It's your ridiculous generalization of how you were at a particular time, for a limited period, to being applicable to some huge enormous segment of the population. Maybe it's because those people are so noticeable, and others are really not as exciting to look at and aren't putting themselves out there to be looked at. Or your arguing style drives me completely nuts.

maybe his friends live in apartments where they can't have a cat, so they try to compensate. I mean except for the ones who are holding boatloads of money of course.

That's pretty facile, since "good job" can mean good pay, interesting job, or both. And if it's not both, there's a choice to make between paying for shit like housing and paying for shit like MOTOKRZRs.*

congratulations. you've now joined slave as people who realize that my posts cut the bullshit out of most of what's posted here, and then get wrapped into something to make them confusing to the dullards.

Single? Nice looking?

Agreed. But not as facile as your comment, which pretends the ten or so posts preceding that quick observation don't offer any context.

If you're going to buy a MOTOKRZR, I suggest the champagne/gold finished special edition model. It has the most prestige. I'm not kidding, they actually make one. Just google MOTOKRZR. I guess it's the Cristal of flip phones.

Given the limited supply, you could probably trade it for 3 shares of Berkshire-Hathaway.

As awesome as that would be, I'm happy L'il Ty did not respond with that.

I'm trying to decipher:

So if Clinton is pres., she has enough southern cred. that she could choose obama, rather than edwards? But if Obama is nominee, he almost has to take Edwards since (a) needs some south and (b) ain't no way hillary is going to stand by that man.

No, I think the argument against putting the two of them on a ticket together, regardless of which is running for Prez, is that the 2nd needs to be a southerner (not Edwards, who whines too much).

But I see Hillary saying, I could use Obama's appeal and humanity as my second, and he'd help me in some of those key Mid-western states. Obama would look at Hillary and say: she drives hom my relative inexperience, adds little in the way of personality, and doesn't get me any easily identifiable swing voters, plus, she hurts me among the Hillary hating closet (or not so closet) mysogenists out there. It's not like Obama is a half-wit rube who needs an adult like Cheney around to supervise him.

OK, my predictions for Saturday:

McCain wins South Carolina, but Hucklebee takes enough Squirrel-Eater votes to pick up several delegates from the hills. No one else gets delegates.

Romney takes Nevada and most of its delegates. McCain and Paul each get delegates.

Ron Paul beats Rudy in Nevada and the two Fruitcakes are neck-and-neck (within 1%) battling for fifth place in South Carolina. But thanks to Nevada, Paul now has three to four times the number of delegates Rudy has.

Hillary squeaks past Obama in Nevada. Both attempt to spin it as a win.

I think I did OK here.

I think yes. Especially Hillary/Obama - the idea being that he's promising but not yet experienced, so VP is just right. Obama/Clinton - it seems less likely to me.

There's something to this logic, and I am well aware that political enemies make friends overnight, but something about the thought of Obama deciding to join as Hillary's VP just turns my stomach.

Obama/Hillary or the other way will never happen. Here's the problem: the white males that run the Dem party are racist, and they realize in their deepest heart that they can't see people voting for a woman and a black man. Ultimately, because your party is short sighted and cowardly, you won't run that ticket, even if it were the best two candidates.

I bet you're wishing you'd held off on the Byrd pic until this post. Timing is everything.

He won't and though they might have offered it before, they can't now. He'd overshadow her. He's by far the most charismatic of the bunch and running with her would create exactly the sickening "Oh, he's selling out" reaction in his supporters I think you were describing. He can't be the agent of change in the camp of an amoral political operator.

Obama's only 46. He gets the whole enchilada someday soon enough. The only problem is he probably needs to get out of the Senate and shoot for Governor of Illinois in the interim. The longer he stays in the Senate the more risk of tarnishing his outsider image.

If McCain wins the election, he's a one term President and Obama probably wins in 2012.

okay. he plays out this election. then starts running for Governor. Wins in 2010, beating the machine Dem incumbent. Takes office 1/2011, then in May, 2011 announces he'll run against President McCain?
