Now that Georgie has lost the Election...
 
I thought it would be nice to make some predictions about GW's future.

Now that God has unchosen him, he will probably get a little depressed. Inside 6 mos W will be plowing through so much cocaine he's gonna need a snowmobile to get around.

Griff--where did you hear this? We've been keeping track at work and it looks like georgie won! Please tell me he lost!

lookout123 11-02-2004 07:26 PM

no matter which side you want it is still way to early to get cocky.

remember "DEWEY WINS"?

Griff 11-02-2004 07:31 PM

:) I wanted Badnarik. Check Slates latest numbers. I'm mostly being a smart ass though.

i kinda figured you were yanking some chains, but there are some tightly wound spools in thte cellar today, so you never know.

All numbers are within the margin of error, so you might as well make a coin toss to decide who gets what? As for GWB, the only country in the world he would really be welcome in is Russia. I certainly wouldn't want to give him Carter's job of helping certify overseas elections, even though there would be a compelling irony there.

A lot of people, even many of those voting for him, believe that he only got his job due to his father's legacy, some powerful friends, and a socially conservative agenda. Outside of terror, I really don't think there is a lot of confidence in his competence in affairs of state, and his terror credentials stem largely from pulling the trigger on Iraq.

Let him go back to getting in one sweetheart deals with Texas millionaires.

He got the job with votes. I won't argue popular v. electoral here, but all this shit about a 'stolen' election is so 2000. The trend right now seems to be for Bush.

BTW, I voted a straight ticket today for this first time in my life. It was for the Libertarian Party. Believe me, I hate a lot of shit about this country right now, too.

But hey, did you know Alaska may legalize marijuana? I'm tempted to go up there and build some greenhouses. My farm will be called 'Northern Lights', as will my product. The slogan will be 'The No Fuzz Buzz'.

Umm, these are all copyrighted by right of first reference. As of <i>now</i>. But probably actually for UT.

Kerry is projected to win PA (by MSNBC)...looks like Dubya wasted a whole lot of time coming here.

Griff, you're a jinxing motherfucker.

Bush looks like he has Florida in the bag, and the GOP is fighting tooth-and-nail for Ohio. If they get that, it's game set match. I have an ulcer big enough to hide a chicken in, and emigration would be tempting if there was anywhere safe to which to emigrate.

For me, any one is same because I still cannot get the USA visa and go to see you.

xoxoxoBruce 11-03-2004 12:43 AM

Just wait for Bush to come to you, Billy. :yelsick:
Now if you'll excuse me, I have war materiel to build.

I heard the Democrats plan to make it even harder for you. Well, hopefully in four years, but still... :mad:

Griff, buddy, you started on the Bushmills the minute you got home from the polls, didn't you?

Presidential Count continues.

I'm very much enjoying watching Dan Rather look increasingly uncomfortable and frustrated as Bush seems to be winning.

I got my real election return earlier tonight. One of my frequent callers to the nuthouse told me at around 2115 hrs.

Nut: So, you vote today?

Wolf: Yes, Nut (not his real name). I voted.

Nut: I voted for Kerry. You vote for Kerry?

Wolf: No, Nut. I voted for Bush.

Nut: That Bush, the imcunbemt (that's how he says it. He's illiterate and uses some unusual pronounciation), he's taking it. He won.

Wolf: Bush won, Nut?

Nut: Yeah.

Wolf: Okay, Nut. I'll let everybody know that I heard it from you first.

I find that I actually get fairly accurate current events reportage from many of my patients. Heck, I learned about the first WTC bombing from a patient, and I thought she was crazy at the time. I've trusted NutWire News ever since.

So, Wolf, we now see where you get your encyclopedic-type information. I hope you are more than ready to gear up to haul ass to where-ever the threat may be. I've no guns myself. You think you can defend your Phila 'burb? Good luck. you'll need it.

:rattat:

<b>Brianna</b>, I think <b>wolf</b> is just prepared to defend her home and person from those who would choose to do her harm. It is certainly a personal option to rely on the police to perform that duty. They usually just show for clean-up.

I sincerely doubt I will ever have to use my weapons defensively. I'm not that paranoid. Shooting is just something fun to do, and marksmanship (hitting a good shot at 100+ yards) is truly satisfying.
