One of CNN's opinion pages:
http://www.cnn.com/2012....ex.html
As Bill Clinton walked out onto the stage of the Democratic National Convention last night, there was love in the air. Television cameras scanned the faces in the crowd and it was as if each man and each woman, regardless of their ages or where they came from, was seeing again the person who first stole their hearts. But however deep their affections, however dizzying their passion, it was clear that it was at least equaled by the love of the speaker for the crowd he faced, for the role he was playing and for the limelight he once again commanded.
Throughout Clinton's 49-minute address, at turns both masterful and meandering, the intensity of the love affair grew. At times, it was almost too much to watch. One woman on whom the cameras lingered for a moment was so close to a swoon that I thought she would topple over at any minute and that, in any event, she would never again look at her husband or lover again in the same away. They would always be second best.

I remember when Bush was a terrible President because unemployment was 5.5%.

No, John, there is a Santa Claus. You're voting for him again in 2012.

These stats are interesting, but I can't give them full support since no sources are cited:

At least one of those stats is wrong. The debt is $550 Trillion. A guy in a gas station said so today. He said we need to get Bill Clinton back in office. His record speaks for itself.
Also, Mitt Romney and some doctor said it's impossible for a woman to get pregnant while being raped because her body shuts down and prevents it. Is that the kind of man you want to put in office?
And the news paper said that NO ONE could have repaired everything in 4 years. So you can't hold that stuff against Obama. No one could have done any better.
It was a really smart gas station crowd.

IRS says they will not be enforcing the Obamacare tax/mandate.

1. Most likely, I bet yes, they will... if Obama wins a second term.
2. Worst case scenario, and not entirely implausible in today's America: The brand new Department of Health Care Enforcement. Answerable directly to the White House. 1.5k Health Care Enforcement Officers in every state. 5k Health Care Enforcement Administrators in DC.

I made that up. But I was alive for the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, so I can believe anything, now.

We've got two positions at the place I work, and we haven't been able to give those away for months now.

Yeah, I'm trying to hire people and it's absolutely painful.
Some Obama advisor, who clearly failed economics, was saying in the WSJ that there was no structural unemployment. Absolute bullshit.

ROFLMAO
On the last night of the Democratic National Convention, a retired Navy four-star took the stage to pay tribute to veterans. Behind him, on a giant screen, the image of four hulking warships reinforced his patriotic message.
But there was a big mistake in the stirring backdrop: those are Russian warships.
To me, one of the lamest parts of that godawful Pearl Harbor movie (besides the absurd love triangle) was the big square-looking Aegis cruisers getting bombed by the CGI Zeroes. LAAAAME!

Had to shoot down another candidate today. Do no schools teach fucking object-oriented programming anymore? Or SQL of any depth?

What if 100% of eligible voters exercised their right to vote? It would be possible to elect officials committed to rebuild the social and physical infrastructure, create millions of good, green jobs that will also reduce federal deficits.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

No, they do not teach SQL. I'm trying to hire DB people.
