   As a resident of Roanoke, let me say that this photo is part of a wonderful smear campaign our local paper initiated. “The Powers That Be” decided that the only route through the city leading to the nearby town of Vinton needed to be made nearly unnavigable in the name of “Traffic Calming.” Never mind that Vinton has long been a thorn in the side of our Lords and Masters due to their lower tax rates and it’s tendency to pull anyone with two nickels to rub together in an effort to flee the draconian taxes and policies of Roanoke proper.

   The Roanoke Times promptly answered the call and dropped in on one of the poorest sections of town and found the most unsympathetic opponents to the calming that they could. (Missing is the shot of the shirtless, snaggle-toothed bum who was worried that the project would pull the cars he was begging from away from his favorite corner.)

   Stalin would have been proud.

   Hehheh… it’s always amazing how political newspapers are. And how people who read it either see it blatantly or never notice it at all.

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight; nothing he cares about more than his own personal safety; is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

-- John Stuart Mill

Obama picking Biden for his VP is:
• The event that made conservatives hear the Hallelulah Chorus at 3am, fortelling a devastating Democrat loss this year.
• Not a great pick, but should help the campaign.
• The best ... uhh... sorry, can't think of any liberal who would have high praise for the man that could only garner like 1% of the dem vote in his own campaign.
