Larry David: Waiting for Nov. 4th

[…] This is like waiting for the results of a biopsy. Actually, it’s worse. Biopsies only take a few days, maybe a week at the most, and if the biopsy comes back positive, there’s still a potential cure. With this, there’s no cure. The resultis final. Like death.

Five times a day I’ll still say to someone, “I don’t know what I’m going to do if McCain wins.” Of course, the reality is I’m probably not going to do anything. What can I do? […]

There’s more at the link, and it’s definitely worth the read.

Houston Chronicle endorses Obama / Biden

The Chronicle endorses Barack Obama for president and Joe Biden for vice president of the United States

After carefully observing the Democratic and Republican nominees in drawn-out primary struggles as well as in the general campaign, including three debates, the Chronicle strongly believes that the ticket of Sens. Barack Obama and Joe Biden offers the best choice to lead the United States on a new course into the second decade of the 21st century.

Go read the entire editorial. It’s worth the time.

Adventuring Party Politics: The Campaign is Getting Ugly

GM:  OK, the bugbear attacks you.  What do you do?

OBAMA: I send one of my 672 henchmen after it.

MCCAIN:  OK, seriously.  Why does he have so many henchmen?  I’m a level 72 ranger and he’s only a level 8 paladin.

OBAMA:  Well, if you’d bought the Grassroots Organizing and Oratory/Colgate Smile proficiencies you could min max it so that you…

MCCAIN: Why is he even IN this campaign? I thought this was supposed to be a high level party.

OBAMA: Well, maybe some people got tired of the grim and squinty “Matterhorn, son of Marathon” shtick you keep doing.  Dude, could you be any less original?

MCCAIN: Oh my god, I did not leave my left nut in a tiger cage in the Tomb of Horrors to spend my Friday nights mopping up after the new kid.

OBAMA: “My friends, I am a totally unoriginal grizzled character class stereotype.  I should lead the party because I have more testicular damage than that one.”

MCCAIN: Yeah, well, you pal around with dark elves.

OBAMA: OH NO YOU DIDN’T.

There’s much more, and it’s side-splitting funny!

Health Care Reform: My Number One Issue

18 Oct

Certainly, in this time of great uncertainty in the United States, many issues are of importance to me, and indeed to us all. The poor state of our economy, and the handout of billions to the very people who made this mess, the morally bankrupt, never-ending war and threat of war, the use of fear of “the other” by our leaders to control our thoughts and actions, the loss of civil rights (such as privacy in our communications, and the right of dissent with said governmental leaders), the tenor of some politicians’ discourse, seemingly calculated to engender a firestorm of hatred against their opponents, to name but a few. I could go on, perhaps ad infinitum. Our nation is truly at a cross-roads, and where it goes from here is either on the road to recovery or to ruin, in so many ways. But one issue seems to me so obvious as to how it must go, and sometimes I feel like I am the only person who feels as I do.

Liberal spew ahead. Read more, if you dare…
