My wife became a U.S. citizen last week. When they went through the Pledge of Allegiance, I couldn’t help think snarky thoughts at the point of “..with liberty and justice and for all” by adding “except for those bastards in Guantanamo and that Jose Padilla, and those random canadian citizens we like to kidnap”.
I hemmed and hawed over a proper response to Dug Jay, but I think I’ll just close with “I love you, man”.

Sri – congratulations to your wife.
TZ – It’s often PART of what I say, but I have a real problem with brevity, so I feel compelled to say more.
Sure hope those dratted “dashes” don’t strike-through my comment here.

Rome – why do think I put it out there? What else can an obsessive-compulsive who always has to get the “last word” in do, anyway? Now you know if I say “yank away” some people will misunderstand…lol…
Oh, OK…”Yank away”.

I see Liebs wants more war with Eye-ran, wants more domestic spying on Americans, and called Democratic candidates pussies.
Not only is this guy not a Democrat, he’s worse than at least a dozen R’s. I hope the clowns in Connbigword are happy with this shithead they voted for…

I went to see Obama speak in Minneapolis on friday with my girlfriend.
My advice: Everybody should go hear Obama speak.

My advice: Everybody should go hear Obama speak.
See, I’m not really getting the whole Dem debate where they said Hillary won. I’ve heard other people say it, and I’ve heard some of the debate. Maybe I missed the point where Hillary won it. But apparently she out-spoke Obama, which I consider a respectable feat, given that everyone I’ve spoken to who’s heard Obama in person was impressed by him.

I like boobs, monkeys, guns, and butter. If only there were a presidential candidate who fully supported these priorities.

All at the same time or as distinct and separate activities? Inquiring minds wanna know. And besides, if you don’t require them all at the same time, well, I believe the Republican Party has a whole room full of boobs speaking at their next scheduled candidate’s debate.

If the former, Andrew, you’re not going to do better than the current administration.

You mean until Hillary. But perhaps that’s too literal.

Yeah. I don’t know, it’s different between debates and speeches. Especially with so many candidates.
So often at those debates, given the 8 or so candidates, the answer someone gives is “Yeah, what he said”.
The other key, is a difference of style. Obama seems to be far less partisan in his talk. That is, he addresses Democratic issues, but he doesn’t talk about them in such a divisive way. It’s going to be interesting if he can get the nomination this way.

My vote is for separately, but I can imagine that monkeys with guns and buttered boobs would be good combinations too…

To riff on Dave Barry:
Monkeys with Guns & Buttered Boobs would be a great name for a rock band.
In other news, people worried the U.S. is too easy on immigrants can take heart.
