- What was John Boner doing there? He looked like he had something stuck up his ass and the look on his face was awful.
- I am very pleased to hear Obama is going to pursue universal health care.
- It was kinda corny but liked the line "dropping out of high school [is] not just quitting on yourself, it's quitting on your country."
- What about taxes for single people god damn it?!!! Is the cutoff line 250K for me?
- Talk is cheap, show me the money and the budget...recovery.gov is garbage. I make better tracking system every time I take a piss.
Thoughts on Jindal's response:
- It's not fair to compare him to Obama.
- He tried way-way too hard. His Meet the Press performance was much better.
- This is a big boy's league. There are limited roster spots -- friends and foes are trying to land a roster spot. You got to bring your A-game. When you intend to run for high office the line between friends and foes is murky.
- The substance of his entire speech was bullsh*t much like the substance of his Meet the Press appearance. Complaining about funding for volcano detection system is unf*cking inexcusable, especially from a Louisiana official. Might as well have said why spend money shoring up the levies in NO. What I don't understand is whether they do some thinking at all.
- I didn't think his intended audience was as wide as Obama's. Singing to the base won't cut it anymore. You're in a ditch and you're digging for like minded subscribers? I don't get it.
- Government is bad, government is bad, government is bad. Uufffff.
- Congratulation to the nation of India. Slumdog Millionaire was a fantastic movie.

Its going to be called Universal Crap. The left is offended when the goverment might listen in to a few persons calls but having their life history and total control over their heath care is not a problem. When your boss can dump your insurance because its now a goverment program and your taxes jump 10 to 20 % to pay for it you got what you wanted. T
