You make me nervous

BlueCat — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 00:45:58 GMT

Thilly. Let's not get too full of ourselves and jinx anything. Am knocking wood.

Among my college friends was

BlueCat — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 00:43:58 GMT

"Negro" friend Kenny who had no sense of rhythm and couldn't dance without looking like a complete dork. He was aces on the Rugby team, though. No problem thinking through his own problems but what's that about "in his own way"? I'm assuming he did it in the usual way.

It wouldn't surprise me

if the campaign gets swamped with interest in tickets, so does something like broadcast the speech on Jumbotrons up and down the Platte, so many more can "be there."

There's also going to be a hell of a fireworks show, which beats the traditional balloon drop any day.

Really?

ekean — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 00:29:02 GMT

I did not know that, but with that in mind it is gonna be amazing. I may just have to consider drastic action if I dont get my hands on a ticket.

Commonly mispelled countries include:

Azerbaijan
Djibouti
Kyrgyzstan

Hell of a speech

RedGreen — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 00:17:02 GMT

Couldn't have scripted it better. It's on the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech delivered from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. The parallels will be striking.

Definitly

an awesome. it would be a great way to reward all of his supporters who worked really hard in the convention process to get htere as a delegate but didnt make it. I would pay alot of money to see him speak to a crowd of 70,000. gonna be one hell of a speech too.

I like the idea of his acceptance speech at Invesco, but.....

...how will the tickets be distributed? Will it be like getting tickets to World Series? Will ticket buyers be vetted politically? (I presume some token HRC supporters will be allowed in for the sake of party unity.)
Will there be seating available to the general public? That could present a problem if the folks over at Recreate 68 should get their paws on a batch of tickets.
The Obama campaign could end up with a bunch of camels inside the tent pissing on others inside the tent.

wasn't Helms the only "no" vote on the bill initially authorizing the Ryan White Act?

Because oil and gas development is costing the sttes more than its taking in

ClubTwitty — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 23:00:07 GMT

Companies should pay their own way. Loss of wildlife habitat (hunting generates millions each year); crumbling roads and infrastructure (backlog in the millions--many of the impacts are directly attributable to oil and gas traffic); declining air and water quality (again, its the state--i.e. taxpayers--that often pay for remediation, increased health costs, etc.); and spiking social costs (including the need for more schools). This is about fairness, making the industry that is causing these direct (and indirect) impacts pay its fair share.

"There is not one single case of AIDS in this country that cannot be traced in origin to sodomy."

On gay Americans and AIDS: "It's their deliberate, disgusting, revolting conduct that is responsible for the disease."

"The New York Times and Washington Post are both infested with homosexuals themselves. Just about every person down there is a homosexual or lesbian."

-- Jesse Helms

What's the justification?

Walter in Denver — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 22:40:08 GMT

The state gets more money, just because it can? Because (some) oil companies have money? Because Colorado isn't yet as evil as its neighbor states? Pathetic.

Just another money grab by a geedy spendthrift government.

A man of.. of.. wtf??

"To rob the Negro of his reputation of thinking through a problem in his own fashion is about the same as trying to pretend that he doesn't have a natural instinct for rhythm and for singing and dancing."

Does this sound like the Obamas, or what?

RedGreen — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 22:27:42 GMT

It sounds nothing like the Obamas. Whether you agree with their politics or not, the Obamas are the fruition of the Declaration of Independence and you should be proud our great nation has produced the ballot facing voters this fall.

This "controversy" will hurt Denver politicians who stood for the song and didn't raise a peep until they could scurry away to their talk radio microphones.

David, your ethics are showing; reminds me of Michelle Obama

Another skeptic — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 22:05:29 GMT

It is unethical to verbally contract to sing a song and then sing another one.

What sticks out for me is the singer's story about being called an American when she was overseas and how she didn't and doesn't feel American even though she loves living in this country.

Does this sound like the Obamas, or what?

I think this controversy will hurt Obama in Colorado, and it should.

Probably those of us who go

If it happens, I'll do my best to get there.

It's a great idea.

It is a radio ad

Like the posting says, Obama ad hits Christian radio -- in Colorado Springs.

wouldn't it be nice....

...if Larry Craig wins his appeal and gets a new trial during the week of the GOP convention. All his character witnesses will be readily available to testify that he's not the type to solicit sex in public rest rooms.

The GOP is in negotiations to rent out the auditorium at an elementary school in Minneapolis just so they can muster a full house when McCain accepts the Republican crown.

The average American I know wants health.
The desire for a new pick-up is largely gone now. I stopped looking, myself. I really like the Ford F-150. But forget it at $4 gasoline. We're all fat. My friends who got into the jogging craze in the 1980s are all heavy now. Most limp because they've blown out a knee or a hip.
I would imagine you'd agree, there's something in the food, hormones or steroids.
Personally, I want bigger biceps. But, liberals don't want bigger biceps for themselves and certainly not for me.

I think it's fine

jericho — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 18:34:48 GMT

I think it gets his point across. I have yet to see a campaign ad ever that really got me excited though. I'd say this one is par for the course.

OOPS

McCain's thinking on Iraq is to stay there in force
until the unwashed heathen masses relent
and accept the government imposed on them by George, Angel of the Lord.

The Obama tack is to permit the Iraqis to find their own way,
and choose their own government.

One of these alternatives comports well with the core American values enshrined in that birth certificate issued 232 years ago today.

How are things?

If you are going to point fingers

parsingreality — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 17:31:06 GMT

you parked the finger that points at the beginning of the end of the middle class under Ray-gun and the absolute disaster that the Boosh administration has been.

Squandered money like drunken sailors, destroyed the sympathy and good will of the world after 9/11.

There is plenty of blame to go around, including the average Amurikan wanting lots more stuff, but don't every blame wanting a world with clean air and water and with rights for everyone.

If you want respect for authority and the good old days, there a lot of places in the world you should be comfortable in.
