Oh Brother…. Must be a slow day in Political News.
Quote:
ABC News’ Sunlen Miller Reports: While Obama spent 91 minutes at a campaign event yesterday, the Illinois Senator spent a total of 188 minutes in the gym yesterday – making three separate stops to Chicago gyms over the course of one day.
The presumptive nominee started his Tuesday with a short morning work out at the gym of his friend and longtime aide Mike Signator’s apartment building.
After flying to Indiana for a campaign event, and doing a round of local TV interviews, the Senator returned to his home in Illinois where he spent the afternoon hitting two more local area gyms for the duration of the day. Obama first visited Signator’s gym again, returning home briefly and then going to East Bank Club, a downtown gym which Obama regularly plays basketball. – Obama Hits the Gym, With Multiple Repetitions (via ABC News: Political Radar)
Jack Moss over at Macsmind says Obama was pumping Iron. Of course, if Larry Sinclair is to be believed, that isn’t the only thing that Obama likes to pump. 😮 😯 😉
Of course Obama’s campaign went out of their way to indirectly discredit the guy and expose his criminal record.
He might be manly, but he’s still a commie Liberal.

Barry does a joint party with Hillary and forgets to ask supports to support her. Whoops!
But about two minutes later Obama bounces back onto the stage. Waves his hands. Had he forgotten to mention about the jobs program?
The music stopped. Or maybe he neglected to praise his distant cousin Dick Cheney?
“Hold on a second,” he shouted. “I got one more thing.” Oops! It seems Obama had forgotten to mention the part about giving money to Hillary Clinton in the spirit of unity, the whole reason they were gathered there in the first place.
“Sen. Clinton still has some debt. And I could have had some debt — if I hadn’t won — so I know the drill. There are many supporters of mine here who have not yet given something to help her retire that debt. I would be very grateful if you looked under your chair. I think there should be an envelope or a pledge sheet or something.
“If people would take the time not only to pick it up but put something in it and mail it back…that is part of the process of making sure that we’re unified…Allright, turn on the music again. Let’s keep on partying.”
And so they did. In perfect unity, no doubt. – Clinton and Obama do joint fundraiser but he forgets the fund part | Top of the Ticket | Los Angeles Times

Heh…. Someone’s nuts. 😉
A totally crazy Saturday-morning thought: Wouldn’t George W. Bush make an awesome high-school government teacher? Wouldn’t it be something if his post-presidential life would up being that kind of post-service service? How’s that for a model? Who needs Harvard visiting chairs and high-end lectures? How about Crawford High? (Or wherever?) Reach out and touch the young before they are jaded, or break them of the cynicism pop culture and possibly their parents have passed down to them. Whatever you think of President Bush, he’s a likable guy in love with his country with some history and experience to share.– Re: Civics by Kathryn Jean Lopez (via The Corner on National Review Online)

Anybody that does not laugh at this, either lacks a sense of humor or needs to have a good bowel movement.
Steve Benen over at the Carpetbagger Report tells about American Family Association’s use of Auto Correction Software.
Quote:
The problem, of course, is that “gay” does not always mean what the AFA wants it to mean. My friend Kyle reported this morning that sprinter Tyson Gay won the 100 meters at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials over the weekend. The AFA ran the story, but only after the auto-correct had “fixed” the article.
That means — you guessed it — the track star was renamed “Tyson Homosexual.” The headline on the piece read, “Homosexual eases into 100 final at Olympic trials.” Readers learned:
Tyson Homosexual easily won his semifinal for the 100 meters at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials and seemed to save something for the final later Sunday.
His wind-aided 9.85 seconds was a fairly cut-and-dry performance compared to what happened a day earlier. On Saturday, Homosexual misjudged the finish in his opening heat and had to scramble to finish fourth, then in his quarterfinal a couple of hours later, ran 9.77 to break the American record that had stood since 1999. […]
Homosexual didn’t get off to a particularly strong start in the first semifinal, but by the halfway mark he had established a comfortable lead. He slowed somewhat over the final 10 meters-nothing like the way-too-soon complete shutdown that almost cost him Saturday. Asked how he felt, Homosexual said: “A little fatigued.”
*snort*
Yeah, I know, they’re mocking them because they’re Conservative, I’m not that dense. I’m just laughing about it, because the very thing, that is supposed to make lives easier, as in Technology, ends up making someone look like an idiot. (at least I like to think that it is the technology anyhow!)
The old adage is true, computers only do what they’re told. Although, I will be the first to admit that there has been times in the past, when I was wrestling with a Computer that was not doing what I wanted it to do, that, in fact, the computer had a mind of it’s own.

I guess I’m either jaded or just burned out and maybe just bored….
It’s the big talking subject for Friday, to give the talking heads something to speculate on. I find it all rather boring…
Jack Moss makes a a rather humorous reference to the Beast and Anti-Christ. Obama might be many things, but that’s not one of them, The Rapture of the Church has not happened yet, Jack. Read your Bible man! Magic Negro? Yes. Marxist? Yes. Liberal? Yes. Anti-Christ, Not hardly…

Of course, Mister “I’m a eternally oppressed negro.” Isn’t really known for his truthfulness.
Of course, Imus has explained himself, But we all know that will not stop the Liberal Race hustlers from trying to take him out or at least make a scene of the whole thing.
More fall out from the Civil Rights Bill of 1968, if you ask me. Had we’d done that right, this would not even be an issue.

I mentioned this last night on my other Blog, “Chuck’s Place”, But I think it is worth reporting here as well.
Yesterday, a Comedy Legend left us. George Carlin Passed away from Heart Failure.
Quote:
Comedian George Carlin, a counter-culture hero famed for his routines about drugs, dirty words and the demise of humanity, died of heart failure at a Los Angeles-area hospital on Sunday. He was 71.
Carlin, who had a history of heart and drug-dependency problems, died at Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica about 6 p.m. PDT (9 p.m. EDT) after being admitted earlier in the afternoon for chest pains, spokesman Jeff Abraham told Reuters.
You know, not to editorialize or anything like that, but George Carlin was just funny, damn funny. Whatever you thought about his politics is irrelevant at this point.
There were two types of Comedians, one’s who took the high road, and those who just didn’t give a rats ass and did what they wanted. George Carlin was the second type. He broke rules, pushed buttons, general made the entertainment establishment very uncomfortable. He followed Lenny Bruce’s lead. He also ended up in jail, because some fascist pig decided that George’s comedy was too dirty.
George represented what the good majority of America people were thinking, it was just turned up, really, really loud.
It is always been said, that the schmucks live forever and the good guys die young. George’s death proves that.
Rest in Peace.

Speaking of George W. Bush being a dirty, rotten, nasty so and so, (and so?) here’s a rather funny video, that Olby Stumbled over on his show. Check out the second video here…. Man, you know you’re a lame when people won’t even wave back…
Quote from the New York Daily News:
Hillary Clinton will join Barack Obama for a joint appearance in Washington next week to persuade her donors to begin giving to the Democrats’ nominee, the Daily News has learned.
It’s the first known plan to bring together the victor and vanquished from the Democrat primary race and put their pledges of unity for the fall campaign into action.
Jonathan Mantz, Clinton’s national finance director, sent top Clinton fundraisers an e-mail today inviting them to the event on June 26.
“As we move forward, we invite you to join us for a National Finance Committee meeting with both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama on Thursday, June 26th in Washington, D.C., to discuss how we can work together to support Barack Obama and the Democratic Party,” Mantz wrote.
“Hillary ran for President because she wants to put this country on the right track,” Mantz wrote. “She continues to fight and stand strong for our values and priorities and will do everything she can to unify the party and to elect Barack Obama the next President of the United States.”
I just wonder how much Racism, fear mongering and Republican style attacks will be used at this little get together? I wonder if Hillary will whine publicly about how she was entitled to the Presidency, because she was a woman?
It is to wonder….

I know, it’s a silly headline, but it serves it’s purpose. 8^D
Quote:
Perhaps one day someone will write a chapter about Al Gore in a new book titled “Profiles In Uncourage.”
Democratic presumptive Presidential nominee Barack Obama finally got what he and former rival Senator Hillary Clinton had pined for all these months — THE endorsement from former Vice President Al Gore.
But it came so late in the game that the person who’ll be most impressed with it will be Tipper Gore.
Did anyone think that after the smoke had cleared and the choices became Obama and GOPer John McCain that Al Gore would announce: “I am here to say that I am throwing my considerable weight behind John McCain for President of the United States!!”
Gore’s endorsement — which will generate lots of news stories, sound bytes and blog posts (like this one) is the biggest anti-climax since reporters started wondering if Ralph Nader would run for President again, and Nader announced he would. — Obama Gets "The" Endorsement: The Lousy Timing of Al Gore by JOE GANDELMAN (via The Moderate Voice)
I see Joe’s point, but my goodness, I don’t believe Joe could have been more “towel snapped on naked ass” about it, if he wanted to be.
….and I thought I was a jaded blogger.
An interesting piece, albeit a bit dramatic and overly projective.
Quote:
"Dave, stop. Stop, will you? Stop, Dave. Will you stop, Dave?” So the supercomputer HAL pleads with the implacable astronaut Dave Bowman in a famous and weirdly poignant scene toward the end of Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. Bowman, having nearly been sent to a deep-space death by the malfunctioning machine, is calmly, coldly disconnecting the memory circuits that control its artificial »
brain. “Dave, my mind is going,” HAL says, forlornly. “I can feel it. I can feel it.”
I can feel it, too. Over the past few years I’ve had an uncomfortable sense that someone, or something, has been tinkering with my brain, remapping the neural circuitry, reprogramming the memory. My mind isn’t going—so far as I can tell—but it’s changing. I’m not thinking the way I used to think. I can feel it most strongly when I’m reading. Immersing myself in a book or a lengthy article used to be easy. My mind would get caught up in the narrative or the turns of the argument, and I’d spend hours strolling through long stretches of prose. That’s rarely the case anymore. Now my concentration often starts to drift after two or three pages. I get fidgety, lose the thread, begin looking for something else to do. I feel as if I’m always dragging my wayward brain back to the text. The deep reading that used to come naturally has become a struggle.
I think I know what’s going on. For more than a decade now, I’ve been spending a lot of time online, searching and surfing and sometimes adding to the great databases of the Internet. The Web has been a godsend to me as a writer. Research that once required days in the stacks or periodical rooms of libraries can now be done in minutes. A few Google searches, some quick clicks on hyperlinks, and I’ve got the telltale fact or pithy quote I was after. Even when I’m not working, I’m as likely as not to be foraging in the Web’s info-thickets—reading and writing e-mails, scanning headlines and blog posts, watching videos and listening to podcasts, or just tripping from link to link to link. (Unlike footnotes, to which they’re sometimes likened, hyperlinks don’t merely point to related works; they propel you toward them.)
For me, as for others, the Net is becoming a universal medium, the conduit for most of the information that flows through my eyes and ears and into my mind. The advantages of having immediate access to such an incredibly rich store of information are many, and they’ve been widely described and duly applauded. “The perfect recall of silicon memory,” Wired’s Clive Thompson has written, “can be an enormous boon to thinking.” But that boon comes at a price. As the media theorist Marshall McLuhan pointed out in the 1960s, media are not just passive channels of information. They supply the stuff of thought, but they also shape the process of thought. And what the Net seems to be doing is chipping away my capacity for concentration and contemplation. My mind now expects to take in information the way the Net distributes it: in a swiftly moving stream of particles. Once I was a scuba diver in the sea of words. Now I zip along the surface like a guy on a Jet Ski.
I’m not the only one. When I mention my troubles with reading to friends and acquaintances—literary types, most of them—many say they’re having similar experiences. The more they use the Web, the more they have to fight to stay focused on long pieces of writing. Some of the bloggers I follow have also begun mentioning the phenomenon. Scott Karp, who writes a blog about online media, recently confessed that he has stopped reading books altogether. “I was a lit major in college, and used to be [a] voracious book reader,” he wrote. “What happened?” He speculates on the answer: “What if I do all my reading on the web not so much because the way I read has changed, i.e. I’m just seeking convenience, but because the way I THINK has changed?” – Is Google Making Us Stupid? By Nicholas Carr (Via The Atlantic Online)
I thought it was rather humorous. My first reaction was, “where has this guy been for the past 15 years?” However, I see his point, especially if he is an older chap. The world had changed, some say for the better, some say for the worst, I guess I solely depends on one’s outlook, Religious beliefs or what have you. However, I did find this rather asinine comment by some feckless lass to be rather offensive, and I let her know it too. It is commonly known that it is not polite to tease or mock someone in a wheelchair, so, why mock someone who’s disabilities are not seen? Again, as Nicholas aptly pointed out, or world and society is changing, and if this morally depraved woman’s actions are any indication, we are in terrible times ahead.

With them were two older women, in their 40s or 50s. They were dressed the same way and acting the same way as the girls they were with (their daughters, maybe?). In fact, I think they might have been outdrinking the younger girls. The younger girls were much better behaved, actually. While, yes, they were cheering on the bikini contestants and being a little rowdy, the cougars put them to shame. Their clothes were skankier, their jeans tighter, their heels higher, and their drinks emptied faster. They were dancing on the patio in their slutty clothes, screaming “WOOOOOO!” over and over again, and flirting with every man that so much as looked their way.
I wanted to scream at them, “ACT YOUR F*CKING AGE!” It does NOT make you look “flirty” and “fun” to act like you’re 18 if you’re actually 40. – (via Cassy Fiano)
I can relate. 
Humph, I thought we only had those kind of weirdos here in Michigan? 
Guess not… 
Hey!

What exactly is wrong with being 40?

You know, I don’t go out of my way to quote stories out of WorldNetDaily, Because I have a personal problem with the owner of that site. But I think that this is important to Christians and Conservatives alike. Barry’s supposed Christianity is, for intents and purposes, a joke that is being played upon the American people. Now, I do not believe that Obama is going to be the Anti-Christ, But he is quite the deceiver, as you can see below:
Quote:
I commend all Americans to read the Chicago Sun-Times piece – especially all those professing a Christian faith. What he says is alarming. What he says shows he has a fundamental misunderstanding of what it means to be a Christian.
Asked what he believes, Obama chimed in: "I am a Christian. I’m rooted in the Christian tradition. I believe that there are many paths to the same place, and that is a belief that there is a higher power, a belief that we are connected as a people. That there are values that transcend race or culture, that move us forward, and there’s an obligation for all of us individually as well as collectively to take responsibility to make those values lived."
Many paths to the same place?
This is the antithesis of what Jesus reveals in Scripture, for example, in John 14:6: "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
Obama also says in the interview he doesn’t know if he is going to heaven., nor does he believe the alternative is hell.
That’s pretty remarkable for someone professing to be a Christian. While I know, because Scripture tells us so, there will be many turned away from the narrow gate that leads to eternal life on judgment day, it’s unusual for someone claiming to be a believer to be uncertain about his eternal fate. It suggests a high degree of spiritual confusion. – Barack Obama: One mixed-up spirit (via WorldNetDaily)
Now there is quite a bit, that I could say about the condition of Joe Farah’s heart and his Spiritual condition, especially after the little e-mail exchange that took place between him and myself a little while back, but for the purpose of this article, I will simply point out that Farah has a good point here. If this is what Barry calls true Christianity, then he is quite deceived.
There is a name for what Barry is describing, it is called the doctrine of Universalism. You can learn more about that, by clicking here and by going here to read the definition of it. It would be quite safe to say that Universalism is, quite the Liberal Christian doctrine. If the shoe fits, wear it, I suppose.
Of course, seeing the direction that the Democrats are headed in at the moment, we might not have to worry, because all the Democrats might kill one another off at their convention in Denver. One can only hope.
While I have been a very vocal critic of the Bush Administration’s Handling of the war in Iraq. I will always stand in honor for our United States Military.

Here’s the incident in Question:
That is what the majority of America is thinking….
Here’s the Video and Transcript: (via Media Matters for America)
Full Transcript:
From the May 12 edition of ABC Radio Networks’ Imus in the Morning:
DIETL: Well, I got real a problem with the president, the former president. You know, this weekend, I go to gas up my car, my M6, the BMW. Uses a lot of gas, we all agree with that. It’s 510 horsepower.
IMUS: Sure.
DIETL: Four dollars and fifty cents for the high test now. Now, I did a little investigation through the whole — you know, through the whole weekend there to find out really where it lies. And I got a problem with President Bush the father, my friend. I got a problem with this guy sitting across from me, Bill Clinton, and Fredo over here. We all — Fredo, the president, the current, sitting president, with those stupid faces that he makes. There was tornadoes in the Midwest, and he’s making a press conference with his wife sitting there. He’s making these stupid —
IMUS: This is your guy.
DIETL: He’s — nobody’s my guy.
IMUS: No, he was your guy —
DIETL: Nobody’s my guy.
IMUS: No, no. He was your guy when he ran.
DIETL: Here’s what I call out to the Senate majority —
IMUS: I did not vote for him. You did.
DIETL: Senate majority —
IMUS: Did you vote for him? Did you vote for him?
DIETL: Yes. Yes, I did.
IMUS: OK.
DIETL: People make mistakes.
IMUS: Well, yeah. You made a big mistake. You voted for him twice.
DIETL: Well, I made a few big mistakes when I didn’t invest my money into oil and gold.
IMUS: True.
DIETL: OK. But my point is, there should be a congressional investigation. One, into all these former presidents. What kind of money is being influxitated [sic] into their libaries [sic]? I’m talking about this guy sitting across from me, Bill Clinton. They have hundreds of millions of dollars that were pumped in there from these Aba Daba Doos over there in the Middle East, controlling the oil. Right now in the Middle East, you’ve got Saudi Arabia, who’s got their finger. Why doesn’t Fredo get on his Air Force One, fly over to Riyadh, get those little hamel [sic] humpers over there, sit ’em down, and say, "Look, we got our F-16s –"
IMUS: It’s, uh, "camel humpers."
DIETL: "We got our F-16s guarding you against Iran. We saved you from Saddam Hussein. We’re going to move all our troops out of here and leave you to defend your own country." ‘Cause you know what? They couldn’t do it. ‘Cause all they do is pick their nose and eat their boogies, and that’s the end of it. That’s all they do.
BERNARD McGUIRK (executive producer): Hey, oh.
DIETL: I’ve been there.
IMUS: Hey, calm down here a minute. We’re trying to have breakfast.
DIETL: All right. ‘Cause this aggravates me. We protect Saudi Arabia.
IMUS: [unintelligible] to be eating your boogers. [unintelligible]
DIETL: Saudi Arabia controls the oil flow.
IMUS: That is disgusting.
DIETL: And right now, people are starving.
IMUS: Why are you hollering?
DIETL: Families can’t put their kids into their SUVs and take them to school because the gas is so expensive.
IMUS: Here’s what’s happening now. People’s houses are being foreclosed on.
DIETL: Right.
IMUS: So they put their furniture in storage. Then they can’t pay the storage bill, so they’re losing that.
DIETL: Right. Now, America that listens to you, Don, and everyone’s ears are out there today. I want people to realize and understand, these former presidents and the current president now have a relationship with Saudi Arabia that they should go over there to — President Bush, my friend there, the cowboy, should hop on his plane and go over there, sit down with the ministers and say, "Here’s the way it’s going to be. We’re pulling out all our men over there protecting you."
You go now — you go to the next stop, Dubai. Do you know what’s going on in Dubai now? Twenty-five percent of the cranes in the world are in Dubai. You got Philippine workers dying two a day, construction workers are dying two a day. They can’t put up a building fast enough. They got three buildings programmed that’ll be double the size of the former World Trade Center. They’re building islands. They’re building man-made islands.
You know what is there? I’ll tell you what’s there. A bunch of hookers from Russia and all over there.
IMUS: Yeah, well —
DIETL: It’s a playground for —
IMUS: I wouldn’t bring that up if I were you.
DIETL: It’s a playground for all these people who are pumping all the oil out of the ground, making all this money. Our Americans dying defending them over in Iraq, and they stand around there [imitates ululation]. They go running around, hopping on their private planes, hopping on their camels.
The Congress should be getting involved with this. Where is the senators and where is the congressmen to step up and step on Saudi Arabia and stop with my fuel pump? ‘Cause I got people that can’t drive their cars.
And I ran for Congress back in ’86. I wish I would’ve won. ‘Cause I would be there in Congress slapping people around, saying, "How much money? You want to take a trip over to Saudi Arabia?"
IMUS: You would’ve made — you’d have made Vito — what’s that guy’s name, Bernie?
DIETL: I like Vito Fossella.
McGUIRK: Fossella.
IMUS: You would’ve made Vito Fossella look like a Boy Scout.
DIETL: Guy made a little mistake. Guy made a little mistake. We all make little mistakes in our lives.
The "Boogies" joke aside, I hate to break it to David Brock and the rest of the crew over at Media Matters for America, but, this is what the majority of America is thinking right about now. I, for one, cannot afford to drive my car, much anywhere at all, either.
I am fully aware that the Arab slam was offensive, but Christ Almighty man, the guy is right. I think he should be applauded for telling the damn truth, if anything at all.
