#3 Ah, but we live in a new century now, and the president is not a football fan.

I'd hope the President would have more important things to do, being engaged in a war and all that. Except that no one brought up cancelling the fotball season besides Hunter.

I caught a blurb of a Hunter Thompson on ESPN's SportsCenter last night, and my impression is: he's an addled nitwit whose best years are far, far behind him. Him and Imus are ~~brain~~ dead; they just haven't buried them yet.

#4 Hmmmm...

So, it works like this:

Bush doesn't care for football - Not in touch with America. Unfit to be President.

Bush does care for football - Doesn't he know there's a war on? Unfit to be President.

And that, kids, is sophistication.

#6 You realize the day after the election's happened, and we're dealing with the aftermath of terrorist attacks during the election, and have incomplete results from some areas as a result, they're going to be the FIRST ONES complaining that we need to redo the election, or else it's stolen...

But if someone in government plans for the possibility ahead of time, it's because the republicans are planning to steal the election.

Some conspiracy theorists; they'll believe in anything but the existance of salafist conspiracies. It seems important to them, somehow, to actively disbelieve in them.
