   Heh. Funny & well done, but when the hell did Cracked become cool? Back when I was a kid, Cracked was the poorman(kid)’s Mad Magazine. The only cool thing about Cracked was John & Marie Severin’s awesome artwork…

   "… in the arms of her Creator, Booker T Washington."

   Thank you very fucking much for making me spit my elitist chai latte all over my computer screen.

   Yea, I can’t get it to play either. I guess this means that Cracked lives up to its reputation.

   Very poor behaviour, folks. John McCain was gracious in defeat, instead of feeding the hate. He did our Republic a service there, and made Obama’s job slightly easier. It was an attempt to patch and undo the damage he had done earlier; much better that than the unrepentant viciousness seen from some other conservatives.

   Mocking him for that graciousness is shameful.

   Our side won, and by a landslide. McCain showed a graciousness in defeat that we should match in victory (even though many on his side are not gracious and he certainly did some pretty sleazy stuff). Obama intends to be President for the whole nation, not just us. Let’s help him out, even if we’d rather he didn’t include the ‘other side’. This vicious partisanship has to end, for the health of our Republic.

   I agree, but that clip was still pretty hilarious.

   For those who think this is too much:

   Cry me a river.

   I literally have elderly relatives who are suffering from high blood pressure and bleeding ulcers because of the campaign of fear (robo-calls) that the Republican party conducted the last weeks of the campaign in South Florida. It was a shameless campaign by a shameless candidate who reached out to the very people who destroyed his chances in 2000. I have very little pity and less respect for him.

   I think the heckling yahoos in his audience were the best evidence of the campaign he wrought and the core of his support. As a friend put it, "It’s hard for him to make that speech after the kind of dirty campaign he oversaw."
   This clip is humorous and certainly doesn’t take anything away from what was a weak attempt to make up for the enormous evil the Republican Party kicked up.

   Pretty fucking classless to post this, Michael. Even for you.

    But all he said was:

    "I know how to blow things up."

    Are you kidding me? This is "tasteless"? Have you lived in this country in the last decade? Follow the campaign? If this mild ribbing actually upsets you then I suggest taking a breather and ask yourself if you have completely lost touch. Lighten the f-up as Joe Scar. would say…
