I do this thing in the magazine section of bookstores when no one’s looking…I grab a fistful of Field & Stream or Quilter’s Monthly or whatever else is handy, and put a copy over the Obama-covered magazines. I know = mature. But it’s my own little way of standing up to The Man.
(Now, of course, every frickin’ magazine has our pres-elect on the front…I’ll have to start using the cigarette ads on the back covers.)
And just when I thought the ObamaWorship couldn’t get any more sickening:
With President-elect Barack Obama set to take the oath of office to begin his first term, one New York Congressman wants to make it possible for him to one day serve a third. Representative Jose Serrano (D) has introduced a bill in the House to abolish the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, which limits presidents to two consecutive terms or ten years in office.
I thought the “give him a chance” club was supposed to be about people like me (and, apparently, Rich & Eric), who were already over him. But maybe that choir should start preaching to people like Serrano. What a moron!
p.s. I noticed there’s a lot of figurative puking going on here today. A crate of Pepto, stat!
I saw this. OMFG! These people are insane. Totally insane. Douchebag would be kind to this ass. GRRRRRRRrrr..Third term my ass. Second term my ass.
I think we should have the 29 Amendment. Literacy tests again for voting and for service in Congress — now that education is more widespread (arguably).
(curled up in corner of my cubicle) Four more years, four more years, four more years…
Floyd,
I really like the idea of folks born here having to pass the same citizen test to vote that we require of foreigners before allowing them to vote. It is truly embarrassing how ignorant of simple civics so many of our voters are. But, that just brings up too many memories of poll taxes and “tests” used by the South to keep blacks from the polls.
And, I don’t know if it would make a difference. Surprisingly Democrats and Republicans are just about identical in the population. IQs, divorce rate, income, education…
I blame Oprah.
I know the usual suspects will be in hard sellin’ mode, but I don’t see anyway he’s going to meet all these expectations. Of course, it is scary he’s backtracking on everything and no one on the left seems to be even breathing heavy. Cult of Personality indeed.
Rufus… yeah I know… too bad.
I had a history prof who used to say “We gave women the right to vote and they gave us Warren G. Harding.” He was joking — I think — though Harding was quite the ladies’ man I think.
I love that quote! I will use it. I will not use it as my own, never once attributing it to “Floyd’s history professor.”
Wankette everytime I walk into Barnes and Noble and see books about the ONE that are favorable I usually find Ann Coulter, or some other awesome critic and cover his face up. This last election at Books A Million I found a bunch of Pro Palin books and the largish coffee shop worker yelled at me. Heh.
