McCains report more than $100,000 in credit card debt
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and his wife reported more than $100,000 of credit card liabilities, according to financial disclosure documents released Friday.
The presidential candidate and his wife Cindy reported piling up debt on a charge card between $10,000 and $15,000. His wife’s solo charge card has between $100,000 and $250,000 in debt to American Express.
McCain’s wife also has a second American Express charge card listed on the senator’s financial disclosure that was carrying $100,000 to $250,000 in debt.
Another charge card with American Express, this one for a “dependent child,” is carrying debt in the range of $15,000 and $50,000.

How hard is it…
…when you’ve realized that you’re working for an administration that has lied to the American people about… well about every fucking thing… to just quit your job, go out and find the biggest bunch of microphones you can and then scream at the top of your lungs, “Hey, America, I got something really important to say”?

Only.
As in “only” Buchenwald, where a paltry 56,000 or so people lost their lives.
8,483 by gunshot… 1,100 by hanging… roughly 13,500 suffocating or starving in transport, stuffed into train cars like live-stock.
The rest worked to death or expired from typhoid, there bodies stacked in neat little piles.
Don’t believe me?
Here, let me show you the photos…

“Schvartze”
It’s my sad opinion that were he still alive, my grandfather… a life-long Democrat who often referred to African-Americans using the derogatory Yiddish term that is this diary’s title… would have gone into a voting booth in Fort Lauderdale and chosen Republican Senator John McCain over Democratic Senator Barack Obama.

When I referenced the Hindenburg…
…I was talking about the first twenty one minutes of the flight, not the part when it was set aflame and thirty-two people were burnt to a crisp.
I’m really, truly and wholeheartedly sorry if you were too stupid to figure that out and were somehow offended by what I clearly wasn’t actually saying.

I’m a McBloggerer!
Dear Surely Nubile, Young, Excited McCain Information Spreaderers:
I’ve recently read your Clarion call and would very much like to become one of the citizen bloggers who will fan out across the speedy-tubes, spreading the fresh, new, ideas of Senator John McCain.
With this in mind, I hereby submit the following potential comment, which I’d like to post:
I know most of you here are little more than communists and heathens, but I’m sure if you took a moment to look at Senator McCain’s domestic policies on taxes, social security, and heath care, you’d see that he was the superior candidate.
Dear Blogger:
Thank you for your submission, but after doing some polling on Senator McCain’s policies we’ve come to the conclusion that Americans, on the whole, favor Democratic proposals over Republican ideas on domestic issues. With that in mind we suggest you try another tact when trying to advocate for our candidate.

“Why is Chelsea so ugly?”
So, letmegetthisstraight, Geraldine…
Ferraro, who clashed with the Obama campaign about whether she made a racially offensive remark, said she might not either. “I think Obama was terribly sexist,” she said.

“…which I suppose would include myself.”
Alright, I’m sure you’ve seen some version of the below video where Chris Matthews asks sausage-brain to explain what appeasement means and protruding-forehead does his best imitation of Lenny from Mice and Men, “The rabbits, George. I want to pet the rabbits.”
But I’d like you to skip past “screaming-dude-who’s-greatest-college-experience-included-a-beer-bong-and-a-copy-of-Juggs” (I know its hard) in favor of a later moment… starting at 4:07 and going to the end… where Chris Matthews bemoans the denotative meaning of phrases like “appeaser” and “cut-and-run” and “WMD” and “patriotism”.
