I think if Obama wins, he will be an effective, smart, and I dare say moderately conservative leader (to the frustration of the true left), knowing he needs to build consensus to tackle the economy, healthcare, the wars, energy, etc.
I hope he gets the chance. Oh, and I think the temperament and verbal ability is a plus.

Hey, sheep do tend to fuck other sheep. It's the natural order of things. That makes for a pretty smart sheep, IMHO.

Ah, ah, ah, you two... how do you call yourself disciples of liberty, or indeed a freedom-minded anything, without a willingness to hang tyrants and shoot their lackeys until they decide anything but democracy is a nonstarter? If you aren't a democrat, you're a tyrant, and that just sucks in all directions.

I know I'm vehement about this, but here I stand and I can no other. I see neither of you are managing a germane response, preferring instead to shield your eyes from the light of liberty. If you can't stand the light, how bright are you, then?

What are you going to do now that the Dems are in power UG? How are you going to manage? Will we see less or more of you around here?

I can see UG leaving the country and joining Slang on a road trip through Southeast Asia. Sort of like Hope & Crosby, but with guns, beer, and prostitutes.

Cue up Zevon's "Lawyers, Guns, And Money" on the in-dash CD. Make sure the cooler has plenty of Singha beer. But no Mekong brand whiskey. I learned a life lesson once; never drink anything that only gets a lukewarm endorsement from an Australian Army infantryman.

Whatever we use for firearms depends on what threats we're planning to encounter. Pistols can be small and innocent; selective fire assault rifles are only de rigueur on the rifle-rack up in opium country.

Slang's never mentioned his singing voice to me, and I dance pretty clumpish. Maybe we can do the harmony parts of "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner."

Time time time, for another peaceful war Roland the headless Thompson gunner Time stands still for Roland 'til he evens up the score Norway's bravest son

They can still see his headless body stalking through the night

In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gun

That must be some seriously dodgy stuff. The Australian palate recognises three grades of spirits:
Knickersoff (suitable for women)
Rocket fuel (suitable for men)
Window cleaner (Suitable for teenagers who haven't learnt better yet)


Mind you ...
