To be fair, the Sword in the Stone is Clarent, not Excalibur (which was handed out by some lady in the middle of a lake).

There is a British documentary where lady laying in the shallow lake handing out swords is the prime political system. It does not seem to work very well.

Lady behind me complaining that she would get in trouble if she killed illegals. You see she owned property in Texas but the illegals are such a infestation problem they had to get rid of it. She has friends down there that own ranches with armed guards and they kill these things that are invading and they are afraid of being hanged. They dig holes and dump the bodies way out there so they don't get caught. She has seen how violent they are and how they need putting down.

This is a teacher too.

It had its strengths and weaknesses, as I recall. It was good at deploying blessed incendiaries against rodents, bad at anticipating the Spanish Inquisition.

BUSH LIED PEOPLE DIED

quote:

WASHINGTON -- A Las Vegas campaign event for GOP presidential contender Jeb Bush came to a sudden end this week as activists, unhappy with how Bush addressed a question on racial injustice, chanted, "Black Lives Matter."

After the confrontation, the Bush campaign said the candidate had privately met with advocates for the movement before the event, an assertion that appeared in multiple articles about the disruption.

But that description is misleading, The Huffington Post has learned.

There was a meeting, but no activists from the Black Lives Matter movement participated. Instead, Bush met with a local elected official, a GOP lobbyist and a staffer from an anti-poverty organization.

Joe Bien Wades Further Into 2016 Bid


quote:


And he has permitted his advisers to discreetly contact operatives in early nominating states to determine how fast they could organize a campaign.


A once bare-bones “Draft Biden” movement has entered a new, more aggressive phase that resembles an exploratory committee. With a Biden family loyalist now involved, the group is contacting Democratic insiders about everything from how to establish a presence at the Iowa State Fair this week to which Democratic donors and officials in South Carolina need to be contacted.
...

Still, there is no waiting movement for Mr. Biden to tap into: He has not a cent of campaign money and has not taken any formal steps toward a campaign.
...
When asked whether Mr. Biden and his innermost circle of advisers had blessed Draft Biden’s efforts, Mr. Alcorn demurred. “I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t think it was the right thing to do,” he said.

Are y'all pretty sure he's not running?

Nope, at least not outside some places like circus etc. I have had some sweet popcorn, but that really isn't what we tend to eat or something that can be bought from any local groceries.

We nordics like our popcorn salted and our "get-shitfaced"-beer as plain lager.

Yeah, and that 10-13% he's getting in a lot of polls will probably go toward Hillary, or maybe a 50/50 split with her and Bernie.

The only reason I could think that he might do so is as a spoiler for Hillary. I'm not sure if the two of them get along with one another or not, but HRC and Pres. Obama haven't always been on the best terms. I understand that Biden and Obama are good friends with one another, but a presidential campaign seems to be a bit overkill to say "gently caress you" to HIllary. Then again, these are the people who have the political and financial capital to pull something like that off and Trump is the front runner at the moment in the GOP - so it makes as much sense as anything else.

biden is probably just setting up the basics in case the hillary campaign implodes due to the email stuff and leaves no other establishment choice. i suspect if hillary were to fully implode though there would be a lot of people trying to jump in, not just biden.

So technically we still have the option that Al Gore runs again, wins the popular vote and this time loses to Donald Trump?

I personally do not believe in intervening God, but if this happens I will reinstate my membership to the local church and start praying hardcore.

Because when the nukes start to fall, I might as well hedge my bets on any possible outcome on afterlife.
