Here's a fun example of an "undecided":

Quote:
Sheen, of Lincoln, Nebraska, says his vote is coming down to one issue: abortion. Sheen says he's "definitely pro-life" and he's trying to decide whether Democrat Barack Obama or Republican John McCain is more in line with his views.
God save our nation if it comes down to geniuses like these.

Hey I came up with Obamoonies some time last May, on this very board! That's my line and it was clever dammit! myboynoah gave me props so your scorn means nothing to me. Nothing!

BTW, I have a fun family joke you can start using. Whenever you disagree with the church on an issue, you can say that you're just spending Tuesdays with Morrie.

In reverse order, the Morrie comment was excellent and I intend to misappropriate it without attribution. Which leads to your first comment... Have I told you about our firm's excellent practice in the field of copyright infringment? I'd be willing to take the case against Tex. By familial edict, we offer discounted fees to Carbon County natives.

And btw, most plays on names range from anywhere okay to awesome, the first time. But the half-life of their utility can typically be measured in nanoseconds, exUte's delightful misspelling of Ohbama notwithstanding.

I appreciate the offer, but I respectfully decline. Tex and I are fellow souljas in the righteous battle against Barbara Gordon.

It's really sad how politics has turned everybody except for me into a bit of a jerk. And I must say, it's tempting to fight back, to be dragged down by my opponents, to participate in politics as usual. But I refuse to resort to partisan mudslinging. I refuse to allow others to use personal attacks in an attempt to distract from the real issues facing Cougarguard.

I could, like YOhio has in this post, use partisan rhetoric in an attempt to splinter this fine board -- to separate us into blue and red, Cougar and Ute, Mormon and gentile, JD and MD. But not me. No, I like to think I follow the example of Barack in serving as a truly unifying figure for the board. After all, we are the ones we've been waiting for.

Hm... from the way I look at things, McCain has to win Virginia if he's going to have a good shot at winning. The way Virginia goes, the election goes imo.

I laugh every single time I hear Paul Begala referred to as "The Forehead."

Oh, we haven't even gotten started. In the face of PAC protestations, I plan to be as shallow as possible:

Obamoonies, Obamaniacs, Obamanation, Obamanormative, etc.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
