@alorsenfants: I actually do love Newt. I believe that by 2012 (2010 actually) the American people will also love Newt.
President Obama has not learned the lesson that W taught us. The country is either Center-Right or Center-Left depending on perspective. Bush governed from the far right, while abandoning the best part of conservative principals: Fiscal Responsibility. The Republicans paid of this.
President Obama is governing from the far left, while ignoring the best part of liberal principals. If someone can help me out her with one of these, I would appreciate it. Um, Civil Liberties for non-terrorists maybe. Yes, that's a good one. He is ending torture and putting Gitmo in moth balls, but not doing anything about same sex marriage. Incidentally, I am a conservative that does support same sex marriage, but I digress. President Obama is embracing the raise taxes on the diminishing rich and try to spend that money before the Republic is crushed principle. He didn't start this recession, but he is crushing the forward looking stock market. Goodbye 401k.
When Newt is next able to run for President, it will have become apparent that none of these spending packages will have done anything for the middle class masses of American people, but dissolve their pay checks through inflation and taxation. The first sign will be the shift of Congressional seats to Republicans in 2010.
Someone once told me that in the mid 70s to mid 80s, they had extracted THC from pot and made it into little pellets of THC so it was like swallowing 10 joints without the smoke and the rolling or packing or whatever. They called it "T" and there was orange T and blue T and yellow T (I think there was different potencies).
There was also something called Thai Stick and lots of mescaline.
There was no crack and no meth.
Those were the drug days. Can anyone confirm these mythical drugs for me? Please? I want to be nostalgic for something I am too young to remember. Like the end of WWII and Route 66.
I'm really glad Pareene dared to bring up the time loop problem, which started as the major creepy anomaly of unintended results from the bad science experiments of the atomic age. I wondered for a long time why we never got any new fashions and why groundhog day kept coming back all the time. Then I came to a similar realization as Pareene. We went spinning off the main time field and now we are hanging off the end of this dopey side branch of subatomic bogons where nothing new ever happens. Besides the Butterfly Effect and Groundhog Day, we are also living in a Dark City style world of 12 Monkeys, a Terry Gilliam remake of a swell French picture, Le Jetee, by Chris Marker. So when the movies make more sense than the preposterous scenarios unfolding in real life, you can be sure it's a good day to push the cultural Reset button and start over. Argh.
@pufflehuff: Oh nooo! Does this mean we have to drive around in three horse troikas in 6 feet of ice and snow with starving packs of wolves giving us flirtatious glances?
The 80's really sucked, and the 90's weren't much better.
If we're going to be replaying decades, how about the 70's? The music was good, the clothes were fun, and the drugs were righteous (quaaludes!). Plus I enjoyed getting laid on the first date.
If things get bad enough that Newt Gingrich is a viable presidential candidate in 2012, I swear to all that is holy that I am leaving this planet forever, or at least retreating into my bottle city of Kandor.
If we're currently experiencing Crisis on Infinite Earths, the good news is that everyone who has died will soon be alive again, but with different origin stories.
I'd forgotten how repugnant that obnoxious fuck-up Newt Gingrich is, but I'm reminded now. He's sort of like if Mike Huckabee and Dick Cheney accidentally stepped into that teleportation chamber in The Fly at the same time.

Well you could look it up, anybody could -- but do you realize how much credibility we are talking about here?
(Oh.... and I just Love Newt --).
