I thought last week’s episode continued a several-years-long tradition of really solid season premieres. About a 8.5-9 on the belly-laugh meter. Pumped about tonight; retarded comedy, plus Germans, equals potential.

I was sobering up last night at Whataburger in downtown Jackson when several black couples (women wearing the hajib)came in. Then I remembered everyone's favorite Jew-baiter had spoken just down the road.
Reading this story now, I'm struck by this notion: The morons sitting in the audience must have been really confused. One of their icons, trashing Obama as an honorary member of the "gutter religion."

It's both fun and futile to "what-if" an alternate outcome on the Civil War. There are some entertaining "alternate history" books on the subject.
Most scholars, however, would probably argue that slavery wouldn't still be around. Slavery was a long-term economic loser for the planter class in the south.
George Washington saw this coming nearly a century before the WBTS. (See Joe Ellis' "His Excellency.") One of the reasons he freed his slaves through his will was that he had crunched the numbers; over time, owning slaves was a money-loser.
Again, it's just speculation. But even if the South had won, I think slavery would have withered on the vine within 20 years.

If it was wasnt for Rove wed have 8 years of Gore or Kerry.
Thank you. That's about the only comment anybody needs to read in a thread started by a stupid vanity post.
I don't agree with the guy on every single issue. But Jeez Louise, people. Where would we have been without him. He knows how to win elections, and some here are trying to make him into a RINO.
