“Then she calloused and hardened those toes into durable, tough ‘nobs’ which gave primal man a good, tenacious grip on the ground.
“Since Nature makes no mistakes, we made no mistake when we copied her and invented the ‘Nobby’ Tread. Tough, resilient callouses that grip the ground with all the tenacity of Adamite toes. . .” [Ad copy]
[Note: The term “Adamite ancestors” in the ad likely refers to descendants of Adam, as in Adam and Eve from the Bible. However, the term also has a more specific historical context. The Adamites believed they had regained the primeval innocence of Adam and Eve before the Fall. They practiced nudism during their religious assemblies, rejecting marriage and other social norms, which they saw as unnecessary in their state of regained purity. This sect was often considered heretical by mainstream Christian authorities.]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54004884213_699beaae6d_q.jpg "Wed, 2024-09-18 11:15 - “Nature makes no mistakes in her ‘inventions.’ Among the million or so things she ‘invented,’ were feet for our Adamite ancestors to walk on – and toes to make walking sure.

My anarchist nature is loving the transparent collapse of the established order under Mr. Obama:
Nobody likes the bumbling crony capitalists at BP, least of all countermoonbats, considering that they gave more money to Comrade Obama than to any other candidate in the past 20 years and were lobbying to enrich themselves at the price of our country's ruin through the Cap & Tax conspiracy. But the rule of law applies to everyone, even lizards low enough to crawl into bed with Obama and then get knifed by him. Like Congressman Joe Barton, I find it alarming in the extreme that the President of the USA can exploit an accident to shake down a corporation for a $20 billion slush fund.
…
Quoting the Stalinist thug Ed Schultz:President Obama, you are the dude.
The president takes the heads of BP behind closed doors, shakes them down for $20 billion, and gets an apology. …the president of the United States took on a multinational, shook them down for $20 billion for the American people. President Obama got more out of BP than the Congress ever has.
And just remember, weeks ago the Democrats were trying to lift the liability cap from $75 million to $10 billion. … President Obama doubled the amount in a 20-minute meeting.
The $75 million liability cap was no obstacle because under Hopey Change, laws can be changed retroactively into whatever the Manchurian Moonbat wants. This is how it works in tin-pot dictatorships of the sort Ed Schultz and the rest of the liberal media are trying to make of America.
The lefties are all in disarray thanks to their messiah’s incompetence. The righties can’t come up with a campaign strategy any better than “We’re not Barack!”.
Meanwhile, most of the world keeps turning. When will the proles realize they don’t need a heavy-handed government to protect them?
If Anyone But Bush is replaced by Anyone But Barry, isn’t the next step Anyone But Government? Eventually people have to stand for something instead of running against something.
