    That was very powerful…..very very powerful

  • dontpanic23

    Whoa, indeed. Wish that one was running all over the telly. MCat says it: powerful.

  • thea2b

    Wow, this should be played over and over for the next 6 days! Very Very powerful stuff.

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl

    I feel left out, so I’ll say it too. Powerful.

  • http://www.clusterdouche.com Elvis Dingeldein

    Oh powerful my ass. I’m getting so tired of these blatantly fearmongering videos circulated by those pricks at the Obama’s Face On A Great Big Umbrella Company. They just want to sell more of those great big smiley umbrellas. With Obama’s face on them.

  • J M Ashby

    Kind of reminds me of a commerical for some horror video game. Too bad its RL. Heckuva job, Bush.

  • http://obamaproject.windonwater.net QueenTiye

    Yeah. This is depressing. I wish it could have been rounded out with some inspiration from Barack yesterday giving his speech in the rain.QT

  • dontpanic23

    Elvis: Always a ray of sunshine.And you want depressing? I offered again today to take my 20-year old wittle asshole-attitude baby out to eat, using MY gas, and then to vote–something I can’t even afford but will go in debt to do–and he said he decided he wasn’t going to vote, that the electoral system made it moot. This just after having his eardrums pierced by Palin on tv. I told him he might have to listen to that for 4 years if he doesn’t do his part. He stalked out the door to go blow up a squirrel or something. I really think that second kid was switched at birth. I’m fuckin’ livid.(a G to the VP elect, goddammit).QT: be glad you stopped at one (assuming CA is your only). The second one apparently is designed to break your heart.Watch for Jane now. Raleigh is coming up. *must bring BP down to triple digits or I will die*

  • jane

    Hes Here!

  • jane

    Hes Here!

  • dontpanic23

    You’re there? Talk louder, Jane! Talk! They keep cutting away from him after 2 words.

  • dontpanic23

    Jane–holler “BobCesca.com”

  • Poleezz

    My GOD I have just received the most disgusting piece of shit in the mail you have ever seen from Indiana Republican Headquarters. I forwarded it to Bob and I hope he shares it with you. Maybe some of you have received one of these as well. I am sooooooooo fucking sick of this SHIT!

  • KatinWilm

    Ditto on the top comments! Wow is right. And I want a big umbrella!!DP – is this the kid still living with you? I don’t know about you (I only have one, thank The Lord in all his wisdom and mercy) but I’d tell him you could make a couple bucks by renting out his bedroom. Poor little squirrel.

  • Poleezz

    Have any of you received the Bill Ayers flyer the republifucks are sending out?

  • dontpanic23

    Yup, Kat. He’s the one living here. Laid off and hunting instead of job-hunting, but I can only take so much venison and I do not eat rodent–cute and furry or otherwise. I did make a remark about going on grocery strike–damn they just cut away again I think it’s OJ Simpson–which worked one time when I really wanted him to get his GED after dropping out. He starved his way through that and got the GED but I don’t have enough time to starve him before Tuesday. Damn.Stupid car crash instead of Obama. And Jane. Must change channels.

  • dontpanic23

    I’ve gotten 4 copies of everything the fuckwits have sent–one whole giant oak–but I haven’t even glanced at them before putting them in the recycle stack. And have no plans to. *yuck*Nothing from them surprises me anymore.

  • http://obamaproject.windonwater.net QueenTiye

    Hugs for Poleezz and DP{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Poleezz & DP}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}Where’s Jane! I hope she has a camera…QT

  • Poleezz

    You wouldn’t have to even glance at this one DP. It will jump off the page and slap the shit out of you.

  • Poleezz

    Perhaps KO will share it with us tonight.

  • dontpanic23

    Thanks, QT. And I hope so too. CNN isn’t showing the freaking car chase while drooling like the countess bimbo on MSNBC.And Poleezz, I must not have gotten the slapper. I would have noticed that.

  • dontpanic23

    “disabled/not disabled”–that’s new. I’m glad he added that.

  • dontpanic23

    Did Jane just faint?

  • amaraya

    This McCain pollster on MSNBC is making me nervous/sick

  • dontpanic23

    I’ve had to turn off the tv because both news channels were making me sick. Will turn on for the big events later. On coffee pot number two right now. Must stay awake through the last one–tonight’s Daily Show.Jane, check in when you can. Report all, link to pics! Hope it wasn’t you who hit the deck.

  • http://get-m.blogspot.com MBrown

    DP/QT: i know i don’t know you guys, but you’ve kinda got me freaked out about when my kids are grown.

  • http://obamaproject.windonwater.net QueenTiye

    MBrown, all the blame for that goes to DP. My kid’s only 12. :) QT

  • http://livefreeordie08.wordpress.com LiveFreeOrDie08

    Where’s Jane??

  • dontpanic23

    MBrown: They only turn on you when they think they are adults and still live at home.LFOD: That’s my worry. Somebody fainted and Barack himself called for a medic (after tossing them a piece of candy? Whah?). It better not have been our Jane. If so, there was a Palinite in the crowd and it was assault with a deadly stupid brain.

  • http://livefreeordie08.wordpress.com LiveFreeOrDie08

    Hey, if anyone has the time to pepper the McCain camp, there’s a problem with Palin’s commitment to release her medical records…as in she hasn’t. It’s well stated over at the Carnival…http://thepoliticalcarnival.blogspot.com/2008/10/iwrc-palins-medical-records-whats-hold.htmlseems to me that McCain’s vetting team should have these docs all bundled up and ready to release whenever they like…I mean, afterall, they did vet her medical history, right??

  • jane

    Hi all! No, I didn’t faint but if I’d known he’d throw me his water bottle I would have arranged it. I had to hang out for a while after, soaking up the ambience, checking out the Swag.I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a happy and peaceful crowd (except perhaps at a Dead show, but those people never bathed).Windy, but beautiful. Pics to come (oh yeah, QT, I always have a camera if I can help it).What are they saying about the size of the crowd??

  • http://livefreeordie08.wordpress.com LiveFreeOrDie08

    They’re fixated on toys and peanut butter & jelly sandwiches….

  • http://obamaproject.windonwater.net QueenTiye

    Jane – looking forward to pics!All: talk about raining in America. :( http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2008/10/mccain-miami-rally-getting-ugly-down.htmlHow many more days?QT

  • J M Ashby

    QT – Thanks for the link, I hadn’t refreshed 538 for a few hours.McPalin supporters are fucking looney and ignorant. A dangerous combination.Yesterday a man shot a teenager with 22 who was trying to take his McCain yard sign.

  • jane

    QT- from those comments on 538, found this story about the daughter of a man born into slavery voting early for Obama. She’s 109, people!http://www.statesman.com/news/content/news/stories/local/10/27/1027jones.html

  • http://obamaproject.windonwater.net QueenTiye

    That’s just amazingly wonderful. :) Thank you, Jane!QT

  • KatinWilm

    That’s awesome you had such a great time, Jane. And it does seem like Obama people are way more chilled out than the uptight right wing. Perhaps we could come up with a new slogan: Who Needs 527 When You Have 420?Can’t wait to see the pics!

  • KatinWilm

    *I am in no way endorsing the consumption of or implying that all Obama supporters indulge. I was merely following up on the Dead comment.

  • ceu

    Where was she born into slavery, Jane?

  • Alan4s

    Ronald Reagan endorses Obama in this great ad (well, almost):http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrBKC3nQHYk

  • ceu

    Never mind, Jane…read it wrong.

  • MatthewN

    You know what would have made that video perfect?Pictures of Obama from his rally in the rain yesterday… with the hopeful faces looking up at him and the water running down his face…Would have changed to tone of the video from dispair to hope.

  • dontpanic23

    Jane is alive! And without the water bottle. Oh, well, look forward to the pics. Glad you didn’t mix up the Dead event with this one and take the brown acid.QT-thanks for the link to 538. I hadn’t seen that either. Bastards.Matthew that was a great shot. But we don’t want Jane getting pneumonia on top of bad acid. And remember William Henry Harrison–we don’t want our candidate doing that too often either.

  • dontpanic23

    JM – is the kid okay? Is the fucker in jail?

  • http://livefreeordie08.wordpress.com LiveFreeOrDie08

    OK, enough of the rain. Read this and I promise you you will be forever changed.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/john-mayer/hope-is-not-a-buzz-word_b_138771.htmlJust amazing.

  • J M Ashby

    DP – Yes, the kid was hit in the arm. The shooter was arrested.

  • http://obamaproject.windonwater.net QueenTiye

    LFoD08: Yes. That was a wonderful piece. :) MatthewN: Yep. That’s what I said, too! :) QT

  • dontpanic23

    LFOD – I’m taping this to my apathetic sometimes-shitbag son’s door. I won’t say another word to him about voting but I hope he reads this and thinks about it. Thank you.

  • bjritz

    Somewhere up there is the question of whether anyone else is getting the hate mail from the GOP. I am. I’m a registered Republican who is voting for Obama. I get all of the fear mail. Then I started getting robo calls from them as well. On the robo calls they left a number to call them back. I do often reminding them of why I as a republican am voting for Obama. I could post that number here so you can leave messages too, if this blog allows that. I’m new here. So, let me know.

  • dontpanic23

    Bjritz, I don’t speak for anyone here but myself, but I don’t think there would be a problem. If it’s on the evil mail it’s now part of the public domain. I’d move it up to the evening open thread, though, if you want it seen.

  • http://obamaproject.windonwater.net QueenTiye

    bjritz: welcome to the GDAB! Go! :) QT
