To be honest, Talk Like A Pirate Day wasn't that much fun this year so 2009 can only be better. Sort of like the economy, I Hope.

b.atkinson- you gotta get over this Messiah thing. It's offensive to many religious people, and it makes you sound like a moron.

If you want to be a Pirate go to Gasparilla in Tampa!!! The party falls the weekend between the AFC/NFC Championship games and the Super Bowl. Complete blast!!!!!!

CORRECTION - This year Gasparilla is the week after the Super Bowl (Feb 7, 2009) probably because the SB is in Tampa.

pagoda -Please leave b.atkinson alone. I look foward to him confirming that he is a moron with every word that he posts. A true mental giant and sad, sick, depressing loser of a character, if there ever was one. The idiot is still in love with the Bush admin. What more do you ahve to know about his grasp on reality.

batty - Please, share with us where you read or saw that all problems would go away when Obama was elected (other than whiny conservative blogs lamenting well in advance why they expected to be relegated to the wilderness after Nov 4th). Please. I'm sure, with such a liberal media, you can point us to a wealth of articles to backup up your verbal diahrrea.

B.tach with Bush Derangement Syndrome in full effect. That's the effect of watching "your" party violate every important guiding principle over eight years while you slavishly defend every aspect of it - you wind up so detached from reality you think your position in the marginalized minority makes you somehow important. You're not. The whole world is laughing!

North philly: Where did you get the idea that liberals are angry? We are quite happy thank you that the Bush era is coming to a close. By the way, referring to a person as the Messiah is an insult not to Obama (I'd be flattered to be called that wouldn't you if it wasn't sarcastic) but to religious people everywhere. Obama is just a man. Frankly, he probably will have big problems trying to fix what Bush is leaving him. At first, he will not have much success (this is not an apology before hand), but we are hopeful as everyone should be that he will ultimately succeed. If he succeeds it will be for the benefit of all Americans, not just liberals. Give him a chance.

The world will respect us now, batty. They realize that we have an intelligent man coming into the WH, not some silver spoon cowboy who cares for nothing. Looking forward to being a respected country again.

Everyone who post here can rest easy - there will be no jobs for any of us in an Obama administration - our posting on this blog in and of itself - this has to qualify as writing anything that could be embarassing to the BHO administration.

"Talking point sleuth is a coward."......Could be, but one thing we can be sure of is that he is a liberal toady.

Talking point sleuth
"Because as wee all know....I cannot sleep at night without knowing that the French and Germans "respect" me.......how insecure........---}}} You seem to miss the point, Idiot. The point isn't whether anyone in France might or might not respect you. Although I highly doubt that any of them would ever respect you, it was never a question of whether they respect the American people. They have, they do, and they will in the future. The question is whether they respect the man that is the American president. The last eight years they didn't - which had negative ramifications for our ability to achieve foreign policy goals. They will now that we have an adult about to take office.
