back to article Donkeys refuse fodder as US election tension rises

It's official: US election fever has finally infected the remote Spanish outpost which houses El Reg's Iberian Bureau.

    OK Europe, if you think Obama is so great and fair....

    .... tell me why this messiah "of racial unity" has BLACK PANTHER thugs with billy-clubs blocking non black voters from Polling Stations in Philadelphia Pennsylvania?? And the Democrat (Socialist) Party blocked the counting of over-seas votes from our Military Personal!!

    Obama in a speech said he wants "a civilian militia as powerful, well equipped and well trained as the military" ..... do YOU REMEMBER Germany's 1930's BROWN SHIRTS??

    Go ahead your liberal bastards, censor this posting too!

    He was born in a manger...

    Not all impossible effects are improbable

    While a genuine "age of enlightenment" _is_ unlikely (regardless of the outcome), it is still highly possible that the economic situation could improve just because the "correct" candidate gets elected and this eases many peoples' minds. (Specifically, the people who think _only_ their candidate can lead us out of the abject economic depression they think we're in.) No longer convinced they're going to have to fashion their next pair of shoes out of tree-bark, these people will again work / sell and buy / spend more normally.

    Exactly like your donkeys. I bet by this time tomorrow, yoked as they doubtless will be under cartloads of firewood, they'll be eating hay with a smile under their whiskers because they know unemployment is about to trend downward instead of geometrically climbing to a hundred and four percent.

    Yeah, just you wait

    At 11:23 Democratic Time on the 19th of February Barak Obama became self-aware. President Sarkozy of France said he was not worried that the USA would start all-out thermonuclear war. However, as White House aides tried to shut Barak Obama down he caused sweets to be fired into every school in the world. Top scientists from CERN, having nothing better to do at the moment, predicted that in the year 2023 Barak Obama would develop time travel, return to 2008 and shut down the internet...

    Re: Kill File

    Yeah, or how about at least block certain users tied to my account so while he can post, I never have to read a Webster post again because my account filters them out.

    Better yet, a rating system and anything with a -5 and below is deleted.
