THE FUNNIEST THING ABOUT SNL'S PALIN SKIT...

...was that they used Sarah Palin's exact words...and the audience STILL laughs as if it were comedy!!!

THE DEBATE HASN'T EVEN HAPPENED YET...

...but McCain has already won?!

That's fucking rich. He goes from "I'm suspending my campaign until we reach a deal on this bailout!" (Even though the campaign offices across the country never closed their doors, you could continue to donate to his campaign on their website, and he, himself kept appearing on news programs every night) to "Oh, I guess I can't be in on any actual meetings dealing with the bailout since I'm not on any of those commitees, so lemme go ahead and debate afterall!" to "By the way, I already won it, bitches!" in the matter of three days.

This election is done being close. McCain has completely destroyed any hope of being taken seriously after this week.

SARAH PALIN, YOUR NEXT VICE PRESIDENT

I take back every mean thing I've ever said about this woman. Especially after watching the 3rd clip.

Part One


Part Two


Part Three


Ok, ok...I'm a total fucking liar. She's got an incredible talent in that I actually feel sorry for her and feel for my country's well-being every single time she talks. I mean...Holy shit. How about that amazingly thoughtful "good guys vs bad guys" diplomacy arguement, eh? Who needs nuance in times of war & peace?! Just go with your gut!!! Cause that's reeeeeeeeeally worked out nicely for these past eight years.

Not to mention that it just came out in the news recently that Israel wanted to strike Iran's nuclear facilities earlier this year and BUSH (of all people) told them no! How's that for not "second guessing" them?!

Sarah Palin. When it comes to foreign relations, (and most everything else) she makes Bush look smart.

GO HERE NOW!!!

Support Obama, support local artist Matt Hawkins, and create kick-ass paper toys at the very same time!

ARE YOU SHITTING ME?!

Here's the deal for all you haters out there, telling me to quit picking on McCain. I'll stop bringing up the stupid shit he does when he quits doing stupid shit.

Like SUSPENDING HIS CAMPAIGN?!

I was off work today, and spent most of it playing De Blob, away from the computer...so when I watched Countdown and heard that McCain was suspending his campaign and wanting to delay the Friday debate, I thought it was a joke. Surely he's not that stupid? Surely he knows the media and late-night talk show hosts are going to have a FIELD DAY with that kind of insanely ridiculous decision...

But no. It was true.

And boy, was Letterman all over him tonight:

He canceled on Dave to appear on Katie Couric's Evening News WHILE Letterman was taping!!! TV doesn't get any better than this, folks!

Sorry, John. Running for President is tough. Being President is even tougher. This ain't high school volleyball, you don't get a timeout if you're winded and behind on the score board.

THINGS THAT CHEER ME UP

I've kind of been in a pissy, bitter mood today. Luckily, I have the internet and some free time (finally) to create a lil' list of things that bring a smile to my face!

De Blob!

It comes out today and I can't wait to play it when I get home!

Lego Batman: The Video Game

Also comes out today, and Lex is all sorts of excited, thanks to these kick-ass McDonalds toys!

Kid Robot Simpsons figures!

I haven't actually found these in stores yet...but it's been a couple weeks since I've made it out to the comic shop. So they're probably just waiting for me.

Cold War Kids * Loyalty to Loyalty

Fucking fantastic album that reaches much farther than their debut did.

Jenny Lewis * Acid Tongue

Again, a terrific follow-up to her incredible first release. I secretly enjoy her solo stuff more than the Rilo Kiley ones.

"RIGHT, BUT THEY ALL SPEAK MEXICAN, RIGHT?!"

That's the only thing missing from all of this nonsense. One extra quote that would have shined a light into what the hell John McCain could have possibly been thinking when he answered a question about meeting with the Spanish Prime Minister Zapatero, by talking about Mexico and other Latin America countries.

Seriously.

A BLOG POST TO CHEER EVERYONE UP (UNLESS YOU'RE "ANONYMOUS")

I'm going to go ahead and warn everyone (all three of you reading this) that I'm not going to hold back on this blog post. This is bound to be the craziest, most obscene, and angriest blog I've ever written, and most of it isn't even directed at "Anonymous."

OK, it is. And every stupid mother fucker like him. They are the reason this country gets stuck with Presidents like George W. Bush for eight god damn years. Two terms. They're the ones who saw the first four years and went, "Yeah I'd like more of that please!" The kind that "Thanked God" Al Gore wasn't President on 9/11, cause he would have given the terrorists a Powerpoint presentation and then hugged some trees.

The kind of asshole who has supported the most divisive, wedge-driven administration in our Nation's history...and is now telling me to "be nice" and to not "be sarcastic" with Sarah Palin. Don't make fun of John McCain because he's old! These fucking Republican asshats could have given a rat's ass about the elderly, or working Mothers, or pregnant teenagers, UNTIL THEY WERE ON THEIR SIDE. Then it's totally different.

It's like hating homosexuals...except the one you work with, cause he's kinda nice. And not threatening. HE'S okay, but the rest of them are going to totally burn in Hell. Especially if they attempt to get married!!!

I have a hunch I know who "anonymous" is and it's not just the fact that he came over here and started talking shit, (Check out the comments to the "EXACTLY" post down below with the Simpsons as McCain and Palin to see what the fuck I'm talking about.) It was the way he's trying to give me advice. Telling me that I'm making things worse for the Democratic party and how it's because of people like me that "Independents are going over to McCain in droves!" Letting me know that I'M part of the problem.

Oh, and it was because he was too chickenshit to own up to his words. Which is fine. If I was spreading this much bullshit all over the internet, I wouldn't want to leave my name either.

So here it is. Laid out for the world to see. Much like how Walter responds in The Big Lebowski, "This is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass!!!" (...or just attempt to argue with me about politics. I go all out, fo' reals.)

Here's his last comment, (before I changed the settings so that "anonymous" is no longer an option to post under) that I'm going to tear apart piece by piece:

**********
Even if someone from the McCain campaign said Obama was a Muslim(I'm not aware of anyone who has.), what difference does it make? Since when is calling someone a Muslim a slur? Obama himself has said he's a Christian and I'll take his word on it.

Why do you think Obama is so qualified to be President? Obama himself said in 2004 he didn't think a run for the Presidency in 2008 was a good idea:

As to the name calling and sarcasm, it's up to you. Look at the polls and the size of the McCain/Palin rallies to see what the continued personal attacks are doing to help the other side.

The Obama "attacks" seem to have been questioning his associations and trying to find out what the public record has shown who he is. The associations came to the front when everyone looked and saw there isn't much of a public record out there on him. Repeated efforts to access documents on his time in the state house were turned back because reporters were told no such records exist.

However, I've heard no one speculate whether his daughters are in fact his or not. I've heard no one question his ability to be President while having young children. I've heard few, if any, hard questions directed at Joe Biden and his record in the Senate.

All I have to say is if you look at Obama's record and his purported claims that he will bring a new climate of bipartisanship to Washington and compare it to the record, and you do the same with McCain, there isn't much of a comparison.

As to Palin's response to the Bush Doctrine, look at what the person who coined the phrase has to say about that:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/12/AR2008091202457.html?hpid=opinionsbox1

It's fine to support your candidate. We'll likely have a difference of opinion on who we're voting for this year. But if you don't recognize that the Obama/Biden campaign is selling out the central reason they were running to begin with, you're going to be disappointed on November 5.

P.S. If you want me to sign my name, change your blogger setup so anonymous isn't an option. Based on the infrequency of the comments your blog is receiving, I'd recommend not doing that since it's likely to keep the number of comments even lower than they currently are.
**********

Wow, that last line really hurt. Well, I suppose we'll just start from the top, eh?

Even if someone from the McCain campaign said Obama was a Muslim(I'm not aware of anyone who has.), what difference does it make? Since when is calling someone a Muslim a slur? Obama himself has said he's a Christian and I'll take his word on it.

Holy fucking shit. Are you kidding me? Since when is calling someone a Muslim a slur?! In a political arena?! It's fucking suicide!!! Wake up and smell reality. There's nothing wrong with being Muslim, (aside from racist mother fuckers thinking that "your kind" blew up the towers on 9/11 and thinking that Iran and Iraq all get along since they wear the same towels on their heads) the same way there's nothing wrong with being an Atheist. But try and get elected in this country with that being public knowledge. Fucking try. (oh, right, we have ONE person in Congress who is openly Muslim. Out of 500 or so slots. What amazing odds!!!)

You're either naive or stupid to think that calling Obama a "Muslim" wasn't some attempt to get people scared of him. It was basically the 21st Century way of saying, "Don't vote for that N*gger." My Nana lives in the Southern town of Joplin, Missouri and STILL tells me that the reason her neighbors aren't going to vote for Obama is because he's Muslim, and her response is, "So what if he is?!" to which I have to remind her, "But Nana, he's a Christian!" If you say something enough, people start to believe it.

Why do you think Obama is so qualified to be President? Obama himself said in 2004 he didn't think a run for the Presidency in 2008 was a good idea:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BnLozS-TnM

Oh, so now we get to start holding people to what they said four years ago? As long as the clip is available on youtube?! Good.

John McCain was for a "Respectful Campaign" before he was against it


John McCain was for "Privitizing Social Security" before he was against it


And Keith Olbermann nails him on so many different positions, I can't even list them all here


I think Obama was being honest in 2004 when he didn't want to instantly run for President and then saw the candidates the Democrats were offering and began to change his mind. And to be honest, I'm not against people changing their minds. This "flip-flop" bullshit is what you REPUBLICANS started throwing around. I think there's a difference in why Obama has changed his mind and why McCain changed his...and it's about pandering, not rethinking the situation. McCain USED to be a Maverick. Now he's "Bush The Third, with some change on the side!"

The Obama "attacks" seem to have been questioning his associations and trying to find out what the public record has shown who he is. The associations came to the front when everyone looked and saw there isn't much of a public record out there on him. Repeated efforts to access documents on his time in the state house were turned back because reporters were told no such records exist.

However, I've heard no one speculate whether his daughters are in fact his or not. I've heard no one question his ability to be President while having young children. I've heard few, if any, hard questions directed at Joe Biden and his record in the Senate.

This is my absolute favorite Republican talking point. This, "Let's play 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon with Obama and see who we can tie him to!!!" It makes the "He called Sarah Palin a pig...with lipstick!!!" controversy look valid. William Ayers! He totally tried to blow up the Capitol! When Obama was 8 years old! Then, 30 years later, Obama served on a council with him! Surely he has a time-traveling machine and is able to Quantum Leap that shit back to finish the score?!

Seriously? That's all you got?

Oh, what about Rev. Wright?! That crazy preacher who said crazy things!!! Unlike every other preacher, ever?! Listen, you want to start associating candidates to their church, let's take a look at Palin's...




And since you bring up Obama's daughters, let's pause for a second and imagine that they were older, and one of them got knocked up. You telling me that America and the Republicans wouldn't be using that and DESTROYING them throughout the entire campaign?! BULLSHIT!

Imagine this is a young black male, who knocked up the candidate's daughter...the election wouldn't even be close.


Look, it's getting late and I need to get up and go to work in the morning, but I just want to make one thing clear. Both sides are talking about CHANGE. Obama's been talking about it for 19 straight months, McCain latched on a few weeks ago. Your side is going to lose. You can't win by co-opting the message. Believe me, I know. I rooted for Gore in 2000 and Kerry in 2004. Both of them tried to appeal to the "middle" and co-opted the Republicans message. They fucking lost. (or had the election decided by the Supreme Court)

It might be close now, but in due time, once people get off the "Sarah Palin is MORE EXPERIENCED than Obama" high and start really thinking about it...realizing that just because the fuckers on TV repeat that line over and over and over again, doesn't make it true. They're going to wake up. They're going to see McCain is the one being negative. McCain and his dipshit of a VP pick are going to be the ones turning off the Independents. They've lied about their campaign rallies and the number of people attending, they've lied about her NOT accepting any Earmarks and being against the Bridge to Nowhere from the beginning. They've even lied about if Sarah Palin had been to Iraq or not. Even the AP is calling them out on this bullshit!

I mean, even today, as the stock market lost more shares than it has since 9/11, McCain is the one STILL telling the American people that "the fundamentals are strong!"

That's who you think is going to win this election?! Sorry, but I've seen the war-hero candidate who married a rich woman, changed his mind every other day, and constantly appeared out of touch to the American people before. He didn't win four years ago and he's not going to win this time.

(PS...Feel free to register and actually sign your name to a comment below...or just go back to posting on your MySpace blog, which gets SOOOOOOOOOOOO many comments, and act like I don't know exactly who you are.)

DO THEY THINK WE CAN'T YOUTUBE THEIR BULLSHIT?!

Um, you can't change the rules just because you think the American people are too stupid to notice...

#1. Karl Rove just stated that “McCain has gone in some of his ads — similarly gone one step too far and sort of attributing to Obama things that are, you know, beyond the ‘100 percent truth’ test.”

#2. White House Press Secretary Dana Pernio claimed that bin Laden WASN'T the "mastermind" of 9/11 afterall:

Q: But Osama bin Laden is the one that — you keep talking about his lieutenants, and, yes, they are very important, but Osama bin Laden was the mastermind of 9/11 –
PERINO: No, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was the mastermind of 9/11, and he’s sitting in jail right now.

It'd be funny if it wasn't making me puke.

EXACTLY.

OMG!!! OBAMMA TOTTALLY ADMITTTED HE'SS MUSSLIUIM!!!

Be aware folks, this video is already making the rounds on the internet and into email attachments like wildfire. Since they have no issues or record to run on, they MUST keep up these silly, out-of-context smears...

THIS IS THE VIDEO YOU'LL PROBABLY SEE:


...AND HERE'S THE ACTUAL INTERVIEW WITH THAT LINE IN CONTEXT:

It's around 2:40 into the video.

Feel free to copy these videos and send them right back to the ignorant mother fuckers attempting to keep this BIG election about SMALL issues.
