Continuing my Book of Job-style woes — e.g., the antlered jihadi that destroyed my car — today our local Internet provider crashed just as President Obama was beginning his Ohio speech. Through the miracle of Twitter, however, I was able to offer commentary via cell phone:
Between having my car totalled — the insurance company today offered us only about $1,500, which is far less than we owe the finance company — and having to watch Obama give a speech, I’m in a particularly bleak mood now. What’s really depressing is the thought that some percentage of the adult population greater than zero is so intensely stupid as to believe a speech composed chiefly of self-glorification, blame-shifting, naked partisanship, false dilemmas, class warfare and Keynesian claptrap.
Stacy,
I believe that if you check you will find that instead of just paying you for your car, you can require that they REPLACE it with the same make, model,year, etc.
Just a thought.

I feel your pain, Stacy.
I’ve seen this movie before
[…] R.S. McCain Twittered PBO’s speech. […]
“I’m in a particularly bleak mood now. What’s really depressing is the thought that some percentage of the adult population greater than zero is so intensely stupid as to believe a speech”
Bullseye! I’m right there with you. Point #1: the voters of the USA are so shortsighted, self-centered and (intentionally) uneducated that they elected him in the first place. #2, there is likely are rather high percentage of voters who voted for him who would willingly and happily do it again.
Both amazing and depressing to the extreme. How does one educate an ignorant electorate that DOES NOT want to be educated?
You’re getting hosed big time. Edmunds has a bone-stock manual 2004 Kia Optima at just under $3,000 at trade in and almost $4,800 on the dealer lot.
Never Despair.
Never Give In.
WOLVERINES!
