Cats and dogs exchanging bodily fluids in the streets
Inexplicably, the old man speaks from the wires. It is true, crazy, or worthless? Heck if I know:
Ralph Nader, the consumer advocate and perennial third-party presidential candidate, announced last month that he would work to find a Democrat to challenge President Barack Obama in 2012.
Nader now says that a primary challenge is a near certainty …
Much confusion follows. It emerges that Nader will not run again. That the challenger may be an “ex-governor” or “an intellectual” or “environmental” leader.
The upshot seems to be that the debt ceiling catastrophe and subsequent market drop have contributed to the certainty of a challenge.
I’m scratching my head on who would actually be better than the president? Who, exactly, in 2011 America is an “intellectual” or “environmental” leader that doesn’t make 90 percent of the population go, “Huh?”
What ex-governor? Ed Rendell? Hah-hah.
The speculation invites a laugh riot in the same way the current GOP hopefuls do. Let’s see if we can come up with our own John Huntsmans and Thad McCotters.

Which leads me to wonder that the Firebaggers live in a bizarro world as fantastic as the one inhabited by the teabaggers.

Firebagger. Ha. That’s the first time I’ve heard that although it only took me a minute to make the connection. Boy, I’m out of it.
