No. I'm serious.

Donald Trump is calling for a revolution.

Can we as a nation just hire some people to pay attention to Trump so everyone else can get on with their lives?


Make it capital punishment and you can have Death Row inmates as his audience.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

I didn't literally mean him losing the popular, just that in the situation, people would start whining, and it did happen. We still have a lot of votes to count, and of course, the official electoral count, so there's still a ways to go. My spread was 310, 51% for Obama.

BWAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA! The blond Fox lady asked if this was a sign that negative campaigning works because being "above board" and positive didn't pay dividends for Romney. Self awareness is in short supply 'round Fox way...


HOLY SHIT! And now they're bemoaning the money spent by Obama...mind boggling.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

I almost hope things get worse so we change this insane system.

Again, the West Coast hasn't finished counting yet.

Let's face it Farn, this is gonna go for a while longer. Let them yell it out and when Obama wins the popular vote, let them stand there and have nothing to say.
