Sarah Palin--witch free since 2005!

propublica has an excellent side-by-side comparison of where obama and mccain are in terms of policy positions on financial market reform.

Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, what world class Americans!

Now that Rice and McCain are on record confirming the U.S. tortured detainees, shouldn't War Crimes trials begin?

Just wonderin'.

Folks, It’s me “Don Rumsfeld hater”…..and I have a confession to make…..I’m ashamed but I have to confess…..my thinking is SO MUCH LIKE SARAH PALIN’S !
Let me explain….here….let me practice my cute kindergarten teacher voice a moment……..Ok OK I’m ready….here goes :
The bad guys are the ones that invade other countries
The good guys are the ones that don’t invade other coutries and steal their resources
(cute voice) The bad guys are the ones that starve millions of innocent people to death
The good guys are the ones who died from the sanctions
(caring mommy voice) the bad guys are the ones that kick the Palestinians off of their land
The good guys are the Palestinians
(good Christian Sunday school teacher voice) The bad guys are the ones that violate the Geneva Conventions
The good guys are the innocent taxi drivers being held in Guatanamo

(feel free to add to this list, but remember to use your sweet first grade teacher voice)

Sarah Palin has suspended her campaign to fly to DC and solve the financial crisis with a bake sale. She says she's qualified to deal with the economic woes because as governor of Alaska, she lived really close to an ATM.

That's funny shit. I've got to admit. Geez.

So now the christ-stains are going to blame god for their shitty pick of Witchfree Palin?

Yes folks, some unknown-unseen presence is exerting power in the world to make people do things. Why can't this all powerful presence stop with all the war and poverty? What kind of a power is he if all he does is punish and kill?

The delusional masses are a very scary bunch indeed.

Jack Cafferty: If Sarah Palin Being One Heartbeat Away "Doesn't Scare The Hell Out Of You, It Should"
Huffington Post | September 26, 2008 05:24 PM
________________________________________
Jack Cafferty unloaded on Sarah Palin's "disastrous" interview with Katie Couric Friday afternoon on CNN, telling Wolf Blitzer, "There's a reason the McCain campaign keeps Governor Palin away from the press."
After showing a clip of Palin stumbling over Couric's question about the bailout and offering an answer connecting the bailout to healthcare, Cafferty asked, "Did you get that?"
He warned the viewers: "If John McCain wins this woman will be one 72-year-old's heartbeat away from being President of the United States. And if that doesn't scare the hell out of you, it should."

Later, Cafferty continued, calling the clip "one of the most pathetic pieces of tape I have ever seen from someone aspiring to one of the highest offices in this country."

Cafferty's concerns were echoed by "a growing number of Republicans," according to Politico's Alexander Burns and David Paul Kuhn:
A growing number of Republicans are expressing concern about Sarah Palin's uneven -- and sometimes downright awkward -- performances in her limited media appearances.

Conservative columnists Kathleen Parker, a former Palin supporter, says the vice presidential nominee should step aside. Kathryn Jean Lopez, writing on the conservative National Review, says "that's not a crazy suggestion" and that "something's gotta change."

Tony Fabrizio, a GOP strategist, says Palin's recent CBS appearance isn't disqualifying but is certainly alarming. "You can't continue to have interviews like that and not take on water."

Paraguay's president says he turned down offer to meet Palin, laughing at the idea

"...suggesting that God chose Sarah Palin to defeat Barack Obama"

That sure doesn't give God much credit for judgement.

random saturday morning thoughts:

recently, in a "great moments in presidential speeches," david letterman showed a clip of george bush at a townhall meeting, sitting on a low stage with an "average walmart shopper." the woman was describing a problem with her tv and that after the tv repair guy looked at it he told her to call the cable company and ...

the woman was completely wrapped up in telling this story about what the picture looked like (black with white lines dancing) and how she had to do this and then do that and ...

george bush looked bored and annoyed. i can well imagine he was bored and annoyed. george bush has never been forced by circumstance to involve himself in the daily grinding minutiae of life that that woman and most of the rest of us deal with every minute of our lives. i could identify with her, because i have been there.

did the woman seem a bit ridiculous, with that frumpy body and those cheap clothes, telling an innocuous story? sure she did. she obviously doesn't go to the gym or eat an athlete's diet. and she buys clothes in her price range. we all have things in common with her. and the story is innocuous. the story she was telling happens every day, in different permutations, several million times.

what those hardcore republican-identifiers hopefully are beginning to understand is that republicans are not at all interested in your problems with your tv or what a pain in the ass it is to deal with all the crap we all have to deal with on a day-to-day basis just to keep it together, and god forbid you actually get sick.

george bush's boredom and irritation is a graphic illustration of the boredom and irritation that the republican party has with the 95% deadenders.*

let's hope enough of the 95% deadenders recognize that in november and vote democratic.

*the majority economic percentile of "just folks."

Keith @ 18:

Excuse me, but why the gratuitous hit on Fentie? The conviction was 34 years ago, he's been clean since, and had been pardoned. There's enough to damage Palin with without a stupid attack like that. Would you like it if foreign politicians attacked another one for meeting with admitted cocaine user Barack Obama?

or sort-of-admitted cocaine user george w. bush?

BREAKING NEWS!!!

McCain said "Horseshit" during debate

Andrew Sullivan was the first to spot it..

Yep: McCain clearly swore twice when challenged by Obama on his disdain for the Spanish prime minister. You can hear him cuss Obama out at around the 4:30 mark in this video. A little taste of what most of his fellow senators have had to listen to for the last two decades.

Link and Video (4:31 mark)

Hahahaha...Obama kind of smiles when McCain says it.
I forgot to add 'McCain expletive' to the drinking game last night. 5 shots of Jack Daniels Black.

No. McSame said "course not." The site has issued an apology and you can listen for yourself. Sorry, but it's just not true.

Yes, it is possible that the 'definition' of fascism changed over the years to exclude or avod its inevitable and constant Rightard associations.

Equally interesting to me has been the way that "socialism" has been coopted to describe Corporatist practices which are, in fact fascistic, strictu sensu: the interchangeability and gratuitous intermingling of the interests of 'corporations' with the state.

One of the worst was Bernie Sanders' gigging Larry Kudlow by conflating the bail-out with corporate something-for-nothing hand-out, which he--a soi disant "socialist"--called 'socialism.'

"n another Christianist email smear, a former employee of CBN and CampusCrusade for Christ, has posted an essay suggesting that God chose Sarah Palin to defeat Barack Obama."

I guess the CCC (formerly known as the KKK) don't see Hurricane Gustav (which translastes to "staff of God") disrupting the Republican convention when the weather was beautiful for the Democratic convention, Hurricane Ike being sent to George Bush's home state of Texas, and the worst financial crisis since the the Great Depression after the GOP has had control over all 3 branches of government for most of the past decade, all of this is a matter of months before the election, as a signal from Jebus to repent their evil ways and vote Democratic?

There's a good case for letting Wall Street burn or self heal, a depression could be the best thing to happen to American, in the long run.

The future, why the D word could be a bitter but good pill.

By many estimates, we are only a few years from serious decreases in world petroleum production. Any significant response to this crisis will, ironically enough, require more fossil fuel energy – it takes energy, after all, to manufacture insulation, rebuild railways, and make wind turbines, and most of that energy will have to come from existing sources. If energy prices spiral out of sight, many such projects will be out of reach. A depression, on the other hand, will force down demand, keeping prices from rising and making it possible to build for the post-fossil fuel era.

WASHINGTON - A group of hardline United States neo-conservatives and former Israeli diplomats were behind the controversial, allegedly Islamaphobic DVD which was recently distributed in US swing states ahead of November's presidential elections.

The 60-minute movie,Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West , was an initiative of the Endowment for Middle East Truth (EMET), but produced by the Clarion Fund, an organization described as a "front" for Israeli group Aish Hatorah.

Some 28 million copies of Obsession are currently being inserted in newspapers and delivered by mail in key electoral swing states - such as Michigan, Ohio and Florida which, according to recent polling, could go either way.

September 19, 2008 Bill Maher's New Rules

All right, New Rule: "Ain't no party like a Wall Street party, 'cause a Wall Street party don't stop." You know, if we're going to really reform Wall Street, can we start by figuring out a way to do business a better way than having a bunch of sweaty guys screaming and waving pieces of paper with numbers on them? This is supposed to be the most sophisticated financial system in the world! They look like they're trying to lay bets at a cockfight!

New Rule: Stop calling what's happening to the financial markets "an adjustment." An adjustment is something you do in your sweatpants when your penis falls out of your underwear. This is a cluster-f*ck.

New Rule: Bring back a little pubic hair. Not a lot. I'm not talking about reviving that 1973 look that said, "I'm liberated and I'm smuggling a hedgehog." I just want a friendly, fuzzy calling card that tells me I'm not going to get arrested. Can't we find some middle ground between toddler smooth and "Dr. Livingstone I presume"?

New Rule: I understand that we had to save this insurance company-[slide of AIG logo]-but if the one with the Cockney lizard gets in trouble, just let it die.

New Rule: And I never thought I'd be the one to say this, but the arms race to supply us with hotter, bustier weather women...must stop. Either that or at least give me time to reach a climax before you throw to the bald sports guy. I used to tune in to see if I needed a raincoat. Now, I wear a raincoat while I'm tuning in.

And finally, New Rule: If we can't, after all is said and done, make this election go the right way, at least we can save one man. I'm talking about young master Levi Johnston. He's the 18-year-old Alaskan hockey enthusiast who knocked up Sarah Palin's daughter, and the National Enquirer describes him as a "boozing pot smoker who doesn't want to get married." And John McCain thinks he found HIS soul mate.

You know, we've all recently seen how the evil henchmen of the Republican Party captured this poor innocent out of his natural habitat and forced him into a shotgun wedding. Because, when the 17-year-old daughter of the VP candidate is out to here, it's just better that Levi was introduced as "the fiancee." Looks a little less white-trashy.

But, that doesn't change the fact that right now Levi is America's number-one political prisoner. But, Levi, you don't have to be. This is the 21st century at least in the blue states. You don't have to do this. You have options. You can pull a - you know, a "Juno." F*ck, you LIVE in Juneau!

Or you could do what most people do with an unwanted child: give it to Angelina Jolie!

And, look, if you're worried about the baby, don't. I mean, let's get real, dude. The way you are, at 18, that baby is better off not being around you. You'll wind up losing it or shooting it or--it'll be on the bottom of your skate or something. Just - just let the Palin womenfolk look after it for a while. One more infant in that Mormon compound they call a house - won't bother anybody. They will barely notice another kid at the table.

And soon they won't even remember whose seed it was that produced young "Trink" or "Truck" or... Puck, or whatever f*cked-up redneck name the give it.

In any event, we here at "Real Time" have taken the liberty of purchasing the website, FreeLevi.org. There it is: "Free Levi." And, it is yours to use if you want to use it to get folks to contribute to some sort of liberty fund so you can get enough money to get out of that frozen meth lab they call a town.

And even if the money doesn't come in, it's not too late. Just grab your skull bong--climb out the window and get on the highway. I can't actually come and get you, myself, or even let you stay at my place, because I'm pretty sure you'd smoke all my weed.

But, just call me from the pay phone. I know of a safe house you can stay in until after the election. It's - it's like the witness protection program for baby daddies.

And, remember, Levi, California knows how to PARTY! Trust me, son, the girls out here are going to love a big, high-sticking farm boy like you. You play your cards right, in a couple of weeks, you could be screwing the lesbian right out of Lindsay Lohan.

Okay, so Wallstreet wants 700 billion to bailout their greedy little a**es, I say fine. Lets just tack on an extra 700 billion and bailout every single american and we'll start all over from scratch. Credit card debt - Gone. Auto loan debt- Gone. Mortgage - Gone. If my taxes are gonna get raised to bailout wallstreet I wouldn't mind doubling the bailout amount with the goal of wiping the slate clean for each and every American. Sounds like a win-win to me....

In last night's debate, John McCain claimed he would freeze spending. With the economy in such dire straits, what would freezing spending look like for a struggling economy?

I'm surprised this statement by John McCain isn't getting more scrutiny.

Really, just shutting down the NIH alone would cause massive job loss, more credit default, more home foreclosures, set the country on a path to irrelevance in the global health care market for generations, limit the training of new physicians and nurses, and severely impact the health of academic research institutions across the country.

The ripple effect would see a the health care industry taking a huge hit in producing new therapies and technologies, as the funding of bench research by the NIH has been an instrumental underpinning of medical advances.

I could go on, but I don't have all day.

Is John McCain insane, recklessly ignorant, or a dangerous reactionary?

It is very embarrassing that christianity is a haven for mediocrity, ignorance, superstition, & unimaginative thought. But on the other hand, I guess it is best way to keep it contained!!!! It is unfortuate someone with so much love and creative thought(Jesus) has had his name kidnapped by thousands of idiots. Christianity does not follow Jesus. I really don't know who they are really following. My favorite example is Jesus' opinion of the rich, which was negative. But you would never know it. According to the rich they stand closer to the cross and are more deserving than anyone else and that is why they are rich and you're not.
