Jesus fuck Bob, your pervy yellow truck ax murder friend is trying to KILL THAT CAT, DO SOMETHING!!The CNN.com earned its pay this morning with this bewildered opening salvo about a Sarah Palin rally: “GRAND JUNCTION, Colorado (CNN) — Taking ‘Joe the plumber’ wordplay to an unprecedented new level, Sarah Palin on Monday…” Yes. Sarah Palin escalated her “verbiage” to new vistas of pain by giving a cute nickname to every worker in this godforsaken country, as well as Barack Obama, who has never had a job beyond gang organizing.

The nicknames included:

  • “Tito the Builder,” for Colombian-born construction worker Tito Munoz. Palin: “Tito explained that he’s an immigrant from Colombia and he also had this reminder for us. He says, quote, ‘Everything is possible in America. I made it.’” Enjoy it now, Tito the Builder, because if the Republicans win this thing, Sarah Palin is going to deport the SHIT out of you and call you smelly within the first 100 hours in office. Even if Tito is aware of this, he surely considers it a fair risk to take when compared to the dire alternative: that people who make hundreds of thousands of dollars will see their federal income tax rate rise from 36% to 39%. And according to Jesus, “Socialism” kicks in once that number cracks 37%. If it’s 36% then our economic system is still safely “America.”
  • “Phil the Bricklayer.” Phil lays bricks all day. If some day he made $250,000 a year and couldn’t hire several people full-time because black Obama had taken another $8,000 of his taxes — a full year’s salary for at least 20 people, shared! — then… oh right, a bricklayer will in fact never make $250,000 a year.
  • “Rose the Teacher.” Palin said that Rose the Teacher, along with Phil the Bricklayer, “can expect to have their ‘dreams dashed by the Obama tax increase.’” Completely erased! Suppose Rose had a “good teaching year” and started getting paid $250,000 a year to teach fourth graders basic arithmetic. This happens almost all the time. Well, under the Obama tax plan, the $8,000 extra Rose would pay in taxes would prevent her from buying the public school at which she teaches. Now what kind of president does that? Of course, the liberal MSM gotcha media would never say anything bad about “The One.”
  • “Barack the Wealth Spender.” This is Barack Obama’s fake full time job, Sarah Palin said: “So all these Joe the plumbers in the house, it doesn’t sound like you are supporting Barack the Wealth Spender in this elections.” That’s all he does, he finds “wealth” in your plumber’s toolbox and then “spends” it on, uh… tax cuts for middle class professionals such as plumbers. Fucking commie.

In reality, do you really believe the election numbers would be as close as they are?

This is what racism does. It covers up, rationalizes and minimizes positive qualities in one candidate and emphasizes negative qualities in another when there is a color difference.

Candidates Educational Background:

Barack Obama:
Columbia University – B.A. Political Science with a Specialization in International Relations.
Harvard – Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude

Joseph Biden:
University of Delaware – B.A. in History and B.A. in Political Science
Syracuse Univ College of Law – Juris Doctor (J.D.)
Vs.

John McCain:
United States Naval Academy – Class rank: 894 of 899

Sarah Palin:
Hawaii Pacific University – 1 semester
North Idaho College – 2 semesters – general study
University of Idaho – 2 semesters – journalism
Matanuska-Susitna College – 1 semester
University of Idaho – 3 semesters – B.A. in Journalism

Education isn’t everything, but this is about the two highest offices in the land as well as our standing in the world.

You make the call. I don’t want to think about what if you don’t.

$250,000 with a 36% tax rate = $90,000

$250,000 with a 39% tax rate = $97,500
———-
$7,500 <=== Rounded up to $8,000

Have no idea if those are accurate tax rates for people earning $250,000. But, Jim says they are and he’d never lie for comic or dramatic effect. Unless it was a weekday. And, he was bored. Or he felt like it.

This is part of the McCain’t/Pallid strategy to take us back to the Dark Ages, before people had last names. He will be John the Short and she will be Sarah from Hunger.

What about “Todd the Terrorist”, “Bristol the Adulterer”, and “Piper and Willow – Witches from the WB” and “Grandpa John the old guy that says “cunt” a lot”?

No, no, no… It’s a 3% increase only on the taxable income IN EXCESS OF $250K. So, like, with $250K income after deductions, 36% X 0 = 0, 39% X 0 = 0, 0 = 0.

Q. E. fuckin’ D!

In 2004, I registered Larry the Loser to vote. He did okay on his name, but the address part was a pisser. He had to come out on the porch of his crumbling double-wide and copy down the numbers barely still hanging over his door.

His roomie Dave the Drunk was excited (and kind of hot, in a white trash, fuckin’ redneck way) and asked questions like, “you mean I can vote now?” “In what elections?” “Even President?” “How long is this good for?”

I cheerfully gave him a civics lesson and put Democratic signs all over their yard in Jennings OK because, wtf, they had no idea what was happening. Not that many Kerry signs around there, I assure you, so this was a big WIN!

Like either of them ever made it to the polls even after I described in detail how to get down their street to the polling place. And, even if proud first-time registered Dave did, like either of them hadn’t been released for prison on their last meth-related conviction the day before.

Liberals in the Heartland live on our fantasies, however, otherwise we would all form a ring, sing “kumbaya” and drink the fucking vodka-laced kool-aid.
