Final debate open thread

Go to town.  But remember:  you can’t use the word “terrorist.” Unless you’re talking about Teabaggers or social cons, of course.  Then, well, duh.

Six Trillion Dollar Man [Darleen Click]

a protein wisdom preview of tonight’s foreign policy presidential debate

Obama:  “Republicans started two wars and put them on credit cards. Under a Romney administration, we’d be going back to failed policies of the past.  Like the 50s.  When Eisenhower was busy fucking up everything, and there were almost no blacks anywhere to be seen in episodes of ‘Happy Days.’  Except for that one dude named ‘Sticks,’ who played the drums.  Much like the native extras in Tarzan movies, or

“War on women? McCaskill business sued for sexual harassment”

Sure.  But was it legitimate sexual harassment? I mean, c’mon.  We know how catty and vindictive chicks can be, amiright?

“A Cancer at the Center of the Presidency: Robert Roche a Chinese Agent-Of-Influence?”

Really? Because I’d find this absolutely stunning, coming from an Administration that could not be more pro-free market republicanism.  Breitbart: On August, 19, 2011, during the heat of the Obama Administration’s trade negotiations with China, Vice President Joe Biden huddled with his top trade advisors at the St. Regis Hotel in Beijing, China. One seat away from Mr. Biden sat Robert Roche. Mr. Roche is a mysterious figure, an American

“Sandra Fluke Obama campaign rally draws about 10 people”

Interestingly, at least 6 of them — college students from the University of Nevado, Reno — showed up thinking that, in exchange for a fistful of rubbers and the 12 pack of Bacardi Breezers they toted with them to the pro-Obama rally, “we’d probably, you know, get some.” — Which, who knows, maybe they did.  Guess that’d keep the day from being a total bust for Fluke — who seems

“A Red Carpet for Radicals at the White House”

Part of being a Good Man is opening your doors to a diverse set of thinkers and activists. After all, one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter — just as American exceptionalism is, at base, no different from Greek exceptionalism: it’s all a matter of context, and things like good and evil can’t be properly defined given their dependency on circumstance and who presumes to pass those kinds of

“Political ad TV party: Obama loves ‘2 Broke Girls.’ Romney? ‘Andy Griffith.'”

Well, Obama does keep saying Romney wants to take us back to the 50s. Of course, that kind of indictment loses its sting when your own advertising is seemingly aimed at the product of your first four years — and further serves as a kind of metaphor for your entire administration. War on women? Pshaw. I mean, they may be broke, but I suspect they’re getting plenty of dick thanks

DENY! DENY! DENY! [Darleen Click]

Ladies and gentlemen, The Obama Administration: For much of the past four years, the Obama administration’s propensity for asserting views of reality wildly at odds with those evident to most rational citizens has looked increasingly like a page from that film script. All administrations conceal, falsify and tell lies—this is understood—but there’s no missing the distinctive quality of the prevaricating issuing from the White House in these four years. It’s
