Holy Shit. Who knew bush was a Democrat?????
I sure didn't.

But damn. Every repubican on the air is talking about changing "Warshington" (anybody know where the 'r' comes from?) and ending the problems there. Then they talk about how different Johnny is from bush. Then they talk about how bad the Democrats are. Then bush. Then Democrats.

Can you say "Conflation?"

Can you **do** conflation?

Repubicans can.

1. It's as if they've washed away eight years
with a wave of McWar's hand. The worst part is that they actually believe they can sell this bullshit. As Obama said they own these eight years.

2. McCain is pushing the change a bit too far
Stories about what he will say tonight say he's going to "offer an advance warning to the old, big-spending, do-nothing, me-first, country second Washington crowd"

Does he not care or not realize he has been part of this crowd 20+ years. It amazes me how many times I have listened to them and thought "Do they realize how stupid that sounds?"

3. Warshington is a regionalism.
I grew up in PA warshing my hands, warshing the car, and learning that Warshington is the capital of the US. I thought it was a central PA/PA Dutch thing but I've learned that it's a broader area than that. I don't know how broad though.

As for conflation, they do that well. They also do cognitive dissonance well.

4. Hey I was amazed to find out by listening/watching to KRON in San Francisco
That the Democratic governor of Louisiana was responsible for the loss of life and horrible situation after Katrina.

But now that the Louisianans have a Republican governor, everything is hunky dorey!!

I could have saved some years of my life if I had only earlier realized how wonderful these Republicans are!!

6. Sparkly's had to climb up my ass several times the last few days
I scream obscenities at the teevee.

The dogs cower.

Sparkly glares ..... then shuts me up.

Ten minutes later ...... same thing all over again.

7. LOL! Me too!
My cats are so tired of me yelling at the screen,
they take off as soon as the convention starts.

The humans here just tell me to "calm down!"

:rofl: :hi:
