Oh Yeah, you can tell I’m really with it today….
I saw this: Merci McCain (via OurFuture.org)
First thing I thought was "Who the heck is Marci McCain??!??!"
Then I ran the Video, that is when I got it, Oh Right, it’s French… duh!
D’oh! 
Well? What the hell do you expect? I’m just now working on that second mug of coffee. I’m a night person, so sue me! 
Being with it….Oh yeah, I got to really work on that.

Yeah, that’s correct, I have taken the plunge. I decided to see if this network cord and power cord would reach to my bed.
It just reaches.
So, I am now officially among the lazy bastards who change the political world…..in their PJ’s. (although, I am wearing jeans. I don’t wear PJ’s.)
Update: That worked for about an hour or so. I can’t quite get used to typing while lying on my side, It’s kind of rough. So, I gave it up. I’m back in the chair. It’s much easy and I type much faster. I’ll do the bed thing if I’m not feeling well or something.
Here’s the Worst persons:
Bronze: Himself (Keith, that is) for blaming the New York Times Editor for hiring William Kristol, because of his writing about Obama with bad facts from NewsMax (I bet that was an interesting phone call! "What the hell you blaming me for? I didn’t hire the idiot!)
Silver: Rupert Murdock for royally screwing his 99 year old Mom. (Beware, that site is quite slow.)
Gold: Republican Presidential John McCain’s Now infamous Gaffe.
At least, I think so anyway…

Kiss The Ring
There’s a space at the table for everyone
From the crackpot fringe to the favorite sons, bring them in
Bow down and kiss the ring
Cozy up to the zealots and disown their quotes
From the hellfire preachers to the talk show hosts bickering
Kiss kiss, kiss the ringSign all the checks to the bottom of the deck
if it deals you a hand you can win
And I know it’s just as well that a special place in hell
it can wait if they can help you get in
The purple hearts and silver stars that got you where you are
No they won’t add up to a thing
‘Cause all the guards on patrol in the circles that you roll
Will never ever let you make it anywhere unless you kiss the ring
Kiss the ringPeeling off the cover of the old façade
If you can’t beat them then give them a job, yes it’s odd
The very same thugs that did you in
There’s a reputation that you might’ve once deserved
Before the Straight Talk Express hit Dead Man’s Curve
Even though I never agreed with you on much of anythingPut the bus in reverse as your principles disperse
And let the big games begin
Say goodbye to your code as you move on down the road
It won’t do shit for you from here on in
The purple hearts and silver stars that got you where you are
No they won’t add up to a thing
So Senator, it’s time, let them kick you down the line
I hope that you don’t mind the taste of metal ’cause it’s time to kiss the ring
Kiss the wrongI’m crossing your name off the list of people I respect but still disagree
If you expand your ranks to the likes of them it’ll never include the likes of m
Of course I want you to lose, but maybe just maybe with some dignity
But it don’t matter much how you do it, as long as you do
It’ll be just fine with meSign all the checks to the bottom of the deck
if it deals you a hand you can win
And I know it’s just as well that a special place in hell
it can wait if they can help you get in
The purple hearts and silver stars that got you where you are
No they won’t add up to a thing
‘Cause all the guards on patrol in the circles that you roll
Will never ever let you make it anywhere unless you kiss the ring
Kiss the ring
I’m right of center, and I think that’s downright funny. 
From Mark Hemingway (Via The Corner on National Review Online):
They randomly found her on a call-girl Web site? Man, I would have liked to have been in the newsroom when that story assignment went down. "Listen, we need to talk to every high-dollar hooker on the eastern seaboard, like yesterday. Get on it, people! Err, you know what I mean. I don’t care if everyone in the news division spends the rest of the week on parts of the internet where it’s a good idea not to roll down the window, find me a prostitute… who knows Eliot Sptizer! Now get your minds out of the gutter and start calling all those ads in the back of The Villiage Voice. Remember if it says ‘full service,’ they’re not checking your tire pressure."

Poll: Most Americans don’t read political blogs (via Reuters)
A majority of Americans do not read political blogs, the online commentaries that have proliferated in the race for the U.S. presidency, according to a poll released on Monday.
Only 22 percent of people responding to the poll said they read blogs regularly, meaning several times a month or more, according to the survey conducted by Harris Interactive.
Political blogs, in which writers, pundits and other participants voice opinions in online forums, burst into the spotlight in the 2004 and 2008 presidential campaigns. Some of the most high-profile blogs are influential on campaign strategies, media coverage and public perception of the candidates and issues.
Unlike traditional, mainstream media, blogs often adopt a specific point of view. Critics complain they can contain unchecked facts, are poorly edited and use unreliable sources.
You don’t think them old, dead wood, media types don’t like us, do you? 
Can you say, Biased? I knew you could! 
You say, "Why would you say this?"
Well, it’s like this here, We’re a threat to their sacred little profession. Most of the time, they get their information from us.
We report the stuff that they can’t or won’t, due to fearing losing those ever coveted sponsors.
I know their strategy, "we’ll tell everyone, that no body reads them political blogs, and the everyone will stop writing." HA! Little late for all that guys. 
The Genie is out of the bottle now. They should have do this story, in….maybe, 2003?
Morons.

The Story: Local girl makes unexpected appearance in Hillary ad (Via KING5.com)
The Video:
Quote:
The political ad that sparked nationwide controversy turns out to have a surprising local connection.
One of the actors in the Hillary Clinton ad was shocked to see herself, especially because she’s a fierce supporter of Barack Obama.
The so-called "red-phone ad" was played all over the country and helped turn the tide for Hillary Clinton leading up to her big win in Ohio. The commercial suggested Barack Obama was too inexperienced to handle a national crisis.
But the young girl starring in the ad will actually be voting age next month and says she’s no fan of Hillary Clinton
I’d be willing to bet that someone in the Hillary camp is feeling about "that" high right now.

That’s what they’re saying!
Yeah, I know, it’s a lame analogy. But I thought it was funny!
(H/T Memeorandum)
Read all about it here.
One of Obama’s Staffers has resigned for calling her "A Monster". That’s all? I mean, I’ve called her worse!
However, it’s perfectly fine for one of Hillary’s surrogates to call Obama a "Magic Negro"? 
I just wonder, what has Hillary’s camp called Obama? It is to wonder.

My sentiments exactly.
Whoa Boy… Obama is catching grief over a comment made at the debates.
Mostly from the far right wing nuts, who refuse to believe that our Military is nothing short of perfect.
Some people need to really look into getting real.
Even some of the comments on the Wing Nut Blogs even ADMIT that they were using enemy weapons and bullets.
But let a Liberal diss our Military?!?!?! Off with his Negro head! 
Stupidity at it’s finest.
"Whoa! I paid my bill! I think!"
This is absolutely hilarious!
ANN Coulter suffered a serious embarrassment over the weekend when her credit card was declined in Palm Beach. According to our spy, the nutty arch-conservative was caught at 9:45 p.m. Saturday night in the 10 Items or Less line at the local Publix when her card was rejected. "She was embarrassed but didn’t make a scene," our witness said. "She just paid with cash and ran out of there. But at least she’s eating."
Little miss, "I’m richer than you and proud of it"’s Credit card, declined?!?!?! Holy Cow!
Two Words. Comedy Gold.
It can not be any worse than her serious screw up Canada’s involvement with Vietnam, on National Canadian TV!

Quote:
At a campaign stop attended by a CBS reporter in Lady’s Island, S.C., Thompson was asked if he, "as a Christian, as a conservative," supported President Bush‘s global AIDS initiative. "Christ didn’t tell us to go to the government and pass a bill to get some of these social problems dealt with. He told us to do it," Thompson responded. "The government has its role, but we need to keep firmly in mind the role of the government, and the role of us as individuals and as Christians on the other."
Thompson went on: "I’m not going to go around the state and the country with regards to a serious problem and say that I’m going to prioritize that. With people dying of cancer, and heart disease, and children dying of leukemia still, I got to tell you — we’ve got a lot of problems here. . . . " Indeed, there are a lot of problems here — mainly of Thompson’s own making.
Ouch! That’s gonna leave a mark. Michael Gerson, by the way, was a Bush Speech writer. Perhaps a little Neo-Con Bias showing, Maybe?
Just sayin’!

I don’t know about you, but watching a very white guy don a hoodie and lip synch to LL Cool J is very cool.
I bet of L.L. Cool J saw that, he’d bust a gut. and they said rap music was a phase that would die off. Huh, So much for that idea!
Women Are Never Front-Runners By GLORIA STEINEM (via New York Times)
THE woman in question became a lawyer after some years as a community organizer, married a corporate lawyer and is the mother of two little girls, ages 9 and 6. Herself the daughter of a white American mother and a black African father — in this race-conscious country, she is considered black — she served as a state legislator for eight years, and became an inspirational voice for national unity.
Be honest: Do you think this is the biography of someone who could be elected to the United States Senate? After less than one term there, do you believe she could be a viable candidate to head the most powerful nation on earth? – Read the Rest
Goodness. Someone peed in Gloria’s Cheerios or something!
Of course, if I had a face like this:
I’d be grumpy too! No wonder she didn’t marry to later in life. ugh!
