It’s a little rough. I didn’t have a lot of time to work on it last weekend. Yeah. I was going to post it either way. Equally appropriate with either outcome.

I’m going to tune out the news for a while, I think. Watch cartoons and read novels for a bit. Work on becoming an immigrant. I’ll tune back in when the buyer’s remorse starts to set in.

Do you think the disillusion will start before inauguration, or will we have to wait for him to get in and screw something up first?

It’s gonna be interesting to see what happens in Iraq and Afghaniberg after Obama abandons them.

On the brights side, heroin prices and the cost of white slaves will no-doubt fall.

This Prez-elect is going to embarrass the Democrat Party worse than Carter ever did – in or out of office. He already has – they just won’t see it for a while. If ever.

…And I’m tired of this election. It went on too long, and ended badly. Enough.

Comment from S. Weasel

OH HOLY FUCKING SHIT ON A STICK!

According to Classic Fucking FM the Republicans lost because Sarah Palin is a retard. That is the THIRD news segment that concentrated on Palin. The most charitable quoted a Republican (I forget who) saying she “didn’t hurt the ticket that much because the VP slot isn’t all that important.”


Comment from apotheosis
Time: November 5, 2008, 11:22 am

Most of the “republicans” dumping on Palin are doing damage control for being the same ones who put McCain at the head of the ticket.

The last guy to point the finger takes all the blame, right?

Palin was the only reason I bothered voting the McCain ticket in the first place. And I know I’m not alone there.


Comment from S. Weasel

Allen: After our next four years in the barrel, I believe we’ll all be able to teach rodeo clown school.

Weez: You got it right; had Palin not been on the ticket, I believe more ppl besides me would have considered voting for Obama just out of spite. You don’t fight collectivism by being a conciliatory centrist. I think the only time McCain should have ever reached across the aisle is to grab Reid by the nuts, swing him around his head a few times, slam him to the carpet, and proceed to place-kick that melon he thinks with through the goalposts.

But that’s just me.

Palin sure as hell didn’t lose this for McCain. Mc. lost 20% of Bush’s votes. That’s on him, not her. Hell, I was gonna write my own name in until he picked her. Sadly, however, I just don’t see her coming back from this in 4 years. Maybe 8, but I doubt it. But- her style of Republicanism will be the wave of the future if we want to win.

I just spent long seconds googling US visa prices.

Non-immigrant visas are $132 or thereabouts as of about Oct 2008.

I couldn’t find the cost of a permanent or immigrant visa. Maybe we only give them to Vietnam refugees – and for free.

Hey! We Morons are a mixed bag of folks – kind of a Morons Without Borders! Surely someone out there could tell us what a immigrant or permanent visa costs?

Morons Without Borders

That might call for an emblem.

Comment from S. Weasel
Time: November 5, 2008, 2:34 pm

It’s an excellent question, Gibby. I suppose a lot of them are coming as asylum-seekers. I don’t know if they have the same kind of visa track.

That’s just the FIRST visa. I’ve got another one in three months, and another one two years after that, and then naturalisation (I suppose I might as well spell it the British way, since it’s an application for British citizenship).

Here’s another weird thing. As part of a crack-down — or at least the illusion of a crack-down — on immigration, it looks like they’re going to strong arm people to naturalise. You either have to become a citizen, give a good reason why you can’t (for example, if you would lose citizenship in your birth country), or leave.

Wouldn’t you think they’d rather have you stay a visa-holder, as that gives them more control over your life?

BCR: I love ’em to bits, but brace yourself for a tsunami of junk mail. They’ll be calling you up for money, too. If they did less fundraising, I’d give them more money.

A couple of times a year, though, they have a gun giveaway sweepstakes. It’s a huge envelope with GUNS, GUNS, GUNS, GUNS, GUNS! Printed on the outside, with lots of pictures of…GUNS! And inside you get a page of stickers of all sorts of GUNS! and you get to pick out which six you want and put ’em on your sweepstakes entry sheet.

Uncle B and I always do this together. I work through it really hard, so that I don’t have too many different kinds of ammo to buy (when I win, natch), plus some kind of Eurogun to keep B happy. A Sig or something.

But I checked Boston and Hartford, and I can get an appointment in Connecticut Saturday morning. Some friends are having a do for me Saturday night in Newport, but I should be able to nip down there and back again.

Then I can assemble my documents next week, when Uncle B’s package arrives, and overnight it to an expediter. Who, for a mere $300 more, can supposedly get a turnaround of a few days on the visa.

Comment from Steamboat McGoo

Gibby! I was just reminiscing that Crichton was the guy who first convinced me that GW was utter crap. it was those videos he did years ago. I recall that his message was so powerful that the poor audio/video and his relaxed style (almost awkward) didn’t distract me from the message.

I will always thank him for opening my eyes.

And for Andromeda Strain.
And Jurassic Park
And countless others…


Comment from Gibby Haynes

Unfortunately, I was still a true believer back then. And despite having read Binary, Terminal Man, Jurassic Park and The Lost World, and very much enjoyed all of them, I seem to recall giving some poor chap on the intertubes some grief for advocating Crichton’s stance on Global Warming. Something along the lines of, ‘Yeah, I’m really going to take seriously what some guy who wrote a book about dinosaurs has to say.’

God, what an obnoxious shit I was. And this was only around 4 years ago.

A blonde is watching the news with her husband when the newscaster says, “Six Brazilian men died in a skydiving accident today.”

The blonde starts crying to her husband, sobbing “That’s horrible.”

Confused, he says, “Yes dear, it is sad, but they were skydiving, and there is that risk involved.”

After a few minutes, the blonde, still sobbing, says, “How many is a Brazilian?”

Now that’s funny. Admit it.
