Certainly not, but there seemed to be less pushing and shoving in the
crowd.

I think they may have already been sensing their upcoming
doom, and so were more subdued than the Dems.

Dunno.

You'll see a *lot* of pushing and shoving when a herd of zebras
suddenly scent a lion...

The idea of studying what chickens "like" is absurd. If you walk
through a chicken barn, a chicken will run under your foot and wait
for you to step on it. If you walk from one end to the other, you
have to be careful because the chickens will run in front of you all
the way to the other end, and many will die of asphixiation in a big
pile, while there are only 2 or 3 running around in the other 50
yards of empty barn. I would say that chickens are the dumbest
critters on earth except that turkeys are much larger and their
brains are the same size.

Did you ever notice the crowds at our our (USA) Democrat convention
or at a NASCAR race or pedestrians in New York City? *Chickens may be
dumber but not by much.

Think about who they nominated as their VP candidate.

But she can see the current volcanic eruption, her single-mom
daughter, and Russia from her house!

The bit about Russia was actually Tina Fey on Saturday Night Live.
While I am not that impressed by Palin, having Tina Fey do such a
realistic impression of her probably made her seem far more out of it
than she was/is. It will be interesting to see how well she does on
the national scene in the next four years (she may well just fade out
of sight like most VP candidates).

One thing that seems constant is that the tabloids will report the
most outrageous things about the incumbent president regardless if
true. This is regardless of ideology or competence.

Yes, we know.

Plain's actual quote was: "As Putin rears his head and comes into the
air space of the United States of America, where– where do they go?
It's Alaska. It's just right over the border." --Sarah Palin; citing
her foreign policy qualifications for higher office.

If anything, this is even dumber than the Tina Fey line; which at
least made sense.

Except that Tina Fey was just repeating Palin's words. Fey's bit was
almost entirely verbatim quotes from Palin's interviews with Gibson
and Couric. Palin did say that before Fey did her skit.

"GIBSON: What insight into Russian actions, particularly in the last
couple of weeks, does the proximity of the state give you?

PALIN: They're our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia
from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska."

There is much truth on both sides.

Actually I suspect there's a lot more truth behind Jobst's statement
above, than truth behind jackmay's statement...

Yes, but it's a pity that Jobst said this:

"In most of Europe most large cities have no more car traffic in town"

Which is utter nonsense and suggests he's never been in a large European
city in his life.

Nothing is more dangerous than an ignoramus with a workshop
manual, a 'can-do' attitude and a cheap set of tools

There are many motorways in Europe that carry more than 200,000
vehicles a day, similar to busy urban freeways within the United
States.
