Pauly To Rocky - He doesn't like..you know...us people.

Rocky - Maybe we don't like them either.

No, they were far from pure as the driven snow, far from it..

This is from August Prophet:

“..n February 1970, McCain took part in what is now known as the “church riot” after their captors denied him and his fellow POWs permission to hold a church service. His actions later led to his informal appointment as prisoner chaplain. One “lesson,” a term he preferred over sermon, concerned the prisoners’ fate, McCain recalls: “We were doing Caesar’s work when we got into prison, so we should ask for God’s help to do the right thing....”

Interesting, a insight into the man:

The prisoners had developed a tap code system for communicating through the walls. Through that tapping, “we decided we needed to be all on the same sheet of music at least one time during the week,” Swindle said.

The prisoners decided that every Sunday, after they had eaten their rice, the highest-ranking officer would cough loudly and say the letter ‘c’ for church. The prisoners would then say the Pledge of Allegiance, the Lord’s Prayer and the 23rd Psalm. The psalm was said in plural: “Yea, though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death we will fear no evil.”

Prisoners used diarrhea pills mixed with cigarette ash—or charcoal or dirt—to write lines of Scripture and surreptitiously share them

" The salaries of the consultants may be a big reason why Obama is now going this route. From the looks of it, he's close to having blown his massive fundraising take on the largest campaign infrastructure ever employed by a Presidential Campaign. And now, two months out from the election, his funding well maybe running dry -

Yup.. part of that spending was on those fake hollow Styrofoam columns....
Obama's campaign is nothing but hot air.

Funny, I thought going after people based on race, age or gender was supposed to be a bad thing. I don’t imagine this would open up any bell curve stereotyping—too bad.

The overhead of his campaign and the number of people he has hired would make for a good campaign ad by itself.

300 foreign policy people?

At some point I am reminded of one of my favorite “demotivational posters”.
