How Christian-like of Christine O'Donnell to forgive the child molester.

Palin: Obama's 'Shuck and Jive'
Sarah, why not save time and use the "N-word?"
Link
"President Obama's shuck and jive shtick with these Benghazi lies must end," Palin wrote on Facebook.
The "shuck and jive" line also appears in the note's title and a tweet that links to her statement.
"Shuck and jive" is a racially loaded expression that has mostly disappeared from public discourse over the past half-century.
"She never ceases to amaze," said ABC's Nicolle Wallace, a former Palin aide. "It's entirely possible
that she was ignorant about the racial implications of her comments, but at this point, I'm not sure
what's more incredible - her ignorance or her eagerness to offend."
Poor Sarah - she's become the vulgar Pigboy, but with a smaller vagina.
Nobody pays any attention to her unless she says something incredibly offensive.

Bank of America Sued for Fraud
Demanding $1 billion for illegal practices
Link
The latest federal lawsuit over alleged mortgage fraud paints an unflattering picture of a doomed lender:
Executives at Countrywide Financial urged workers to churn out loans, accepted fudged applications and
tried to hide ballooning defaults.
The suit, filed Wednesday by the top federal prosecutor in Manhattan, also underscored how
BofA's purchase of Countrywide in July 2008, just before the financial crisis, backfired severely.
The prosecutor, Preet Bharara, said he was seeking more than $1 billion,
but the suit could ultimately recover much more in damages.
Don't hold your breath.
They'll drag this out until nobody's paying attention and then they'll accept
less than a dime on the dollar - I predict less than $100 million.
Funny how Bank of America stole BILLIONS
and they're getting threatened with a civil suit?
If the CEO of BofA lit a joint at a board meeting he could be f-ing jailed.
But stealing BILLIONS of dollars opens merely them up to a potential lawsuit.
Romney says "Corporations are people, my friend,"
but funny how those "people" never EVER have to go to jail.

Subject: Obama's odds
Hey Bart, I agree that this election is turning into a real nail-biter, and sometimes I get very anxious.
However, are you familiar with fivethirtyeight.com? It's a highly respected polls analysis site.
They give Obama a 70.3% chance of winning, a 4.3% gain from October 15.
Those strike me as pretty good odds. Check it out. It might make you feel better.

‘Moderate Mitt’: Neocon Trojan Horse
by Robert Parry
Link
Romney’s peculiar sense of geography – thinking Iran was some landlocked country that needed Syria as a
“route to the sea” – may have raised some eyebrows over Romney’s lack of basic knowledge, but another
part of the same answer, referring to the civil war in Syria as “an opportunity,” should have raised more alarm.
Though Romney’s goal in Monday’s debate was to downplay his warlike neoconservative stands, his reference
to the Syrian chaos as “an opportunity” suggests that his more moderate rhetoric is just another ploy to deceive
voters and win the election, not a real abandonment of neocon strategies.
In that sense, the new “moderate Mitt” is less a sign of a neocon retreat from his earlier bellicosity than a
Trojan Horse to be wheeled onto the White House grounds on Jan. 20, 2013, so the neocons can pour forth
from its hollowed-out belly and regain full control of U.S. foreign policy.
So, the neocons don’t really mind that Romney has suddenly abandoned many of their cherished positions,
such as extending the Afghan War beyond 2014 and returning U.S. troops to Iraq. The neocons understand
the political need for Romney to calm independent voters who fear that he may be another George W. Bush.

The World wants Obama to Win
Religious insanity dulls American minds
Link
People surveyed in 21 countries overwhelmingly favor Obama over Thurston. What's behind that landslide?
Obama and Romney are locked in a tight race at home, but overseas, the vote isn't even close. A new poll
found that residents of 21 foreign countries overwhelmingly support Obama, with an average of 50 percent
hoping he wins and only 9 percent favoring Romney. France is Obama's biggest booster — at 72 percent.
The only country where Romney enjoyed greater support than Obama?
F-ing Pakistan.

Bart,
I was thinking about this young Republican dumbass, Small, who was arrested for throwing away
Democratic voter registrations. At first, Cuccinelli, the VA AG said that he wasn't going to investigate,
but has since had a change of mind.
A couple of things come to mind, they're either going to throw Small to the wolves
or remind him that it's the 10th anniversary of Paul Wellstone riding in a small plane.

Trump's "bombshell" is a dud
Link
Donald Trump was making some noise recently about some sort of “announcement” he planned to
make that would somehow hurt President Barack Obama’s reelection efforts. Today, it turned out to be
some nonsense related to Trump’s pet theory that Obama was secretly not a very good student in college.
Meanwhile, attention-attorney Gloria Allred promised some juicy revelations that would damage Romney.
It is apparently some old testimony from Romney in his friend’s divorce trial. What will it reveal?
Probably nothing that will cause Romney to lose.
We’re in fake-out October Surprise season, and political reporters eat that shit with a big spoon.
It would be so magical if some unforeseen event suddenly “shook up” an election in its closing weeks,
or else everyone is basically stuck writing the same boring stories about “ground games” until Tuesday night.

Bart, I'm gonna say that's a 1971 or '72 Buick Electra.

That there is a Buick Electra 225, about a 1972 or 1973 model (before the DOT-mandated
ugly-ass 5 MPH bumpers). In the 'hood, it was known as the "deuce and a quarter."
You might say it's called that because that's how many tons it weighs, but you'd be wrong
(it was heavier than that). GM called it that because that's how long the thing was in inches.
It was the biggest and heaviest production car ever made in Detroit,
and I think the thing got something like 6 miles per gallon.

Mourdock Stands By Rape Comment
'God wants women raped' a tough sell in Blue states
Link
Indiana Republican Senate candidate Richard Mourdock said Wednesday that he is standing by
his statement that when a woman becomes pregnant during a rape “that’s something God intended.”
He says some people have twisted the meaning of his comment.
“I spoke from my heart. And speaking from my heart, speaking from the deepest level of my faith,
I would not apologize. I would be less than faithful if I said anything other than life is precious,
I believe it’s a gift from God,” Mourdock said
I have a question:
If somone snuck up behind Mourdock and kicked his sexist ass down a flight of stairs,
would that mean God gave Mourdock a compound fracture of the femur ...as a gift?
I think that's what he's saying...
So, Richard, IF someone kicks your sexist ass down a flight of stairs,
I suggest you lie back and enjoy it - His will be done.

Subject: Obamacare and small businesses
Bart,
The other day Willard pulled out the zombie lie about small businesses not hiring, or dropping
medical coverage, because of Obamacare. What a load of crap! I have been running a small
business for five years. I couldn't afford health insurance for my employees.
When Obamacare was passed, and started subsidizing the premiums for small businesses,
I was suddenly able to afford to give my employees not only health insurance, but good health
insurance. Obamacare has done two things for my insurance premiums. First, since it allows
small businesses to compete in the major insurance exchanges that are set up for large businesses,
it enables me to get good insurance at a much lower cost. Second, because of the size of my
business, I get a federal tax credit of 45%--that's right, almost half--of these premiums.
The end result is that I can offer much better insurance than I expected, and it costs me
about 1/4 as much as it used to. That's what Obamacare has done for small business.
