Sunday Scroll #53

Sounds like a plan to me
The Vermont towns of Brattleboro and Marlboro have voted to indict President Bush and Vice President Cheney for crimes against the Constitution. The local constabulary is supposed to arrest the two should they ever set foot in town. Assuming the police can get past the Secret Service.

Texas Math
AUSTIN, Texas – Hillary Rodham Clinton won the popular vote in Texas’ Democratic primary, but Barack Obama is poised to walk away from the state’s “primacaucus” with more delegates, if his current lead holds through June. Based on her victory in the presidential primary, Clinton took 65 delegates to Obama’s 61. But based on early precinct convention returns, he could walk away with a 98-95 victory in overall delegates.
[You gotta love it!]

How many Anti-Christs are there?
Glenn Beck asked [John McCain's] Pastor John Hagee whether Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) is the embodiment of evil: "There are people — they say this about Bill Clinton — he might be the anti-Christ. Odds that Barack Obama is the Antichrist?"
In 2006, Beck also called Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) the anti-Christ, stating, “I think we may have found our Antichrist and our next president.”
[Glenn Beck is a total asshole. To think he actually get's paid to utter the shit he does says everything that needs to said about our so-called 'liberal media']

Dumb and lazy
452 - Number of days George Bush has spent at his ranch in Crawford, TX. His stay there this past weekend with the the Danish prime minister marked Bush’s 70th visit as president. President Ronald Reagan, one of the modern presidency’s most “famous vacationer[s],” spent just 335 days at his ranch in Santa Barbara, CA.
[Bush has been in office approximately 2,585 days. He's spent 452 (17.5%) of those days at his Crawford ranch -- Those are just the days he's spent at Crawford -- it does not include all the weeks he's spent at Camp David and other places. That's an average of 64 days a year at Crawford. Is there any wonder why Bush is such a fuck up?]

'Stll think I'm cute?'
A year ago, he was a cute and cuddly ball of white fur who captured the hearts of millions worldwide. But Knut the polar bear has grown up fast - as this startled young visitor to Berlin Zoo discovered. Fortunately for the youngster, six inches of glass capable of withstanding a mortar attack separated him from the jaws of the world's most famous captive bear.
[Note to author-You see that window 'ledge' at the bottom of the window? That's maybe two inches thick]

The statement still being made
Democrat Wins Hastert’s Old Seat
CHICAGO (AP) -- A longtime Republican district fell to the Democrats Saturday when a wealthy businessman and scientist snatched former House Speaker Dennis Hastert's congressional seat in a closely watched special election. Democrat Bill Foster won 52 percent of the vote compared to 48 percent for Republican Jim Oberweis.
[Sweet! Took that fat fucking criminal's seat! I think that's 33 since 11/06. Thanks George.]

Take it to the bank


This will be McCain's first commercial the minute Obama wins the nomination for the Democratic Party. Bet on it.




Gander and Goose
On MSNBC, while saying that Sen. Hillary Clinton should release her tax returns, Pat Buchanan asserted, "[L]ook, there's an awful lot of money that those two made, and they want to see where the money came from, especially where Bill's income came from if they filed a joint return," adding, "And I think Republicans will demand it." However, Buchanan did not note that Sen. John McCain also has not released his tax returns.

The last living 'doughboy'
Frank Buckles joined the Army at 15 and set sail for World War I on the same ship used in the rescue of the Titanic. A couple decades later, he was forced to eat from a tin cup for more than three years as a World War II POW. Now, at 107, he's a national hero. full story

They didn't say I couldn't
An Australian who took a new car on a 3,200 km (1,988 mile) six-day test drive from the city to the outback has been arrested, police said on Thursday. The 30-year-old convinced a car dealer in the southeastern city of Melbourne to lend him a A$40,000 ($37,000) Honda Accord sedan last Friday and drove the equivalent of London to Istanbul ...

Ouch
An Army captain survived a six month tour of Iraq unscathed only to have his leg torn off attempting the famous Cresta Run in Switzerland. Captain Bernie Bambury, 32, lost his right leg below the knee after he hit a marker post at a speed of up to 80mph on the 4,000ft-long tobogganing course in St Moritz. His leg was shattered and severed hundreds of yards from the finish.

There are atheists in foxholes
A soldier claimed Wednesday that his promotion was blocked because he had claimed in a lawsuit that the Army was violating his right to be an atheist. Attorneys for Spc. Jeremy Hall and the Military Religious Freedom Foundation refiled the federal lawsuit Wednesday in Kansas City, Kan., and added a complaint alleging that the blocked promotion was in response to the legal action. According to the lawsuit, Hall was counseled by his platoon sergeant after being informed that his promotion was blocked. He says the sergeant explained that Hall would be "unable to put aside his personal convictions and pray with his troops" ...
[What is this shit, 'Onward Christian Soldiers'?]

Boo! - There are 'Islamo-Facists'!

[The snarl on Uncle Sam's face says it all]

God over country ... and our Vets
Another high-ranking George W. Bush administration official has resigned. The Department of Veterans Affairs Undersecretary for Benefits Daniel Cooper quit Thursday amid mounting criticism over a backlog of disability claims for injured veterans that runs six months long and an appearance he made in a fundraising video for an evangelical Christian organisation where he said Bible study was more important than doing his job.
"The fact that he's gone obviously is good."
[Incompetence permeates the entire administration. In the name of God.]

Nice stash
It's one of the finest collections of modern art anywhere in the world, but you won't find it in New York or Paris. Dozens of works by the likes of Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol and Jackson Pollock -- together valued at roughly $3 billion -- are locked in a basement in Tehran. What was revealed was astonishing: a series of paintings by Picasso; a wall's worth of pop art by Roy Lichtenstein; Warhol portraits of Jackie Onassis, Mick Jagger and Marilyn Monroe; a Diego Rivera self portrait; and a painting many consider to be the best Jackson Pollock outside of North America.

John McSame Sarah Hussein Obama
American shock jocks, dirty tricks masterminds and political bloggers: Beware the wrath of an 86-year-old Kenyan villager. A frown replaces the dimpled beam of Sarah Hussein Obama, grandmother of Barack Obama ... Obama's grandfather had converted to Islam from Roman Catholicism and taken the name Hussein, Sarah Obama said, but his children had inherited only the name, not the religion. Each person should be able to choose how they worshipped, she said. "In the world of today, children have different religions from their parents," she said. She, too, is a Christian.
[Take note - Barack Hussein Obama's grandfather converted to Islam from Roman Catholicism. Obama's grandmother, Sarah Hussein Obama is a Christian. Just like her grandson has always been]

Imus Update
"She came here, everybody felt sorry for her 'cause her fat ... [W]hy did she get re-elected?" .. Cause her fat, stupid husband was getting BJs from the poor little intern there in the Oval Office."
[Good to see Don Imus is still a 'liberal' -- LOL!]

The Limbaugh Award
This week's winner of the Limbaugh Award is no stranger to 'done that'. Ladies and gentlemen, for the fourth time in the long history of this now 'world-renowned' award, the esteemed selection committee chose, Mr Karl 'Turd Blossom' Rove as the recipient of this 'prestigious, but infamous' award for liars.

Friday night on the O'Reilly Factor, Rove got all syrupy talking about how John McCain and his wife who while visiting an orphanage in Bangladesh came upon a small dying child and ended up adopting her. The McCain's adopted daughter, Bridget, now a teenager, is 'dark-skinned'; which meant something entirely different to Karl Rove back in 2000 when McCain was in a tough primary fight in South Carolina with Karl's boy, George W.

You see back then, to Karl Rove and the Bush campaign, little Bridget was "an illegitimate black child" that somehow John McCain ended up with. Rove sent out 'thousands and thousands' of phone calls to South Carolinians to warn them of McCain's vile behavior.

McCain was livid!

"There were some pretty vile and hurtful things said during the South Carolina primary," McCain told Dadmag of the experience in June of 2000. "A lot of phone calls were made by people who said we should be very ashamed about her, about the color of her skin. Thousands and thousands of calls from people to voters saying 'You know the McCains have a black baby'...I believe that there is a special place in hell for people like those."
But of course, John McCain is a cheap, shameless political whore who would sell his 95 year-old mother to get elected. He's now hired Rove as an advisor.

And not only that, before you start feeling too sorry for John McCain, you may want to recall what he said about another man's daughter -- an 18 year old girl at that time -- at a 1998 Republican fundraiser when he said;
"Do you know why Chelsea Clinton is so ugly? Because Janet Reno is her father."
But as despicable and vile as he is, this week isn't about John McCain -- There will be plenty of those weeks.

This week is about Karl Rove. Congratulations, scumbag. You're #53.
