Lots of things happened during this weekend. One can stretch a parallel between this forum and the somewhat larger World.
The World economy was on the verge of an economic depression (we were told).
Financial lifelines were clogged up by toxic assets. Leaders of the richest countries met during the weekend. Governments took measures to bypass
toxic assets and injected liquidity in financial markets.
In this forum, discussion of important political issues was hampered by a huge amount of toxic posts. The forum was in peril of sliding
into a cultural depression.
Over the weekend the Immint government implemented new measures trying to avert the disaster. New rules make it more difficult placing irrelevant
toxic posts. As a further measure, the Director injected humor in this forum in order to counter rampant dogmatism.
Would it work? Only time will tell. Meanwhile we should applaud the efforts of Lazarus Long who cut short his weekend rest in order to
resuscitate the credibility of this forum.

This one is pretty hillarious too(well, it is for us, it won't be for the right wingers). It's a picture of McCain attending an Acorn event in 2006.

I saw this posted today too. What a hypocrite / liar. This McCain campaign is making the GOP a laughing stock.

I want to thank you for the kind words Inawe but I really need to be consistent.

I spun Savages posts off the thread on humor for the same reason. Your comments are valid opinion but not humor and also the photo of McCain at the ACORN rally is real and not photo shop, hence news and subject to political analysis even if it is truly ironic. It is not intended as political humor even if you (and others) find it ironically funny.

Some on the right find Muslim fundamentalism hysterical but I won't let that stay there either. Just leave the jokes and humor in one place for all to appreciate and compare, unsullied by our personal diatribes and analysis. There are a myriad of threads for that purpose already and I am confident that there will be many more before things are over.

No comments yet from the righties about McCain cozing up to acorn? Going by the rules of "guilt by association", doesn't this make McCain a dangerous criminal now? Shouldn't we all be worried he's gonna try and "destroy America"? That's what the righties have been saying about Obama for two weeks. Why the sudden silence? Could it be, *GASP*, hypocrisy?



Speaking of right wing nutjobs with unsavory connections, anybody read that article about Palin and her ties to the crazy militias up there in Alaska?

EDIT:

The implosion of the republicans "Guilt by association" tactic now comes equipped with VIDEO. Here's the video of McCain at the Acorn event. lol

Is that guilt by association thing working for you guys yet? It is for the democrats. "You betcha".

Last night somebody sent me an email with an attached document. I was so shocked that I couldn't sleep.
In page 53 of the document we read:
'During the summer institute, the young teachers met and exchanged ideas
with Senator John McCain (R-Arizona) and Representative John Lewis (D-Georgia),
as well as with the dean of Washington reporters, David Broder of The Washington Post.'
................................................................................
............................
'Senator McCain, the former prisoner of war in Vietnam and presidential hopeful in 2000, told the
teachers, "Nobody in the country is doing more important work than you are"'.

This Annenberg Foundation is a front that channels money to fund subversive and terrorist activities. Some of that money went to
finance the activities of the terrorist William Ayers and for propaganda for McCain.
McCain so dislikes this country that he's "palling around with terrorists bent on destroying it". I cannot vote for such a person.
