Abandoned
Comments are closed. New site here.
This Is the New Blog
The old blog is here. It has been abandoned because it was cumbersome and clunky. This new blog is clunky in a less cumbersome way and should hopefully load faster and crash less.
I’m going to move some of the old posts here (and maybe eventually them all), but the old site is still searchable by the Google search bar somewhere on the left sidebar.
Thanks again to Basil for all his help.
That is all for now.
UPDATE:
Exporting from MT is not working so well. It starts with the oldest posts and puts them into a text file and falls apart well before it gets to modern day. So, if you want today’s posts, you still have to go here. Tomorrow’s posts and all those thereafter will be right here.
UPDATE 2:
I forgot to check what the blog looked like in IE and Chrome and realized some script was broken on the left sidebar. I think it’s fixed now.
Finance Talk
Since there isn’t really that much either party knows to do to make sure the economy becomes stable, this contest is probably going to come down to which candidate can BS the best. What McCain really needs to do is just say right-sounding stuff and say it confidently so as to keep people from panicking. Some suggestions:
“We can shore up capital by mortgaging stocks.”
“A strong fiscal finance is all that’s needed to for profitable currency.”
“We’ll stabilize the economy by reversing the polarity of the tachyon particles.”
“All we need to remember is hibbilty gibber flibble floo.”
Well, that’s all the economic advice I have. Can we talk about guns again?
Yay! NRA Ads
New NRA ads:
Take that, you little America-hating fascist!
I don’t trust anyone who doesn’t understand why the 2nd Amendment is important because then that person doesn’t have a good understanding of liberty in general. Someone who thinks banning guns for people’s “own good” is an okay idea should never be given any power. Yeah, Obama says he won’t do anything against guns now, but someone who lived in Chicago so long and never once spoke against those draconian laws has no love of freedom. Also, people who don’t like guns are sissies, and so many heroes did not shed blood on foreign soil so this country can be run by a sissy.
Something to keep in mind.

Don’t Freak Out and Increase the Government
Are you getting as afraid as me that we’re going to end up making some sort of new New Deal thing and bloat the government even more? If you’ve been reading IMAO since the beginning, you may remember I was quite adamantly opposed to the original New Deal. I think a lot of my fears ended coming true there, and I’m not going to let that happen again.
