Substance. It's the impression that Barack Obama has none that now worries his campaign. Though he's inspired millions with his vision of Hope and Change, now, when he has come so far, it may not be enough. Some claim that he is nothing but an empty suit spouting empty words, platitudes, feel good politics.
Mr Obama is eager to dispel this impression. "I don't simply repeat the words "hope" and "change," he stated at a news conference. "You can believe in Hope and Change because the Hope and Change I offer is based on my firm belief in Liberal Substance. Liberal Substance knows no race, knows no gender, knows no age, and knows no barriers to what it can do and accomplish! Substance is the very core of my being. My campaign is filled with Liberal Substance. Substance means what it says. Liberal Substance defines us. Liberal Substance gives us hope and brings about change. We have substance. To say that my campaign lacks substance is to say that every face out there in that crowd that believes in Hope and Change lacks substance. It is an insult to people everywhere. We have substance! Those that say I'm campaigning on empty words just don't get it. Maybe they never will. I feel very sorry for them."
Liberal Substance, says Mr Obama, holds that we, as one people, can work together and, through the government, achieve great things - as Progressives have always done. Liberal Substance is as old as the Progressive movement. The country, he says, longs for a national leader attuned to the will of the people to accomplish the common good. "I hear the people," Obama says "and together we will build a better future. We will give everyone health care, we will make certain that no one is hungry, we will end our addiction to oil and we will invest in a sustainable future. We will end war by talking with dignity to our enemies. Together, with me as the leader, we will work toward a better future. We can create a new tomorrow. That is hope and change. That is the essence of Liberal Substance. Liberal Substance is government with a smile on its face. I have a smile on my face. I am the will of the people."
Thanks, Margaret, for throwing substance into the mix. Because I felt the nation was entering a language crisis lately, with the words like Change and Hope losing any trace of meaning and becoming interchangeable - or is it interhopeable?
You have earlier noticed how climate change logically led to climate hope. Now even the cashiers at the corner stores sometimes get confused and give you hope instead of change after you buy something. Some of the progressives no longer change socks or underwear - they only hope they do it, or the government does it for them.
A beggar in the street recently asked me for some loose hope - so I gave him some, saying that if he's having a good day I would surely change it. The bus that I took, too had a sign "Prepare exact hope."
The residents of Hope, AZ, have also been complaining that their mail was being delivered to Change, France and Change, Pakistan. The loudest outcry came from the Obama campaign whose entire supply of election leaflets destined for Hope wound up in Change - but the Post Office responded that they only had themselves to blame for the confusion.
So I'm glad the word "substance" has come into play now, and I change (or hope?) that there will be no substance abuse.
But then, of course, there's always a backup plan way to end any linguistic confusion - by converting to Islam, which allows to replace any of these words with "Allah willing." That happens in Arabic that doesn't have future tense, only "insalla" (if god pleases).
Margaret - you may want to leave a comment there saying that the author of this article is not someone named OA but you - a progressive niece of $$ Halliburton.
I like your image. Considering the title of Obama's other book, The Audacity of Hope, we might also think of a sequel - The Audacity of Change. And then maybe even The Audacity of Substance. Further titles may range from "The Hope Strikes Back" to "The Son of Change" to "The Rise of Substance."
In the case of this book, I'd add just one more line:

I don't see how anyone could confuse it with Mein Kampf. Adolf Hitler was a fascist. Barack Obama is a Progressive. Adolf Hitler's intentions were evil. Barack Obama's intentions are good. "Struggle" has a very long and valued history among the Left. Hitler had no right to use the term "struggle." Mein Kampf was diabolical. Liberal Substance is the nectar of the gods.
There is one more thing, comrades, that we must consider. Since intentions are all, we must take a preemptive strike against other people who have good intentions. Since things are what we say they are, we must declare that the intentions of others are bad.
But does this, I hate to suggest, mean that we must declare the intentions of our beloved MTE to be evil? I know that she doesn't give a damn about anything but the acquisition of pure power, but if we're selling intentions, we have to get our act in order.
Thanks for mentioning me, Gerard. Long time no speak. I mustmention, however, that the Obama piece you linked to was written by oneof my American friends. Obama's message of change tickles his fancy.
But my choice of the ideal progressive president for America is Putin!
If change is what the Americans want, Putin can give it to them betterthan Obama or Hillary. And trust me, it won't be some cosmetic do-over- it will be a change that's final and irreversible. I challenge allthe progressives who talk about change to put their money where theirmouth is and support Vladimir Putin for American President.
No candidate is perfect. We always have to make concessions. I think the important thing in this election is to make sure our domestic policy reflects our Left leaning values. There must be an American Putin out there. Maybe next election. The Right always asks: who is the most Reaganesque? We should ask: who is the most Putinesque? Hillary or Obama? Until a real American Putin comes along we have to go with what we have.
Until a real American Putin comes along we have to go with what we have.
<Sigh>... America needs a Putin. We need a president who understands that killing the opposition is the only way to successfully push a forward-thinking progressive agenda. We need a president who will torture Americans into embracing quality, affordable healthcare and universal pre-k. We need a Putin, and most importantly, our Children need a Putin.
I've changed my mind. Word on the street is the baitch is gonna morph that into "Substance Abuse" and try and pin some some more shit on me.
Let's just stick to Hope & Change LLP for right now.

Obama wants to deflect the issue. I can see why. Your "Hope and Change" is part of a greater thing, it is another flavor of "Ism." It's a substance abuse alright. It's the stuff of Kool-Aid drinkers everywhere. But Obama deflects the issue of what he stands for by not identifying it. That's right, Obama. Just stick with Hope and Change. That's like a professional magician using timing and props to misdirect the attention of the audience. Nice try, but I've seen this trick. Environmentalism is a frightening new flavor of "ism," but your kind really frightens me. Your kind gets in under the door like oozing slime. When the magic election show is over then what have you in store?
Some of you have seen this video already, but this is Barack Obama and he's selling a new flavor of "ism." I don't think this video can be seen too many times.
I don't get the video. All I see is a big white gap underneath the text. A big white, racist gap that should be sent to the re-education camps where his guilt will force him to vote for Osamabama.
Dear Lenin! LIes! LIes! Damnable lies SS Haliburton! The only germ of truth in that hideous film was the depiction of this country pumping so much more earth killing CO2 into the atmosphere than all the other nations combined. This video must be destroyed! For the Children™!
Can we make it a non-video? I had to press "Menu" and copy the link to get to it, before Mikhail added his link. As we made that ex-president, whosisname, a non-person, this ought to be a non-video.
Yeah. Sure. You ought to see what she did at the Rancho the last time. I have a lot of hope that I'll be able to change out the furniture.
Isn't that a job for Bruno? Or is he/she/it too depressed to do these duties after hearing of your recent efforts to foist Bruno on someone else? Yes, Bruno probably deserves a subsidy to help ease the pain.
Do not worry, Comrades; I've got Bruno a gig he'll really enjoy. Should you come a cropper with the Party, you too will have a ticket on TransSiberian Railroads and be able to enjoy Bruno y sus Corazones in their full splendor.
Damn. I'm pissy today. Entirely too many Realtors. Sorry.
I heard la Raza will come out with their version too. It is called Lucha Mia. Its about a struggle against laws, English grammar, and adopting to a alien country.
There is another gig. Get elected to county government as a commissioner. Hire a member of a large family and keep him employed long enough to qualify for unemployment. Fire him. His family is pleased. Repeat. Screw the high employment taxes in the People's Republic of Texas--you've kept some families very happy.
Another gig. Get elected as, oh, county clerk. Where the survival characteristic is being in the office three months before every quadrennial election and making nice. Where the survival characteristic is not keeping the records. Where the survival characteristic of the deputies is not keeping the records but keeping the clerk happy. Once the clerk, a very nice woman, came to me with a problem for I've had a half century's experience with county government--from the outside.
"Theocritus, what should I do about the mistakes?"
"Fire T." Kindly, nice, sweet, but as we say in math, nondeterministic.
After an hour of "Fire T" the clerk left, satisfied she'd done her duty by asking me, but not hearing a word I'd said.
T got fired. Not because of incompetence but because she got a boyfriend before the clerk.
T.'s survival characteristic was being fatter than the clerk.
I have a job for Bruno Commissar! As you know now, the United Socialist States of America is now a for certain thing with it down to Hillary, Obama, or McCain. But now is the time to strike the death knell for the republican party forever. We need to send Bruno on a mission.... to "catch" McCain tapping out a "code" in the bathroom! Bruno would be perfect for this mission, and it would ensure that the most talented socialist of the three will be victorious.
I have no Idea... I just logged on and it was like that. I suspect that it was due to the graciousness of dear comrade Red Square again. When the avatar system was first introduced, he made mine for me from a picture I posted. I never did thank him, and now he has updated it again and made it much better from its original appearance.
Thank you Red Square!
It also appears that Pinkie has been... um... "modified" as well.
It also appears that Pinkie has been... um... "modified" as well.
(GASP!) Oh, my Lenin! What does that mean? What has Red Square done to me? Why am I wrapped in all these bandages? I am not his mummy.
Someone mentioned Anastasia . . . ooh, do I look like Ingrid Bergman now?
Did he whiten my teeth? Clear up my skin? Give me a boob job?
All I know is, he better not have removed my red headscarf, or I will smash out the windows of his Party-leased SUV with my shovel a la bald-headed Britney Spears.
Someone get these bandages off and fetch a hand mirror so I can see what Red did to me! Give me that mirror! GIVE IT TO ME!
Only I think the shovel should have a boy's name. Don't ask me to explain. I'll think about it over a bottle of Putinka.
Um... uh... it is not my position to question your motives. I suggest the name "Bourn Bourgenjorgen". I dunno why. It is not your position to question my motives.
There seems to be some confusion comrades. Most is what has been commented on goes to the positive side of the negative effect. As I recall the words were 'knows no' since there is no knowing what barriers exist they cannot be breached. Since no race is known, it cannot be run? Since no gender is know there can be no confusion of man and woman, and since no age is known there can be no attainment of same and all will remain young at heart forever. This is both good and bad as it furthers the requirements of the State to at some point in time 'know' these things for for no other reason than to subjugate them properly. This is something we can all hope for and when it occurs we will see more change to a positive substance, something like the blob. perhaps.
I'm the last person to want to hold someone back. I so overflowing with the milk of human kindness, like, I'm sure, all the good Party members, that I will do anything for my fellow beyings and appliances.
And so I've been insisting, yes, absolutely insisting that Bruno explore his queenhood to its full capacity, and to that end I've been opening the door for him and insisting that he see the fine West Texas air, and to keep him company and bid him godspeed I've thrown shoes, bowling balls, and even Meow's ex-wife, the pop-tart toaster Helen, who showed up here one night drunk on 220V.
It sure didn't work in Louisiana. BHO came to woo the voters, Hillary sent Bill. I suspect he "worked the crowds" in New Orleans pretty good though, after all, he has always been one who enjoyed "pressing the flesh."
I will never abandon our MTE--unless there is someone else in power.
Unless there is someone else in power? REALLY? Hmmm... well... last time I checked - which was about a minute ago after finishing my enema - I saw a large sign on the wall that said I AM THE BOSS! GOT IT?
Until Hillary pulls off a miracle and becomes the nominee of our Party I AM THE BOSS. Oh, and by the way, she won't pull off a miracle because I went on Bloomberg today and made it clear THAT THOSE DELEGATES IN MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA SHOULD NOT BE SEATED. So there.... you are officially supporting Obama, Theocritus - JUST LIKE THE REST OF US!
The same with L. Ron Hubbard. I defy anyone to read a single full page.
Looks like its time for somebody's audit. I sense too many Carbon Thetans infesting his soul. How does somebody expect to get into Climatology Heaven with all those Carbon Thetans? I say about $1M worth of Carbon Credits can get you a "clear audit".

SHUT UP you drunk, aging, heifer!!!
You never did a damned thing to help our MTE win a single primary!!! Except pay her lip service (and I mean that literally) at Theo's ranch. And that won't do it.
BOSS? YOU? I got your boss. My size 10 steel toed boots are your boss. Now sober up and get your flabby arse back to work destroying this country!!!
Zampolit, let's have some mercy on Nansky. When His Infernal Majesty the Ickesaurus has elevated Our Many Titted Empress onto the throne of Perpetual Power, built on the Bones of the People, Nansky will become our Empress' Groom of the Stool. In other words, she will clean the behind of Our Empress after her hour-long defecations. And considering the real estate and the stippling, she'll need a power-washer.
That would be an excellent job for Nancsky! But for the time being, she has not accomplished one single task as Speaker of the House that we have assigned to her!!! The troops are still are still in Iraq, Al Qaeda has not attacked us again, the Iranians still have not got a nuclear tipped ICBM working yet. What the hell is wrong with her? I'll tell you what is wrong with her. She's a drunk-ass weak liberal!!! It's like she is trying to compete with Comrade Teddy K. instead of weakening this country like she was appointed to do by The Party™ .

Think on this Commissar, regardless of what happens in November, Nancy will still be in power. If the Empress wins, then she and Nancy will be inseperable, other than when the Empress' new squeeze is around. If another wins, Nancy's power will be even greater.
I am not that far away from you, Zam. You do know that, don't you? You do know NOVA is but a stones throw away from my palatial D.C townhouse. You are aware of this, right? Hmm? Did you know that? Oh... you did? Really? THEN SHUT THE HELL UP, PEON! I AM THE BOSS! GET IT?!
Zam, dear, you fail to realize that regardless of who wins this show-election that I-- SPEAKER PELOSI-- am the third in line to ascend to the crown majestical. You also fail to realize that I am the face and power of the Party. You also fail to realize that I am the most powerful womyn in the U.S and will remain so if Hillary fails to snatch the nom from BHO.
I wear the pantsuit around here and don't you ever forget it!
Listen up and listen good, Nacsky!!! There is NO WAY IN HELL you are the BOSS over me!!!! That vacuous cavity between your ears has no where near the neural fire power needed to do that job. Hell ... you can't even do the job The Party™ has assigned to you!!!
I know where you live. I can bring a couple of my friends, Mr. Heckler and Mr. Koch, over to your D.C. whorehouse and we can play a little game of "Hide the Jacketed Hollow Point" with you. Don't threaten me lushbag!!! I survived Stalin, Khrushchev, that oaf Brezhnev, and 25 years with a psycho ex-wife who would scream "I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU!" repeatedly at o'dark thirty in the morning at me. So understand this .... You don't scare me!!!
Why don't you do what The Inner Circle™ ordered you to do? Are the troops out of Iraq so that it can turn into the middle east version of medieval Romania? NO! Has Bu$hitler been impeached yet? NO! Has Al Qaeda attacked U.S. soil? NO! Is the Venezuelan Navy's aircraft carriers parked off of our coast? NO! Does The Venezuelan Navy HAVE aircraft carriers? NOOOOO!!!! Does Iran have a nuclear warhead and an ICBM to deploy it with? NO! Sounds to me like you got a whole lot of catching up to do!!!!
Speaker of the House, my ass!!! All you've managed to accomplish in that role is to convert oxygen into carbon dioxide. You have a NATION to DESTROY, Missy!!!! GET TO IT!!!!!
And one more thing ...
I wear the steel toed Jack Boots around here and don't you ever forget that!!!
I know where you live. I can bring a couple of my friends, Mr. Heckler and Mr. Koch, over to your
Blokhayev
Comrade Blokhayev, you have made a most convincing case that Nancy is indead a traitor and an Enemy of the People. But I have to ask: why just shoot her? Why not torture her a little first and make her tell all her secrets? That's the Party Way™! I will help you!
After we have tortured her we can have a bottle or two of vodka and then execute her in the basement.
We can bring Pinkie with us. She can entertain us with song and belly dancing.
That has yet to be determined Zampoloit..... Da, but you gave me a good laugh this morning, but must you go so hard on Comrade Nancy? She is but a woman after all, and not a particularly brilliant or good looking one. Actually, that picture makes her look like a sturgeon with a hook in it's mouth. Were I not The Man of Steel, I would pity her.
Patiently, I sat staring out a large window in the bank, hoping to stave off foreclosure of my beet crop. The window I peered from was cleaned as only a capitalistic venture would have it. Squeaky Klean. It was an optimistic view. I was repulsed.
A nighthawk crashed into the window as I sat there contemplating the hopelessness of my Bush induced circumstances.
Bonk! Splat! Feathers filtered down to mark the occasion.
The bird quivered on the ground a little bit then died. Its bird's feet pointing straight into the air.
Any reference I have made to Obama's transparent promises via a clean window representing the iron fist of -ISM's (Liberal mostly) and a nighthawk metaphor for We The People is purely coincidental!
Bird is good if you know how to cook it.
With beets of course.
Don't these gals just make you want to shake your bottle till the cork pops and spews foam everywhere?
Shame and cellulite? This is not an excuse. Please, do it For the Children™!
And thank you for tricking me into viewing these pictures. I will now be a virtual gelding for several weeks and the vodka suddenly stopped working! Shame on you commissarka! Shame on you! You have sabotaged the People's Kommissar's manhood and vodka. Prepare for some phonecalls!
Have you lost all sense of Party discipline Kommissar Vodkov? Blaming one of the Party's most loyal and diligent workers for your sabotaged manhood and vodka? Threatening her? Perhaps you need some time on a People's Shovel to help you get your manhood back in shape. Why you even admit that you were tricked into this, What does that say about your judgment Kommissar?
We are all about Change and Hope, Hope and Change. Think on this Comrade.
It is correct that insignificant Party members are not allowed to think but somebody must. That somebody is me, Kommissar Vodkov. I must think about lots of things. Assassinations of class enemies, defamation campaigns, blackmail and yes; stalking of dubious Party members if necessary. Commissarka Pinkie is lucky I haven't assigned her case to my wet works team. A suspected Huckabee supporter in our midst who is protected by respected Party members? Shameful! Heads will roll!
So Kommissar, you claim that you have the right to think? A mere Kommissar? Don't you know that I am an Honorary Vice Chairman now? I will tell you when to think, and right now you need to get your shovel, your sandals, and go collect some ca$h for the Change and Hope campaign! Do not pass Pinkie, go directly to the streets, the malls, the banks! We need ca$h! Super delegates don't come cheap Kommissar.
Vodkov, for the last time (though something tells me it isn't), I am not THAT kind of HO!
In fact, I'm not even sure if I'm any kind of HO now.
But even IF I were guilty of something, the fact that I refuse to belly dance should be sufficient to get me off the hook. Trust me--you guys should thank me for not being like those junk-to-jewels belly dancers or those Boobs Not Bombs (like what's the difference there?)
Shame on you for trying to exploit me and turn me into some kind of object!
Pupovich: For the record, how many times now has he been denounced? And still no show trial?
You may leave your "guest soaps" in the dish next to the wash basin on the way out.
If you survive your show trial and can go for at least one week without being denounced thereafter, The Party might consider issuing you a new replacement pair. Of course they won't be the same ones. Be nice to me and maybe I can swing (oops, not the best verb choice) get the Mime's for you.
I'm very surprised to hear that the Mime indeed has any to spare. How exactly did you find out about that commissarka??? Is there something you haven't told us - your comrades?
Don't you know that I am an Honorary Vice Chairman now?
So a Hillary supporter got a promtion ehh? You will surely be purged right after HRC's head hits the ground and starts rolling. Maybe you will be shown mercy and sent to the Gulag instead, without shoes and shovel though.
Stop it! Just STOP IT! Can't you see that all this candidate choosing is tearing us apart? We can't take over the U.S. if we are bickering like children (more so, I mean)! We must be organized about this and not worry about picking sides until a candidate is chosen.
The uncontested absurdities of today are the accepted slogans
of tomorrow. They come to be accepted by degrees, by precedent,
by implication, by erosion, by default, by dint of constant
pressure on one side and constant retreat on the other -
until the day when they are suddenly declared to be the country's
official ideology. ~ Ayn Rand
