The dumbest thing I’ve seen today is the voter tally at my polling place in GA — only 75 people had voted before I did at 2:00 pm. Today is the runoff election for the two Democratic candidates running for the US Senate.
Yes. My tires are properly inflated. Got the fuel efficiency lecture from a beau about 2 years ago. About the smartest thing he ever said during our relationship.
I hope you voted for Jim Martin.
Indeed I did. And he’s winning with 63% of the vote right now.
metricpenny, as you go through life you find that most guys know a lot more about cars than relationships. It is lamentable but true. The upside is that you can get your boyfriend/husband to do various dirty disagreeable things like changing tires and batteries.
From an article in the NYT:
Our economy goes in the toilet while the powers that be in Iraq rake in billions. I doubt very much that the Iraqis we maimed or robbed of loved ones will see a nickel of this money.
That’s not dumb, it’s criminal.
But at least calling it dumb isn’t “off the table”.
Yet.
why yes, they are…l want one of these, but not for $25 to the mcstain campaign.

I think Obama should get some tire gauges and pass them around at his rallies. It would both mock McCain and make a point about conservation.
They should have the “O” logo, though, not the “Obama’s Energy Plan” thing on them.
Just wait next year sometime you will be able to pick it up at bargain rates at a republican house yard sale when they are tryin’ to make their mortgage.
remember to ask them;
“You actually gave $25 for this?”
and then thank them for the bargain.
McCain proposing that Cindy enter the Miss Buffalo Chip contest at Sturgis.
That’s not dumb, that’s sick. Ewwwwww.
At least one McCain would be worth something.
Her husband is totally worthless. Come on Cindy, show us your (noun deleted in the interest of having some taste in this post).
via TPM has fuller details: Stuff you can’t make up – deserving of a repost:
“Buffalo Chip has a reputation for that sort of thing. It holds a Miss Buffalo Chip contest every night, which is essentially a topless beauty pageant. And occasionally bottomless, too. During a drenching rain Wednesday night, the contest broke up into smaller groups and one woman wound up dancing naked on a bar top. Her boyfriend/husband saw her and angrily dragged her away as she struggled to put her pants back on and muttered something about how, “It’s only this one week a year.”
Don’t forget the Sturgis Festival Pickle-licking contest.
What a presidential event. No celebrity issues there.
wow. McCain really has zero respect for his wife. Zero.
And like a number of commenters over at the BOSS said, if Obama had said something like this his campaign would be over. (And Michelle would have killed him.)
Women out there, please explain the psychology of any woman supporting McCain?
It’s simple, Hillary lost so Mccain’s their guy.

Although that site takes a bit of reading to be sure they’re sarcastic and not just bamboozled by McSame.
Are you referring to his c*nt who “plaster[s] on the makeup like a trollop”? I’d say it’s safe to say that he didn’t marry her for her cooking…
Offering up your wife for a T&A “beauty” contest…how do you even joke about that? He’s just a complete misogynist…and is ugly to boot.
The so-called “religious right” has been mighty quiet. Next time we hear them talk about “moral issues” and “family values” we should remind them of their silence.
do I dare open that link?
No…
McCain should enter that contest himself. He’s had plenty of practice!
I just about died. I thought, “This man does not have an ounce of respect for his wife.” For him to say that, so how low opinion he has of her. Tacky-ass mofo, is John McCain.
I don’t own a car, so the question about my tires doesn’t compute.
Obama told people that maintaining good tire pressure – inflated tires – contributes to better gas mileage.
McCain mocked Obama’s reminder as bunk – out of touch. NASCAR and auto industry experts endorsed the Obama’s suggestion.
Yeah, I know all that, but it still doesn’t much affect me personally (as long as King County Metro makes sure all of its busses’ tires are inflated).
OTOH I’ll need to check to see if my kids have checked their tires lately.
for starters, if you eat, it has an impact on cost of food.
I meant personally as in “my personal transportation.” One would hope that the people who truck food hither and yon for a living are already aware of things like this.
I was just about to post that link.
on the planet Ork.
Democrats unrelenting in oversight of Bush administration
Cause it sure ain’t near reality anywhere on this planet !!
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!!!!!!!
Maybe they’re thinking of a secondary definition of “oversight”.
(n) oversight, lapse (a mistake resulting from inattention)
dumbest thing I’ve seen so far today are RepubliCons claiming their ‘protest’ (temper tantrum, really) helped lower gas prices.
Whatta buncha yutzes!! Their claim to have lowered Gas prices is about as true as my claim that RepubliCons like to blow goats. Utterly ridiculous (I hope, for their sake)…..and so, untrue.
The reason Republicans recoil at a suggestion like inflating your tires properly is that they cannot stand the idea of smart collective social action. They want a cowboy economy and a polical environment where economic predators can prosper. They figure that if we all get together and do sensible stuff like inflating our tires to the most fuel-efficient pressure, it could lead to communism or something.
Not just that, they can’t make any money off of simple stuff like keeping your tires inflated. Well, not if they’re selling gas gauges at $25 a pop anyway. (There’s got to be some mileage in that, something tying their Obama gas gauge to $250,000 toilet seats and $500 hammers, or whatever the urban legend is.)
Standing in line at store wearing mt Geezers For Change, Obama fir Pres and the clerk says, wow is that the name of a band?? said no dear, then she asked who Obama was…
powerful stupid
You didn’t think to ask if she has electricity and indoor plumbing in her cave?
The strange part was that I was in Trader Joe’s of all places!!! Guy behind me nearly choked at the exchange.
For the curious, Trader Joe’s is a sublime fun organic r us type of store.

The stupidest thing I’ve seen today?
Larry “Nose Full O’ Blow” Kudlow saying offshore drilling will give McCain a landslide.
Somebody put this one in the time capsule so we can print this up, wrap it around the end of a bat, and smash Larry in the back of the head with it come November 5.
I don’t know if you’re old enough to remember, but in 1972 the Nixonites started printing up million dollar bills with McGovern’s picture on it, mocking him for some economic statement or another he made.
Seems to me like Obama should print up some McCain funny money in the denomination of “1 cent per gallon, payable 2030” as the average driver’s share of the gas price relief offshore drilling would create.
I had forgotten that, good one
or they could recycle the gas ratrioning coupons from the mid 70’s with st. john on it
l’ll bet they’re still in storage somewhere, eh. the gsa never tosses anything.
McCain calling himself a maverick
actually, no, they’re not fully inflated.
thanks for the reminder.
came out today…
What’s with the bikers all the sudden? Ted and his bikers and McCain with Sturgis. Are we headed for a Fascist revolution of accountants on Harleys?
Dumbest thing I heard today, was the fact McSame’s campaign responded to the Paris Hilton parody ad.
If that ad threatens them …..
well that says a lot.
