Oddly, yesterday morning I asked a right wing observant Jewish man who I've known for many years who he was supporting for President . And after the yelling on his part and the snickering and eye rolling on my part settled down it turns out that Bachmann is crazy, Ron Paul is out of the question, Sarah will not run this time( he has a hard time admitting she is stupid though) and he likes Mittens and wishes Christie would run. He has had it with the praying to God for this and that business. Perry? He thinks something or other along the *Texas is doing just fine!* line but I showed him where that was bullshit and the prayathon offended him. Mostly he claimed it was too early and he really wants Romney. Just one guy, but still...

You think she'd ask, "What are you doing here?"

I mean, really, what do YOU do when you find a bearded guy hiding under your sofa cushions?

Yeah, well, there's a reason they didn't bother to go looking for that particular lost tribe.

This reminds me of one of the clearest signs the dot.com boom was about to bomb.

Brokerage houses reported folks were buying the wrong stocks. Speculators were purchasing stocks with ticker symbols one letter-off from the famous issues.

When those errors are being made, it's time to go to cash and head for the hills.

I hate to have to explain it, but flipping the expression around was my joke. The Bachmanns are the goyim, and, well, there's shame to spare here.

Good grief. I'd really love to not know a thing about any candidate's religious beliefs. It'd be so refreshing to be able to tell the difference between One-L stumping and a fucking tent revival. Financially supporting a candidate based soley on religious affiliation is nothing short of tragic, let alone doing so on a false assupmtion of that affiliation.

The Bachmanns are goyim for the shanda.

I don't know exactly what that means, but it sounded right.
