I think that’s it!
Holy Crap! It’s Bob Dobbs!
[QUOTE=Gena, wife of action star Chuck Norris, asking Americans to vote for Romney]
We will preserve for our children this last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness.

“Exaggeration” doesn’t seem to do this utterance justice, so I’ll go with “Stupidity.”
I would restate the premise – “If Romney is indeed the last best hope of man on earth, then we’re doomed.”
Apparently the Democrats are putting up the Sauron / Antichrist ticket.
I watched a documentary a few nights ago that might be about what Chuck Norris is referring to. Apparently, Satan and Saddam Hussein are gay lovers in Hell, and if a broad named Sheila Broflovski executes a couple farting Canadians, then Satan and Saddam will rule over Earth ushering in “a thousand years of darkness”. Maybe this is where Norris got his information?
What if you get a question wrong?
I’ve subjected that NR cover to an exhaustive battery of analysis, and have concluded that there is no measurable irony in the NR cover. Those who detect some trace elements of drollery are probably picking up on the ambient environmental irony of the Board itself, a form of trace background radiation.

Will continuing to fund the student loan program lead to a Holocaust? According to Congressman Roscoe Bartlett (R-MD), almost certainly yes.
[QUOTE=Roscoe Bartlett]
Not that it’s not a good idea to give students loans, it certainly is a good idea to give them loans. But if you can ignore the Constitution to do something good today, tomorrow you will be ignoring the Constitution to do something bad. You could. There are more people in our, in America today of German ancestry than any other [inaudible]. The Holocaust that occurred in Germany — how in the heck could that happen? And when you start down the wrong road, it can be a very slippery slope.

Argh, who was the Republican who said the Democrats knew about the storm for months and were using it as an excuse for low turnout? I was going to use it as a foil to Rush Limbaugh’s statement saying public weather analysis was pointless.
He’s a FOX news contributor I can’t remember his name though.
Is he saying we shouldn’t trust people of German ancestry? Because I have a neighbor who looks pretty damned German to me who I think needs to be turned in for the crime of being a nosy old bag of bones.
Is funny, because it immediately followed this:
In fairness, it’s not as dumb as it sounded coming out of his mouth. His (poorly expressed) point was that the 30% chance of showers that resulted in the move indoors is not all that much higher than what should have been expected months ago – for this place & time of year – when the outdoor speech was originally scheduled. If a 20% (or whatever) chance of precipitation wasn’t enough to dissuade an outdoor event two months before the speech, why is a 30% chance unacceptable two *days *before the speech?
So it’s not crazy to think that the move had an ulterior motive, though of course Krauthammer has no call to be as confident as he was, and the safest assumption would be simply to take the DNC at its word.
The concern was for the amount of rain and the likelihood of lightning. The radar I looked at yesterday projected intense cells directly over Charleston at 5 pm and more coming by in primetime.
There are/were two hurricanes moving across the Atlantic in the general direction of the Eastern seaboard, plus the remnants of Tropical Storm then Hurricane then Tropical Depression Isaac still hovering over the southeastern US. I don’t know who does the forecasting for the DNC, but we Floridians are pretty decent armchair forecasters by long necessity. I’m pretty sure that, if asked, I would have waved a big red flag over an outdoor event scheduled pretty much anywhere east of the Mississippi, given the conditions two days prior to the speech. Such a situation could not have been predicted months in advance.
It’s beyond idiotic (yes, I’m looking at you, Krauthammer) to declare the cause of the venue change to be a “fear of a sea of empty seats” unless the statement is expanded to say “fear of a sea of empty seats caused by attendees being washed away in torrential rains and struck by frequent lightning”.
