Oh yeah, the Obama speech was really, really good.

yeah this is a genuinely ballsy speech. fuck it im in love with this guy.

...OR DID HE?????

What do you get when you fall in love?
A guy with a pin to burst your bubble
That's what you get for all your trouble.
I'll never fall in love again.
I'll never fall in love again.

Meanwhile, in Iraq, McCain mixes up Sunni and Shiite -- corrected by Joe Leiberman at his side.

Obama's Lies [John Derbyshire]

Not so much lies as a sort of slippery sleight-of-mouth. I'm starting to really dislike Obama.

"Reverend Wright and other African-Americans of his generation … came of age in the late fifties and early sixties, a time when segregation was still the law of the land."

Segregation was not "the law of the land" in the 1950s. It was the law in a minority of states.

morbius why do you even pay attention to politics. seems like an incredible waste of time and energy if you hate all the people with a chance

Anger over welfare and affirmative action helped forge the Reagan Coalition. Politicians routinely exploited fears of crime for their own electoral ends.

try and find anybody running for president, democrat or republican, who would say this

Kucinich? Sharpton? w/out tossing a "welfare, big problem" bone in with it?

who r u again, gff?

I'm not sure I've ever seen Morbs explain what he's for; only who he's against.

Way to ignore my pronouns. Also, does being on your list have anything to do with the real world?

Fun With Names [John Derbyshire]

I have enjoyed much harmless merriment from contemplating the names of African politicians. There's been a bit of a lull recently, since the passing of such as the Rev. Canaan Banana and Oginga Odinga (father of the loser in December's contested Kenyan election).

Now a new generation of can't-help-but-smile African onomastic pioneers has taken the stage. Let's give a hearty welcome to Tokyo Sexwale, Enoch Godongwana, and Playfair Morule.

^^^^ this is in the middle of all the reactions to obama's speech

fuck the corner

john derbyshire doesn't like a popular black person? gtfo!

xps ooh gettin hot in herre

Product Placement [John Derbyshire]

In the dead air while they were waiting for Obama to show up, FNC did an interview with someone form the Heritage Foundation. I don't know if they shipped the guy over to a Fox Studio or if Heritage has their own TV room; but on the bookshelf just behind the interviewee's left ear I saw the spine of Liberal Fascism. (Which you should buy through NRO! We get a cut!)

Maybe he meant legitimate candidates, Morbs.

No mention of Abdelaziz Bouteflika?

yeah im sure lyndon larouche could say a lot of stuff too

morbius do you understand how democracies work?

haha, all props to Dennis and Al but no way could thay have delivered a speech a speech like this that wouldn't be dismissed out of hand, let alone be picked up and appraised by every major news outlet xxxpost to morbs

Sounds like O bagged just about every undecided older mom type going.

xpost McCain hahahaha, he just made himself every dumb jock who ever went to my high school.

What did McCain say?

RH, I meant I generally share Veedle's view of the bread & circuses of our collapsing republic. And yeah, list reminds me who's a waste of time; very utilitarian.

This democracy now works like Family Feud. SURVEY SAID...!

Dumb jocks at Suzy's high school talked about rival sects of Islam?

so was james van der beek a dumb jock at suzy's high school

morbz yearning for the iron fist of a dictator here

in what sense should democracy not work like family feud?

No, fuck off, dumb jocks in my HS used Jewish guys as human cribsheets.

hey morbs for real you should hang out on the listserv for the left business observer (u know, doug henwood's magazine). it's a lot of more radical-than-thou nyc soljas and they all hate obama, no falling for any neoliberal messiahs for them, no sir. dennis perrin posts a lot! you'd love it.

that's http://www.leftbusinessobserver.com/lbo-talk.html

in what sense should democracy not work like family feud?

In the sense that you vote before you use your Pundit Calculus to figure out who the salt of the earth, the unwashed masses -- you know, morons -- might like.

no, gff. I prefer to try to save souls jerk off here. But srsly, I DON'T HATE OBAMA.

I'm gonna keep a running tally of how many posts you make while you're "working" and too busy to read the speech. this is like #8 on just this thread.

Xpost - #9, #10 ....

Courage and grit. This nicely states why I think Obama won't fall prey to the same problems that killed the campaigns of, say, John Kerry. He's a different kind of candidate.

(Mind you, I still think he'll lose the GE, but I'll be proud to have him as the nominee).

interesting take on the speech: http://www.theroot.com/id/45336

finally, Obama has proxy tears to fight Hillary's.
