"They lie about marijuana. Tell you pot-smoking makes you unmotivated. Lie! When you're high, you can do everything you normally do, just as well. You just realize that it's not worth the fucking effort"

People are idiots, provolone particularly so. This country has to have an "other" to hate on and sneer at so they can compare their lives to and feel good about themselves. Because if they look around amongst their own kind, they're bound to see someone who's better off than they are. They can't be happy with the grass in their own yard. It's really pathetic when you think about it.

Everyone is desperately trying to get in a last word, but in the end, most peoples' minds have been made up with no chance of being swayed for a long time now. I just find that it's not worth the energy to read the comments and get upset. I know what I am going to do tomorrow and most importantly why. NOW I will go read about Modonna's roid crotch.

RIP Grandma.

Man! A day before! A day before!

Rest in peace.

I'm covered in BEEEEES!

Remember how "willfully ignorant" people were saying Palin made someone pay for a rape kit?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Sarah Palin was mayor of Wasilla, the city billed sexual assault victims and their insurance companies for the cost of rape kits and forensic examinations.

Palin had been in office for four years when the practice of charging rape victims got the attention of state lawmakers in 2000, who passed a bill to stop the practice.

Former Democratic Rep. Eric Croft, who sponsored that bill, said he was disappointed that simply asking the Wasilla police department to stop didn't work. Croft said he doubts she was unaware of the practice.

Maria Comella, a McCain-Palin campaign spokeswoman, said Palin "does not believe, nor has she ever believed, that rape victims should have to pay for an evidence-gathering test." To suggest otherwise, she said, is a "misrepresentation of her commitment to supporting victims and bringing violent criminals to justice."

The story continues:

As governor, Palin has worked in a variety of ways to tackle the problem of sexual assault and rape, including making domestic violence a priority of her administration, Comella said. Alaska routinely has the nation's highest rate of sexual assault.

Lawmakers became involved in 2000 when reports began coming in that police departments were charging sexual assault victims for the kits and the forensic exams, which cost from $300 to $1,200 at the time. The kit, a package of sample containers, swabs and other medical supplies, is used to collect evidence from women after they are attacked.

Then-Gov. Tony Knowles said Thursday that Wasilla was unique in the state in charging rape victims for the cost of doing the law enforcement necessary for solving the crime.

The bill passed the Legislature over the objections of Wasilla police chief Charlie Fannon, who said it would require the city to come up with more money to cover the costs of buying the rape kits and doing the exams.

Love you QC- But it serves us right looking at these threads the day before an election. I am planning on staying away for a week after too!

Ain't that the truth. Remember how "willfully ignorant" people were saying Palin made someone pay for a rape kit? Good times, good times. Anyways here's to spending half a billion dollars to win an election. Which of course isn't the side that got manipulated in this election.

And on another note if you really want to help the poor one would probably do more good with that 600million then 4 years as president. Amazing. He should go on tour every year doing this.

How very sad. I lost one of my grandmothers in 1989, the other just last year, and I will always miss them. You don't ever outgrow needing your Nana (or Granny, or in my case, Maw Maw).

I am so over all this completely unsubstantiated shit being hurled at Obama... it's called Google, people, use it before you post your "well, he did THIS" rants.

If nothing else, this campaign has shown how easily manipulated the American public is, and it is damn sad. It's like a giant game of Telephone with absolutely no fact-checking before the rumors are passed on down the line.

Submitted by putas : "My friend talks about the Bilderberg group and thinks the financial elite basically decide who will win (i.e. the elections are more or less rigged)"

Sadly, I believe this is most likely true. If you look at a small-stakes, local election, you will find corruption. If you look at a small town police force, you will find corruption. If you work for a living, you know that the lazy weasel ass-kisser gets better treatment from the boss than you, the honest, diligent worker. Why would a major election or the FBI be any different? If anything, the stakes are much higher, so corruption is more likely. If you've ever slipped the bouncer a $50 to get into that club, if you've ever bought your kid's teacher a really nice Christmas present, you already know the system works that way.

Zomay, I could careless. Not a fan of either. When this recession settles in and hits the black community particularly hard, Obama (led by the Sharpton/Jacksons in a power grab) will be called an uncle tom because there will be nothing he could do. Anyways thats what I look forward to.

Smart/intellectual people apply their trade in real life(no not college), anyone have an example. I haven't even heard about any cases he tried. Is there any real life accomplishment for Barack or is there just a void between Harvard and speech giving?

Obama is funny. Gets the Ryan sex scandal which gave him his senate seat. Got Michigan and Florida out of the primaries which gave him the DNC nomination. Was losing in the polls then the financial market collapses which may give him the Presidency. This guy has had more shit fall into his lap than a guy getting ridden by Paris. He never had to work for anything past college, just play the role of an empty suit. Thats why he votes present, and attends Rev. Wrights church...because he's a calculating person. No internet bubble and FED inventing wealth like they did in the 90's. This country is going DOWN.

And NO Obama more people don't have to go to college enough fucking people go. But RIP to his g-ma. One less "racist" in the world...according to her grandson. Sad when sacrifice goes unloved. P.S. Spread YOUR wealth to your illegal alien aunt in Boston Obama!!!

Grandmothers are awesome. I like what someone said about him gaining an angel just when he needed it.

I'm sure she'll be there in her own way.

RIP

I can't wait to watch his inauguration and his Grand-ma-ma will be watching up from the Big White House in the sky!

We are all so lucky the Democrats found this man to lead us after the past eight years. He's smart, intellectual and philosophical- three things humanity needs most right now.

No, I don't actually 'believe' he's the Second Coming, but he is definitely the return of what our Presidential position has required for years.

I dont like either canidate, so I'm no political crazy.

But I do have a question, why did Obama seal his birth records when he was in Hawaii?

Shady much?
**************************************************

He never did that to my knowledge. You can find them online in full view. I looked it up myself because I thought it was odd.

Thanks Mrs. Kravitz. My original post was written for his grandmother. But after reading some of the insane comments, I felt like saying something about how over this show is. Can't wait for the weekend.

:)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I'll be so glad when this election is over so all the bat shit crazies who watch FOX news and read half a book will go back under the rock from which they formed. Opinions are like assholes honey, you aren't smart just because you form one.

As for Obama being the antichrist, they said the same thing about FDR, JFK, Nixon (might be something to that one), Clinton, and every other President. Let it go already!

That said, RIP to Obama's grandmother.

I read on a website (ok, it was a comment on Lindsay Lohan's Blog, but I digress) that JESUS is the AntiChrist. Make of that what you will...

"Just when I think you are the shallowest man alive you manage to drain a little more out of the pool."

P.S Dee-Lite,
She died last night...he announced it this afternoon after campaign stops in Jacksonville, where the snary comments I cited were made....What a guy...maybe you forgot to check the time???Can you tell time???But, I bet yer gonna be right there to vote for him, huh?

Hey Dee-lite,
FYI, I read alot, including both of his books; That is how I judge him, by his own words, voting record, and actions....by the way he made more than just the speech at three...guess you were still in bed this am...Both candidates were stumping from early this morn all the way throughout the day.
He constantly cites this woman as his "rock" yet had no problem throwing her under the bus as a "typical white person" in one of his speeches, and now, he barely did better by her than he did his mom when she was dying. He even acknowledges that he didn'tgo see her before she died, so you would think that he could have spared the woman who actually raised him more than a couple of hours. He was allover the news talking about suspending his campaign for three days before he went for that visit, then only gave her those two hours!!!WTF!!! BUt I'm the douchebag?! Whatever...it's morons like you that are going to help him destroy this country.
This is a man who changes his views constantly, votes for late term abortion then against helping babies who survive, who says he wants clean energy then votes against it, who says he wants to join us together then drives wedges...who even said he did not feel he would be experienced enough to run for President, then on a heady rush of the power that could be decided to run anyway. Now this country will pay a higher price than we have with Bush, simply because idiots like you are voting for a fad, false hope, undescribed change, and like one of the other posters wrote...flying unicorns. Good luck bro...keep on smokin!

There's a reason to believe that Obama is the Antichrist...

The loss of a good person is more widely felt and the grief more intense. To shape a young person and to give them hope, especially to see beyond the barriers of placed before them, is a gift. Part of her will walk that stage election night.

-----------------------

That is really beautiful...

Love Shatner:
"I am sorry to hear of his loss, but is this grandma the same "typical white person" that Barack threw under the bus a few months ago in his campaign?

Hopefully she forgave him for that ridiculous comment when they saw each other for the last time."

Umm...what does this have to do with her death?
And you clearly took his damn statement out of context. He didn't mean anything disrespectful by it, the way you're making it seem.

Why would he throw the woman who helped raise him under the bus, and almost the last family member left in a parent or guardian form.

The hell...........

On another note, I am sorry about his loss. But he will make her very proud when he becomes president.

((((((OBAMA '08))))))

May she RIP, my condolences and vote goes out to Obama.

RIP grandma.... now she gets a front row seat in heaven to see her grandson get elected president.
