mccain was speaking in code to people who think that "feckless" means "dickless".

If we're going to have a Republican candidate, it's better that we have Establishment Romneys and "Fag" McQuains. I have a neighbor who is all "angry white guy with a gun" that he is awfully quiet about Romney. I hear that Massachusetts makes people gay.
Don't a lot of those scary white people hate establishment types?

Oklahoma still has the best license plates. There's this one:

which is a classic, but there's also this one now, apparently:

Very similar to this horrible thing that we have in Ohio:

Now we're about to get this, which is the license plate equivalent of those car with 50 bumper stickers:

I would gladly take that new Ohio plate over this:

That's the new default plate for Georgia, where we've gone from not being as tacky as all our neighbors to out-tackying them fiftyfold.

They actually held a design contest, which was voted on by the public. And yes, an old lady designed the winner.

Not to derail the conversation from license plates, but this via my wife's friend:
The woman that cleans my house and watches the kids just got her US citizenship yesterday. It's been a LONG time coming, years and years she has been trying. She was (until yesterday!) a legal resident, pays her taxes, etc, etc. She was finally able to take the test last week, then told it would be 3 months until she was sworn in. Then all of a sudden they told her to come weds. She went and there were almost 4000 people being sworn in, given voter registrations cards, a video message from Obama, then a song with video of the country about our country and thanking the troops who have died for our freedom. Apparently there wasn't a dry eye in the house. Just in time to vote...
Just in time to vote...

first comment "super 8 film wasn't introduced until 1965, before that it was 8mm. the Kenyan flag shown in the video wasn't introduced until 1963... so next time make up a better story and get a better production designer... or at least do better research, this took all of 5 minutes for me to find"
