People drink Raki, Turkish liqueur flavoured with aniseed, as they watch the camels from the hills surrounding the arena during the annual camel-wrestling tournament in the western Turkish town of Selcuk January 20, 2008. Camel wrestling is a popular and spectacular event in the Aegean region of Turkey, and this is one of the biggest annual camel wrestlings held with around hundred camels watched by thousands of enthusiasts. The bull camel are usually long-haired cross breed reared for their aggression. REUTERS/Fatih Saribas (TURKEY)
well… With Ob and McC it’s a cross between watching paint dry and wondering if a 2 ton truck will come thru the wall as the paint dries. Or, the tension of the past couple of days (to say nothing of the ads back and forth!) has exacerbated their dislike of one another.
LOL If you are not revved up (are you?) Michelle has a vid just for you. Warning, you may have the same reaction to her choice of clothing (not to criticise a woman’s wardrobe) that I did… I hid both my arms and tried, at the same time, somehow, to cover my large veins.. I feared she would jump out of the screen and prep me for a pic line, hook me up to a drip of sucrose and soma, so I’d fall back in line. LOL as if they care.
I think it is too easy to say Drink! for every “uh” or stammer on the Ob side, but far be it from me to stand between anyone and their libation or poison… For McC there is a certain look he gets when challenged, where I always think he might growl. Nothing too bestial, sort of a small growl. I might tip back a drink if I catch sight of some of those.
May no one win! My guess is that Ob has the advantage tonight, but it is just a guess.
^^^^
May no one win!
Well, we’ve already lost, that’s for sure.
“Calming the Fearful Mind: A Zen Response to Terrorism.”
Ha ha ha! I just posted YouTubes of humming alpacas at the end of the last thread, before seeing this! Camels in the zeitgeist! Call homeland security!
(I saw some last weekend, and their humming noises cracked me up.)
Alpacas!
Very goofy hairdos. Oh yeah!
Robert Fisk: Six years in Guantanamo
Earlier today I was imagining Iraqis, Pakistanis, and Afghanis watching the debate tonight. Whatever happens, it’ll be interesting to see global press reaction tomorrow.
I agree with John Cole
They won’t, of course, and if Obama does win after the donks enable Wall Street he’s going to be confronted with the Republican Revolution 2.0 in 2010. And this one will be worse, further to the right and full of even more fundie xtians.
oh, thank goodness there won’t be any noise!
I wouldn’t want anything to wake us up.
He’s already out of the hospital according to the NYT.
IB out of Moderation… sorry for the delay!
great links…
….
People are going to lose “their credits”? All your school courses are belong to us.

Cole is wrong. I heard Nancy say flatly the Democrats bear NO RESPONSIBILITY, at all, for anything.
Whatever, Obamalama. Get on with it. Are you in favour of it or not?
McCain says he hasn’t been feeling too great for awhile . . .
Not the winningest opener, under the circumstances!
11 – Oh yea, I forgot. After all, isn’t Paulson Catholic, so all sins MUST be forgiven.
Or something …
McCain says he hasn’t been feeling too great for awhile . . .
The best part of that is when the tumor growing out of his neck raised it self up and declared, “I personally feel great!”.
Excesses and greed in Wall Street and Washington, DC
That could be a drink line, tonight.
14 minutes in, and I’m already feeling the effects of Acute Platitude Poisoning.
15 – Snort!
Evils of earmarking, now!
That nutball eugenicist Coburn being one of his “good friends” is reason alone for McCain to not be elected, on top of being the real-world version of Captain Queeg.
A computer in every pot.
Excesses and greed in Wall Street
I think McC said teh Wall Street.
15. The best part of that is when the tumor growing out of his neck raised it self up and declared, “I personally feel great!”.
rofl…you’re bad. 🙂
22. I second that. 🙂
Ha! McCain says he didn’t win Miss Congeniality in Washington??!!
Somebody’s unconscious is a little loosely tethered tonight.
you’re bad.
That’s why the ladies love me!
Headline tomorrow: Major US Businesses Flee for Ireland
“my friends” Drink!!
Careful! Obama claims Coburn himself. Several times. Likes to point him out by name, along with Lugar as “my friend”.
ew.
24 – Maybe he’s thinking about how much he likes his “good friend Rudy.
mccain’s temperature is going up just a bit. temper temper.
27 – good reason for HIM to not be elected as well.
So many reasons.
Is Obama wearing eyeliner? I really shouldn’t be watching this on high def … I can see every cancerous growth that Rudy is sprouting, and Obama’s makeup is already running. Lehrer looks like one of those dolls you make out of an old apple.
McSmiley McC has Obamalama rattled and defensive.
30. Lehrer looks like one of those dolls you make out of an old apple.
Stop that! lol
I don’t know how long I have to go before a pee break.
I can’t wait until McCain starts rotating the marbles in his hand.
:: faces Milwaukee, blows kisses ::
I suppose I ought to go into the other room for the visual component. But there’s something to be said for enduring these things via audio only.
whoever said Ob was heading for defensive… I think so too.
Edge back from the Ledge!!
“We fixed it and we killed it and Sarah Palin field-dressed it.”
OMG …. Lehrer asked a real question!
hmm
and Obama’s makeup is already running.
thanks for that tidbit. I should check the newer TV in the kitchen.. (tho not hidef)
It’s the rotating walnuts in his cheeks and jaw that typically alarm me.
Did Obama just throw green energy under the Wall Street Bailout Bus?
“Tom”? Whoops. And there’s Coburn.
See? he luvs Coburn!
36 – LOL
35 – but wait, haven’t they been telling us all week all calm and pretzledental he is?!?!
LOL … a spending freeze on everything but defense, veterans affairs and entitlements?!?!?
That’s the whole fucking budget!
We’re not gonna get anywhere without cutting defense.
How, way to go Obama, blame the Iraqis for our problems! Fucker.
Rule the country?
mccain just stated government funds go to terrorists. isnt that a indictable offense?
38 – blinking and sweating up a storm.
Lucky for him, he’s standing next to a cadaver, so at least he looks like he’s still living.
families make decisions with their doctors not the federal government.
just not the wimmins.
Miss Congeniality again!
The GOP would CRUCIFY any Democrat for breathing those words!
Shameless!
Fight, fight!
Lets just have them fight it out in the Octagon to the death. At least then it would be entertaining.
mccain is repeating miss congeniality. obama doesnt know mccains first name.
tch tch tch
46 – AIN’T it.
46 – families mean Father and his chattel? Don’t you read the bible, you harlot?!?!
McC says the Miss Congeniality line a lot. Not just here…
oooops, that should have been a
!!!
after “chattel”.
mission almost accomplished!
45
then the tic in the right cheek should hit soon, if not already… I am not noticing it on the big but old TV…
Obama – “I gave a speech against the war at some rally in Chicago when nobody had ever heard of me!”
Well, I’m convinced.
Obama – “Now lets go bomb some Pakis!”
Surges work really good after months of ethnic cleansing, but why pick nits?
getting testy.
I say go testicular! All the way! hang a No Miss Congeniality crown off the appendage!
Snap to the Stegasaurus! Never had a hearing on Afghanistan!
Half way thru!
Th-th-th-th-this is…Jim! Tell Tom to stfu!
Dear god, McCain is fucking delusional.
59 – LOL.
Johnny’s using his SCARY, BARELY CONTROLLED WHISPER voice now.
Obama – “my war is better than YOUR war!”
see, I told you he would get to killing Pakistanis.
alexander the great? WTF?
uh oh. dear prudent
“take ’em out”…how presidential.
68 – as long as he leaves rocky the racoon out of it.
52 – Didn’t know that McC has been playing with beauty queen metaphors regularly. Smells like Rove spirit, pee-yew! So taunting, like that “disrespectful” ad.
Daddy’s telling bedtime war stories now. zzzzzzzzzzzzz
i bet johnny can walk just like john wayne too. cue taps on the trumpet. get out the gold stars.
Obamalama: I’ve got a bracelet too.
McC: Oh yeah? Well I have a nose ring.
Obamalama: Have you seen my Prince Albert?
Comparing veterans’ jewelry now . . .
69 – well, duh … what do you think they are, CANADIANS?
no soldier dies in vain? what horseshit. its the black john wayne! i’m seeing double.
72, 74 – Snicker snicker!
McCain – “You’d have thought that Obama would have gone to Afghanistan, so my campaign could attack him for politicizing the war!”
Lehrer wakes up really quick when they run out of wind.
Does it bother anyone else that McCain blinks so much?
uh oh. scary iran. existential threat to israel!
oh noessss!!!!
77 – Human sacrifice is groovy, once those boys are grown.
82 – well, it’s not like they can handle any jobs or anything, considering the way that public education and college funding have been gutted.
Besides, where else would candidates get those nifty bracelets from patriotic breed mares …. ummmmm , Gold Star Mothers?!?!
This segment brought to you by AIPAC.
M: Iran is scary.
O: No, they’re REALLY scary! Arms race! Oh, and ISRAEL etc!
he should call him mahmoud like i do………………
woo hoo, ugly American mispronunciation moment!
ooops. cant say the name.
john mccain – mispronouncing historian dude.
87 – I call him “Mac”, myself. Because everybody should have Americanized names.
It’s in the Bible and the Constitution, dammit.
No precondition! Hawkmedinarrgh . . . Arhkemedinehjadf!
:: keels over in effort to pronounce with credibility ::
I’ll sit down with ANYBODY! But I NEED some preconditions!
Rubber doughnut pillows! Scented candles! Soothing music! Bugles and flags!
good one on the seal!
“I don’t even have a seal yet”.
oooooo, SNAP!
spain. ouch. touché
three inches smaller. physical proof of ferocity.
we can expect to hear from Dr Kissinger soon.
ugh. yuck.
I played spin-the-bottle with Kissinger before you were born, boy!
I don’t understand why Obama is criticizing him on the Spain thing. Meeting with South American commies is suddenly okay?
Spain is part of the Bolivarian revolution, right? Next door to Venezuela, isn’t it?
I’m so confused.
Oh, and can we stop this “wipe off the map” thing. The actual translation was something like “removed from the pages of history” or something like that.
96. He did say that he would talk to Iran without preconditions during that CNN forum last week. My head damn near exploded at the time.
Do we have to affirm them ALL? Too much work. Too much foreign aid.
99 – I think Henry was the first one to call him Miss Congeniality.
well the good news is kissinger won’t be going to spain to talk to mahmoud.
he’s liable to get arrested.
Putin likes Chavez… there’s gonna be trouble! I’m a Jet all the way!
“he’s naive!”
“he’s old and crazy!”
“tastes great”
“less filling”
98. Shimon Peres said Iran could be wiped off the map. Nobody talks about that though.
102
No chocolat complet at the Ritz in Paris for Henry!
15 yards! illegal recycling on K G B
KAY GEE BEE!
boogity boogity!
101. Kissinger wears a tiara in private. I have pics.
McCain’s tie is strobing like an old-fashioned barber pole on my TV.
I think the old guy just took us back to the Crimean War. And looked forward to a new one.
They have given me a headache, they really have.
I’m waiting for McCain to say that he visited the Duchy of Grand Fenwick.
The BBC has live commentary.
110
Actually I think he does. Really.
How’d we get from Crimea to solar energy?
110 – I bet Henry would throw John to the side if only he could get a good look at that Prince Albert.
Drill baby drill!
What did McC say? He likes loogies?
113
and he’ll have an anecdote. hes one of those travel anecdote guys.
“Back in my day, Senators walked uphill backwards in snowstorms, with only kindly negros servants to make sure we didn’t trip.”
O: I heart nuclear waste.
We can build a bridge! To exploit reserves!
Dude’s got a wicked self-sabotage gene.
911
DRINK TO BLACKOUT!
McC has a Duchy of Fenwick toe ring.
god is it over?
McC: No torture! (except for the CIA)
Everything is great, but there is a long way to go!
god is it over?
I had to dig out the chocolate-covered cookies to sustain me.
Sure you support missile defence. You don’t live in Canada where your missiles will drop on my head if you don’t get it right.
well, you finally got to see that Dole/Mondale debate you’ve always dreamed of.
wow, THIS is the best we can do?
mccain is now hallucinating.
Saint Petraeus has spoken! All rightreous faithful must follow!
132. mccain is now hallucinating.
So am I. Or did time just slip back an hour? How’d we get to Iraq again?
129 – don’t worry, most of the missiles won’t make it out of the lift stage.
That look on Lehrer’s face was priceless. I’m pretty sure he stuck some toothpicks in his eyes.
135. don’t worry, most of the missiles won’t make it out of the lift stage.
Maybe they could use some toothpicks too.
While these two assholes sabre rattle, lets take a moment to thank this man: 25 years ago today, this man saved my life. And yours.
It’s over. Thanks the flying spaghetti monster. Ramen.
Down to a smarmy, pitiful beg, there Johnny.
More alpacas humming.
