Jayro being the buddy, I take it? :cool:


Let's just say, through certain connections, that I have arranged for Mr. Roddick to be waking up next to the severed head of a domesticated farm animal.

Let's just say that Mr. Zinn came to me on my daughters wedding day and asked me to help him with a problem.... :cool:

[Stud83]

Nah, Masha is not gonna date Roddick, no need to worry abt that. Yurik doesn't like this guy, so he has no chance.

CNN international - special report on European identity crisis

[Sapphire]

CNN international - special report on European identity crisisWe don't get CNN International here in Hicksvi. . . er, I mean, Gainesville. :( Only I think CNN switches to International for an hour at noon or something; that's nice.

No wonder Bush won Florida...:rolleyes: :p

[Sapphire]

No wonder Bush won Florida...:rolleyes: :pYeah, sorry about that, I did my best to help the hapless donkeys. :o I found Dick Cheney's appearance/speech at the Gainesville Harley Davidson shop (no, it really did happen) most intellectually stimulating. Ok, I lied, I never made it past the line in; I wouldn't sign the oath of loyalty or whatever. However, I would've signed it if he were wearing leather chaps . . . I'd've thrown my bra at him if they'd been assless. . .


By the way, I watched Frontline (PBS) for the first time the other day and again tonight, and it was really great both times. It was kind of shocking to get current events info, without BS political spin one way or another (insofar as that's possible). It was actually documentary. I thought that genre was dead on TV. Anyway, thumbs up . . .

[Stud83]

As far as news are concerned, I only watch Anderson Cooper's show from time to time and try get the day's biggest stories from the Daily Show w/Jon Stewart.
And I know it's a little off-top but do you think Hillary should try to go for presidency in '08? At this point I think she's the best candidate.

[StrikerCW]

John McCain.

[Teso Dos Bichos]

Either him or a Hannity/Coulter dream duo. :cool:

"Hoooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

"Hoooooooooooooooooooooooo!" :eek: I just threw up a little bit.

The problem with Hilary (and I know little about her ACTUAL politics) is that she's been such a whipping boy of the right, that there are alot of people (swing voters) that would never vote for her, even if they might otherwise vote democrat in this particular election. She'll be "swift-boated" like you've never before seen -- and for some reason, our people fall for that sh!t from both sides and on both sides. I think it would be bad for the dems if they ran Hilary for that reason. Then again, her support from dem voters is quite solid, and she would get alot of the centrist woman's vote, and there is an anti-Repub sentiment out there (but that will probably be gone after the 2006 elections). She'd have a chance, I think she'd be good in office, and who wouldn't love to see a woman win it; but ultimately she's got so much political baggage already, it might be a disaster. Whoever they run, it's got to be someone with balls (figurative) and a spine.

I predict that the Republicans will run a mod-mod-moderate. After all the, um, "excitement" of the Bush white house, they need someone that can reconnect with Americans. Kind of like the quiet night at home with a video and a pizza, after a night of partying and puking. After the drama of Nixon/Ford, Americans elected Jimmy Carter, who was the meekest president in living memory (I DO love him, by the way; especially now, the man is like a superhero). And, they need to get back to their fundemental ideological identity as a party: small government. Even though I'm a flaming (FLAMING!) leftist, I could easily accept a Republican who was a true conservative in terms of economic and foreign affairs (and social affairs -- conservative in the sense that they minimally get involved, not in the sense that they want to legislate American life to fit their view of "normal"). I miss the good ole days with Repubs cutting taxes and money to health and education and Dems screaming about that, and our scandals involved BJs and how to spell "potato" -- Now I look at the stuff we're arguing about, and I'm thinking how did we get HERE?

[Stud83]

And some wouldn't vote for her because of her gender. Oh well. But really if the please-wake-me-up-when-he's-done-talking Gore almost won the election and the botox-happy I'm-too-scared-to-give-a-straight-answer-to-any-question Kerry got very close to winning, I think Hilary with all of her issues has a good shot. Especially considering that there is no clear choice from Republicans.
McCain will be 73 by the time the President's elections take place - sorry, but he's too old for the job.

Having the Democrats run Hillary might be a good idea, but she'd essentially be the polar opposite of Bush. She would be swift-boated, and be incredibly divisive, but people would forget that if she actually got results and wasn't hypocratic about most if not all policies (how's that perfect democracy working out for ya in Palestine, Mr Bush?).

Good post, and I agree with a lot of it. Disclaimer: I'm also a flaming leftist, though I vote Democrat not because I like them, but because I dislike them less than the Republicans. (What? Neave is back? Where'd I leave those brass knuckles... ;)) If Bush's numbers continue to drop, and his domestic policies continue to stagnate, they'll have little choice but to run someone closer to the center.

Jimmy Carter has to have led one of the top post-presidential lives in American history. Clinton and Bush I aren't doing too badly themselves, to be fair though.

I was thinking of having a Politics thread in here, for people who want to discuss this kind of stuff but don't want to deal with the cliques, mouthbreathing, and general idiocy of the BigSoccer Politics forum. (Not a criticism of Coach, the mod there, who does a great job with what he has.)
