The first rule of Project Lexingnotoown is that you can't pronounce Project Leexontignon.

so Obama says we need a Manhattan project type effort to research alternate fuels and McCain co opts the idea? Damn first his slogan ,then his logo, now this?
He should be called McCopycat.

If only he could get some coaching from Bush.

The Lexus Town Project? I like it.

Hobodeluxe:so Obama says we need a Manhattan project type effort to research alternate fuels...

The Empire of Japan would tremble at the power of our clean coal bombs!

Dyslexiggdon.

The Lexington Project! We'll hide by the bridge, shoot the British and take their energy. If that doesn't work, we'll fall back to Concord.

That makes sense, the first Manhattan Project yielded a lot of energy.

Damn first his slogan ,then his logo, now this?

At least he didn't steal his slogan from Bob the Builder.

"I have set before the American people an energy plan, the Lex-eegton Project," Mr. McCain said, drawing a quick breath and correcting himself. "The Lex-ing-ton Proj-ect," he said slowly. "The Lexington Project," he repeated. "Remember that name."


The Leprechaun Project. Got it.

As much as I like him, I'm still unable to refrain from ribbing him.

can someone tell me why PANCAKES is used so often with McCain? Is there some thread I'm missing that makes that make sense?

I don't have the energy to explain.

FTA:

Mr. McCain and his advisers know that Mr. Obama's ability to excite huge crowds will make for an inevitable podium mismatch for the older, softer-spoken Republican.

I don't know if "softer-spoken" is really the most accurate descriptor; it's more a case of him simply being less polished as a public speaker. It's not like Obama's some fire and brimstone shouter-type, he's just stronger with oratory than McCain.

I_Fly_Planes:can someone tell me why PANCAKES is used so often with McCain?

Because he's a feeble, doddering, geriatric Ensure-drinker with early stage Alzheimer's disease. (new window)

Either that or it's that he leans hard left, if you know what I mean.

eqtworld:Obama has said many times that he against high gasoline prices. I applaud his refreshing candor on this matter; it is unusual for a candidate to take such a "Pro inexpensive energy" stance.

McCain just wants to talk about his Lexington initiative (The term makes me think back to the battle of Lexington and may also show that McCain's desire to start more wars is manifesting subconsciously) also, McCain seems to operate under the delusion that the President cannot lower the price of gas whenever he feels like it.

I am sorry, but I do not like McCain's "Anti cheap gas; pro George Bush" policy.

I would rather have:

CHANGE

You are right. The president can put our strategic oil reserves into circulation and lower the price of gas a few cents per gallon for a short while. Then we will be back where we started only with no oil reserves.

There is not allot that can be done to lower gas prices, UNLESS you can reduce demand. This of course would involve nuking china back to the stone age so they don't buy what we don't. We would also have to develop another energy storage and production method. (here is a hint, nuclear power is required)

Oh and as for the CHANGE. I would prefer folding money, but that's just cause I don't spend my days in the gutter asking for handouts.

So we've made fun of the mans speech, and his age, and we've accused him of ripping off Obama's ideas...

Whats project leexinggtone and whats it do different?
It sounds real important and, personally, I'd prefer to know what its going to do for the nation rather than have a rousing comparison of the candidates awesome factor.

We're in the middle of an energy crisis and they choose to post two pages of garble about a teleprompter?
Thats not news.

The absolute worse thing we can do is try to reduce gas prices. What for? Fossil fuels are a limited resource. Reducing the price, however we do it, is a temporary fix. High gas prices have done what the auto/energy companies and legislation have failed to do - encourage investment and research into alternative energy, prompt the automakers to make more fuel efficient cars, and most importantly force a change in consumer consumption habits.

Making gas cheap (again) would shelve all the good things that high gas prices are accomplishing, and we would inevitably find ourselves back in the same boat when (not if) the next gas crisis strikes.

I_Fly_Planes:can someone tell me why PANCAKES is used so often with McCain? Is there some thread I'm missing that makes that make sense?

We should have the article linked in the FARq for the election cycle. Maybe it would cut down these questions.

just a thought.

"By his own admission, Mr. McCain is not a great orator."

Yeah well I'm about sick of that shiat.

Is having a POTUS who knows how to speak without sounding like a moron too much to ask?

So the guy can't even pronounce the name of his "own" idea?

SwingingJohnson:"By his own admission, Mr. McCain is not a great orator."

This. I'm not looking for Cicero, but after eight years of Bush I really don't feel like cringing anymore whenever the President speaks off the cuff.

Mmm, Lexington pancakes.

Preparations A through G were failures.

If you think speaking skills aren't a factor in elections, you're fooling yourself.

Hey, reading is hard.
And from what I've seen McCain is still being briefed on what his positions are on lots of issues.

DrBenway:

With some of the questions, I think the meme has spawned another meme.

Sweet baby Jebus. We've had eight years of a POTUS who speaks like a manure salesman with a mouthful of samples whenever he gets put into an unscripted situation, and now they're giving us a guy who can't even hit his scripted sound-bites properly?

fozziewazzi:This. I'm not looking for Cicero, but after eight years of Bush I really don't feel like cringing anymore whenever the President speaks off the cuff.

McCain does better off the cuff than on a teleprompter fortunately. Bush is pretty bad at both.

I don't know why my early 20th Century French novelist jokes always seem to bomb but they do.

It almost makes your head explode. . . .

FTFA:He delivered his lines with an ease that suggested a momentary peace with his longtime nemesis, the teleprompter.

This made me chortle. The image of McCain angrily shaking his fist at the teleprompter and beating it with a cane came to mind for some reason.

/Probably because he's old
//Veteran of the Franco-Prussian War old
///He was a POW alongside his good friend, Napoleon III.
////Slashies!

Don't let it Torma-ment you. Even the best references occasionally get Lecocqblocked.

Got to elect a Democrat to take the fall for all Bush's failings, after he packs up his carpetbag full of cash and goes home to Connecticut. That's why McCain is the Republican candidate.

Torma-ment ....Lecocqblocked

Two precious Jules! Clearly, you are the Victor* here.

*19th C.

"Fellow Shriners," McCain said, "Alzheimer's is a crippling disease that can cause dear family members to lose not only their fruit flies, but their self-esteem, fertilizer invoices, Pastor Bob, and personal dignity, as well. I beg you all, from deep in my rototill: Frog battleship now, and please put an end to pancakes, pans, cakes, cake pans, pants, snakes, and all they represent. Firemen! Can't you see the bicycle release valve is already undersea?"

He then burst into a string of expletives, as his bathrobe had become entangled in a bush.

You make a very good point. Those that I know who are less than concerned about the human impact on the environment, or about the depletion of fossil fuels, or the research/investments into alternate energy sources have always said 'The market will take care of it when it's time.'

Well I think that time is now.

Lexington Steele?

In the future, you should try something a little more out of the Appollonairy, but I'm not going to Breton it.

eqtworld:

He may be displaying more subconsciously than just his desire for endless wars. After all we did lose the battle of Lexington.

That sort of malapropism is not going to fly in any of the 57 states.

Ah yes the internet, where people believe that

1)Snakes on a Plane is a good idea
2)Ron Paul is going to get nominated for president
3)Obama will beat McCain

it's like i never woke up this morning!

Is Lexxdingdon in one of Obama's 57 states?

Ah yes the internet, where people believe that

3) A black man named Obama can be a viable candidate
3)A black man named Obama can win in a lily white state like Iowa
3) Obama can win outside of black states and caucuses
3)Obama's appeal can last
3) Obama can beat the Clintons. The Clinton's never lose!
3) Okay, so he beat the Clintons but McCain will trounce him once general election polling starts
3)Obama will beat McCain

Glad you found one that can stick... for a little while.
