The Majority...

"Americans have been in the majority for the last two years; have you seen any improvement?" - John McCain


Really? You really goin' with that?


Great video of white people getting really mad.
Then they get happier once they chant USA! USA! USA! a few times. Finally, McCain speaks, and of course, well, he's retarded.

Too Good

You gotta love Fox News.


They darken the pixels and do a close-up to make it seem like the doll is wearing a head scarf. Too funny.

Not to Get Nuts Here

When a story breaks I usually like to read the initial news on it, then I tend to ignore it. Like, when I heard Sarah Palin's daughter was pregnant, I read about it, chuckled, then ignored it. When I heard Palin's daughter may have given birth already, but then they claimed it was Palin, even though no one ever saw her pregnant and she pulled her daughter out of school for 5 months with mono, I read about it, chucked, then ignored it.

When things calm down, I'll do a little reading then, and chuckle some more, like I'm doing now.

Just found these Palin Daughter photos online, which I'm sure those who have any interest have seen before. All I can think to myself is, "Man, this chick really hates her mom."

She drinks, shoots guns, has unprotected sex, gets pregnant, and the only time you see her smiling is when she's not with her mother.

Probably the old story of mom cares more about career than family, blah blah blah blah.

Prediction: daughter is in Playboy within two years.

Niiiice...

Nothing better than reading the words of one of my least favorite journalists in total agreement with me.

As I've stated from Day 1:
Well, ponder this: Eli Manning is now a better quarterback than Peyton Manning. At the current rate, his career achievements will at least match, and perhaps surpass, his big brother's.
Hmmm...

Of course, in true Gregg Easterbrook style, he takes it too far:
In other football news, the Miami Dolphins ran the Wildcat -- tailback at quarterback -- for the second consecutive game, and for the second consecutive game an NFL defense acted like it had never seen this standard high school tactic...With this tactic obviously working, why aren't other NFL teams jumping on the bandwagon? Anti-high-school prejudice! NFL head coaches want the world to believe they are super-ultra-geniuses using super-advanced insider knowledge known only to a super-select few. They don't want to admit that a coach could stroll into an offensive meeting and say, "Hey, let's try what we used to do in high school" and turn out to be right. Tuesday Morning Quarterback has been arguing for years that the NFL should pay more attention to high school football for tactics, safety regulations and coaching skills. Now the Miami Dolphins are proof that the NFL should indeed pay more attention to high school football. The NFL coaching guild does not like this one bit.
Actually, he's wrong, the way I see it.

NFL players are too good, and defensive coordinators, etc, too smart to allow the "wildcat" to work across the board.

If there is a little threat the QB will throw the ball, and teams can sell out to the run, they will stop it. The reason it's working in the NFL now, by one team, is other squads are not spending hours upon hours working on defending it. Maybe a few snaps a week, for one decent team, but that's it. If the option formation became a standard NFL offense that forced all teams to prepare for it the odds of it working would not be good.

However, lets take it further, where he could possibly be correct. Possibly.

You cannot run this offense the way the Dolphins are, with half back Ronnie Brown taking most of the snaps. Over the long haul if many teams ran this, it would fail. But if you were to take one of these "running quarterbacks" like Vince Young, and you actually let them run, then yes, it could work.

It always amazes me when NFL brass select QBs like Young or Vick, then think they can transform this amazing runner/athlete into a cerebral pocket passer. Not only is it unlikely, but it's also dumb. You're taking the one thing the guy does well and asking him not to do it. The one thing which made the player a high draft choice is no longer of value, yet you place an absurdly high value on that player. Don't you think if he could throw the ball consistently he would know how to at this point of his career?

This is why I've maintained from the get go Vince Young would be a spectacular bust. Vick I had more faith in because he could throw darts, but even so, he wasn't a great passer.

So let these guys run! Take a running QB, and sign him to a 6 year deal (yes, that's a long deal). Let him run, give him some extra cash, and let him get abused for a few seasons, but let him run. Would you not rather have a great Vick/Young for 5-6 years than an average/poor player for 10-12? I don't get it. A running QB with the threat of throwing could succeed. This man will get ABUSED, which is always the worry, but it can succeed on some level.

The Ronnie Brown method of having a running back run the offense, that cannot succeed.

Ha!

So I just visited Drudge Report (first time in ages, at the request of my cousin Jeff) and the headline is "BORING!"

Again, "Boring", by another conservative outlet, which only means one thing: Obama killed it.

I say this because conservatives waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited..........and waited and waited and waited........for McCain to...and waited and waited...to do something!

He didn't.

Therefore, Boring.

But Obama? He did things. He explained things. He discussed the differences between the two men. He pointed out problems we face now, and didn't look to the past; discuss his record.

Btw, where was Palin to yell at McCain for "looking backward" the entire time?!?!

Bottom line: Obama looked like a President (at least relative to McCain) and McCain looked like an old Senator.

On display tonight were reasons number 35, 52, 79, 182, and others, as to why Senators do not win debates: they speak endlessly and aimlessly. McCain was that guy. Obama, not to his credit in the Senate, has not taken to the floor nearly as many times as McCain, and has become more of a speechmaker/giver off the floor. He has not waxed endlessly, like McCain, so it works to his advantage in these types of situations. The man who also does this, and the woman who does not, is Biden/Palin, because they have/have not spent their time politically in this way. Hence, why Biden is considered the endless explainer.

Clearly, this works against McCain.

Advice: don't reference Herbert Hoover.

Advice: don't reference Ronald Reagan.

On the first point, no one cares about Hoover, unless you are replacing their vacuums.

On the second, you're not Reagan. Don't remind people of what a great Republican speaker looks like when you are so far from being a great Republican speaker. It's really just a reminder of what a bad candidate you actually are.

AND, as for Reagan, lets not pretend McCain is like Reagan, or that Bush was anything like him as well. For all of Reagan's positive/negative attributes, at the end of the day, he inspired many people, and this is something Obama has seemingly done, if not for a different class. McCain inspires people to hit the hay a bit early, and not read the news.

Reagan made people believe things would be better, even if they weren't going to be. McCain, not so much. He makes you think things are going to stay the same. McCain doesn't speak to Americans in a very real way, and this gets back to his CENTURIES in the Senate. Obama does not have this problem.

As I've been saying, and will continue to say, barring some photos of Obama having sex with farm animals in southern Illinois, this election is OVAH.

:-)

Anyone here ever read the book "What's the Matter with Kansas?"

Well, if you ever wanted to know, here's your answer.


That debate was a ridicfuckingliscious blowout.


I guess it's "boring" when an old white man races a black guy in the 100 meters. Doesn't make it less of a blowout.

I'm LOVING this.

David Limbaugh, brother of, writes this featured piece in GOPUSA (yes, I get the GOPUSA email alert every day with the hope I'll receive this very piece):
Don't Go Wobbly; Follow Sarah
By David Limbaugh
October 7, 2008

There are many reasons that Sarah Palin is energizing the conservative base. It's not just her authenticity, freshness, noble defense of traditional values, and vivaciousness. This lady is finally giving red-state conservatives a voice, and she's taking it to the other side without apologies.

Democrats are crying foul because she's confronting Barack Obama for his worrisome attitudes about America and his way-more-than-casual association with unrepentant domestic terrorist William Ayers. Some squeamish conservatives are counseling that we ignore this issue either because it is unpleasant and unfair or that it's a distraction from the "substantive" issues.

Nonsense. This issue is neither unfair nor a diversion. It is imperative that we learn the extent of Obama's intimacy with this man. It's vital that we examine whether this relationship is part of a pattern of Barack Obama associating himself with people and causes that are hostile to the foundational principles of this nation.
:-)

Like I said, all Palin, all the time.


DO NOT GO WOBBLY!!! VOTE PALIN!

Start Rigging

Them vote machines!
Thirty-seven percent of Ohio's registered voters say they've been personally contacted by the Obama campaign. That beats the 27 percent who've heard from McCain, and also surpasses the level of contacts by both campaigns in 2004, when Ohio was decisive.

Making and keeping such contacts may matter. Likely voters in this ABC News/Washington Post poll put Obama, Democrat of Illinois, ahead of McCain, Republican of Arizona, by 51 to 45 percent if the election were today. But it's not today, and there's room for change: Eighteen percent have not made up their minds for sure, much like the national figure. And movability peaks among independents, young and first-time voters -- the former a swing group; the others, two of Obama's best.
You really have to wonder about a machine that can't give a receipt, no?

Ya Think So?

I've been hearing in the news the last couple of days that Barack Hussein Obama is friends with a terrorist. You believe that, don't ya?

Well, if you do, you're an a) idiot and b) in denial since the President you probably voted for twice the past 7+ years had a closer relationship with the Saudis than any US head of state before him. And, in case you don't now, they actually fund terrorists who currently kill people.

But it's okay. It's your reality. Whatever you have to tell yourself so you can make it from bed to the shower to breakfast to work to lunch to the bar to the strip club, it's cool.

I'm thinking McCain is really on his last legs here by going this road. If he really thought there was a person in the US Senate friends with a terrorist why is he bringing it up now? And that goes for other things as well.

If he really has a plan to end the war in Iraq...

If he really has a plan to capture bin Laden...

If he really wants to go after these "pork barrel spenders..."

If he really wanted to do these things he'd have done them, or at least tried to.

As for McCain, the maverick, how do you think he'd feel if everytime he called himself the "maverick" who is "against special interests" Obama brought up Charles Keating? I mean, that's fair game, no? Is Keating not the reason McCain actually is against all of these things in the first place? Of course he is. He's like the gay guy who becomes priest.

Does anyone think for a second there was no wrong doing regarding Keating? COME ON!

Anyway...

McCain is grasping and gasping, and this is what you get: dirty politics.

McCain was actually cheating with Keating (that's nice), much more recently than Ayers was committing acts of terrorism. Not that it makes it right to befriend a terrorist, but I don't think Barack and Bill were hanging out, trying to perfect the pipe bomb.

Up Next?

More Palin. Palin. Palin. Palin.

The gloves are off.

Why? Not because she's great, but because they have no choice. This guy is drowning so they figure, lets just use Palin. People actually like her...for now.

So we'll be seeing a lot of her, and then this thing will come to an end, but not before the dirtiest campaign of all time transpires.

Sidenote:

No, I don't want to fuck Sarah Palin, as my friend suggested he wants to. Frankly, I don't find her attractive. In fact, I find her nauseating. Every time she speaks I actually die a little faster.

Again, no, I don't want to fuck her. But if I did it'd be really weird to watch her daughter get pregnant.

A Thought...

I think I just realized why Sarah Palin kept saying, "there ya go again, Joe, talking about the past..."

It's because she doesn't know anything about it.

McCare

McCain plans to help Medicare and Medicaid by cutting benefits from the two programs.

By taking money from the already needy program they will make it better.

I know, it doesn't make sense at all, and you'll probably never hear about it on the campaign trail, but trust him, it works.

In addition, his plan to privatize Social Security is another thing I'm sure he'll be talking about in the coming weeks.
