1968, when I supported third party candidate Sen. Eugene McCarthy, was a critical election year due to whether or not we wanted to continue the Vietnam War. I wasted my vote and probably helped by omission to elect Richard Nixon, like others upset with Humphrey being selected by the DNC and left the party that year (”to show THEM, nyah, nyah, nyah!”). However, I believe in hindsight that Humphrey would have stopped that war way before Nixon did and the memorial wall in Washington would now be much shorter.

I wasn’t as aware of the creeping fascism in 1968 as I worry about it now. I have cousins in Germany, and had a good German drinking buddy in college. I learned first hand from Germans how fascism crept up on the good German people. When most Germans realized they had helped to create a monster, it was too late to oppose the Nazis as martial law had been firmly put in place. I have been most upset seeing the same things, described once to me about the takeover of fascism, now happening here.

We need Barack Obama in the White House and REAL Democratic majorities in the Congress. If McCain gets to appoint even one more right-wing Supreme Court justice, say goodbye to the U.S. Constitution.

Secondly, his/her buddy apparently works for the National Health Service which could mean his/her buddy could possibly be an ill-informed janitor or a biased orderly or ambulance driver.

Thirdly, May is a republican. This most likely means if he/she actually has a friend or buddy, they most likely are republican and we all know how they will lie to defend Bush and or the failed policies or systems of our government.

When I read this comment I immediately thought of that dumb as stump troll Jenn and her comment claiming that her hubby who rides shotgun in an 18 wheeler told her it only costs $100.00 to fill up the trucks gas tank. This comment alone tells you all about the lengths these morons will go to make themselves look stupid and defend the neocon policies that are destroying our country and economy.

McAuliffe turned to no lesser an authority than Karl Rove, President George W. Bush’s long-time counselor and a hate figure for most Democrats, to burnish his arguments about electability.

An electoral map prepared by Rove’s consulting firm and leaked to the press showed Clinton beating McCain easily in November. The race with Obama as the Democratic nominee was suggested to be much tighter.

Sure Rove wants Hillary to be the Democratic nominee as she will bring every Republican out of the bushes to vote AGAINST her!

The rate at which a product expands and contracts in response to temperature is referred to as its “coefficient of expansion.” For reference, the widely accepted coefficient of expansion for gasoline is 0.00069/°F and for diesel is 0.00050/°F.

For example, “a purchase of 13.401 gallons of gasoline at 95º F could result in a total overcharge of $0.62.”

The best time to buy gas for the car is during the coolest time of the day (usually early morning), because you get more gas for the price you’ve paid. The gas is denser when it’s colder and vice versa.

I thought it was so sweet when Chris Dodd was talking about Ted Kennedy at the press conference this morning. You could tell he and Ted are very, very close friends, because he could hardly speak. So sweet. Only a true friend would react to the news a friend has a horrible cancer and could take their life.

Okay, going to bed! Nite all.
