought it herself, she did so with money from Mommy and Daddy. The woman is 24, has never had a job and lives entirely off her family's fortune while "aspiring to be a fashion designer." Eye fucking roll.

I'm betting that Cindy doesn't have 3000 pairs of shoes, though.

This should be brought up in contrast with the subject of Al Gore, footage of coverage of Gore's house and its size and energy consumption painting him as wealthy and elitist.

McCain jokes that $5 million is middle class, whatever that meant, has near a dozen homes and over a dozen vehicles, wealth beyond most imaginations...but then I'm forgetting he was a POW. It's just too difficult to portray a wealthy, elitist former POW, doesn't fit the narrative, never mind, stick to the script.

Keep in mind, this is a man who thinks that lettuce pickers get $50 an hour and that Americans won't do that kind of work.

Someone has to say it:

"My friends, for five and a half years, I had no car."

I realize that the economy is the focus right now, but this has to become part of the political dialog.

After watching 24/7 coverage of Wright, what I find a total abomination is that they are letting Palin's own words about prophecies and revelations and a paster who gave her a Big Thank You right after discussing the end of times and that Alaska will be one of the places of refuge for hundreds of thousands of people once hell on earth breaks out (yes, he said End of Times), I want to know why the media is blacking this out?

On Friday night, Olbermann did a piece on the witch hunting pastor who blessed Palin, but Olbermann, too, glossed over his guest addressing Palin's end of times philosophy. These are PALIN'S OWN WORDS!

PLEASE read End-Times Prophecies and More: How Electing Sarah Palin Endangers Your Life and watch all the videos to fully appreciate how far into the violent, lunatic fringe Palin's beliefs are.

Please share this post (it is very long and has many, many videos). Every voter needs to know this.

"He's opposed increases to the minimum wage -- 19 times."

Why the heck do the fundamentals of our economy need a minimum wage anyway? If they're so fundamental, they should be able to set their own price, shouldn't they?

Why the heck do the fundamentals of our economy need a minimum wage anyway? If they're so fundamental, they should be able to set their own price, shouldn't they?

And if they're female fundamentals then their price must be 40% less than that of the male fundamentals.

Who's giving McSame crap about buying Toyota?

When Detroit makes a 50 mpg car that doesn't break, they'll sell a few too.

My friends buy American cars.
I know because they tell me that they're "in the shop".

Junk.

Detroit/UAW, stop offering low cost financing. Offer me a 5 year bumper to bumper warranty and build the car so I never cash in. I double dog dare you. Your current built-in obsolescence strategy has run its course and there just aren't enough patriotic rubes to make ends meet.

In regards to boggsy and his $50.00 offer on picking lettuce in the Yuma desert...
Here's a link and commentary on the subject at Mr Sensible

Read the commentary behind the insensible remarks. Pretty amazing HOW out of touch McCain actually is.

You know, way, way, way back in the olden times (like 40 years ago), "minimum wage" meant "minimum living wage."

Back then, on a wage of $1.25/hour (the minimum), for a 30 hour week, I could do the following:

1. rent a 1-bedroom apartment in West Hollywood in a not-terrible building.

2. go out on a date for dinner once a week and pay for both of us.

3. pay all my utilities, including the phone bill, buy gas, get my car tuned up, and buy groceries for 3 good meals a day.

4. with the 30-hour week, I was able to take the time to pursue my writing, and develop my future career.

Try doing that in Los Angeles - hell! try doing it anywhere! - on the $7.50/hour minimum (and that's the California minimum wage, higher than the rest of the country) today.

That what 40 years of Republican bullshit has done to us, that we marvel at the idea of working-class people getting paid enough they can take the time to invest in their future.

And based on public vehicle-registration records, here's the score. John and Cindy McCain: 13. Barack and Michelle Obama: one. -- Newsweek

One car? *One*? How very uppity of them.

But, seriously...

One, piddling, car for 4 people, two of them children with, most likely, after school activities??? Public transportation in Chicago must be *excellent*...

Vis McCain's "baker's dozen". Now that the Newsweek has counted them for him, I expect he'll have to buy another one, pronto. For a truly superstitious person -- which, by all accounts, McCain *is* -- 13 is *not* a lucky number.

Ooops. 18:40 was me

One, piddling, car for 4 people, two of them children with, most likely, after school activities??? Public transportation in Chicago must be *excellent*...

Well, since they live in Chicago, and since Obama spent most of his time in DC, presumably walking or metro distance from the Capitol, I don't see why they'd need more than 1 car.

Yeah, but three of McCain's cars are GOLF CARTS (popular in retirement communities, Newsweek sez).

Real question - who owns the cars that chauffeur McCain & Obama around Washington (sorry, Tyro, I don't think either of them use the Metro exclusively)? Do we pay for those?

Your campaign to trash Sarah Palin is working well. Only 60,000 turned out today to see her in Florida. Or 70,000 if you believe the fire marshall. Keep up the good work.

Tonight on 60 Minutes McCain, in an interview, told the story about a woman who gave him her dead son's id tags. McCain said THAT is what being President is all about.

So, expect that if McCain wins there will be a LOT of dead soldiers, so their mothers can give a lot of tags to McCain.

John McCain doesn't know what being president is about any more than Sarah Palin knows what being V.P. is about.

At least John McCain will always have his "lucky" 13 cars.

Remember Mike K, the freakshow at the carnival is always the most popular attraction.

P O W
Poor OLD Whiteguy.

Wow, so a whole bunch of the wingnuts who were going to vote for McCain anyway are showing up to see Palin. Too bad they're losing to Obama anyway, and Palin's approvals are in the negative.

Only 60,000 turned out today to see her in Florida. Or 70,000 if you believe the fire marshall [sic].

And tomorrow that marshal will deny having even given an estimate, just like another fire marshal and the Secret Service did when McCainCo. got busted making up crowd counts and lying about them coming from officials. Gotta love Tucker Bounds' response when challenged for his bald-faced prevarications: "[Okay, maybe we're punk-ass liars, but] since day one, this campaign has been consistent that we're not going to win or lose based on crowd size but the substance of John McCain's record."

The humiliations never stop for your team, do they?

My father-in-law lives in The Villages and says it's running about 50% for Obama, which is fascinating because the place is a festering sore of Republicanism. Having visited there, I can tell you with confidence that those people would turn out in droves for Fidel Castro. Someone famous (for whatever reason) coming to God's central Florida waiting room makes a nice break from the quilting classes, model boat races and nightly line dancing in in the town square.

Mike K thanks for the link.

It's amazing how many gullible people commented on that blog. So sad to see ignorance at its best.

OK. But living the bubble can result in surprises.

Oh bruno...you read the comments at Gateway Pund-Idiot? Get a distemper shot first thing tomorrow morning.

I'd like to see how much the McCains would like living in my modest home and driving my two 15-year-old (each) vehicles. And making less money now than 10 years ago (doing the same work) as has my hubby (with expenses way up from 10 years ago). And losing the largest part of my income this year because a company went under. All while having increased medical bills and two kids in college.

Yep, it's fun alright. But I feel lucky compared to some people.
