   “Renegade”? Please. Is the Director an Obama supporter, or what?

   Have you seen the official dictionary descriptions we stated above?

   To repeat the above:

   According to my computer’s dictionary widget description Renegade means:

   Noun: TRAITOR, defector, deserter, turncoat, rebel, mutineer.

   I wonder if this was an inside joke on the part of the Secret Service.

   Not exactly flattering.

   As an addendum, here are the codenames that were used for the GOP nominees:

   John McCain – Phoenix
   Cindy McCain – Parasol
   Sarah Palin – Denali
   Todd Palin – Driller (due to the fact that he has 5 kids? lol)

   Hey…at least he’s getting more action than you.

   Celtic? Could that be a slam about his plagiarizing Neil Kinock? I guess if McCain had been elected, it would have been Celout.

   Best hope we have is this scenario. THe Electoral College submits it’s votes in December 15th and the votes are opened and counted in Congress on January 06th. If Obama passes away before December 15th then his pledged Electors can vote for someone else. We can speculate on whether it would be Hillary or someone else. If Obama’s prior unhealthy lifestyle were to catch up with him after the 15th but before the certification by Congress (remember that he never released his medical records) then we would have an interesting situation. In theory Joe Biden would be the elected Vice President and John McCain would be the elected President. The only sensible way to resolve the problem would be for McCain to take the oath of office and immediately resign. That would make Biden the President. If the Democratic Governor of Arizona promised to immediately reappoint McCain to the Senate the crisis would be amicably resolved.

   One of my great hopes for change is that we get rid of this PC nonsense we’ve been living under for so long. In that vein, and at great personal risk, I think one of them should be “Token”, though to be honest I don’t know which one. Or maybe “Dumb” and “Dumber”. How about “Guilt Relief” and “Gravitas”.

   I leave Michelle and the kids out of this, and hope that others will as well. If they inject themselves into the debate then fine, but until then leave them be.

    I’ve always found that strange.

    Mostly for when they’re talking into their watches:

    To avoid ambiguity: They can’t say “McCain’s in the car now”, because it could mean either Cindy or John

    For the same reason you don’t mention (too loudly) the names of non-present parties in, say, a restaurant: names have a way of standing out above background noise, and invite eavesdropping into the rest of the conversation. Ordinary words: not so much. Secret Service guys hate attracting attention.

    Slightly OT, but related. Did anyone see this? Money quote:

    The FEC is obligated to complete a rigorous audit of McCain’s campaign coffers, which will take months, if not years, and cost McCain millions of dollars to defend.

    Obama is expected to escape that level of scrutiny mostly because he declined an $84 million public grant for his campaign that automatically triggers an audit and because the sheer volume of cash he raised and spent minimizes the significance of his errors.

    You gotta be kiddin’ me!! BO breaks his promise to accept public funding, sets up a website that invites fraudulent donataions, and then gets off scott-free for those same reasons??? “… minimizes the significance of his errors.” Holy crap. We are truly in Bizarro World now…
