If Cain drops out, which campaign do you think will be first to snatch up Mark Block?

I put tolerating the existence of Ted Kennedy as one of those things from past generations I don’t understand, like racism.

Someone just needs to go to Obama and say, “I tried playing the saxophone and wasn’t very good at it, you tried being president…”

Maybe Obama should promise to take president lessons three times a week.

Does the Constitution say anything about the president being alive? I really could go for another Coolidge term.

I don’t like politicians who think they’re better than us. Politicians should always be apologizing for pestering people who do real work

I don’t know what Newt’s chances would be in the general election, but he would be a fun nominee for all involved.

So we can’t get into space anymore. Airlines are going bankrupt, so soon we won’t be able to fly. Gas prices and regulations will probably eventually keep us from driving. I don’t like horses.

Buttercup is very advanced for her age at kazoo usage.

  1. “I don’t like politicians who think they’re better than us.”
    There are two kinds of “better than you”. One comes from the insecurity of feeling inferior necessitating an outward arrogance. The second comes from feeling “I’m OK, you are OK”. The second type are often hated by those that think “I’m not OK” and they vote for the first.

  2. “I put tolerating the existence of Ted Kennedy as one of those things from past generations I don’t understand, like racism.”

    Apparently, Ted Kennedy fans are people who felt: “Well, I’m a drunken rapist who’s killed a girl and left her at the bottom of a river, too – finally someone who represents me!”

  3. Oh, what sad times are these when passing Russkies can say nyet at will to American astronauts.

    My pop worked on the Apollo project at IBM. As I watched the Apollo liftoffs as a six-year old, I didn’t know he was directly involved. I only found out from his best friend after my dad passed away.

    I can show you the place on the launch vehicles where circuit boards desiged by his team were ultimately installed. I have a couple of those test circuit boards. I can tell you some of the unique challenges that his team faced. For exmple, a decision was made to use magnesium instead of iron for heat sinks in order to save weight. This wouldn’t be so much a prob if the coolant were water/glycol; however, liquid oxygen was used for cooling. Magnesium is porous, and oxygen molocules are small enough to seep through magnesium. The entire project went that way.

    We currently spend $19 bil each year for NASA. We could have nixed the peeing away of a handful of stimulus projects and doubled NASA’s budget. But what’s the use? NASA would spend it making Muslims proud of their — mostly derivative — discoveries.

    Mebbe we got one discovery from Muslims: the concept of zero. Because that’s exactly what we’ve got.

  4. Neither would I- but that’s the only guy from Massachusetts I’d consider voting for… oh wait, he’s from Vermont… So I guess there’s nobody from Massachusetts I’d consider voting for.

  5. On second thought “Silent Cal” should be the Republican nominee:

    1. He’s dead so there is little chance of him saying something stupid between now and next November.

    2. He’s “Silent Cal” so the media won’t think it’s odd that he doesn’t answer their leading and gotcha questions.

    3. He was actually the small government conservative everyone is actually looking for.
