Like JJ wandering around Paris, TX with an empty gallon jug
The Democratic measures alienate Republicans, and the Republican measures look like more of the same. There is no maverick ideology that voters can get behind, and there's no way of predicting just what a maverick is going to say next.
That's the problem when you reject the brand of your party, and it leaves McCain and Palin in this late stage of the campaign wandering around the mesa like two unbranded calves - mavericks all alone and lost.

The Bluster: ""We cannot tolerate our Marseillaise being jeered"
The Reality: Oh but you can, and you will.
Heck, if they're gonna stop play every time "Youths" jeer La Marsellaise France will be enjoying a renaissance in chess and fourth rate Left Bank beret fashion shows.

Spreading the wealth, pinko style
During an Obama campaign stop in Ohio, a plumber told the Senator: "Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn't it? ... I've worked hard. I'm a plumber. I work 10-12 hours a day and I'm buying this company and I'm going to continue working that way. I'm getting taxed more and more while fulfilling the American dream."
Obama told the plumber that the higher taxes he would pay would be good for society. "... My attitude is that if the economy's good for folks from the bottom up, it's gonna be good for everybody. ... I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."
Get ready to squeal like a pig, boys.

FCP'ers as a case study?
Should you:
go heavy on the sauce? Nobody likes an out of control, fumbling guest at their party who accidentally knock down half the buffet table or pass out on the sofa during group conversation. So, as the saying goes, "drink responsibly," especially when you're at someone else's home.
inhale everything edible? While any host loves to see guests enjoying the nibblies, it's not a good look to monopolize the appetizers by devouring the entire plate of passed dumplings or spicy tuna rolls. Remember, there are other hungry guests at the party too.
think your bluetooth is part of your ensemble? The point of a gathering is to socialize and mingle with other guests, not blab on your mobile phone or text on your Blackberry. That's just plain rude.
use the word "me" in every sentence? While you may be the cat's meow, letting everyone else know about it all night can be overbearing. The key is to be comfortable talking about yourself when someone asks, but be sure to pepper the conversation with plenty of questions about other guests. Other topics to avoid overdosing on if you want to be invited back include: your health, your therapist, and oh yeah, your sex life.
Shit, come to think about it, I don't know if any FCP'ers have ever been invited back.

Balance...
And other times this is what dinner looks like. Simple, and still tasty, although I doubt at least the half of you could stand that can of PBR (hard roll not in picture).

OK, better. AI, how come this isn't already in the paper I cite like 39 times in mine?

The Mark of The Kiyoshi Ito
"Kiyoshi Itô is the first winner of the Gauss Prize for applications of mathematics. The new prize is named for Carl Friedrich Gauss, one of the greatest mathematicians of all time, whose work demonstrated the ability to apply mathematics to many sorts of problems in physics, astronomy and engineering. The prize is awarded jointly by the Deutsche Mathematiker-Vereinigung (DMV = German Mathematical Union) and the International Mathematical Union (IMU), and administered by the DMV. It consists of a medal and a monetary award (currently valued at 10,000 Euros).
Kiyoshi Itô, aged 90, received the prize for his work on stochastic analysis, allowing the study of stochastic processes by means of what are now known as "stochastic differential equations." These have found applications all over science, and also, perhaps most famously, in mathematical finance via the Black-Scholes equations. Though Itô first developed these ideas in the 1940s, it took quite a while for mathematicians to understand and appreciate his results. Only after 1954, when Itô visited the Institute of Advanced Studies, did his ideas begin to have their true impact. Today, stochastic analysis is a basic tool in the study of stochastic processes and plays a crucial role in many branches of applied mathematics. "An Early Nice Use of Ito's Integral

P.J. O'Rourke once said that up until a 3am drinking binge will he only start sounding like a sober Ann Coulter does at 3 in the afternoon. How will JJ communicate on FCP if the Mail Goggles start up with the math questions? Or I should ask: JJ, how are you with simple equations after two cases of VCP?
It was a clean break...

Bezmenov Warned Us 20 Years Ago
Sorta like clockwork, ain't it? Please do listen to it all. Its' fascinating to see how Planet Pepe would be born laid out so clearly years before it was actualized. Or, as Le Pew says, clutching his Marxist Catechism, it's Fantastic!
[Of course, the notion of doing things slowly, inexorably, patiently, is not unique to the Red Cadres. It is also a notion well practiced by the Green Jihadists. Except the Green Jihadists are cleverer than the Red Cadres, for they understand what the Red is playing for--but the Red do not respect the Green enough to begin to understand what they're playing for].

The Fable of the Monkeys
Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared
and announced to the villagers
that he would buy monkeys for $10 each.
The villagers seeing that there were
many monkeys around, went out to the forest, and
started catching them.
The man bought thousands at $10 and as supply
started to diminish, the villagers
stopped their effort.
He then announced that he would now buy at $20
each. This renewed the
efforts of the villagers and they started
catching monkeys again.
Soon the supply diminished even further and
people started going back to
their farms. The offer increased to $25 each and
the supply of monkeys
became so little that it was an effort to even
see a monkey, let alone catch one!
The man now announced that he would buy monkeys
at $50! However, since he
had to go to the city on some business, his
assistant would now buy on his
behalf.
In his absence, the assistant told the
villagers, 'Look at all the monkeys
in the big cage that the man has collected. I
will sell them to you at $35
and when he returns from the city, you can sell
them to him for $50 each.'
The villagers rounded up with all their savings
and bought all the monkeys.
Then they never saw the man nor his assistant
ever again; only monkeys
everywhere!
You now have a better understanding of how the
Stock Market works.

Planet Pepe's Favorite Religion Solving Problems Once and For All
It's so much easier for an Aristo to join the Killing Crowd than to risk one's Bleu Blood for stinking peasant concepts like liberty for all, or all of us equal before the law, or all those other quaint Ricain notions. These are Problems in Need of Solutions. And Planet Pepe has, en fin, A Solution.
There goes western civ
Good thing the upcoming muslim invasion will settle the problem once and for all.

Republicans, Pittbulls and family values
Now that they're done with fiscal responsibility, the GOP conveniently revisits schmamily values and joins the democrats in the convictionless party club.
So, AI, JJ, Do You Accept His Apology?
When we get a mathematical Apology which includes lines like this:
"The Riemann hypothesis was difficult as a research objective since it was not proposed by faculty and received no encouragement. Academic freedom permitted research on the Riemann hypothesis without permitting the statement of purpose of the work. This apology describes exceptional circumstances which made the Riemann hypothesis natural as a research objective. The exceptional individuals who were my father and my mathematical mentor were influenced in similar ways, but with dissimilar effectiveness, by the cultural traditions of the eighteenth century. A war replaced my father by my mathematical mentor for the critical years of my education."
we know we are facing someone traveling an eccentric orbit.
And when we get lines like:
"They had three children, Louis born in 1932 in Neuilly-sur-Seine, Elise born
in 1935, and Elleonore born in 1938. The first of these, Lilou, is the author of the present apology. My mathematical mentor entered my life at such an early time that memory fails to record it. I opened the door of my grandparents' home in Swarthmore to him and to his wife when I was two years old. Swarthmore is a suburb of Philadelphia comparable to Wayne and Bryn Mawr. The meeting is remembered by my mother because I was naked."
We know we are reading a sad and truly Debranged apology.
Ingrates Leave Planet Pepe
It's enough to make any Aristo dream of the good ol' days, or present Socialist days, where a peasant got the lashing due him.
