"Gotta keep your sense of humor"
ASPEN, COLO. -- An offhand remark Sen. John McCain made to reporters Friday morning is adding kindling to the controversy over an inflammatory new book about Sen. Barack Obama. The presumptive Republican presidential nominee was asked by a reporter if he had a response to the best-selling "Obama Nation" by Jerome Corsi, which repeats discredited allegations about Obama and portrays him as a stealth radical with extensive Muslim ties. McCain stepped toward the reporter, and the journalist repeated the question: "The Jerome Corsi book? That book, 'Obama Nation,' Jerome Corsi, that some people are asking . . . " The senator replied, "Gotta keep your sense of humor..."[I totally agree, Barack needs to keep his sense of humor. But I'd also like to see a book released on why John McCain was called 'Songbird' by his North Vietnamese captors, and is it true he appeared in '32 propaganda films' for them? I'd like to read about McCain's own admission that his captors gave him special treatment and why was that, exactly? We all know McCain often lies about his POW status and we the voters need to know why that is. I'd like a chapter on why McCain dumped his wife and three kids for a blonde millionaire bimbo who was 18 years his junior? Include a chapter on his role with the 'Keating 5' that cost taxpayers billions. And certainly a couple of chapters should be written on his most recent sexual affair where he was 're-paid' by a 40 year old lobbyist with a easy piece of ass. Now that's some funny shit and I'm sure Old McGrumpy would just laugh that off knowing his 'sense of humor'. A few TV commercials, a few Sunday morning roundtables and a highly publicized book probing those events ought to be good for a few chuckles.]
Here we go again
Russia's deputy chief of General Staff Col.-Gen. Anatoly Nogovitsyn said Friday, Aug. 15, 2008 that Poland's agreement to accept a U.S. missile defense battery exposes the country to attack, pointing out that Russian military doctrine permits the use of nuclear weapons in such a situation, the Interfax news agency reported.[The Russians, or the 'Soviets' before them, have always threatened all European countries who dared to install a strategic missile defense system. The timing on this sucks though.]

Inflation highest since Bush Daddy
US consumer prices rose by 0.8 per cent in July, twice as fast as expected, damping hopes that falling crude oil prices and the slowing consumer demand would rapidly ease inflationary pressures. The surprise jump in the consumer price index on a monthly basis was accompanied by an annual increase of 5.6 per cent, which was more than forecast and the largest jump since 1991.
[Bush = Miserable Failures]
Poor Lil' Bush needs a Jester
All Steve Duprey wanted to do was make John McCain laugh. Riding on his campaign plane last June, the candidate was feeling low. The day before, he'd flubbed the delivery of a major speech in New Orleans and was being lampooned on the cable shows. So Duprey, McCain's close friend, informal adviser and faithful traveling buddy, got up from his seat and began handing out candy to campaign aides. Soon everyone aboard was cracking up: Duprey was decked out in a skimpy rainbow bikini—or, rather, a T shirt painted to look like one, front and, ahem, back. He'd picked up the shirt near Bourbon Street the night before, figuring the sight of a nearly bald 54-year-old guy dolled up like some kind of tragic "Baywatch" extra might just lift McCain's mood. He was right. McCain, perched in his usual spot up front, rolled his eyes and shook his head, a wide grin on his face.[Ah, the poor little dumbass, needs a buddy to cheer him up when he fucks up at a campaign event. Man, Duprey must be awfully busy!]
Update on our bogus war on terror
MSNBC's Rachel Maddow reported on Thursday that a group of college students may have succeeded where the FBI failed in identifying the killers of journalist Daniel Pearl.Although four men were convicted of Pearl's murder in Pakistan in 2002, there were thought to be as many as 19 more suspects. ... "A group of undergrads at Georgetown University, led by a professor who was a colleague of Pearl's at the Wall Street Journal, have themselves figured out the real identities of 15 of those 19 at-large suspects. The professor, Asra Nomani, says, 'The FBI says this is an open investigation, but in talking to officials it's clear there's no work being done on the ground.'"
[Students left to do the FBI's work? And check out this video from Rachel Maddow on how American taxpayers are getting screwed all the way around on our bogus 'war on terror'. The 2 minutes and 40 seconds will help you get a clue.]
Gee, I didn't hear anything about that
WASHINGTON — Alice Rocchio is an office manager at the New York headquarters of the Hess Corp., drives a 1993 Chevy Cavalier and lives in an apartment in Queens, N.Y., with her husband, Pasquale, an Amtrak foreman. Despite what appears to be a middle-class lifestyle, the couple has written $61,600 in checks to John McCain's presidential campaign and the Republican National Committee, most of it within days of McCain's decision to endorse offshore oil drilling.

The fascists forced to pay up
Bush criminals pay $800,000 to patriots
DES MOINES, Iowa - State records show that a $50,000 judgment has been awarded to two retired school teachers who were strip-searched during a 2004 campaign stop by George Bush. The State Appeal Board recently approved the out-of-court settlement for Alice McCabe and Christine Nelson. In June, a federal jury awarded the women $750,000 on their claim that their constitutional rights were violated.
[The neo-Nazis who worked for the 2004 Bush campaign had these two women arrested for wearing a Kerry-Edwards button pin and for a small, paper sign stating "No More War.". Look for those same bastards who now work for John McCain to raise their ugly heads again. And when they do, they need to be beaten down! BAMN]
'Obama the Antichrist?'
CNN actually asks
Just so we're clear: Barack Obama is in fact not the Anti-Christ, sent here to feed on the souls of the innocent, resume Satan's reign over earth and bring about the apocalypse as foretold in Revelation. Not. The. Anti-Christ. ... Apparently a not-insignificant number of Americans, after viewing John McCain's Web ad The One, with its Messianic overtones -- come away thinking that Barack Obama has been sent from Hell to Earth to turn its citizens against God.
[Well, if he was really 'The One', then he'd be ready to lead don't you think? - I guess you have to hear the last line on the 'web ad'...]
When they wear 'it' on their sleeves
BOISE, Idaho — Joseph Edward Duncan III, facing the death penalty for the 2005 kidnapping of two northern Idaho children and the murder of one of them ... There is "love in my heart and yet at the same time there is a huge reservoir of hatred (evil). ... I am driven by my hatred for our society ('the system') while at the same time tortured by my own compassion. ... I don't know what God wants for me, I just don't know."[Beware of people who wear 'flag' shirts.

The Germans figured it out
BERLIN, Aug 16 (Reuters) - Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder blamed Tbilisi on Saturday for sparking hostilities with Moscow and suggested its breakaway regions could not remain part of Georgia following the violent clashes of the past week. In an interview with German weekly Der Spiegel, Schroeder also criticised the West for failures in its dealings with Russia and urged Europe to strengthen its ties with Moscow.

GOLD
The Limbaugh Award
Had a very tumultuous selection process this week that resulted in the suspension of our two Nazi-sympathizing Constitution(sic) Party committee members.
As you remember, John McCain cannot win the Limbaugh Award again until week #80. One of the Committee bylaws (Rule #22, Section b, Paragraph IV) states that any recipient who has more than 10% of the total number awarded, the name of the award would have to be changed to that person's. John McCain has won this world-renown, 'prestigious, but infamous' award for liars, seven times, so he hasn't been able to win since week #71. And believe me, he could have won every one of those weeks since week #71.
Our two Constitution Party members - we jokingly refer to them as, Colonel Klink and Klaus Barbie - went absolutely ballistic when I refused to let them nominate John McCain. They had a good case since McCain lied virtually every day this week. But, as I said in week #71, I want to keep the award named after the country's biggest liar - McCain is close, he's up there with Bush, but Limbaugh is the master.
But as it was, the belligerence and unruliness displayed by Klink and Klaus got them both a two week suspension and on a vote of 17-6, the Committee selected Sean Hannity as the 76th Limbaugh Award winner.
Sean 'A Terrible American' Hannity spent 36.5 hours of radio and TV time this week prattling over the John Edwards (the 75th Limbaugh Award winner) sex scandal. Huh, fair enough - 36.5 hours is a little excessive but when Hannity's pet 'liberal', Alan Colmes, compared John McCain's affair - that resulted in him abandoning his wife and three children - Hannity came up with a whopper of an excuse for McNasty! Because of Nam, he “wasn’t the same person when he got back, for a short period of time.”
What bullshit! 'For a short period of time'? McCain dumped his family six years after he returned. John McCain is a selfish little prick who was disgusted with his first wife's, Carol, injuries she suffered in an auto accident. She waited for his gimpy-ass for 5 1/2 years and look at that ugly bastard. He was disgusted? He left her and the children for the hot blonde millionaire bimbo. Hey, that's fair enough too, but if infidelity is the subject, let's talk about all the players since after all, John Edwards isn't running for anything.
You see, we could have selected McCain again. Maybe I'll make it only one week for Klaus and Klink. But Hannity lying and covering up for the cruel little creep, makes him a worthwhile choice too.
Congratulations asshole, you're #76!
