Labor Day is now National Empty Chair Day - Page 2

Foolish old men who do not know when it is time to retreat and shut up. In Germany Peter Scholl-Latour and Helmut Schmidt whom I both held in high esteem for long time, but today just find ridiculous, and in America currently Clint Eastwood. He did not make himself a favour with that hilarious mumble stunt.

Old men like these just wear out like old shoes and do not realise when their brain desintegrates. You see it and are disgusted by the sight. But they themselves still consider themselves to be absolutely indispensible.

We all become old and wear out. The trick is to know when to retreat behind the stage curtain - AND STAY THERE.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the state of American politics.

Here's a small overview of politics inspired by a picture I posted in the funnies thread.

With all the political bickerign in GT the last few days, I just wanted to show you with this simple slideshow, that anyway you look at it, you're screwed like a helicopter.

A republican voter if Obama wins

A democratic voter if Obama wins

A republican voter if Romney wins

A democratic voter if Romney wins

Simple

My Guy is not the best choice available, but he's the best we could come up with on a moment's notice, or with a year of diligent searching. If My Guy is elected he will accomplish little if anything at all, but at least he will keep the Hoards Of Evil at bay, or maybe just make me feel good that My Side won this time.

Their Guy is the devil incarnate. If he is (re) elected he will drive the country into economic and moral ruin and cause the death of everything We hold dear. He doesn't understand what The Founders meant and hates The Constitution.

A fine example of modern political rhetoric:

Forgive me for being an ignorant foreigner, Mr. S., but shouldn't you have added somewhere in there: "By the way, I'm an open minded, fair and balanced independent and think both parties are full of crooks"?

Sailor Steve · 09-04-12, 01:06 PM

You really are an ignorant foreigner, Mr. H., or you would have observed by now that the correct statement is "By the way, I'm an open minded, fair and balanced independent, but Their Guy is WAY worse than My Guy!"

^ Steve, your couch looks very comfortable, so I guess you had a hard time to get them to leave, your home

Well I've gained a few kilograms since I joined Subsim....

I sue Steve for making me fat.

150 million dollars should suffice.

Sailor Steve · 09-04-12, 02:40 PM

Schroeder, if I ever have that much money, I promise...I'll spend whatever it takes to make you disappear forever.

Adjusted for inflation, that's like $150.

nikimcbee · 09-04-12, 02:55 PM

Anywhoo, none of those historic photos were of the bamster, because there was no telepromter infront of the chair.

nikimcbee · 09-04-12, 02:57 PM

Now that's just bully, McBee. Triple post. woot woot.

It's inflation that's the problem, that's what's been making Schroeder fat!
