I was wrong about the succession of Palin to the Senate. Apparently people in Alaska got REALLY PISSED that Murkowski appointed his daughter in 2002, and several laws and initiatives were passed since then to keep a governor from having broad senate appointment powers. http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/11/13/pa...cement-depends/ From huffingtonpost.com:

Yeah...I heard Valerie Jarrett ruled it out.

This might be the worst CE thread, ever.

Obama will resign from the Senate, effective this Sunday. Biden has said he won't resign until he is sworn in as VP. I guess he wants to be there to be part of the official Congressional electoral vote counting and/or screw his successor out of any seniority over the newly elected senators in the new Congress. What the fuck?

Is the media the reason McCain lost? Sheppard Smith AIN'T HAVIN' NONE OF THAT SHIT.

My friends, the surge is working, my friends.

There's someone else we've forgotten that Obama decided to distance himself from in the primaries, and who bares some of the blame for our current financial mess. I'll give you a hint: he once said, "The era of big government is over," and his wife was Obama's competition for the Democratic nomination.

I think the main reason McCain lost was because of the economy. The biggest issues/problems in the economy are the meltdown of the financial services sector and the reduction in the consumer purchasing power of the middle and lower class. Those are not problems that were caused by big government.

Please explain how excessive deregulation of the financial sector, skewing tax policy to help the top earners, and failing to enfore consumer protection laws are "huge government policies."

More "we lost because we weren't conservative enough" nonsense.

Maybe due to the election being called for Obama before voting ended in Alaska. HEY, GUESS WHAT, EVERYBODY!!!!! More than 90,000 votes remain uncounted in Alaska.

Good show tonight, but it felt like a huge chunk of the episode was missing, such as why Cameron and Derek went to Mexico.

Embryonic stem cells have greater potential, and I'm still waiting for someone to convince me that a 5-7 day old embryo grown in a laboratory is a human being.

More Paliny Goodness... http://www.adn.com/sarah-palin/story/584193.html Honestly, I don't think anyone over the age of 20 should be surprised a Republican Administration could fuck something up, but whatever. +5 points for realizing she is in a party of dimwits, and -20 points for not realizing she's one of the dimwits.

Wow, you put it in bold and STILL misunderstood it.

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/10/washington/10military.html Frankly, I'm a little shocked that the Bush Administration would do something as obvious as use covert ops to fight terrorists. Usually their standard operating procedures has been to (a) announce we're going months ahead of time, and (b) mount a massive, easily trackable, D-Day style invasion force against organizations that thrive on being sneaky and blending in.

I'd just be worried little kids heard him. Because I'm sure "Morning Joe" ranks really high in the 2-8 year old demographic.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081110/ap_on_go_pr_wh/obama Senator Obama voted to confirm Gates as Sec. of Defense, and Gates is extremely qualified. In addtion to his leadership of the CIA, he served on the Iraq Study Group (a.k.a. the Baker-Hamilton Commision), has a Ph.D. in Russian/Soviet history, and has-of course- spent the last 2 years as Sec. of Defense. The executive order thing is to be expected. Pres. Bush had no problem using executive orders to enact several controversial polices regarding abortion, stem cell research, and oil drilling.

If it turns out anything like the War on Drugs, then in 10 years I expect Christmas to be more widely available and a hell of a lot cheaper on my wallet. Amen and may God bless us, one and all.

Or that he's not even from the 'hood? That reminds me...has anyone heard anything from Chris Rock or Chuck D since the election?

Most people couldn't give two shits about economic ideology. They want someone to try something that's going to work. Fiscal conservatism didn't prevent the Great Depression, and Keynesian micro-management didn't prevent 1970s stagflation. There's no perfect economic ideology. And most people neither know nor care enough about the particulars of economic policy to be concerned with anything but the results: Are unemployment, inflation, taxes, and interest rates down? Can we borrow money when we need it? Are jobs being created? Results are what people care about, not ideology. I get pissed off when people worship at the alter of Reaganomics, because it NEVER worked the way it was supposed to. People credit supply-side theory instead of deficit spending for pumping up the GNP, and it was an interest rate hike that ended stagflation. Reagan never proposed anything that would reduce the size of government, and his tax cuts lowered revenues, not increased them (which is why taxes were raised in 1983). Reagan didn't do what he said he was doing, but the results he got were enough to satisfy most people. People need to quit rewriting history, because the result is you convince ignorant or gullible people that didn't work the first time should be tried again.
