Is it too much to ask, in this country, for just one honorable election cycle, during my lifetime?

 

[bhsup]

John, it never happened in all the elections before you were born, unless you count the first two. Why do you think it will happen now?

I don't, which I choose to cite whenever someone tries to appeal to my sense of patriotism.

I love how Obama has taken the jacket out of politics to a great extent. Will they dare go the next step and start appearing bare-chested?

 

[Oruc]

Nope!

What I like about the NR image is that both Romney and Ryan are dong the stare-heroically-into-the-future thing, but they're both looking in completely different directions. Quite an accurate comment of the contemporary Republican Party, I think.

[LucyDuke]

Oh, hey, one of the names on that National Review cover is a chick's. Thanks internet.

 

[cegman]

Why 689 reasons? Why not 700, or 600?

Because they came up with more than 600 reasons and ran out of time before reaching 700. Media people have deadlines you know.

[Leoreth]

6+8+9 = 23. Coindence? I think not!

 

[Murky]

Was $689 how much they paid the hack journalist to write the propaganda piece?
