bomb, bomb, bomb Iran.
By now we would be discussing whether the bombing should stop or not.
No, the question would be “continue bombing” vs. “bomb MORE” vs. “go NUCLEAR!”
Well, there’s probably be a Palin Resignation Watch, since VPing is boring and dumb and a bucket of warm s*it and stuff.
whether to steal a loaf of bread or to eat from a dumpster.
Yup.
I have no idea what the rest of you would be debating. As for me, I’d take up smoking pot again. In my basement pantry. And listening to Led Zeppelin.
There comes a point where “debate” is unbearable, a point that is reached much sooner when it is Sarah Palin doing the debating.
That sounds really appealing, even without McCain & Palin in the White House!
We’d be debating whatever the current issues are in Canada/Mexico/Europe because that’s where a lot of us would have moved. The folks stuck in the States would be using carrier pigeons to coordinate their rebellion.
Too funny!
One step ahead of you.
Australia is far from perfect, but it’s nowhere near as whacked as the US. I got my Aus. citizenship earlier this year, so they can’t send be back.
I’d probably be job-hunting again, living from my car, on the run from repo-men.
We’d be debating the extent of damage from drilling in ANWR. Oh wait, was I supposed to say something funny?
public transit. Or, how to unseat an incompetent executive when the VP is even worse.
Either that or Bristol’s dating choices.
IE: reference the current conundrum the people of South Carolina find themselves in ….
Probably, I’d be arguing with the Italian bureaucracy about dual Citizenship.
1) That an additional Tax-Cut for the top 1% percent will restore our Economy.
2)The Economy would be so bad McCain would invade Mexico and start a conflict with Canada just keep the press occupied.
No matter what, I’m sure the Sunday talk shows would be sure to have Obama on every Sunday to get his point of view on it. Right?
perhaps the pros and cons of their decision to rendition chimpy to Guantánamo for dissin’ the dynamic duo.
tough call.
we were still in Iran and Afghanistan.
Oh, uh…
Freudian.
No, you just forgot to add Iraq. We’d be in all three.
I agree with that one.
And the anti-war movement would still be alive and kicking.
Progressives would be enraged at the republican sponsored free money giveaway to the financial industry.
I also think the repubs would be proposing some sort of healthcare fix that inordinately benefits the industry at the expense of the consumers. And the bill would be bipartisan and include supporters such as Max Baucus. hehe.
I could share my experiences with single-payer health care here in Canuckistan.
With our luck, we’d all be listening to the talking heads on cable news talk about myocardial infarctions and the 25th Amendment.
who cares when this is our reality?

Is the Northeast actually in America? If so, why do so many Europeans live there?
McCain getting a replacement nominee through Congress.
“It’s just so hard being Vice President…”
McCain getting a HIP replacement…
We’d be discussing how ridiculous the press orgy was for the Levi-Bristol wedding.
I don’t know what we’d be talking about, but Levi Johnston would be a national hero. You betcha!!!!
