Yep, and Obama didn't even thank W in his acceptance speech.

Get out your stock charts and bring up NYT. Nobody reads the New York Times anymore.

proof Democratic congress to work with here? I can't find anythign saying so, but the Dems really thumped the Repubs tonight. A president who's party also controls congress is usually a bad thing. They can do whatever they want now, good for the country or not. I prefer to have one party in...

WILL YOU GUYS ALL JUST GO SHOOT YOURSELVES IN THE HEAD AND GET THE FUCK OFF MY BOARD?!?!?! Just kidding, but quit being such drama queens. Nothing's changing. Your lives will be just as miserable for the next for years as they were for the last. At least you can complain that your being held...

I was worried about the Bradley effect too, but it didn't happen. The Bradley effect was the reason I thought that Obama would barely squeak by, but he thumped McCain. Thumped him good.

Don's skip over Bush. He ran aggresive campaigns at election time, but he is just as much responsible for the fracturing of the Republican base as is McCain, maybe even more so. Their failure to send viable candidates to the presidential races has fractured their base, but not as near as much as...

They're all going having fits over how the country will be ruined, just like they did when Clinton was elected. It makes people feel very important when they rant about how their lives are being destroyed by politicians in DC. The truth is, their lives are unaffected by it. My favorite rant...

Not in for any surprises dumbass. It doesn't matter who's in the white house, it has no effect on you. Learn how to spell before you go around calling other people stupid, ya friggin' dumbass.

These are two good candidates, even though I'm sure most Republicans would disagree with me. Neither one has done anything spectacular or horrendous during their careers. The last election was a different story. I had to vote for John Kerry, a candidate that I did not approve of, because I...

How do you guys do that? Anyway, I'm sure it was funny, I just had no idea who any of the people or sites were that you were referring to.

San Diego is a red city, even though California is a blue state. I had a friend who was a high level staffer on Bill Clinton's re-election campaign before he moved out here to San Diego. He moved here a little before the Bush/Kerry election. So I asked him if he was working on the Kerry campaign...

A black plastic watch with date and time is fine for me. Sometimes I pick up a watch at target that looks kind of like a cross between a bracelet and a watch. I only wear them on the weekends though.

So you're a published writer. I plead guilty to jealousy. Some of your critics here seem to be very creative writers themselves and have picked your work apart quite thoroughly. Those kind of people intimidate me, but I still want to try my hand at writing someday anyway. Some famous dude who...

Until they go to the govt with their hands out begging for $700B because they lost all their money gambling on financial crap products that they invented themselves. They don't want the govt to back off then.

BWAHAHAHAHA! As I type this, there's a neighbor moving out of my building because he can't afford San Diego. He's arguing with the landlord over how much he has to pay for the damage to the window and the wall. That's a good thing about living here in San Diego, schmucks who can't afford it get...

Interesting comments I found while searching for the poverty level: This reminded me of standards for confining prisoners. Prisons are required by law to provide television for inmates. So can the descendants of prisoners who were confined before the invention of television sue for human...

Here's the poverty levels from the govt for the 48 states, AK and HI are higher. Family of 1: 10,400 2: 14,000 3: 17,600 4: 21,200 Myself being a family of one would barely be able to pay my rent on 10,400 a year of income, even if I only made 20K a year I would stil be living on PBJ...

I had some neighbors that lived in a duplex across from my apartment building. The family "matriarch" was a tattoed up 20-something who squirted out a new baby every year. She lived with a couple of other relatives in addition to her husband. the husband was often unemployed, and sometimes...

I used to look for contests too. I wish there was something like the old US Trading Championships like Norm Zadeh used to run. There used to be a site called finalbell.com that had a stock contest, I wonder if that's still going.

Abraham Lincoln was a Republican, the first elected as president. I think, but am not sure, that the Whigs were absorbed into the Republican party around that time.
