    Seemed more appropriate here than in Politics, since it's kind of spammy.

    I'll start :awesome

    McCain was introduced at the convention last night by his wife -- I won't say 'trophy wife' -- but she did have $300,000 worth of clothes and jewelry on, no matter to the party of the little guy. But Cindy McCain talked about how his character, honor and integrity made him the exact kind of married man she was looking to pick up at a bar. - Bill Maher

    Cindy McCain appeared at the Republican National Convention, and Vanity Fair took a look at an outfit she wore. The magazine priced it out at around $300,000. With that kind of money, you could buy an 11th house. - Jimmy Kimmel

    It turns out the Chinese faked part of the opening ceremonies. They made the fireworks look more lively. It's the same technology they use for John McCain. - Craig Ferguson

    Congratulations to John McCain, he wrapped up the Republican nomination this week. And we know this is official now because Mike Huckabee dropped out and said he was joining forces with John McCain. Oh, great, you've got one guy who doesn't believe in evolution, and another guy who remembers it.
    - Bill Maher - LOL!

    All in all, this was a great first day for the convention, but, of course, the media did their best to try to ruin it by callously revealing a private matter in the Palin family, namely that Governor Sarah Palin's eldest daughter is named Bristol. Have you no shame, media? That's nobody's business. That is a private pain, meant to be kept between Bristol, and Track, and Willow, and Piper, and Trig Paxon, and let's say Snackchip and Toejam. - Stephen Colbert.

    And how about the other woman at the convention? How about the new star of the Republican party, Ms. Sarah Palin? Wow. The media loves her. The headlines were all 'Palin delivered.' I said, another baby? - Bill Maher

    Five kids? Does anyone in that party understand the concept of pulling out? - Bill Maher

    John McCain's VP pick is the governor of Alaska, a unknown hockey mom named Sarah Palin that no one ever heard of. The only other job she had in politics was the mayor of a small town known as Wasilla, Alaska, and now she has the opportunity to be on a ticket opposite of Barack Obama, the first black man she's ever seen.
    - Bill Maher

    If Cindy McCain were a plane, Sarah Palin would sell her on eBay. - Jimmy Kimmel

    And how are you going to be the vice president of the United States with five kids to take care of? She's got a four-month-old of her own, she's about to become a grandmother, and she's partnered with John McCain. How many diapers can one woman possibly change?
    - Jimmy Kimmel

    One of the big themes for convention speakers was that we need to elect a Republican that will go in and clean up the mess in Washington. I think that’s a great lesson for kids -- always clean up your own mess.
    - Jimmy Kimmel - LOL!

    As you all know by now, Barack Obama sent out a cell phone text message at 3 a.m. on Saturday morning to tell everyone he picked Joe Biden as his vice president. How do you think this makes Hillary Clinton feel, huh? Finally, she gets a telephone call at 3 a.m., it's to tell her they picked Joe Biden. - Jay Leno

    I celebrated Thanksgiving in an old-fashioned way. I invited everyone in my neighborhood to my house, we had an enormous feast, and then I killed them and took their land -
    Jon Stewart. ;)

    Barack Obama gave a speech in Germany and 200,000 people showed up. There were so many Germans shouting and screaming that France surrendered just in case.
    - Craig Ferguson.

    These are political jokes? Most of them sound like sophisticated Your-mother-jokes. (Doesn't mean Your-mother-jokes can't be funny.)
    McCain is old, McCain is rich, Palin is stupid, etc.

    The last two were funny though.

    Ahem: Our choice is between a fresh faced inexperienced social justice loon and a senile scumbag who'd probably eat his mother's heart and tell people it was meatloaf to win.

    What, no one's laughing yet?

    That's it... I've made my decision. I'm getting high as a fucking kite before I walk into the voting booth.

    ~Milton Friedman

    I could keep quoting him but it'd get a little repetitive.

    None of those are even funny in the slightest. Instead they are bullshit naive Libertarian arguments. A lack of belief in the free market is a good memory for history.

    EDIT: Ever heard of the gilded age? That was a free market economy.

    A) You're an idiot. Read two posts up.

    B) I'm not gonna argue this with you. I know the benefits of socialism, and I aknowledge it can work, I just think it's immoral and is more doomed to fail than capitalism. You, however, are a biased fool. No point in arguing with someone who won't listen.

    Oh and could you guess who?

    The only way free market capitalism could work is if the guys at the head of the inevitable monopolies thought only of helping society as a whole. The chance of that happening is incredibly slim.

    On the other hand Socialist Capitalism(Which if you read any of my posts you instead of screaming "FREE MARKETS R TER AWESOMES" you would have noticed that was what I advocated) like Canada on the other hand works extremely well. Tell me again why socialist capitalism works worse than the Gilded age?

    I don't care.

    Yes. Canada's economy rocks. Just ask Darius, I'm sure he'll agree.

    Because monopolies gain power and then CONTROL the government the gov intervenes and protects them, allowing them to exist. If we don't give gov enough power to fuck with things, the large corps can't take advantage of gov.

    Monopolies and collusion are VERY hard to pull off in truly free market.

    Our economy is in the shitter now because of social justice. I'd prefer abominations like the New Dealenstein's monsters, Freddi and Fannie, to not be in existence.

    "CNN has to get rid of that voter reaction graph, at least when McCain's on. I keep glancing at the TV and thinking he's dead." - Maher, New Rules, October 10. :awesome

    "Vietnam's economy is a mix of capitalism and communism... just like ours. Vietnam, you'll love it long time!"

    "Mr. McCain, you preface all your sentences with 'My friends..' if you're truly my friend, can I crash at one of your 13 houses for a while? Because the bank just took mine, thanks for the regulation numbnuts."
