My bicycle mechanic and I were discussing the Presidential election today as I 
 Advertisements [?]installed a replacement part on my single speed and as we were talking about October Surprises and the very real possibility that if the race gets close enough the NEOCONS could steal this one too....

I mentioned the voting machines, and then HE said (and I paraphrase):

"I think the White House is going to instigate Israel to hit Iran while Obama is there, actually right there in Israel, and then he'll either have to stand there and condemn Israel from the middle of the conflict, or he'll have to admit that talking to Iran is off the table.

They'll make it look like Israel is defending itself."

I get home after 2 hours in the woods flogging myself stupid on that very singlespeed and lo-and-behold BUSH is sending an envoy to talk to Iran during some UN palaver to the surprise of the talking heads and then I realize that if (when) that meeting proves fruitless, Bush has all the ammo (!) he needs to green light the strike.

'Can't talk to the Ter'rists, We tried that and they go and bomb Israel'

Low blood sugar? Histamine reaction to blackberry thorns?

Is my mechanic on to something??
 


on something, more like it.

I know the DUmmie is implying to do so would be sinister.  Personally, I like the idea. 

Go Bush!  Go Israel!  Eradicate Iran!  Neuter Obama Hussein!  Explode DUmmie heads!

Bicycle mechanic?

WTF?

One cannot expect the great minds of the DUmp to figure out how a bike works and then actually repair it.  That is below the loftiness of vaunted positions.

Especially a Single Speed bike.  It seemed the poster went out of his way to point out that he had a single speed bike.  WTF do you need a mechanic for that for?  :whatever:

Hell, when I was 5 I knew how to take my single speed apart and put it back together.  And I got a pretty low mechanical aptitude.

What confuses them is that they can't find the end of the chain to string it through the sprocket. :confused:

Well Tucker, It takes too much work to put half the chain on the sprocket and jump on the pedals to make it go on all the way. :bawl:

I gotta admit, you have to be an inept mofo to have a damn bicycle mechanic. I was taking my entire bike apart and greasing bearings when I was 7.  :whatever:

Personally, I think the chain slipped and the DUmmie has 'broken' the family jewels.
