Kerry narrows VP to two

[angus]

Great user name.  ¡qué sabroso!

Nothing I love better than a serial killer with style.  Are you familiar with the character "Macheath" from The Beggar's Opera?  That guy was one smooth operator!

[angus]

any name which brings to mind blood or meat is welcome!

[angus]

don't worry.  the dems call you a jerk.  the republicans think you're a weirdo.  I get the same response to most of my posts too.  I prefer prostitute killers to terrorists, but that's just a personal preference.  Joseph Wambaugh writes good killer novels.  Are you Joseph?

Anyway, welcome, KarlostheJackal.  


     Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
      And it shows them pearly white
      Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe
      And he keeps it ... out of sight.
 
      Ya know when that shark bites, with his teeth, babe
      Scarlet billows start to spread
      Fancy gloves, though, wears old MacHeath, babe
      So there's nevah, nevah a trace of red.
 
      Now on the sidewalk, one sunny mornin' uh, huh
      Lies a body just oozin' life,
      And someone'sneakin' 'round the corner
      Could that someone be Mack the Knife?
 
      There's a tugboat ... down by the river don'tcha know
      Where a cement bag's just a'droopin' on down
      Oh, that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear
      Five'll get ya ten old Macky's back in town.
 
      Now, d'ja hear 'bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe
      After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash
      And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor
      Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?
 
       Now  Jenny Diver, ho, ho yeah Sukey Tawdry      
      Ooh Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
      Oh, the line forms on the right, babe
      Now that Macky's back in town.
 
      Aah I said Jenny Diver, whoa Sukey Tawdry
      Look out to Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
      Yes, that line forms on the right, babe
      Now that Macky's back in town!

[angus]

alright DAKOTAS, cant a man have a spliff

fire it up, hoss.  

[angus]

yeah, baby.  that's my kind of irreverence.  watch it, you'll get a nasty warning from Liep if you're not careful.

Believe me, I know.


Tell 'em Feingold will win wisconsin by about 20 points.  Feingold has no coattails, though.  And sure enough none long enough to carry Kerry.

[angus]

Feingold will be elected by like 15%.  The winner of Wisco9nsin will be determined by what time it starts snowing on Nov 2.

That's good.  That's what the talking heads on CNN and Fox say too.  Bad weather seems to be a greater distraction for democrats.

[angus]

The choice will be made in weeks privately depending on how kerry fairs in missouri, iowa, wisconsin, ohio and pennslyvannia.

and I forgot to make a relevant comment, so here goes:

This isn't news.  A fourth-grader with cable TV knows this.

The Hillary bit was intriguing.  I'll assume you trust your sources, but can you elaborate?  How does she 'neutralize' the New York GOP?

[angus]

I still think it's a fantastic name!

[angus]

Old MacHeath could sure tell the boys from the girls.  

[angus]

Ben,
As I recall, Mr. and Mrs. Vilsack made different endorsements in the Iowa caucus.  The Governor endorsed Dean, originally, and she endorsed Kerry.  Senator Harkin endorsed Kerry too.  Turns out Mrs. Vilsack's endorsement won.  Of course old Tom came off that endorsement pretty quickly after Howard Dean's post-caucus 'speech'

I can't decide what hurt dean more, the scream or the Al Gore endorsement.  Both seemed pretty damning.  

Stick with John Edwards.  He has such beautiful hair.

[angus]

I think Senator Lieberman was really peeved, and rightfully so.

But that's all water under the bridge now, I think.  

[angus]

nah, just faulty memory.  I do recall something on CNN about Christie and Gov. Vilsack having different favorites, though.  But yes, now I remember it was Harkin who ended up looking a bit foolish.

Also, I had a friend who had a Carolina Terrapin turtle named Lazarus.  Kerry reminds me very much of that turtle.  

[angus]

ever see Mulan?  or M. Butterfly?

I suspect that trick is much easier to pull off when you can hide behind the anonymity of the internet.

Many, I'd guess.  

[angus]

watch your mouth!  I'm a man.  I put my picture up there too, just like you did on MarkDel's 'off-topic' question about what we look like.  (though I wasn't brave enough to put my ole' lady like you did, you stud.)

And yes, I am just suspicious enough about these things that the post was serious.  but who cares?  

[angus]

did KarlostheJackyl disappear?  he didn't come back after the discussion took a turn for the weird.  maybe the mean democrats scared him off.

[angus]

okay, guess I was the only one who liked him.  I think it was his name that I really liked.  Not much else.  But what a great name.

I also was the only one who liked totallyfabgayboi.  Remember him?  I thought he was a mischevious little queer just having fun at Liep's expense.  Turns out he was this nutty homophobic troll.  Man, I need to become better at picking out the jokers.

Now, CTguy I never liked.
