The Time picks up the idiocy that is the Gore-Obama ticket
Elsewhere, Romney joins McCain on the trail in Salt Lake City, and will go with him to Denver for another fundraiser. Something there?
On the "NAFTAGate" front, the Canadians will make public whatever comes out of their probe? Good? I think so, but I wonder how long it'll take.
And a pretty good backdrop.

The federal government's top civil servant has pledged to make public the results of an investigation into Canadian leaks that damaged the presidential campaign of U.S. Senator Barack Obama.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper handed responsibility for an internal inquiry to Kevin Lynch, the Clerk of the Privy Council, after it emerged that his chief of staff, Ian Brodie, sparked the so-called "NAFTA-gate" affair in a conversation with reporters from CTV News.
Mr. Lynch pledged in a letter to Liberal MP Navdeep Bains that the results of the internal probe will be made public, and will include the "verbal" leaks - not only the later leak of a diplomatic memo.
And a pretty good backdrop.

Though really, the statistic '4 million mortgages' doesn't mean anything on its own.
What, did NRO infilitrate Time?
When was the last time Time wasn't retarded?
If you consider that the average household size is something like 3, even if you pretend that no renters exist, you're talking 4% of homes being slurped away by financial distress. That's fucking huge.
...are they really that hurting for subject matter?
Don't tell the conservative pundits. They're happy believing that Obama has now been crippled for not responding to the situation with "All you negroes need to quit your bitching and embrace the wonderful opportunities that you have as blacks in America. And Wright can fucking eat a bag of dicks. Seriously, fuck that n****r."
You're also ignoring the number of homes, like my parents', that are fully paid off.
If this is 4 million that are under financial distress, rather than 4 million at all, yes. That is fucking huge. But that's not what the quote (and assumedly, sound byte) says. It says '4 million mortgages,' which means nothing on its own aside from the fact that there are many, many mortgages -- but given that mortgages are on their own a matter-of-fact and neutral thing (AFAIK), I don't see why that alone is a problem?
I thought when that happened they just made another issue about Jesus
or is that Newsweek?
But this is an entirely different plateau of retarded. There's "fair and balanced" retarded, and then there's "12 months late to the stupid" retarded.
I can't imagine in what context they'd even bring up mortgages except as it pertains to the current crisis. I think it's fair to assume that when they say 4 million mortgages are causing trouble, they mean something bad is happening to them. The number is big enough that the details of the "something bad" aren't necessary to conclude that this is some major shit going down.
It's getting so hard to tell the difference...
Well, considering the entire article reads like a Marvel What-If? comic, I really don't see how they can get away with calling it news.
It's basically: What if everything that has happened so far immediately changes, with no cause or rationale, would that somehow cause Gore to magically run for president, despite the fact that he has all but completely divested himself from politics in the last 5 years....
god, I am so sick of rampant speculation... if you can't fill your news periodical with facts, then stop fucking printing them. Just print up a one page issue that says "sorry folks, no news this week."
According to McCain's speech, it is 4 million "troubled" mortgages.
What if Reed and Johnny died and Gore and Obama joined the Fantastic Four and then Hillary teamed up with Dr. Doom?
Why are you not exploring this pertinent question, Time?
John McCain, Agent of SHIELD might be playing both sides against eachother, though.
Blended into the Current Running Gag'd.
there was one particular line which still haunts me "in America religion is the poetry of the people whereas in the rest of the world it is the opiate of the people" Or something pretty close to that. This was in their international version btw, Time having long made a sort of effort to localise/internationalise content.
Religious right people should read us too. We get Jesus, and stuff. Come on, subscribe!
It's filled with vapid imagery and literary tricks and written by a crying emo kid who is cutting himself.

Has it been youtube'd yet? I've been reading it in Obama's voice and it must have been amazing to see.
I have no fucking clue. If I remember I'll try and track down the exact edition and see if the passage makes more sense now.
To be fair, Jesus wasn't cutting himself. The Romans were more than happy to oblige.
Ah but he went willingly, so it was assisted suicide.
I have to say, I like the shift in narrative.
About damn time.

Funny thing is that this is a situation where they could be put to good use and make sense: stopping the nomination from getting too ugly and tearing apart the party. The only thing is that that would mean that they would push Clinton out, not rescue her from defeat. There's been some growing rumblings on that front recently as she's grown increasingly aggressive, so I'm thinking something interesting may happen soon.
You need to cut that shit out. It's giving me Liberality for All flashbacks.
