Is that McCain doing his Dr. Evil impersonation?

Liberty Science Center is a wonderful museum, btw. It’s often crammed with kids on school trips – many of them poor kids. It should get more funding, not less.

That’s okay, at least John will keep the veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan from going to that school, since they haven’t shown a committment to serving their country!!!!

We can’t have those lazy lie about veterans who’ve been whooping it up in Iraq and Afghanistan going and getting themselves educated. What a waste of gun fodder that would be.

Grampy McSame says – My friends, back in the day we had pork and bacon too, we all had pigs in our kitchens, they would provide gas for our stoves, stoves that were made of cardboard, I love cardboard sandwiches, covered in syrup and ants, that’s some good eating back then, I hope that’s a apple pie I just sat in.

Tears are streaming down my face as I type. My co-workers think I’m insane. PLEASE. DON’T. STOP.

In Allentown Pa, three streets intersect or sort of do at the corners of Turner, Front, and Chew. I am not kidding. The pickles the guy makes at the farmer’s market are also quite good

JMOHR Says: We need class warfare

We’ve had it for awhile, but it’s been covert and the top 1% of the country are largely winning. When Americans who are not part of that privileged group fully realize that the desired policies of that group are the exact opposite of what is needed for the rest of the country, the “privileged class” power will come to an end. All monarchies end.

The problem is that McCain tends to lump the two together as being inappropriate. The conflated amount of earmarks and pork barrel projects then forms a very in adequate base from which he will give even greater amounts of tax breaks and tax cuts to the wealthy and corporations. The result will be more jobs shipped overseas, far greater cuts in domestic programs and very pleased Republican elites who will watch with joy as those excess scum (the working and middle classes) die from lack of health care or other services. We need class warfare and we ought to see those like McCain and the others hung out to dry,

McCain likes money as much as Scrooge McDuck. And just like McDuck, McCain wants his own MoneyBin where he can have a diving board and swim in his money from kickbacks and boldface “straight talk” lying.

Campaign finance reform?! McCain will back it and then amend it so he doesn’t have to follow it. That is the McCainian way!

I think we can all recognize earmarks vs. pork-barrel spending. (Memories of the “Bridge to Nowhere”) and I totally agree with McCain or anyone else that says such pork needs to be eliminated. Hillary’s earmark for the Woodstock Museum was plain and simple a stupid waste of money….and I attended Woodstock as a young adult. McCain’s obvious error was using the wrong terminology. But this is more than just a single slip. We see him “misspeaking” constantly. I think he needs to release his medical records, and I do mean right now!!

To the TP staff:

we appreciate your tireless efforts to come up with news items that put McCain in a bad light, but frankly, I’m concerned you’re gonna pull a hamstring reaching as far as you do.

At least promise you’ll stretch thoroughly beforehand, okay?

Grampy McSame sure loves giving speeches in front of Pork projects, don’t he.

SHHHHHHH!! Why did you have to bring this up, TP? The White House is going to have a conniption when it finds out that federal money is being used to promote SCIENCE!

No, no, no – McFlipFlop meant pork barrel spending, not earmarks. He was just having a senior moment.
You know, point out how senile he is will just piss the old coot off.
