As I write this, the Republican National telethon Convention has officially started. Following Obama and the Democrats, the Republicans began their convention Monday–albeit hindered “because of hurricane Gustav.” But convention coverage has barely broken the exhilarating stranglehold of natural disaster in the mainstream media. Those silly bastards just can’t shut up about the hurricane(s), something that affects only a small portion of the national population. And while it might seem like some small tragedy–and somehow unfair–that the Repubs won’t get as much coverage as the Democrats, don’t be fooled.
This is the best bit of stratagem by the Republicans since Newt Gingrich and the spooge-stained dress. While the 24-hour news channels focuse on the impending doom of Hurricane Gustav and incoming Hanna, McCain and “friends” have taken the opportunity to release some of the most damning information about the Palin pick, saving them countless voters-worth of embarrassment. Here are all the reasons Gustav, Hanna and the rest of the storms are good for the Republicans this week, very good… Read More »
Well, this election is certainly shaping up to be crazy as f**k! With McCain’s pick of Gov. Sarah Palin as his vice presidential choice and the historic presidential run of Barack Obama as the first black nominee of a major party in the Western world, no matter the outcome, history will be made. And all bets are off.
Will Obama turn out new voters in unprecedented numbers? Will Palin solidify the Republican base? Nobody yet knows. But what we do know is that whatever the outcome, it’s going to be interesting!
Who do you think will win the presidential election?
Tonight, two of the Democrats’ most vocal and vicious speakers will take the stage at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado. First to speak will be former President Bill Clinton, followed by vice presidential nominee Sen. Joe Biden.
While it’s still up in the air what President Clinton will say in his speech (which wasn’t pre-approved by the Obama campaign), chances are he’ll come out swinging for his party and Barack Obama. Because he hasn’t said much leading up to the convention, this first-appearance of the general election campaign, I predict, will be used to lay the hurt on John McCain and his attacks in a way only a popular former President can do.

Fear the 21st Century mastermind killer. He comes armed, dangerous, and uncomfortably inbred-looking. Meet Nathan Johnson, Tharin Gartrell and Shawn Adolf, the “at least” three people arrested in Aurora, Colorado, suspected in a plot to kill presumptive (until Thursday) Democratic nominee for President, Sen. Barack Obama.
Though little has been reported or released to the public about the men, their motivations rang clear Monday, when they told CBS4 television station that they were, “going to shoot Obama from a high vantage point using a … rifle … sighted at 750 yards.”
We think so. Not that our word is worth jack - we know chicks, boobs, liquor and sports…and we know them well. However, given the recent sh*t storm of the Russian/Georgian conflict, even we knew this was coming.
Let’s go down the list of necessary qualifications: Biden has been known to cross partisan lines in the past (Check) ; He has more international experience than almost every other senator (Check); He is an older white guy that redneck southerners can say they voted for (Check); He is not Hillary Clinton (question mark).
On paper and in person, Joe Biden could be the smartest Vice-Presidential pick in recent history. Anyone who listens to him talk thinks back to the days of old school leaders, not politicians or beaurocrats. The question is now, will it be enough. McCain’s “Straight-talk Express” is driving him right back into the race, and if he announces his VP soon, we can have ourselves a pretty decent race on our hands.
In an improbable turn of events, Barack Obama seems to have gone crazy, and decided on George F’ing Clooney as his vice presidential running mate for the White House. According to a high ranking Obama staffer, the candidate made the decision after speaking with the Actor and political activist late Friday night in a Beverly Hills Mansion. Clooney flew back from his Lake Como, Italy villa specifically for the meeting.
“Celebrities have enormous power with the American people,” the spokesman, who wished to remain anonymous, told us early Saturday. “They have money, fame and a way to get the message out to millions of people–George Clooney best represents that community.” Read More »
If you’re still on the fence about who to vote for this November… you need worry no more. Paris Hilton has officially made her presidential intentions clear in this response ad to the now infamous McCain / Hilton / Spears political. And you thought our country was in trouble.
You probably saw/heard about Sen. John McCain’s anti-Obama ad “Celeb,” which links Sen. Barack Obama to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. (If not, watch below.) Immediately upon its release, the political blogs and the networks lit up, complaining reporting that McCain actually took the $4,600 maximum from Paris’s parents — her mother later called the ad “frivolous.” And that’s saying something, coming from someone who most likely has a bigger doggy toy budget than your entire annual salary.
But Saturday, New York Times columnist Bob Herbert wrote an Op-Ed piece pointing out the (now) very obvious, big, black phallic symbols conveniently included in the 30-second spot — Obama with a darkened Leaning Tower of Pisa background and a shadowy shot of the Washington Monument. Read More »
