I picture you at the state line holding a pitchfork, personally poking it toward John McCain, standing by the side of the road in front of his "straight talk express" bus (a minor detail being the word "straight" on the sign is hanging down crooked, like it lost a nail).

"We don't need your kind in these parts--take it back on down to Texas and Georga where you come from," you say, and, seeing all your friends standing behind you, he assesses the situation for a moment, and turns around to climb back on the bus, which turns around, and drives off as all of Michigan's Democrats give you a high-five, as the band strikes up a rockin' version of "Happy Days are Here Again."

Yeah, go ahead and be proud.

"yo, bad rubbish--- good riddance!"


THERSITES:  I will see you hanged, like clotpoles, ere I come any more to your tents; I will keep where there is wit stirring and leave the faction of fools.
PATROCLUS:  A good riddance.

By "straight," McCain means "heterosexual."

i would think that on the fence and disaffected Rs in Mich. might be pissed off by this news. Have you herd tell of any of that?

the story that struck me was this one, with some of those rumored disaffected hillary people who won't vote obama. (prepare for a stench.)
