Who Would You Back For President?

Typically, when someone famous endorses a candidate it usually doesn't make a difference. However, will Oprah's endorsement of Obama make a difference since she is such a popular figure to middle class American? My guess is no. Good TV doesn't make a celebrity more intellectual about political candidates. In my opinion Oprah isn't good tv either. If you want real entertainment watch C-Span or football.

Best Wishes From Richardson and Clinton

I have decided to post e-mails from democratic candidates so people can get an idea as to what kind of information the political candidates are sending to potential voters.

This one is from Bill Richardson's campaign.

Dear xxxx,
I hadn't planned on any more e-mails before the holiday, but one of our volunteers in New Hampshire sent me this link from a television station in Manchester and I wanted to pass it along:
http://www.wmur.com/politics/14651842/detail.html
First of all, I love the headline: "Clinton Slips as Richardson Gains Momentum."
But what it shows is even more important. It says that Bill Richardson has "made the most headway" of any of the Democratic candidates and has doubled his support in New Hampshire since the summer. He is now statistically even with John Edwards and closing in on Senator Obama.
It also featured a nice quote from the Governor:
"I have campaigned everywhere, shook so many hands and visited so many New Hampshire towns," Richardson said. "I love doing it, but when you see the fruits of your labor producing momentum, that's where I want to be."
Richardson said he thinks voters are making the connection that he's qualified to bring change to the country.
"What's happening in New Hampshire is they are seeing me as a candidate who has serious experience -- as a governor, as a diplomat and as a secretary of energy," Richardson said. "That I've been able to bring change."
But perhaps the most important number in the poll is how many New Hampshire voters still don't know who they're going to vote for in the primary: a whopping 47%!
That's a huge number. And it supports the point we've been talking about for months. No matter what the pundits say, this race is still wide open.
I'm sure you're thinking more about tomorrow than next January right now. But as somebody who has played a big role in creating this momentum, I thought you'd like to know about it before you started your holiday.
I'm heading back to New Mexico tonight to be with my family but let me wish you a Happy Thanksgiving from everyone in the campaign!
All the best,
Dave

Another Richardson email


Dear xxx,
I love Thanksgiving.
I truly do. Every last thing about it is wonderful. I love getting together with family and friends. I love the meal. I love the football. I love the four-day weekend without having anything that particularly has to get done.
And of course, I love the fundamental idea behind it -- giving thanks for all the good people and good things in your life. This year, when Barbara and I sit down for Thanksgiving dinner, you and everyone else who has backed me for President will be tops on my list of things I'm thankful for.
Not only would my campaign not be possible without your support, democracy itself would not be possible without people like you getting actively involved in the process.
So, thank you. Thank you for all the help you've given me up to now and for sticking with me through the primaries.
For me, this year's going to be different than past years. I'm only taking Thanksgiving day off and then I'm back to campaigning.
But the temperature is supposed to drop down to 30 degrees in Santa Fe on Thursday so I'm going to honor one longstanding Thanksgiving tradition: I'm going to build the first fire in the fireplace of the season. That's another thing about this holiday that I absolutely love!
Barbara wanted to tack on a note so I'll sign off. But sincerely, thank you once again. And have a happy Thanksgiving!
I'll be in touch.
Bill
Hello xxx!
I just want to echo what Bill already said. Thank you so much for all of your generous support and faith in my Bill! It is truly touching to know that so many people across the country believe in him and what he can do for America.
I will tell you one thing I'm particularly thankful for this year, though. I'm thankful for having him home and all to myself for one whole day!
Happy Thanksgiving from the Richardsons!
Fondly,
Barbara

Hillary Clinton





Dear xxx,

I hope that you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I love this holiday, and celebrating together with family and friends.

Thanksgiving is also a time to think of those in need. Every year I am inspired by the outpouring of generosity from all over the country. I hope that this year you'll share in that tradition, whether you volunteer your time or make a donation to help others.

At our campaign offices in California, Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina as well as our headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, we're accepting donations of nonperishable food to help local efforts to fight hunger. If you're not near one of our offices in those states and would still like to give back this Thanksgiving, here are a few national organizations with information about how you can help.
• America's Second Harvest
• 1 800 Volunteer
• End Hunger Network
• Hunger Free America
This year, I'm so thankful to have you with me working for change. From my family to yours, have a very happy Thanksgiving.

All the best,

Sincerely,

Hillary Rodham Clinton

Time's Person of the Year

Here is a list of Person's of the year. Who do you think will win this year? Last year you won as did I and everybody else who has a pulse. I wasn't fond of last year's winner or several recent winners for that manner such as George Bush and George Bush, how he has won twice is beyond me.

British Have Dumb Laws

Here is a list of laws that are still active on the books for Great Britain. Have a good laugh

London (AFP)
Most ridiculous British law:

1. It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament

2. It is an act of treason to place a postage stamp bearing the British monarch upside-down

3. In Liverpool, it is illegal for a woman to be topless except as a clerk in a tropical fish store

4. Mince pies cannot be eaten on Christmas Day

5. In Scotland, if someone knocks on your door and requires the use of your toilet, you must let them enter

6. A pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants, including in a policeman's helmet

7. The head of any dead whale found on the British coast automatically becomes the property of the king, and the tail of the queen

8. It is illegal to avoid telling the tax man anything you do not want him to know, but legal not to tell him information you do not mind him knowing

9. It is illegal to enter the Houses of Parliament in a suit of armour

10. In the city of York it is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient city walls, but only if he is carrying a bow and arrow

Hillary Ads Words To Action

In case you don't live in Iowa or New Hampshire here are some ads from Hillary Clinton's campaign.











After watching these videos do you think that Hillary cares about America, that she is the only candidate who can make a difference, that she has a million ideas and not enough time to implement all of them? Unfortunately, I believe every commercial ad is the same, big talk small results. I am not saying Hillary would make a horrible President, cause she is definitely getting my vote. However, like all candidates, those running for president tell the American people what they want to hear even though the results will most likely be minimal. The simple idea of don't make promises you can't keep should be in every one's minds.

FEMA, Lies, Lies, & More Lies

Well Homeland Security is looking like it is still producing great results with FEMA. In case anyone has forgotten FEMA did not handle the Katrina disaster in 2005 very well. "Brownieeeeeeeeeeee you're doing a heck of a job" was not the case. Now in light of the various wildfires in CA, FEMA decided to creat an Ad hoc press conference which was missing one important element, the press. A notice from FEMA was given out 15 mins. prior to the press conference. Needless to say, the press was unable to make it with such short notice. So FEMA had some of it employees act as the press and ask what I would consider soft questions, like are you happy with how FEMA is handling the situation. Glad to see the Federal Gov't can embarrass themselves yet again. Go Bush Go!

Colbert For President!

Steve Colbert host of the Colbert Report on Comedy Central announced yesterday that he is running for President of the United States in 2008! He is only running in his home state of SC so obviously he is going to lose. He is also running under both tickets so he can lose twice! I wish he would take this seriously because the younger American population would probably vote for him since he is well-known and has not been corrupted by Washington. Go Colbert.

Big Toilet, Huge Crapper, The Biggest Shitter


Sim Jae-Duck of Seoul plans on creating the biggest crapper in the world. 1.6 million dollars will be spent to build a house in the shape of a pooper catcher. Sim was born in a bathroom and he plans to die in one as well, in this case his toilet house. Why would someone want to build a house in the shape of a toilet? Well other than it being so cool, Sim is an activist for proper sanitary facilities in poor countries. I wonder if Sim will also build the worlds largest roll of toilet paper or a bidet to accompany the big crapper keeper.

Al Gore Wins the Nobel Peace Prize

In his efforts to inform the entire world of global warming, Al Gore along with the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. Hopefully their message of the man-made increase in global temperature will not go unannounced to the current administration and other leaders of the industrialized world.

PETA Promotes Sex with PSA Ads

Does this commercial make an individual want to convert to a vegan type lifestyle? I haven't decided if this video would make such an impression on a man that he would no longer be interested in having a piece of meat for dinner. To be quite frank, I think this PSA would make a guy think of meat but it is probably more so of delivering it to the semi-famous Silverstone and not about eating slaughtered animals.

Don't Take My Toilet Paper!!!!


Great story on CNN.com. Apparently someone has been going into the Fond du Lac City County Government Center and swiping toilet paper since June. Can you really blame a guy? Sure the butt wipers is dare a say "crappy" but free is free. When I was in College and moved into my first apartment I would go back to the dorm in which I used to live in and take several roles every month. I didn't have to pay for toilet paper for almost a year. It was the one last thing in my life that I could enjoy and not have to pay. Go paper thief go!

Hell Froze Over!


Karl Rove resigns on August 31, 2007. When I heard the news at 5:15 a.m. CST a tear of joy rolled down the cheek. It is nice to know that a little pressure from the Democrats finally made the balding MC Rove quit. If this is not the reason at least it gives us proof that God exists.

Bush Abuses His Power

Harriet Miers will not be showing up to testify in front of a congressional hearing tomorrow. Numb nuts Bush says she has absolute immunity from congressional testimony. This is absolute bullshit. No where does a president have executive power to allow an individual refuse to show up to a congressional hearing. The Justice Department has no right telling the White House this is legal.

Free as a Bird, Libby Missed the Jail Bird

It must be nice to have friends in high places. Scooter Libby's 30 month sentence was commuted which is practically as good as being pardoned by the president. Libby will probably get a pardon by the end of Bush's run in the White House. Libby is still being charged a fine of $250,000. Must have been hard to come up with that money. Oh my mistake, the money was probably gathered from a fund raiser. Who would have given to that charity?

I hope the next president of this country realizes what a dumb ass the current administration makes the United States look to its citizens and other nations throughout the world.

Walken 2008

Well it seems Christopher Walken is still running for president in 2008. I was hoping he would have updated his crappy website by now, but he hasn't. However, there is a really nice letter you can use to get his name out in hopes of generating a popular grass-roots campaign. I hope Walken sticks with acting instead of running for president and making a fool out of himself. See below for the letter you can use to spread Walken's good name.


To: Friends, Family, and my fellow Americans
Subject: Get America Back On Track!

It's not too early to be thinking about the future of this country and who's going to lead it. Election after election we're given the "choice" between two unappealing candidates and have no choice but to vote for the one we dislike less. But now, that's about to change.
Stepping up to the forefront of politics is a new type of leader, motivated by his love for his country, not special interest groups. His distinct image and captivating voice you already know, and now it's your chance to make him the leader of the people, for the people, by the people. That's right... Christopher Walken is running for President.

Now, at this early stage of the campaign, is when the grass-roots voters like us can really influence the candidates we'll see in the elections. So take a few minutes to visit the Walken 2008 Home Page at http://www.walken2008.com, read about the man and his ideas, and send them a message of your support. This is how the system should work, and now's your chance to have your voice. Don't let it slip away!

Sincerely,
-A caring citizen

Top Ten Moments of Bush

NYC Great For Topless Women

Men and women can now smile when they think of New York City. Today NYC pays $29,000 to a woman who was arrested in 2005 for exposing her boobs in public. Turns out woman can flaunt their cans in public according to a 1992 state appeals court ruling which stated women had as much right as men to take off their shirts. Jerry Falwell is probably rolling in his grave with this decision. I on the other hand could care less, the lady made a cool 29k and probably made many men happy because of her shirtless action. God bless America.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Start Your Engines


And there off, all of the republican presidential candidates are driving down the track hoping and end up in first place. Earlier this year, wrinkled infested John M. was surpassing everyone and then good ole Rudy made huge strides to create a tie with John. Now there is a new leader in town and it happens to be a Mormon. That's right, Mitt is now leading the polls for the New Hampshire primary. Buckle your seat belt and enjoy the ride, it's going to be interesting to see who will prevail at the end of this race.

Great Words Of Wisdom From Our President

Pope Meets Bush


The Pope was able to physically touch his first Bush on Saturday. Are the alter boys jealous? No, wrong type of Bush. The Pope spent some of his precious time speaking with President Bush for the first time. The Pope informed Bush of his concerns with the Middle East.

Bush was in awe being able to meet Benedict for the first time since he became the Pope in 2005. I wonder what it was like having two conservatives in the same room at once who both think they have a direct line to God? Do you think the Pope was wondering how in the hell someone like George was elected into office? I still ponder that question myself.

Don't Drop The Soap Libby!


Scooter libby was sentenced to 30 months in jail! What a wonderful day for justice. That's what you get for lying to FBI investigators. If Libby's appeal falls through he will most likely have to serve only two years in the slammer (80 percent of sentence as required by federal government).

I think it is a fair decision considering the circumstances of the entire case. Cheney and Bush are not happy with today's verdict, however;they have no problem allowing Libby to act as the sacrificial lamb. My guess is Bush will eventually pardon Libby before the end of his presidency. Either way, at least our judicial system isn't complete crap (however it isn't great either considering the Supreme Court allowed Bush to win the 2000 election).

Thompson Is In?????


Ok, do you think a former senator and TV star is going to replace the Reagan years? Fred Thompson former senator from Tennessee announced his bid for the White House. All I can say is good luck. I don't understand why all of these republicans are trying to go back to Reganomic years. My god it is quite obvious back then and certainly now that increased spending and lowering taxes creates umm, it's a big word.....what is it? It's on the tip of my tongue, oh yeah it's called a deficit. If we want to continue on this path why doesn't the country choose Karl Rove as the next president?

Lil Bush Moves to Cable TV

I absolutely love the Lil Bush clips on YouTube and now it has transitioned to the Comedy Channel beginning on June 13th. If you hate the current administration you will surely love this show. My guess it will not last very long but cross your fingers. Anyone remember the show "That's My Bush?"

Obama Mentions Health Care


Obama is the second democratic presidential candidate that proposed a universal health care plan. Yet, it is not really a universal plan it is simply a proposal to lower the cost of health insurance to those who cannot afford it.

I think I would have to favor John Edwards health care plan more so than Obama's plan simply because Edward says it should be a requirement for everyone to have health insurance. This is comparable to auto insurance, no insurance no driving (well that is how it is supposed to work anyways).

I am glad to see more candidates are taking up the issue of health care. Major reform is needed and since the republicans are sitting with their thumbs up their butts it has become the responsibility of the democratic party. I hope every candidate proposes a plan for a better health care system. one million Americans without health insurance is too much let alone over 40 million.

Bush Implies The Queen Of England Is An Old Fart!

Bush like usual cannot speak like an intelligent human being. Please note, it is not nice to make fun of mentally challenged individuals, but when they somehow manage to become president anything goes.

Bush slipped yet again this time with the comment that Queen Elizabeth II has met with 10 U.S. presidents and helped the U.S. celebrate its bicentennial in 17... Well at least the moron caught his own mistake and corrected himself and said 1976. I know the queen is old, but claiming she is over 200 years old is probably an insult to the old bag.

Republican Debate


Did anyone watch the Republican debate? Well other than being boring and saturated with idiotic questions (no thanks to the moderators)it wasn't that bad of a show. The one concept that kept reappearing in the debate was Ronald Reagan. Republicans want to distance themselves so far from the current administration due to the lack of popularity Bush and Cheney have with America that the only character Republicans can refer to is Reagan. I just want Republicans to know one thing, Reagan hasn't been president since the 1980s. The world has changed in the last 18 years. Also, Reagan was not that great of a president. Yes, the man was very charismatic and could charm the pants off any political enthusiast but we must remember he was an actor. The man was paid to be charming. Granted, the man was passionate and truly believed in what he told the public (if he could remember what he said), but he did not accomplish anything as president other than demanding the Berlin Wall be torn down. Why associate the 2008 elections with Reagan? Do we need higher deficit spending? If that's the case we might as well associate the Republicans with Bush since he has managed to keep up Reagan's deficit spending tradition.

Obama Needs Secret Service


Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama is placed under Secret Service Protection because of increased threats and a heavier campaign schedule. Other candidates could receive protection as well if they meet certain basic qualifications. According to law enforcement there has not been a specific threat, but there has been hate mail and threatening calls which could probably scare anyone who is addressing the public as much as a presidential candidate. I hope any threat is simply just that a threat and nothing more. Idiots who make threats are nothing more than insecure cowards who believe their propaganda bullshit is the only method or alternative to making the world a better place.

Boris Yeltsin died Monday afternoon due to heart failure at the age of 76. The charismatic alcoholic was the first democratically elected president of Russia in 1991.

Yeltsin's political career will certainly be remembered as a controversial time in Russia's history. RIP.

Gonzales Hits The Chopping Block


Tomorrow will be an important day for the Attorney General. Gonzales is going to appear in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee to answer questions regarding the firing of eight U.S. Attorneys last year. Gonzales better choose his answers carefully and not further embedded himself in the lies such as when he said he had no part in the firing of the eight U.S. Attorneys. I hope Sen. Charles Schumer rips him a new asshole making Gonzales accountable for his actions. I thought former U.S. Attorney Ashcroft was worthless (remember he lost his senate seat to a dead guy)but Bush's buddy may take the cake.

Cheney Thinks Dems Are Whimps

DICKhead Cheney thinks the Democrats will puss out and will pass a bill that will have no time constraints for troop withdrawal. I hope this friend shooting S.O.B. is wrong. Backing down on partisan beliefs now is a sign of weakness for both parties. The only difference is the Democrats are correct and Bush doesn't know what the hell he is doing. The only problem that will arise with this bill is the veto. I doubt the Dems will have enough votes to overturn a veto.

White House is Missing 5 million emails

Can any conservative explain this one? How can the federal gov't specifically the executive office, lose five million emails? I have worked for state and federal government and everything is backed up. Hell the back up tapes are even taped. To say five million emails are missing indicates that the Bush administration is yet again hiding information, doing something sneaky, and probably illegal. Some emails requested during the Scooter Libby trial are amongst the missing messages. I wonder how much corruption is allowed in our government at this point. If Clinton can get impeached from screwing a blimp (sorry conservatives, I mean lying while under oath)why can't Bush get slapped on the wrist?

Hillary Loves Basketball, Hates Imus


Here is an email I got from the Hillary Campaign:

When our children are young, we teach them to dream big and reach for the stars, and that if they work hard enough they can accomplish anything.

This year the Rutgers women's basketball team defied the odds and lived up to their dreams, providing inspiration to every little boy and girl beginning to pick up a ball or open a book. These remarkable young women reached the pinnacle of success and won the hearts of basketball fans everywhere with their grace, skill, and poise. They are role models deserving our praise -- and our support.

Don Imus's comments about them were nothing more than small-minded bigotry and coarse sexism. They showed a disregard for basic decency and were disrespectful and degrading to African Americans and women everywhere.

Please join me in sending the young women of Rutgers a message of respect and support. Show them that we are proud to stand with them and for them.


Just because the old fart is a bigot, why do we have to incorporate this into the 2008 campaign? I don't think Imus has any political influence over any election. The man is older than dust and I am willing to bet not one of the Rutgers women's basketball players have even heard of Imus. Hillary we all know that you support African Americans, women, all minorities, etc, after all you are married to the first black president. We don't need to hear about your thoughts on the issue. Imus screwed up, big time. By giving his comments more attention he will gain free publicity, which will probably give him higher ratings (which he does not deserve). Please do not add fuel to the fire in the media on this matter. There are more important issues like the War in Iraq, Attorney General scandal, etc.

Anna Nicole Smith's Baby Has A Daddy




Dannielynn's father is Larry Birkhead. I guess her birth certificate will need to be changed considering it has Howard K. Stern as the father. Now that Anna's moment in the spotlight has come and gone the media can focus on more important issues like talk show hosts who make racists comments and how Bush blames the Democrats for passing a bill that has non-binding requests to have the troops come home from Iraq. Of course we must not forget a certain Attorney General as well. Gonzales/Justice Dept. was subpoenaed to provide additional info in regards to the firing of 8 U.S. Attorney Generals. I wonder what the House Judiciary Committee will find when additional info is provided.

George Bush Lies Again


The Senate Budget Committee (a nonpartisan research service)said the Pentagon could fund the war in Iraq through most of July. George the lying Bush along with General Peter Pace indicated that if Congress did not approve an additional spending bill (which they did)by April 15, military operations would be affected. Bush failed to say that the Pentagon has a lot of flexibility with money and can transfer funding from other projects. Of course funding will be available if Bush keeps his pen in his pocket and doesn't veto the $122 billion spending bill to fund the war. However, Bush has made it quite clear that he is going to use his presidential power and veto the bill. I wonder what else Bush might be lying about when it comes to Iraq. Do you know?

Senate Passes War Spending Bill


Hot Damn! The House and the Senate voted on the war spending bill, which narrowly passed through the legislature. Bush complains that the Democrats are unwilling to fund the troops with this bill. I don't see how $122 billion is not funding our brave men and women in Iraq. Bush will likely veto the bill because of the troop withdrawal concept.

"We stand united in saying loud and clear that when we've got a troop in harm's way, we expect that troop to be fully funded," Bush bellowed, "and we got commanders making tough decisions on the ground, we expect there to be no strings on our commanders." Did Bush forget about checks and balances? No strings attached would be a political nightmare and cause a government shutdown. I think the bill which was passed would however meet the needs of the commanders by fully funding the war efforts.

Bushy stated, "We expect the Congress to be wise about how they spend the people's money." Considering Bush asked for the money, why is approving $122 billion unwise?
Bush is basically pissed that his party lost the midterm election, doesn't have complete reign over the federal government anymore, and can't do as he pleases like before. This is because America has spoken, we are sick of lies and worthless foreign policy lead by the Bush Administration. Bush doesn't have a 28 percent approval rating because he is doing a fantastic job. I can understand the Republicans idea that having a set deadline to leave the sandbox is idiotic because it gives the terrorists an advantage. However, I don't think this is the point the Democrats are trying to make. The main objective is letting Bush know there is no reason to believe that we can take control of Iraq, it is an endless war, which America started (America being Bush and his worthless cronies). Why have more Americans die when there is no end in site?

John Edwards

Say a prayer for John, Elizabeth, and family.

The House Makes A Point

The House of Reps narrowly passed a spending bill to fund the Iraq war. The most significant aspect of the bill was a deadline to bring the soldiers home. August 31, 2008 is the set deadline to have our heroes in uniform return home. The bill passed 218-212. Although the similar bill in the Senate is unlikely to pass and surely Bushy will veto it if passed through both the House and the Senate, a significant point has been made. The point being we have options! Considering Bush's approval rating is at 28 percent, I hope the elected officials who are proxies for America will realize that we are not happy with the current administration's lies, promises, and utter bullshit that comes out of their mouths. I doubt our troops will be home by August 31, 2008 but at least the statement is out there that we are ready for the war to be over.

That being said, I need to bring up the point that it is America's fault for the war, or at least those sitting in the White House who put us there. When I hear people say, "Let Iraq fight their own war," it is very upsetting. Iraq is now in a civil not because of their choosing but for the simple fact we ran over to the Middle East and took out Saddam. Granted Saddam was a piece of shit, but at least he kept terrorist groups from infiltrating the country. If Saddam could do this why can't the U.S.? Maybe because we are trying to propose democratic means which are quite effective for our country but not for others.

Family Guy Clips



Karl Rove

Valerie Plame Speaks



Valerie Plame spoke to Congress today about the leaking of her name by the White House. Plame accuses the White House of leaking her identity as a CIA operative. Earlier this month Libby was found guilty for his involvement with this case. When asked how Plame felt about the whole ordeal she responded, "I felt like I had been hit in the gut."

Damn straight she was hit in the gut. When assholes in the White House think it is perfectly fine to leak info about Valerie just because they don't like her husband is complete and utter bullshit. Smells like Karl Rove to me. If we have learned anything from this it is every government agency is becoming too political. The CIA is supposed to be used to protect America not help current administrations gain political standing. Such acts not only hurts our intelligence department, but damages any credibility our nation might have with its citizens and other nations. This makes me wonder why in the hell should we have the Patriot Act when Bush's cronies will use any info they get not to protect our country, but to gain political power for the Republican Party. Thank god there is only 675 days left of this administration.

A Glimpse From The Past

Would you want this to run our country? Contract With America didn't work the first time and it won't work this time in 2008.

Newt Admits He Is A Whore


Newt Gingrich confessed to James Dobson (a conservative preacher)that he was screwing around at the same time Clinton was being impeached. The only difference is Newt isn't a bad guy because he wasn't lying about jumping on top of a young lady. I bet if Gingrich was asked if he was a cheating slut he would have done the same as Willy.

Nevertheless, Newt makes the confession so that it will not bite him in the ass when he declares his bid for the White House. I am sure all of the conservative wackos will support him because he agrees with their political views, despite the fact he fails all of their ethical standards. Examples: Divorcing his first wife and telling her about it just after she was recovering from cancer, leaving his second wife for the young congressional aid who he was having an affair with and eventually married.

Personally I don't give a damn if a politican boinks a dozen women at once, but if christian conservatives vote for him they are all hypocrites

Obama Pays Parking Tickets 17 Years Later


Well this story will give Obama haters something to heckle about since he is now obviously a dishonest politician (can you feel the sarcasm). Barack Obama finally paid 15 outstanding parking ticktets which were issued between 1988-1991 while he attended Harvard Law School. Obama paid $375 in tickets and late fees shortly before he announced his bid for president. If this is the worst thing Obama has done he might have a shot to win the Democratic nomination. I am sure Hillary has done much worse. If Bill can place cigars in an ugly woman what is Hillary capable of doing?

Libby is Guilty!


Not a big surprise to see I. Lewis Scooter Libby was found guilty on 4 out of 5 charges today by a jury. The best part of the outcome was a statement from one of the jurors. "We're not saying we didn't think Mr. Libby was guilty of the things we found him guilty of, but it seemed like ... he was the fall guy," said juror Denis Collins. I am glad to see that jurors who saw all of the evidence believes that the Bush Administration maybe a bunch of crooked idiots who are throwing our country into a downward spiral.

Cheney issued a statement indicating he was quite upset with the verdict. He is probably more worried that he will be the next one on the list to be convicted of the CIA leak.

"I am saddened for Scooter and his family," Cheney said. "As I have said before, Scooter has served our nation tirelessly and with great distinction through many years of public service."

I wonder if anyone would repeat the same kind words about Dick. I know I wouldn't waste the time.

Bush Can't Remember If He Cut Education Funding

Rudy Leads The Republicans


The right may want to reconsider there thoughts on former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani. Many hardcore conservatives are against Rudy because he is pro choice and his acceptance of gay couples. For the right wingers they may want to keep in mind what is worse a moderate Republican or a Democrat sitting in the Oval Office? According to the latest Newsweek Poll, Rudy is beating McCain 59 percent to 34 percent. Rudy is even out polling Barack and Hillary. Although it is very early in the race, it may be worth while to keep your eyes on Giuliani. The man is gaining more popular by the day and we are still a long ways from the 2008 election. If Rudy doesn't screw up during his campaign he may end up as the new president. I hope Democrats realize this.

Clinton and Obama Fight For Black Voters



Hillary and Obama will be fighting this weekend to gain support from the black voters. Both will be in Selma, Alabama on Sunday observing the 42nd anniversary of a civil rights march. It's hard to say who will gain more support of the black constituents, a candidate who is half African American or the spouse of the first black president (Old Willy was given this title by Toni Morrison). Both have an advantage for this weekends political meet and greet. Obama has the pleasure of giving the keynote address at a local church, which will undoubtedly give him some attention by local and perhaps national media. However, Bill Clinton is being inducted in the National Voting Rights Hall of Fame. Anytime Bill is in the media is bound to be good for Hillary as well. Hillary couldn't ask for a better spokesperson. The question now is are you sick of having Clinton and Bush's running our country? Is it time to have fresh meat? If so, then Obama might be the best choice. Experts say Obama doesn't have enough experience, yet this might be his greatest asset by not having the pleasure of being engulfed in the Washington hoopla. It seems the idea of bringing new perspective into the White House is always appealing to voters. This is why someone from Texas is now running the show.

Clinton on Iraq

Check out her thoughts on Iraq. She doesn't exactly agree with the President. What do you think, should we stay in Iraq or pull out? Listen to Clinton's thoughts and state your opinion.

Hillary Comments On Tom Dropping Out Of The Race





By reading the statement below that Hillary made in regards to Tom Vilsack it somewhat sounds like he might be a VP candidate. However, other VP rumors are Tom Daschle, and Bill Richardson (even though he is a presidential candidate at the moment). I wonder if Al Gore would run for the VP spot again since his popularity has sky rocketed thanks to his movie? Check out Hillary's statement in regards to Tom dropping out of the race due to the money factor.

2/23/2007
Clinton Statement on Vilsack Withdrawal
Following is a statement released today by Senator Hillary Clinton:

"I have been proud to work with Tom Vilsack for years on the challenges facing our country, and I have a deep admiration for both Tom and Christie.

"Tom has made Iowa a leader in renewable energy and created thousands of jobs as one of America's great governors. We share a passion for protecting America's young people through expanded health care options, early childhood education initiatives and opening the doors to higher education to every American.

"I know he will continue to contribute to the dialogue about how to move America forward."

Bush As A Jedi

Bush and Oil

Tom Vilsack Is Out

Big money has already killed a presidential hopeful. This comes as now surprise considering the big dogs are banking more mucho dinero than previous campaigns. Sadly, the root of all happiness is also the killer of all happiness. Yep you got it, money. Tom Vilsack, former Gov. of Iowa withdrew his bid for the White House on Friday. I highly doubt Tom would have won the Democratic primary, however, I hate to see the competition dwindle because of financial expenses this early in the race. The one thing we can learn from this is that money wins elections and that it doesn't matter if you are a horrible politician with no insight on how to lead a country as long as you have a lot of green in your pocket.

2004 election Bush spent $419 million.

Spears Checks In.........



Well Britney Spears checks into rehab after spending the weekend shaving her head and getting a couple of new tattoos. Didn't see this one coming right? Anytime a celeb screws up they go into rehab and everything is back to normal. Funny thing the same time Britney Spears goes into rehab Lindsey Lohan left. Lohan spent a month in rehab for her drunken ways of partying all night long. Guess how Lindsey celebrated her completion of rehab? That's right she went to the clubs. This does not mean she drank when she was at the club......yeah right. Who in the hell finishes rehab and then goes out to celebrate by hitting the clubs? I know they are called drunks!

Evolution

Iraq War Is Just Like The Revolutionary War


"Today, we're fighting a new war to defend our liberty and our people and our way of life." George W. Bush was comparing the Iraq War with the Revolutionary War and the hardships that George Washington went through as the first president.

All I can say is 701. No I am not talking about North Dakota's area code. I am referrig to the number of days before George W. Bush is kicked out of office.

TSA Employees Earned The Right To Have Rights



The Senate Homeland Security Committee has voted to allow Transportation Security Administration employees to have collective bargaining and whistleblower protection rights. On a party line vote of 9-8 Democrats have now given TSA Employees rights that many other federal employees already have. Republicans excuse that allowing TSA to have bargaining rights will hinder its flexibility to respond to terrorism is a load of crap. If this was the case then why can civilians in the Air Force and U.S. Customs and Border Protection employees have bargaining rights? I would think these agencies need to respond to terrorism as well. TSA employees should be entitled to the same basic employment rights as other federal employees. Way to go Democrats!

Rudolph Giuliani Doesn't Trust Bush


Presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani stated on Larry King Live, "I'm not confident it's all going to turn around," referring to the war in Iraq. Bold statement for a fellow Republican who is running in 2008 for Bush's spot. At least Giuliani speaks his mind and isn't afraid of the consequences. Other shocking ideas that Rudy supports is pro choice, gay rights, and gun control, three concepts that Neocons are against. Even though Giuliani doesn't support abortion and is fully aware of the second amendment, he does believe in equality for all humans. I wish some Republicans in Washington D.C. would pay more attention to Giuliani. If I was Republican I would seriously consider Rudy for the head position. It is hard to say if he would be able to maintain his current perspective on politics or if he would be sucked in by the RNC propaganda (e.g. Cheney, Rove, etc.).

Gov. Romney True Story

This guy has money, check this load of crap.


Rudy Giuliani Earns Endorsement


"Today I’m announcing my endorsement for Rudy Giuliani for President of the United States. I really have taken a lot of time and really thought about who I would be supporting and working for during this presidential campaign......" Quote from Congresswoman Candice Miller (R-MI)

This is an idiotic statement to make so early in the campaign. It's bad enough all of the candidates are starting their campaigns right now, but to have a Congresswoman give her endorsement at this time is moronic. I would like to know what Miller considers a lot of time when deciding on who she should endorse. She hasn't heard any of his viewpoints let alone other candidates. I don't expect Miller to vote for a Democrat, but at least look at all of the Republican Candidates before you make an endorsement. It is far too early to make an endorsement. Public opinion will surely change from now until the primary election. If Miller is this quick to make decisions for endorsements I can only imagine what her voting record is like in Washington. Typical Republican, acting on impulse instead of thought.

Clips of Anna Nicole Smith

Anna Nicole Smith Trying To Talk

Booze, Broads, and Boobs...RIP Anna Nicole Smith


Anna Nicole Smith infamous for being a Playmate of the year, her modeling for Guess Jeans and for her ability to persuade a fossil worth over a billion dollars to marry her. Smith has defiantly been in the lime light this week with news of her death in her hotel room in Florida. Conspiracy theories are already in the making considering the recent death of her 20 year old son, pending lawsuits with TrimSpa, her attempts to inherit her deceased husband's fortune and discovering who is the father of her daughter.

The most common rumor on the Internet and TV is Anna Nicole Smith died of a drug overdose. The question I pose is what about TrimSpa? Fen-Phen a one time popular product for weight loss was taken off the market by the FDA because of studies linking the product to heart valve problems. Smith's Rx pills found in the hotel room were not found in her stomach, thus not resulting in a suicide attempt. If one weight loss pill could cause heart problems, is it unlikely to think TrimSpa could do the same?

Wearing Diapers For Love


Would you travel 900 miles and wear diapers so that you wouldn't have to make as many pit stops? I know astronauts wear diapers when they are taking off and landing, but when you are not in the shuttle what the hell are you thinking Lisa Nowak?

I am glad to see that a Navy captain is dumb enough to possibly try and kill Air Force Captain Colleen Shipman and can still be set free on bail because after all she is one of the few who can call themselves an astronauts. What in the hell is our judicial system turning into these days? I don't care if you are the president if you try to kill a fellow military officer you should stay in jail or at least be put under house arrest.

It's amazing what a woman will do for love. Sure Navy Cmdr. Bill Oefelein was seeing two women at the same time, which might not be smart but certainly not illegal unlike attempt of murder. I guess Lisa Nowak couldn't get enough of riding only one type of rocket. Riding in one must not be as fun as riding on one. The worst part other than the nut case may have tried to kill someone is the simple fact that she is married. Reports state that Nowak and her husband of 19 years recently separated a few weeks ago. Do you think they split up because she is psycho or maybe she was screwing someone else. Either way, I hope NASA screens their future astronauts more closely.

Bush's Budget Proposal


Info from The President's 2008 Budget Proposal:

The President’s 2008 Budget provides $481.4 billion for the Department of Defense’s base budget – a 62 percent increase over 2001. In addition to base funding, the request includes $93.4 billion in supplemental appropriations for 2007, and an additional $141.7 billion in 2008. It also includes a $50 billion allowance for 2009. This combined request will ensure a high level of military readiness, enabling the Department to respond to evolving and adaptive enemies, while sustaining traditional advantages in U.S. conventional warfighting capabilities by:
Supporting operations in the War on Terror: As a nation at war, the top priority is to ensure servicemembers have the resources necessary to fight and succeed in the War on Terror. To date, $426.8 billion has been provided in supplemental appropriations for the War on Terror; the 2007 and 2008 request would increase this amount to $ 661.9 billion.

I ask you if we increase the Defense Budget by 141 billion bucks in 2008, how will we balance the budget in 5 years and still have tax cuts that would cost an additional $374 billion during this timeframe? My intial thought would be cuts is Social Security, Education, Medicare, etc.

Bush bitches to Congress to quit throwing pork on new bills, yet he is essentially doing the same thing with his 2008 budget proposal. Hopefully Democrats will be on their toes and will say "hell no" to Bush. I hope Sen. Kent Conrad has his red pen out.

"The president's budget is filled with debt and deception, disconnected from reality, and continues to move America in the wrong direction," Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad (D-N.D.) said. "This administration has the worst fiscal record in history, and this budget does nothing to change that. It clings to the same misguided policies: costly tax cuts that primarily benefit the wealthiest, cuts in domestic priorities, and more fiscal irresponsibility."1

My prediction is the Colts lead by Peyton Manning will win tonight's game 30-19. Chances are it will be a rather boring game. Let's just hope the commercials are up to par for entertainment purposes since the game will most likely have more field goals than touchdowns.

Is Barack Obama The Next Abe Lincoln?

Could Barack Obama be compared to Abe Lincoln? Yes and no. Barack has many similarities with Honest Abe. Both are soft-spoken individuals who know how to give a speech. Lincoln served four successive terms in the Illinois House of Reps and later as a U.S. Representative. Obama was elected to the Illinois State Senate in 1996. On January 3, 2005 Obama became the junior senator for Illinois and currently serving as the only African-American in the U.S. Senate.

There are several differences as well, one being Lincoln was elected president twice. Barack has yet managed to do this; however, this is his first attempt. If history is destined to repeat itself Obama may be in trouble. Obama ran for a U.S. House of Rep position in 2000, but lost. One of the most obvious differences is party affiliation. Lincoln was the first Republican President. Obama, a Democrat, would be the first African-American to hold the position.

Probably the most significant difference between Lincoln and Obama is the campaign trail. Lincoln did not give speeches or campaign to win the presidency. Lincoln was elected thanks to Republican efforts at the state and local level. Although grass roots efforts are still vital to win an election even today, Obama doesn't have the luxury of not making speeches, which can be criticized by the media and fellow contenders.

It could be an interesting election with Obama running. Both Lincoln and Obama were underdogs in their respective party, but as Lincoln proved it doesn't matter. Even the low man on the totum pole can be victorious and change the world as we know it today.

Check out Obama's announcement on the web.

Clinton in Iowa

Check out the article that is on GazetteOnline.com

Article published: Jan 27, 2007
Clinton campaign hits the ground in Iowa
By Rod Boshart

The Gazette
rod.boshart@gazettecommunications.com


Des Moines Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., brought her 2008 presidential campaign to Iowa Saturday -- pledging to rebuild the middle class, renew the American dream, and take a strong but smarter stance against terrorism while redeploying U.S. troops in Iraq.

"I'm running for president and I'm in it to win it," the former first lady told a boisterous rally that drew an overflow crowd to an east-side high school.

While in Iowa, Clinton faced tough questioning on her vote to support a resolution that led to U.S. military action in Iraq, saying there "are no do-overs" even though lawmakers were misled by the president who misused his authority to pursue a policy "that was poorly conceived and incompetently executed."

At the same time, she said, Congress and the president now must "bring the Iraq war to a right end" by placing more responsibility for security on the Iraqi government while capping U.S. troops and gradually redeploying them out of the sectarian conflict.

Having seen her state directly hit during the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Clinton said believes this nation is engaged in a deadly fight with "heartless, ruthless enemies" who would strike America again if they could do so.

"As a senator from New York, I lived through 9/11 and I am still dealing with the aftereffects," Clinton said. "I may have a slightly different take on this from some of the other people who will be coming through here."

By the same token, she said she would not allow GOP rivals to try to seize the upper hand on the security issue as they did in the 2004 presidential campaign.

"I believe strongly that as a Democrat and a progressive, we have to tell people what our vision is and what we want to do and set out a positive agenda -- and I intend to do that. But I also believe that when you are attacked, you have to deck your opponent," she said.

"We've got to be prepared to stand up and hold our ground and fight back," she added. "I want to run a positive, issue-oriented, visionary campaign, but you can count on me to stand my ground and fight back. People who are going to try to derail us, I'm going to make sure we respond to vigorously and effectively."

Jim Hutter, a political science professor and former state party central committee member who asked her to explain her vote in support of a resolution that Bush used as authority to establish the current U.S. military presence in Iraq, said he was satisfied with her answer.

"I thought it was a great answer," said Hutter, who backed former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean in 2004. "It's the question that has dogged her campaign to this point."

Clinton said she was looking forward to the retail politicking as part of a crowded field vying for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination in a selection process that begins next Jan. 14 with the Iowa caucuses.

"I'm going to go out and try to earn your votes," she told participants at her "let the conversation begin" rally. "I want to be in your living rooms and in your church basements and in your union halls.

"I want to have this as a one-on-one conversation, you and me and several hundred national press," she joked to a cheering throng -- including a man wearing a "this is what a feminist looks like" t-shirt -- that waved hand-painted signs, chanted and clapped her first name in unison at times, and cheered her ideas and answers.

"You go girl," one woman yelled after Clinton responded to a question about her trying to become the first female U.S. president after 43 males have held the post. "You go with me," Clinton responded.

Not everyone was so welcoming. One man dressed in a heavy parka stood in the chill January wind outside the rally site and held a sign emblazoned with a Communist hammer and sickle that read: "Defeat Hillary Clinton and Jane Fonda."

Overall, however, Des Moines attorney Bonnie Campbell, a top Clinton ally in Iowa and a former gubernatorial candidate, said Saturday's reception had a "really friendly feeling" given that the former first lady is returning to Iowa to "reintroduce" herself as a presidential contender.
