@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

I think this one is a bit more damning.

Wow Grand Wizard Doctor Paul. Just WOW.

After posting this on my Facebook I have a rabid Ron Paul supporter linking me to his PR department's videos screaming that "HE'S NOT RACIST!!"

And apparently I take all of my facts from MSNBC. Hah, typical Paulian.

Obama.

S'felt like the general consensus here is that Obama's probably going to take another four years, mostly because the republican candidates are utterly destroying themselves/are near-complete filth of one sort or another.

Hell, I can almost see support for the theory that the republican party has intentionally sabotaged their chances at getting a president in. Maybe they think they'll have a better chance getting legislature through under Obama than they would with (probably) better than half the voting constituency up in arms about whichever madman that wins the republican primary managing presidency.

I'm pretty sure a lot of people would be a lot less alert with Obama in power again than if one the current candidates managed it, really. It sorta' makes sense.

Though, of course, beware attributing malignancy to what can be attributed to incompetence, and all that. Most of the upper half or so of America's wealth bracket seems to be pretty damned disconnected with the lower half (Which makes up a majority of the population, iirc.), so maybe they really are that blind. Eh. We'll see how things go, anyway.

Indeed. I also think Obama is going to win. The Republican know they would have a very hard time of it, and even if they did win then they would have full control, and at this point they seem to be basing themselves on fucking everything up so they can blame the Democrats. (Not that the Democrats are a heck of a lot better) So if they actually did manage to take power then they could no longer do that. I am expecting another four years of fuck witlessness followed by them putting up some actual candidates.

Obama.
Ditto. I feel like the GOP doesn't really want to win, because seriously....who the fuck wants to inherit the hot mess that is America? Even Obama is asking that.  :P

I am absolutely terrified that Obama won't win.

I am also incredibly annoyed there isn't someone more effective or liberal than Obama that has a chance of winning.

I'm putting my money on Obama, because all the Republicans are either completely charismaless or unsellable to the swing voters.

There's actually a fair amount of history behind this idea. Go Google "Knights of the Golden Circle." It's been a Southern fantasy since before the Civil War to conquer all the island chains and Cuba. There's even a legend of buried treasure, thrown in there for good measure.

Why do you think it's racist today but were backing up the "states rights" side of things yesterday?

I'm not seeing the potential contradiction? What do you mean?
