Akuma, in International Politics and Law (undergrad classes) we talk about international norms and the spirit of the law. It's mostly not enforceable unless it applies to a definition but it could make for bad public image.

I am writing about some of these violations in between the more important internet postings. It just makes it that much funnier.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

Indeed, and I still like McCain even after all this. I understand that sometimes money gets mishandled during political races, but McCain isn't the kind of guy who would abuse it.  But that part of the act is pretty damn funny in light of current circumstances.

I never really liked Palin from Day 1.  I still think (and McCain now probably thinks) he should have gone with Lieberman, hell or even Romney or Giuliani.  Romney probably would have been a liability, but not like Palin.

 



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Ok, (breathing heavy) I've stopped laughing, (pant) oh god...

 

Ok, yeah, I still have a lot of respect for McCain.  I hope that his REAL politics can help heal the republican party after the devastating loss in a few days (devastating whether or not he or Obama wins, because the congress is going to be heavily democrat).

There were several hundred Republicans that would have complimented McCain's history of moderatism and taken independents and moderates.

Ramesh Ponnuru asks the question. He refers to Noam Scheiber's devastating piece on Palin's Nixonian hatred of educated elites. But Ponnuru wants more evidence. Here's one way to look at the question: how has Palin brought up her own kids? Her eldest son is a high-school drop-out. Her eldest daughter has had, so far as one can tell from press reports, very uneven attendance in high school, and no plans for college. Her other daughters seem to spend a lot of time traveling the country with their mom at tax-payers' expense. I've seen them at several rallies with the Palins this fall. Are they not in school?

The least one can say is that none of her children seems to have been brought up thinking that college is something to aspire to. And her new son-in-law just dropped out of high school as well.

Sarah Palin's own record of several colleges over several years - ending with a degree in sports journalism - tells you a lot. So does her interest in policing the Wasilla library as mayor and using the town's money for a sports stadium. She cut funding for the town museum and opposed building a new library. So does her amazing ignorance about the constitution. She is, in my judgment, the final rebuke to what Buckley tried to do for conservatism. She is burying it as an intellectual tradition and returning it to the pre-Buckley era. With the eager encouragement of a now Buckley-free National Review. Yes, the karma is overpowering. This is a tragedy worthy of Shakespeare. - Source

Hocky moms, this is how they do it?

 



I knew she took her sweet ass time with college (just like me), but I didn't know she was raising a family of teen pregnant drop-outs. And I hadn't even been wondering why they're touring across the country with her instead of going to school now.


And about the McCain-Feingold thing, the part that really pisses me off is the RNC even paid for clothes for Trig. Poor kid has to be a prop and part of this mess. It's gonna be weird when he grows up and goes on the internet and finds out who his real mommy is.... OOOOOH SNAP.

Two snaps up!

 



Man, I will never forget that thread about the Palin Trig baby rumor. That was probably the most fun I've ever had on the internet.

And it's still not over yet. The jury is still out on that.
