That the "Clintons4McCain" group were nothing more than a McCain campaign hoax, watch this footage...

JOHN McCAIN: "VERB, NOUN, I WAS A P.O.W.!!!"
Just like Saint Rudy and his "Verb, Noun, 9/11" answer to every single question he ever got, John McCain is now using the tactic to deflect criticism of "I Dunno How Many Houses I Own-gate" (yes, legally, every "scandal" now has to end with "gate.")
On Jay Leno last night, McCain was all laughs and giggles until it came time for the question, "Soooooo, just how many homes DO you own?!" *wink wink, nudge nudge*
Suddenly McCain got defensive and stated, "I spent 5 1/2 years in a prison cell without -- I didn't have a house. I didn't have a kitchen table. I didn't have a table. I didn't have a chair, I spent those 5 1/2 years ... not because I wanted to get a house when I got out."
I have a feeling this isn't going to be the last time McCain plays that card between now and the election. I say we get a drinking game going! One shot every time he mentions being a P.O.W. and two shots every time he refers to us as "My Friends."
We'll be drunk in the first five minutes.

FUCK FOX NEWS! FUCK FOX NEWS!
What the hell did this Fox News reporter THINK was going to happen as he walked directly into a group of protestors in Denver for the Democratic National Convention?!
I've watched this five times and still can't stop laughing! What a dumbass.

OBAMA IS DONE BEING NICE
It's about time he started fighting back. If you allow the Republicans to control the arguements and are constantly on the defense, you'll lose. Every. Single. Time.
Just yesterday, John McCain was asked, "How many houses do you own?" (Newsweek is reporting he might own up to a dozen properties, and it's been catching a lot of buzz on the campaign trail.)
So John McCain, Mr. "Ready On Day One" answered, "I'm not sure...you'll have to check with my staff."
When the media checked with the staff, they stated "four...we think." But now, it's up to seven.
And Obama's capaign sensed blood in the water and are hitting McCain HARD on this. (As well they should! All McCain has done during this campaign has tried to paint Obama as "out of touch" and "an empty suit who you can't trust.")
That ad is so fucking incredible. It's personal, but not distorting a single fact. It's painting John McCain as "out of touch" without comparing him to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.
You started this, McCain. Obama's going to end it.
**UPDATED**
Look at this shit...this isn't an "official" McCain ad, it's from a 527 group called "American Issues Project" but you know behind the scenes they're high-fiving each other, thinking this is going to be the kind of smear that sticks.
It's vile, disgusting, and is right out of Karl Rove's playbook:
Seriously. If they're this desperate NOW...what kind of shit are they going to be making up in October?!
"DO YOU REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEALLY KNOW OBAMA?! HE'S BLACK, YOU KNOW!!! THERE'S BLACK PEOPLE IN PRISON RIGHT NOW FOR KILLING COPS!!! MAYBE OBAMA KNEW THEM TOO?! I MEAN, THEY ALL LOOK ALIKE, RIGHT?!!!"

OBAMA FIGHTS BACK AGAINST SOUNDBITES
Both of these are just great to watch. Especially the first one:
"It's like these guys take pride in being ignorant!"

SIGH...
...and just when I said I was going to focus on the positive and wait until something political catches my eye, I come across this story seconds later...
MAN HECKLES OBAMA ABOUT THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
Is this what's it come down to? The fucking pledge of allegiance?! THAT'S what we're going to heckle Obama with now?! And props to Obama for being like, "Well why don't you lead it then, jackass!" (not a real quote, but oh how I wish it was!)
Man, I feel GREAT about this November. We actually have a solid candidate for once, who the GOP can't seem to find ANYTHING IMPORTANT to hammer away at him, who speaks with a passion and a vigor that captures the ideals of what makes this country great, and who we can vote FOR instead of having to vote against the lesser of two evils.

TIME TO UPDATE THIS BLOG, WITH SOME BOOBIES!!!
Sorry about the lack of blogging lately. I imagine as the election gets closer, I'll have more venom to spew. But for now, let's focus on the positives, eh?
Like CANCER! YAY!!!!
It's a sad state of affairs when my friends are raising money for breast cancer for the team my wife and I created in honor of my Mother before I get off my lazy ass and do it myself. Sigh. Thanks Colleen. As if I needed another reason to feel inferior to you. (Colleen runs 35 mile marathons as if they were a walk in the park. And, in a way, they are...but with more jogging, snakes, spiders, and hippies than you're probably used to!)
So, if you'd like to witness her lap her husband Erik, Molly, me, my brother Kelly, his gal Erin, Molly's sister Meg, her husband Matt, and the rest of Cuck Fancer (clever name, eh?!) come on down to Union Station this Sunday at 7:30am. Yes, AM. Fuck me, I'm going to be sore come 8:15...
But if you don't live here in Kansas City, (and shame on you if you don't) but still want to help out, we'll totally take your hard earned cash here and spend it on alcohol...er..."Breast Cancer research."
Seriously, it's a good cause and we would deeply appreciate anything you could spare. The amount of progress they've made in the past decade with fighting breast cancer is remarkable. Let's hope within another decade it's about as scary as the idea of me wearing a headband and leg warmers, getting all sweaty and out of breath before 8 in the morning.

PURITY BALLS
It's actually, not as sexy as it sounds. Turns out they're for Fathers and Daughters to make a pledge that they won't have sex until they're married. (the daughters to someone else, silly...not marrying their fathers!!!)
Oh, and there's swords!!!
Symbols and Substance
After dinner comes the ballet performance, when seven tiny ballerinas in white tulle float in; then seven older dancers carry in a large, heavy wooden cross, which they drape in white, with a crown of thorns. Four of the five Wilson daughters are among the dancers, and they offer a special dance to their father, to the music of Natalie Grant: Your faith, your love And all that you believe Have come to be the strongest part of me And I will always be your baby ...
Then Randy and his friend Kevin Moore stand in front of the cross, holding up two large swords, points crossed. Fathers and daughters process beneath the swords to kneel; the girls place a white rose at the base of the cross while the fathers offer a quiet blessing.
But the best, the absolute best part of the entire article is the following:
Out on the terrace under an almost moon, the black swans have vanished into the lake. David Diefenderfer has slipped outside for a cigarette; he's a leathery South Dakotan in a big black cowboy hat, and he hands over his card. HAVE GUN, WILL TRAVEL: BREEDER SERVICE, it says, with a picture of a syringe. He's in the cattle-reproduction business. He's also the father of nine children by seven women.
Nine children by SEVEN DIFFERENT WOMEN?! His balls are anything but pure.

DO DEAD PEOPLE WATCH US?!
There's a lot of bullshit articles that tempt you to click on them as you're logging into your email, and usually I pass them by...but this one was too good to pass up.
Some highlights:
***
What is the difference between a medium and a psychic?
A medium is a psychic, but a psychic is not necessarily a medium. Someone who is just psychic can give you a prediction, but they can’t tell you where or who they got it from. I (and other true mediums) not only can tell you what is going on and what will happen, but we can tell you who on the Other Side is bringing the message. I’m the whole package, baby!
***
I love how she tossed in the "and other TRUE mediums!" Are you telling me that there's fakers out there who can't really talk to the dead?! For shame! How do those assholes live with themselves?!
***
What do we look like when we die?
We no longer have any physical appearance. We’re pure energy. When I’m doing a reading, the dead do have ways of showing me some appearance that allows me to describe them to their loved one on this side, but to be honest, I don’t know how they do that.
***
She doesn't know how they do that?! Why not ask them?!
***
Do dead people watch us shower? Does Grandma know what I like to do that in bed?
Sure they can! And Grandma certainly does … They see us in the bathroom and they see us in the bedroom! But who cares? They’re dead! Who’re they gonna tell anything?
Don’t freak out. The thing you need to remember is that they are not in the flesh — they remember the flesh, but it’s not of any concern to them any more. They’re not judging. It’s not like they’re going, “Whoa! Has she got a big butt!” or “If I was him, I’d shaved that!” or “Holy Moly! Did ya ever see such a big …” Well, you get the point. The dead are not “Peeping Toms” — they don’t get any special thrill out of “watching,” it’s not entertainment to them — that’s thinking in human terms. They just look at it like human nature, like we might see two animals going at it and just look at it as animal nature. Maybe we might smile, or even laugh. But it’s not judgment. We don’t expect a couple of dogs or squirrels to be embarrassed that we see them doing what they’re doing. Yes, the dead certainly do see us in the shower or making love, but it’s just like we might witness an ordinary act of human kindness. We don’t judge it. We just smile and think, “how beautiful.” They are just happy that you are experiencing love or maybe just one-night-stand pleasure. They are happy for you. The dead are not nearly as stuffy about sex — not even our dead Sicilian fathers!
And before you even ask the question — yes, they also see all our secret, sneaky behavior —they see us raiding the refrigerator and scarfing up the ice cream and the leftover lasagna when we’re supposed to be on a diet; they see us picking our nose when we can’t find a kleenex. Again, in their eyes, it’s just ordinary human behavior. No judgment. They also see us in the operating room and in the classroom, and at our holiday table. They enjoy with us all the events we celebrate in our life and they also walk us through our sorrows and heartaches.
Is it possible to ask the dead for a moment of privacy? Can we have a “Would you please avert your eyes, Grams?” moment with the Other Side?
I hate to break it to you, but, no. Even if you said, “Don’t look,” that wouldn’t stop them. What about God? You never think about God looking, right? It’s the same thing. Does God ever stop looking? No. When your grandparents are over there, they are one with God. You can’t just turn that off or hide from it.
***
See, I read this and laugh my ass off...but what scares me is that there people who actually read this childish bullshit and take it as "fact?!" I mean, really...Grandma is up in Heaven watching your every moment? Does God hand out ginormous binoculars once you enter the Pearly Gates?! And how boring is Heaven that THIS is how she'd rather spend her eternity?!
And just when you think this article can't get any stupider...it does:
***
Do the dead have sex?
No! They are energy forms so they don’t have the same needs and desires of the flesh. They don’t make love, they don’t eat anything, and no, they don’t go to the bathroom. They’re in spirit form, not flesh. I know, you’re probably thinking, “No food? No sex? I’m not going!”
Is there such thing as a “dirty old ghost”?
Well I didn’t exactly say that the dead didn’t have a sense of humor about the body and being in the flesh. They may touch someone or push someone, just to show they can do it. I’ve twice had a spirit actually try to make love to me. Very strange, but not scary — of course I can’t speak for everyone on that count.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAT?!

E3 VIDEOS OF AWESOMENESS
E3 just ended yesterday, and left behind tons of trailers to get us gamers (losers) all sorts of excited for the remainder of this year. Here's what caught my eye:
SILENT HILL: HOMECOMING
(the movie was shit, but Molly and I love these games. She solves the puzzles, I kill the no-face-big-boobie-nurses!!!)
SIREN: BLOOD CURSE
(a download-only title for PS3...it's going to be broken into 12 "episodes" that make up an entire season of this "documentary" that follows silly Americans wandering into haunted Japanese villages.)
RESISTANCE 2
(...did you just watch that clip?! That's simply 3 minutes of what this incredible game has to offer. Boss fights that are straight out of the biggest Hollywood blockbusters!)
MOTORSTORM 2: PACIFIC RIFT
(just an insanely fast racing game that also has beautifully detailed graphics)
MIRROR'S EDGE
(it's rare to play a "first person perspective" and NOT have it be a "shooter." This seems to be one of the most innovative games coming out this year...or maybe 2009)
I'm sure I'll post more videos as I come across them. Overall, it was a pretty decent showing this year.
