Methinks McCain not handling pressure of presidential politics very well
lololol. ANd if the Dow drop and other bad news didn't make you feel uncomfortable enough....per CNN, the actuarial tables predict a 1 in 5 chance that a vote for McCain would result in a Palin presidency due to McCain's advanced age.

WOWZERS! Someone actually dumber and less knowledgable than GW Bush in the White House? THat is STOOOPID!

2. There has never been a more totally insane ticket to vote for
The oozing of incompetence. The repetition of lame lies. The astounding lack of knowledge. The rehash of failed and rejected policies. The convoluted message. The bellicose saber rattling. The wild stunts.

The sheer recklessness of voting for such a ticket is beyond my scope. Thats like selling everything you own for Powerball tickets, all with the same number.


Is their campaign director David Lynch or Terry Gilliam?

4. Chuang Chou (Zhuangzi) said around 300 B.C.
Once upon a time, I, Chuang Chou, dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was Chou. Soon I awaked, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man.
...
During our dreams we do not know we are dreaming. We may even dream of interpreting a dream. Only on waking do we know it was a dream. Only after the great awakening will we realize that this is the great dream. And yet fools think they are awake, presuming to know that they are rulers or herdsmen. How dense!

5. Ooh! That's so deep!
How do we really know that our dreams are not what's real, and us sitting here typing on our computers isn't just a dream? We don't really know, but it boggles the mind.

7. I love that.
I just wonder what Chuang Chou had to say about a nightmare?
I'm serious. I'm just hating being in Palin's dream of being a ruler.
