Flechette! Goblins on the left - fire! Michelle Obama: Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed. Get your nose out of my business, Michelle. I am involved, I am informed. You just may not like how I'm involved and how I perceive my information. Shed my cynicism? Up to Senator... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/gunner_flechett.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/gunner_flechett.html Thu, 21 Feb 2008 10:43:16 -0600 Comment from Mike Daley on 2008-02-21 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcikXH_Cwfs More totally unrelated, I'm making my infamous spaghetti and meatballs, just ran out of oregeno. Suggested replacement? Please! The next time I pay attention to the 2008 Presidential campaign will be election day November, 2008!- ]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/gunner_flechett.html#comment-69984 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/gunner_flechett.html#comment-69984 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 18:33:51 -0600 Comment from Murray on 2008-02-21 We've already got one of those here. We're about to burn her at the stake. Take it as a warning America, socialism sucks puss. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/gunner_flechett.html#comment-69978 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/gunner_flechett.html#comment-69978 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 14:37:48 -0600 Comment from kat-missouri on 2008-02-21 Hiya, Bill! I was thinking of that speech: Ladies and Jellyspoons, I come before you to stand behind you And tell you something I know nothing about http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/gunner_flechett.html#comment-69977 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/gunner_flechett.html#comment-69977 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 13:10:34 -0600 Comment from Pogue on 2008-02-21 Hey Bill!, Did the French repair those revetments at Ali yet? (They were under warranty...)

IMHO, your hubby's Party elites and their outriders pretty much have the lock on that, m'dear. And they do a pretty fair job of putting down the smaller units, too. Such as USMC Recruiting detachments. BTW, hiya from the Ali al Salem LSA, kidlets. If I had an Mi-2, I'd a-been upcountry by now -- does e-Bay take dinars? ]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/gunner_flechett.html#comment-69969 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/gunner_flechett.html#comment-69969 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 11:32:19 -0600 Comment from Trias on 2008-02-21 Uninformed. Indeed Obama's platform seems to be about uninformation. What's that quote about talking all day without actually saying anything? http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/gunner_flechett.html#comment-69968 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/gunner_flechett.html#comment-69968 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 11:31:45 -0600 Comment from John of Argghhh! on 2008-02-21 It does, it does indeed! I am obviously a glass half-empty to your glass half-full! Brava! http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/gunner_flechett.html#comment-69966 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/gunner_flechett.html#comment-69966 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 11:30:45 -0600 Comment from bad cat robot on 2008-02-21 Barack Obama will require you to work. No more welfare. Poorhouses will be built, complete with corporal punishment for slackers.
He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism.
No more claiming conservatives delight in oppressing minorities/foreigners/polar bears without documented proof. Any newspaper that prints the words "only went to Iraq for the oil" will be shuttered, burned, and salt strewn on the smoking wreckage.
That you put down your divisions.
We are gathered here to mourn the passing of identity politics and affirmative action.
That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones.
You will be required to have friends with different political views than your own. If you have none, the Politburo will issue you some.
That you push yourselves to be better.
We don't care how you feel about it, what's the right answer to that math problem? Self-esteem doesn't build bridges or cure cancer. No literacy, no diploma.
And that you engage.
The Enemy. Always attack into an ambush. There, doesn't that make you feel better? ;-) ]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/gunner_flechett.html#comment-69965 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/gunner_flechett.html#comment-69965 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 11:26:22 -0600
