Haters
President McCain
will be on my teevee yet again on Sunday.
It dawned on me this morning - I don't give a shit any more about those people who refuse to admit that they lost the election last year. Seriously, bored with them, annoyed with them - fuck them.

discussing that the Lonely Guy Killer was particularly incensed
over
1) "The president is a Ni*CLANG*", naturally, and
2) black men in general getting the "hos" to which he felt entitled?

Sotomayor Confirmed By Senate
You LOST, Thugs.
You lost on the stimulus. You lost on C4C. You lost on Franken. You lost on Sotomayor. You LOST.
