> [@pbbth](#): > > Some of my relatives are in the same boat. My uncle has spent almost $1,000 on freeze dried foods from Costco and bought about 5 guns to get ready for the Obamaclypse and seems offended that I think his behavior is goddamned ridiculous. “Survivalists” seem to lean extreme right and have their own view that “shits going to hit the fan” any day now and Obama is the Antichrist. Whenever I read a post on their boards (I won’t name which one out of respect of the rules), it makes me laugh out loud. I agree that your uncle is a nutcase. 😉 ---

> [@Leaper](#): > > And I hear Karl Rove was… a tad upset by Fox News calling Ohio for Obama when it did? I didn’t see it, but the descriptions sound hilarious. It was great, Faux News was in complete shambles last night. Karl Rove didn’t believe Mittens lost Ohio. So they sent Megyn Kelly (yet another blonde Faux News host primarily there as set decoration) to the “decision center” to see if they called Ohio too early. Megyn wobbled and teetered on high heels that she couldn’t walk on down a hallway to a back room that wasn’t meant to be on camera. Megyn’s headset dropped out as she was walking so she couldn’t hear Karl or the other hosts. In fact, there was no way for Rove to talk directly to the “decision center.” The production values were pathetic, worse than the Home Shopping Network. The “decision center,” eight guys in front of computers, said, “We are 99.99% confident Romney lost Ohio.” After a commercial break, Rove started to walk back his comments saying he was just sounding a “cautionary note” because so many numbers weren’t in yet. The best part was when somebody off camera joked that Karl was using a “slow computer” to get his numbers. The other highlight was Charles Krauthammer calling Romney a “liberal from the northeast” which is Faux-speak for sub-human jerk. ---

Oh this one’s a hoot: [What was God thinking???](http://davidteis.wordpress.com/2012/11/08/40/) The intro: > [@](#): > > …I asked God repeatedly to allow Mitt Romney to become president. I told God I wanted our nation to be run by a Capitalist not a Communist. I prayed for God to allow Mitt Romney to be president because I know that Barack Obama promotes partial birth abortion and that he also promotes the homosexual agenda. I do not want my grandchildren to grow up in a nation that promotes the murder of unborn children and promotes a life style that God calls an abomination. No matter how much I pled with God He allowed a majority of the American people to vote for a man, that rejects Bible values, promotes Communist ideals, and endorses openly the homosexual agenda! > > Why did God allow this to happen?!.. Three guesses why. ---

Vows not to go to family functions that have Democrats present. And then he’s going to make buttons: > [@](#): > > Buttons. Boy, you can have a lot of fun with this. I plan to make up a bunch of buttons, and wear them around town, sayings like “Democrats are Communist Pigs,” or “Welfare moochers steal from hard-working Americans,” “Only Nazis support Seat Belt laws” or “No Smoking Ban: Nanny-Staters go Fuck Yourselves.” I hope the progressive movement can recover from the stunning blow of being shunned by this guy. ---
