First, I want to stress that I am not at all nervous about the election. The sun will come up in the east no matter which candidates win, and no matter which propositions pass, and there will still be music and root vegetables and the glint of sunshine on the water. Politics is not everything - unless you live in a country that gets invaded by another much larger country that bombs your house and forces you into a refugee camp. Then politics matters.
But who is more powerful than us? No one! Well, OK, China, and probably Russia, and technically the European Union. But still, it's just an election. And I'd rather you didn't talk about it right now.
No, wait, tell me everything. What have you heard? But don't tell me that Obama's really far ahead, because that would be conventional wisdom and conventional wisdom is often wrong and there would be talk of the McCain Miracle. Oh God no.
But don't tell me Obama's behind, either. Sometimes polls are wrong, but mostly they are not wrong, and if he's behind, then probably he's going to lose, and then I would have to move to Canada and hide in my daughter's basement in Montreal. Because I could not take four more years of Republicans. Could not. William Kristol alone would drive me crazy. Next Wednesday, I want to see William Kristol rolling on the floor in agony.
Metaphorically, of course. I wish no ill to any man - except George Bush. Him, I wish ill to. Ill ill ill, George Bush!

Sounds like a threat to the President of the United States to me.
IDIOT!

I'm sure his mom wouldn't mind the extra basement space if he moved out.
Gotta love how the Left reaches across the aisle and seeks unity.
Zot, I wish all these creeps would just LEAVE this country. He probably said this before the last two elections, too, but he’s still here. LEAVE, commie scum!
Mr. Carroll is poorly informed indeed if he thinks China or Russia is more powerful than the US.
Aside from that, he seems to be a meathead.
Holy smokes, is this a dude talking? What is he supposed to be some kind of intellectual? I’m embarrassed for the guy...
When I was a kid, we would call another kid that acted like this a titty baby!
Can you imagine living with this guy?
~shudder~
He's nervous as hell.
My sentiments exactly.
Two of his paid friends.
Really, my mother would smack him across the room. I’ll bet he’s still here because his daughter won’t let him move to Montreal.
And the European Union??? The guy is on crack. Actually, he may be!!!
Jon Carrol used to be the Chronicle’s TV columnist. Then they made him some sort of human interest columnist. Now he’s a Morford wannabe.
I can’t believe anyone pays for that drivel.
“I wish no ill to any man - except George Bush. Him, I wish ill to. Ill ill ill, George Bush!”
I wish you would just go ahead and move to Canada. And take a bunch of other lefty loonies with you.
