		<description>Brain wizard,

Here's a job for you today.  Research the definition of "ironical."

See if you can use that word in my question to Bob.

You're right on top of things.  I think the name fits well.

You were posting pretty late last night.  Must have been break time at White Castle.</description>

And you think with the majority?  I thought the world was stupid except for you? I don't give two fucks about the tribs success or your opinions. You just don’t realize it yet. Perhaps you never will.</description>

		<description>Bob,

Who do you think McCain will select?



Brain wizard,  you just don't get it,  do you?

This paper is in ruins because of it's moronic thinking.  They rely on people like you to determine their success,  but we both know you don't have the brain power or financial means to make them succeed.  You see,  you are in the minority with your thinking.  You just don't realize it yet.  Perhaps you never will.</description>

		<description>Bob,

Does the Strib site moderate posts?

I'm not sure "fuck"  should be allowed on a public blog site (see above.)

		<description>Obama Modifies ‘Yes We Can’ Message To Exclude Area Loser

ASSOCIATED PRESS
Last Update: August 27, 2008 - 10:20 AM

COLUMBIA, SC—In a nationally televised speech Friday, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama altered his vision of a unified America to exclude Minnesota loser Robert Grant.
According to Obama, the 32-year-old Grant, who has lived with his parents intermittently since receiving his associate’s degree in 2001 and still does not have a credit card in his own name, no longer figures into the senator’s long-term plan of rallying Americans from all walks of life around a common, higher purpose.
“People of South Carolina, people of the world, this is our time, this is our moment,” Obama said before 72,000 supporters at the University of South Carolina’s Williams-Brice Stadium. “That is, unless you live in apartment 3L at 1254 Lyndale Ave., you watched Money Train on TBS last night at 3 a.m., and your name is Robert Grant.”
An excerpt from Obama’s speech draws on his message of unity-minus-one.
“I have always said that the change we seek will not come easy, that it will not come without its share of sacrifice and struggle,” Obama continued. “And the last thing we need is dead weight like Robert Grant adding another 20 or 30 years to the process.”
The speech, entitled “A More Perfect Union Minus Robert Grant,” was 26 minutes long and contained the words “change” 12 times, “hope” 16 times, and “Robert,” in conjunction with the phrase “with the exception of,” 34 times.
Although Obama remained vague on issues such as health care and foreign policy, the Illinois senator was praised for finally publicly addressing the issue of Nate Walsh. Obama took a hard-line stance on Grant, calling the part-time driving-range employee the lone aspect of America he doesn’t believe in, a citizen who can languish in the past for all he cares, and “on top of everything else, kind of a jerk.”
“When I began this campaign, my mission was to help this nation share my vision for one America—not a black America, or a white America, or a Latino or Asian America,” Obama said. “But now what I see, what I envision, is a Robert-free America. And once we get rid of that guy, there is nothing we can’t accomplish. Nothing we can’t achieve.”
According to campaign strategist David Axelrod, Grant’s failure to remember his mother’s birthday five years in a row, along with the fact that for the entire month of July he washed his hair with a bar of soap because he was too lazy to purchase shampoo, are examples of the kind of hopelessness Obama is trying to avoid.
“I am reminded of an instance early last year when Robert told his sister, Elizabeth, that he was going to start going to the gym three times a week after work,” Obama said. “I was rooting for Robert. I thought that this time things would be different. That this time Robert would be capable of change. But it was just like 1997, 1999, 2000, and 2002 all over again. He went to the gym twice and quit.”
“What a loser,” Obama added.
In the hours following the speech, members of the McCain camp scrambled to respond to Obama’s views on Grant. In a statement last night, McCain applauded Obama’s position on the loser, but criticized him for not offering any real solutions to the Robert Grant problem. McCain went on to promise that, if elected, he would rid the world of Grant within his first 48 hours in office without raising taxes.
Perhaps the most stirring moment of Obama’s speech came at its conclusion, when he reasserted his call for change on the part of everyone except Grant, whom he urged to just change the channel to the Golden Girls marathon on Lifetime like he knows he wants to.
“People of America, not Robert, we have the ability to heal this nation,” Obama said. “Yes we can, Robert excluded, seize our future. Yes we can, with the exception of Robert and his stupid cargo shorts that he never washes, turn the page to a new tomorrow. I am confident that where we—and by ‘we’ I mean everyone but Robert—are met with cynicism and doubt and fear and those who tell us that we can’t, we—again, not Robert—will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of the American people in six simple words: Yes we can, Robert Grant.”
Added Obama: “God bless the people of South Carolina, God bless America, and fuck you, Robert.”</description>
