Reading Around A Bit

Did Obama attempt to fool us with his speech? - from the always insightful Pundita.

The Examiner looks at Lawyers and candidates gone wild - with campaign cash, that is.

Some thoughts on Bejing and the Olympics from Jules.

So, just to be clear, all this screaming and crying and nashing of teeth over Reverend Wright is because he condemned and chastised America.

So... when a conservative choir at a Presidential summit sings "Why should God Bless America?" to the tune of "God Bless America", does that mean conservatives are just as guilty?

Or is this another case of IOKIYAR?

LLama you should change your name to 'savoir faire'. Yes, I can certainly see where a song that admits America's sins and asks God to forgive and repair is *just exactly* like "Goddamn America".

Hey,

Don't know if you've heard but Senator Obama's staff is having a $10 per entry NCAA tournament pool.

Another reason he is unfit for office. Not only is gambling banned in the bible it's against the law.

"--- Or is this another case of IOKIYAR? ---"

Hmmm... sounds like a Zifnab-ism --- has Islamallama been outted as the former Zifnab...?:

Indeed, Ziffy is unable to tell to the difference between a shrill condemnation, and a call for Repentance.

Incidentally, I find it quite beautiful and moving.

seek it appears that there is validity that young LameLLama may well be our old pal Ziffy. That would be pretty sad.

Willie, I've known for some time that IslamMoe is Zifnab. I thought we discussed that a few months back. Anyway, he is Zifnab the Texas Longhorn.

"Zifnab the Texas Longhorn."

Dont be so sure there Temp. I like holding onto my fantasy that LLameLLamma is a coed who secretly dreams of being a Coyote Ugly dancer.

You mean Zifnab the Texas short horn, don't you, Temp? Zifnab, who is a major player in the cattle business. A big bull shipper from Texas.

[templar knight]

"You mean Zifnab the Texas short horn.."

Why yes, I do, Fred.

"A big bull shipper from Texas."

Damn right he is.

"I like holding on to my fantasy...."

Let it go, Willie, that fantasy is a nightmare. A short horned nightmare, but a nightmare nonetheless.

I only brought up the Zifnab connection because I did not want Willie to be misled by false dreams of a buxom coed liberal, when he is more likely a pimply faced kid wearing those red-tinted Buddy Holly eyeglasses, Birkenstocks and ratty-looking "Hollister" or "American Eagle Outfitters" T-shirts two sizes too small that he tries to use to impress the girlies with, but likely only brings him their secret ridicule as it showcases his budding manmaries he has started to acquire in his last year of grad school.

That and his bad B.O. he gets from long days of shipping bulls throughout the land.

Forgive me Willie, if I have shattered your dream and left you bereft of your short-horned nightmare.... ;)
