Ok, I am slow on this, what did he do to get canned?

[txradioguy]

My vote, thin ice.  People that he works with that are catching wind of the scandal must be enjoying watching him twist.  He can't be very popular...he's a DUmmy.

I agree.

An observation.

I've noticed the DB types on the island, and in society in general, tend to be in their early to mid 60's and who were the "flower children" or were of the 1960's era. They had these dreams their generation would change the world, that they were going to buck the establishment, that once they got into power that peace and love would reign.

When the 80's came along, some of them (from their viewpoint) sold out and went from Hippies to Yuppies. Those that hung on finally got a president from their generation in Clinton. But after 2 years he lost the House and spent the rest of his term, in their words, being "the best Republican president ever."

Bush43 stole the election from Gore, of course, but he wasn't off their ilk anyway.

Along came Dear Leader, and he was going to finally be the one. The 60's generation was getting old, and their chances of changing the world into the utopia they just knew it could be was running out. Well, that hasn't quite worked out the way they wanted, either.

So the DB's are becoming more and more frustrated as they see the years, and their chances, quickly disappearing and they're lashing out. In Doug's case, he's fighting "against the man" the only way he can, as insignificant as it is. Others on the island are vocally become more and more outlandish in their viewpoints and their "demands."

They're at the end of their lives, and they failed.

I rarely see DUmmies under 40. One would think DU would attract them. I would guess they do not welcome under 40.

I must admit I have had similar thoughts but then I realize they may actually have won.  How? 

Young Voters Supported Obama Less, But May Have Mattered More

In winning reelection, Barack Obama won 60% of the vote among those younger than 30. That was down somewhat from 2008, when Obama won nearly two-thirds (66%) of the votes of young people. However, Obama’s youth support may have been an even more important factor in his victory this year than it was in 2008.

The divide between young voters and older voters was as stark this year as it was in 2008. While Obama lost ground among voters younger than 30, he still won this age group by 24 points over Mitt Romney (60% to 36%). He also maintained a slimmer advantage among voters 30 to 44 (52% Obama, 45% Romney), while losing ground among those 45 to 64 and those 65 and older.

What that tells me is that the 'chillen of the Boomers have been subverted by Big Ed which is owned lock, stock, and barrel, by the Boomer Generation's most liberal members.  They are good little progressive progeny who march in lock step with gore-bull warming, homosexuality, secular humanism, and woman's reproductive rights.  They are true believers in the God of Government, not the God of Our Fathers. 

The generation of Peace and Love may be dying off but the legacy lives on in the seed they have planted.  Think about this, in the sixties you could smoke a cigarette in public without fear of public scorn. Today?  You see groups of smokers huddled like hoods in the freezing cold.
