Quotes

When people criticise the 1990s I ask my self what part they didn't like - the peace or the prosperity?
 - Hillary Clinton

For Obama freedom of speech is precious until you criticise him. After he leaves the fetal position he'll find a word in what you say he can pluck to call you a racist. I actually labour over words that might give someone an opening to call me racist when I'n not even thinking about race. There's a whole list of words I can't use anymore. For example the word 'colourful'. What the hell country am I living in anyhow? A rabid preacher can say GOD DAMN AMERICA and I can't say 'colourful'?

The guy's gotta sing. He has to be able to do it. If he says his voice won't hold for a song we have to let him decide. It's always been like that. Charlie and I are a safety net for Mick. Sometimes he's far far away on the end of the stage somewhere, he gets the beat all wrong, and he starts singing in some kind of Chinese musical scale - Charlie and I look at each other and we fix it.
 - Keith Richards

Give me the politics of the past any day of the week. At least I felt safe. Barack Obama is like a frightful nightmare upon us. I'm even afraid to publish this post. Where did we go? I thought George Bush was frightening. He's a comfort next to the fear being generated right now.

Emacs is a great OS. It does pretty much everything. All it lacks is a decent text editor.
 - 'Akaihiryuu'

I am very resistant to use a browser which its community seems to call my platform (which is Unix 03 certified) and me 'Mactard' or 'beige box idiot' in some extreme cases.

DO NOT COVER THIS HOLE.

It's always been said men age gracefully and women fall apart at the seams the older they get. You know men get more distinguished as their hair gets gray and women try everything in their power to fight it, whether it's with dye jobs, plastic surgery, or intense workouts. They try to keep things interesting by becoming dirtier in bed and easier to get into bed but it doesn't change the fact their tits aim to the ground and their vaginas dry up. But there are always exceptions to every rule and Morgan Fairchild makes post-menopausal unprotected sex an amazing bonus instead of a reason why you're getting into bed with someone's grandmother. Sure the bitch has a bit of a muff gut going on but I wish a muff gut was all my wife had instead of a buried vagina I don't remember seeing since the last time she made me play 'Pirate Treasure Hunt' and that took me about two hours to pull off.

You're young, you're drunk, you're in bed, you have knives - shit happens.
 - Angelina Jolie

As part of No Quarter's encouragement campaign many readers mailed Mayor Nutter in support of his courage under harrassment. Their mail was returned by the 'mailer daemon' - the poor guy had to shut down his email servers. So you can imagine how badly he was harrassed by these savages. These people are fear mongers and race baiters. What's next - coming to your home and beating the crap out of you? Lining us up and shooting everyone dead until there are no more anti-Obama people left?

Dear Mr Barrett! As a New Yorker I have read and admired your work for many years. Thanks for writing something reasoned and reasonable the Obama disciples will now shout down and tear apart all over the comments section.
 - 'jhNY'

It's funny but if you read every single comment in this thread all the potentially negative comments about Obama get systematically buried very very quickly. It's almost like his campaign team hired a few kids to just click digg for anything positive about Obama and bury the rest. There are more intelligent negative comments in this thread but they are already buried with -17 and such. However moronic comments like 'oh he so gets it' and 'yay Obama' are already double digit.

It takes a village to raise a child.
 - African proverb

I've never known anyone who bought a Microsoft product because they perceived it as having more features, being easier to use, or being more stable than competing products.
 - 'z80kid'

It appears Obama never kept records of his time in the Illinois state legislature or he discarded them. Either way he clearly intended to leave no paper trail. The more we learn about the him the more obvious it becomes he's anything but the ethically upright outsider he purports to be.
 - Tom Fitton president Judicial Watch

Close, close encounters with wild animals are thrilling, and I've had more than my share. I held someone's pet bat in Ponape. I wrestled with a pair of 14-week-old lion cubs in Johannesburg. I had my hand in a kangaroo's pouch in Sydney. I swam with hammerhead sharks in Maui, stingrays in Cayman Islands, and giant clams in Palau. To visit wild animals in their own milieu, to feel a clumsy foreigner in their domain, like an interloper and a trespasser, is wondrous. Mind-blowing. Jaw-dropping.

It's the devil may care gung-ho attitude from Donny Rumsfeld down that has made the US so universally popular around the world today.
 - Julian Morrow

Obama is our Savior. Barak and Reverend Wright are Right, God Damn america. Now is the time to rally around Barak and Michelle and make them proud! And news flash america, Barak is right, your typical white american is a racist! Obama will apologise to our Muslim brothers for arrogant american policies of hate and slavery. Only Obama can forgive an evil nation founded in slavery. REPARATIONS NOW!
 - Obamamania

And I as an african american women remember the Clintons where very protected and good to our community way before Obama. Bill Clinton even established his presidentail office and non-profits in Harlem. Im sticking with them.
 - Hazel Diane Razheda Moore

All of a sudden you've got two dots and two dots make a line. You start getting some sense of who he is and it's not the Obama you thought - he's not the Tiger Woods of politics.
 - Alex Castellanos

It is clear that Senator Obama has disowned his white half - that he's decided he's got to go all in on the black side.
 - Rush Limbaugh

The underlying message is they are perpetual victims and they enjoy the victim status and by proxy, me as a white person is their victimizer. And as long as we perpetuate these divisions, we will never heal.
 - Pennsylvania voter

The comments of Obama's former pastor prove that deep down Obama is just a black candidate. He may say he wants to transcend racial divisions; he may say he understands the concerns of white people; but when his mask comes off he'll be revealed as just another Sharpton or Malcolm X - those blacks you've come to hate and fear. The path to racial healing, they'll say, is rejecting Obama. As ridiculous as it may sound for some voters that story may be convincing enough.
 - Paul Waldman

Copious media research has demonstrated news programs are more likely to show images of African Americans when they talk about poverty, welfare, and drugs despite the fact most poor people, welfare recipients, and drug users are white.
 - Paul Waldman

Faced with the possibility they might actually lose the White House to a black man there's no doubt what many on the right are preparing to do. Racial reconciliation can wait for another day; there's power at stake. And if stoking racism is what it takes then that's what they'll do.
 - Paul Waldman

Let's just say I'm not all that impressed with Obama's work ethic which seems a lot more talk than action as he seems a lot more interested in titles than the hard work that's required to get something done.
 - Taylor Marsh

I could not disagree more with your comments. In fact they angered me so much I have deinstalled FireFox on my Mac at home and the Macs and PCs at my laboratory. From now on we will use Safari and MSIE.
 - Len Peruski

I have been contributing to the DCC for 20 years. Nancy and Dean will never see another penny of my money. They have hijacked Democracy and are no better than George Bush. And they are just as self-serving and greedy as well. This party does not represent me. I can't wait till Pelosi has her turn. It will come. Then she will remember.
