"I am the only major candidate for president who opposed the war in Iraq from the beginning, before it was politically popular. I thought it was wrong to take our focus off of the terrorists in Afghanistan who hit us on 9/11, and to use fear and falsehoods to attack a country that had nothing to do with 9/11. I warned about "an occupation of undetermined length, and undetermined costs, and undetermined consequences" in the middle of the Arab world." - Barack Obama - 12/29/07Adam and Eve are 2 million years old!
NEW ORLEANS - Louisiana Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal has signed into law a bill that critics say could allow for the teaching of "creationism" alongside evolution in public schools. Jindal, a conservative Christian who has been touted by pundits as a potential vice presidential running mate for Republican presidential candidate John McCain, signed the legislation earlier this week.[Gov. Jindal reportedly had no comment on the rumor that Scientology's Dianetics and Wicca will also be taught 'alongside' in public schools next year, as well.]
Hey, give the brother a break!
Kwame can't sell 'shit' in Detroit!
The FBI is investigating a political consultant to Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick in the Synagro Technologies sludge disposal deal, the Free Press has learned -- the 'deal', a $47-million-a-year contract that calls for turning some of the city's sewage sludge into fertilizer and incinerating the rest and replacing outdated incinerators at the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department, and save the city $5 million annually in sludge disposal costs.[Poor Kwame-He sells shit, literally, for $5 million and they're still after him. He's already nailed redhanded for perjury - the least you could do is cut the guy a break for being able to make 5 mil. on selling the city's shit.]
Colin Powell to endorse Obama?
Why wouldn't he?Powell has given indications that he will make a public pick. And speculation that he's leaning toward Obama is sure to go up a notch with word from the National Journal's "Hotline on Call" that the two met privately two weeks ago in Powell's office in Alexandria, Va.
Keyes Knocks Out Crazy Chuckie
AIP of California Sends Constitution Party Packing
It seems that the American Independent Party of California has decided to switch national affiliations from the Constitution Party to the newly formed America’s Independent Party. Assuming this holds up, and that’s a big if, it means several things… 1. Alan Keyes will now be on the ballot in California and Chuck Badlwin will probably not be able to get a line.2. Based on voter registration totals, the new AIP now claims to be America’s third largest political party.
[How embarrassing for the fanatical, and aptly-described, ' oddly cult-like', irrational, unstable and culturally and politically pigeonholed wingnut followers of the 'Constitution Party'! Their 'presidential' (sic) nominee, Crazy Chuckie Baldwin, the full-time damnating feminist-hating misogynist and part-time 'Baptist preacher' and 'radio talk show host' beat Keyes for their party's nomination in April but Keyes came back with a new party in California and shoved Crazy Chuckie off the ballot. Desperate, socially-knuckledragging, morally-rudderless wingnut weaklings fighting over Alan Keyes and Crazy Chuckie Baldwin ... Priceless ....]
Damn, finally .. a white guy ...
Hey my friends ... did I , did I tell ya, my friends...
Six straight months of job losses
U.S. employers chopped a net 62,000 workers from their payrolls in June, marking the sixth consecutive month in which the nation's stumbling economy has lost jobs, the Labor Department reported Friday. The jobless rate held steady at 5.5 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. June's job decline, paced once again by punishing drops in the manufacturing and construction sectors, was in line with economist expectations.
[Still waiting for that cheap dollar to create all of those manufacturing jobs ...' And notice the losses without the percent going down. More 'discouraged workers'. What's the 'real' Bushonomic unemployment rate when the discouraged workers are factored in? -- 7.2%." ]
Where are they now?

Oh, that's right ... that was Jesse's cousin Strom ...
George W. Bush and our dollar
Debt creating Republicans trash our economy
When President George W. Bush went to his first Group of Eight summit in 2001, a dominant issue was the dollar -- the strong dollar, that is. On the eve of Bush's last G-8 appearance, the dollar's gyrations are again in the crossfire. This time, it is a weak currency, upended by slumping growth, a housing recession and record gas prices, that is gnawing away at the world economy. The dollar's 41 percent drop against the euro during Bush's term writes the economic epitaph of an administration that set out to restore American preeminence. ... America's dependence on imported capital to finance a $9.5 trillion debt -- up from $5.7 trillion when Bush took office -- has driven down the currency.
[How a single fool could ever vote for John McCain so he can continue the Bush and the Republican legacy of what always transpires with these bankrupting and economically-challenged losers, is beyond all sensible thought.]
And what's your point?
Some allies of President Bush are expressing frustration with how “the White House seems to be wasting Bush’s time on frivolous events” in the middle of an economic crisis, according to Political Bulletin: “Look at the schedule for Monday,” says an outside Bush adviser. “A highlight of his day was witnessing a tee ball game. … He is being reduced to child’s play.” … [198 days ... ]
Transgendered Sea Anemone
Denounced As 'Abomination' By Clergy
HUNTSVILLE, AL—A coalition of Baptist clergymen spoke out Monday against the Telia felina, a transgendered sea anemone they are decrying as "base and depraved." "This filthy anemone, which exhibits both male and female characteristics, is turning our oceans' intertidal zones into dens of sin and perversion," said Rev. William Chester, spokesman for the Save Our Seas Coalition, a Huntsville-based activist group dedicated to "the preservation of aquatic decency and morality."
Not A River In Africa
Condoleezza Rice said she's ''proud'' of the U.S. decision to wage the Iraq war and insisted that the world is not more dangerous than it was when George W. Bush took office. -- [Denial]

McCain's latest pork project
Proposes $300 Million Battery for Wife’s Vibrator
“Cindy told me she'd prefer that to my 'pork', since this old fossil-fool can no longer get it done."
Bush grants bin Laden another wish
From the NY Times on October, 14, 2001;
''If bin Laden takes over and becomes king of Saudi Arabia, he'd turn off the tap,'' said Roger Diwan, a managing director of the Petroleum Finance Company, a consulting firm in Washington. ''He said at one point that he wants oil to be $144 a barrel'' -- about six times what it sells for now''
[Guess what a barrel of oil cost today - $144. Nice job, morons.]
Tough sailing
BEIJING: With less than six weeks before it plays host to the Olympic sailing regatta, the city of Qingdao has mobilized thousands of people and an armada of small boats to clean up an algae bloom that is choking large stretches of the coastline and threatening to impede the Olympic competition.
'11 seconds' you wingnut wussy?!!?!!
Tough-talking and vocal warmonger Christopher Hitchens volunteers to be water-boarded and lasts a whole 11 seconds. Hitchens did admit that it was a little more stressful than the time he put his sister's panties over his head.
Bad call
Are we that desperate?
This hefty granite slab would have sold for $1,500 if it hadn't been for one observant customer who saw an image of Jesus in the rock -- and now it's worth a lot more. The company's owners told CBS News they were "blessed" to have the slab and would donate the proceeds from the rock's sale to an Oklahoma church.
Turning Montana blue
Barack Obama, wife Michelle, left, watch a Fourth of July parade with their two daughters, Malia, right, and Sasha, in Butte, Mont., July 4, 2008.
Only two Democratic presidential candidates have carried Montana since 1948. Barack Obama is betting he can do it in November.
The Limbaugh Award
The Committee had to vote early again this week due to a significant number of them having political-campaign commitments across the country -- same situation as week #66. In fact, it will be like this at least once a month until the November election I'm sure.
This week's award is shared by two of the most obnoxious men in not only television, but on the entire planet; Fox New's 'Fox & Friends' co-hosts Steve Doocey and Brian Kilmeade.
Doocey and Kilmeade didn't like that the NY Times reported that Fox's rating had slipped so the two little dweebs went after the Times reporters. Fair enough.
But then they altered the reporters, Jacques Steinberg and Steven Reddicliffe's features in the photos they used!
Come on, that's despicable even by Fox News' standards!
Congratulations assholes, you get to share #70!
