GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRG

United went to Chicago and beat Chicago using Chicago's ugly disgusting bullying tactics and I sang hallelujah. I'm asked, how do I separate my politics and my soccer and I say, huh?

Obama is suckbucketful. McCain is calling him (and by extension anyone who supports Obama) a traitor as I type this sentence. I expect Obama's nuanced response promptly.

Fleabus?

Fellow Crackerstanis, I knew Obama need avoid Angry-Negro Syndrome, but McCain is rallying the Confederacy without needing to scream NIGGER!, stroking the Necks of Red with the very taunts he'd use against Hillary Kerry Gore, and rube that I am, this pisses me off.

I've long abandoned hope in Obama's .06% chance of exceptionality, but lordy, his bucketsuckfulness astounds as much as frustrates. Four years to prepare for the same Rovian tactics as always, and Obama thinks nuance suddenly sells in America.

• “The insinuation from the Obama campaign that John McCain, a former prisoner of war, cheated is outrageous,” Ms. Wallace said.
• Pastor Gerson and Bill Kristol both mwahaha that John McCain outperformed Obama in the eyes of christers who were never going to vote for Obama in the first place. Jeebus in Crackerstan.
• Frank Rich notes that McCain is a shitty human. But he was tortured, so there.
• PUMAs are morons with martrydom delusions. I mean, don't vote for Obama if you weren't going to vote for HRC, don't vote for Obama because you realize the entire system is rigged, but voting for McCain because Obama isn't HRC?
• Sub-head of this Salon article reads: Busting the myths about cheap and unlimited oil being broadcast by Rush Limbaugh, Jerome Corsi and other ignoramuses. Why assume they're ignoramuses just because they speak gospel to ignoramuses, ignoramus.

What I've heard on KEXP so far is promising, but I'm old.

Eno is God. His great four are going to that silly island where options are limited.
