Unless you have a better idea, that's what we're stuck with. And yes, I'd rather have the "non-complete moron' in that top spot.

However, you would need to define jackass for me to comment on that assessment. Also, is your objective to point out that there is no difference between left and right, or that Obama sucks as Bush sucked and they all suck and will, forevermore, suck?

Intelligence and eloquence mean a whole hell of a lot for the 'leader of the free world', in my opinion.

Otherwise, let's throw Gilbert Gottfried in there and see what happens.

Hey: you wanna slave yourself to the High Priest of the Church of the Left, have at it.

Me: all I'm stuck with is the continuing job of navigating quietly through, around, and under the swamp generated by the High Priest and his acolytes.

Yes, so he can bleed you faster, more efficiently...make no mistake: that's the only real difference here.

"define jackass"


As a catch-all it can mean a lot...as used here: anyone with the balls to presume he or she can shape my life or 'me' in ways I haven't agreed to, is a jackass.

One: the president is not the leader of the free world (there is no 'free' world, and, if there was, the president would not be the leader of it).

Two: the president is only supposed to be the head of the executive branch, bound by the constitution to certain duties and powers.

The president is not a king.

Better yet: why not return the presidency to its proper place in the structure of proxy-hood as outlined by the constitution?

I put it in "quotation marks" to show that I know it's not a correct phrase, but it is one that has been used a lot before.

Yes, I read the link. It's all the same, they're all the same...blah blah blah.

I am not High Priestess of the Left, I am Queen Goddess of the Planet. Oh, and Co-Strawberry Festival Queen.

No. I believe you missed the point of the piece.

It's not an indictment of the current president; it's an indictment of the office itself, the way the office has bloated, and -- obliquely -- the piece is an indictment of an electorate that has allowed, even promoted, the dis-embedding to the presidency from its proper place.

"I put it in "quotation marks" to show that I know it's not a correct phrase, but it is one that has been used a lot before."

Then why use the phrase at all? If you 'know' it's an error why promote the error via use?

I liked the turn of phrase, the way it just rolls off the tongue, or the fingers...

Now, I leave this thread to those who can argue about such things without feeling so pissed off they might throw up.

HA!

No worries: as a whole, this is all just harmless, useless, meaningless, fun.

It only matters if you want it to... ;)
