Debate Night!!

So McCain has decided that he maybe should go and do the debate, even though no deal has been hammered out on the bailout (for the wealthy) plan. Probably his fault since it was reported that he didn't help with the negotiations at all.

I am hoping that that Obama wipes the floor with this guy. McCain has shown that he does not have the judgment or the character to do the right thing. The biggest example of this for me is his choice for VP. If you have been paying attention to the interviews it is painfully clear that Palin is way out of her league and has no knowledge of the issues that we face today. Her responses are downright incoherent. Obama needs to show that McCain is not what America needs right now.

What America needs right now is to start thinking logically for once and stop thinking "with your gut." What I am saying to be straight and to the point is that we need to stop voting for people based on what their gender or race is and start voting based on the issues. I am 99.99% sure that if Obama was white (and had a "normal" sounding name) that he would have a double-digit lead by now. People know that putting McCain and Palin in office will only make things worse for middle class Americans, yet they cannot get over their issues of the fear of a black President or they cannot get over the fact that Obama won the primary fair and square.

If you are a female and like Palin as a replacement for Hillary Clinton then you are a disgrace to all women since Palin is against many of the rights that YOU should have and McCain is against equal pay for equal work. If you do not vote for Obama just because he is black you deserve to continue to live your life at your mobile home with the meth lab in it. If you are black and are solely voting for Obama because he is black you are helping to perpetuate stereotypes that are negative to our race.

What we as Americans need to do is to use our brains and do some research. It is not that hard at all and you need to stop being lazy and believing everything you hear from teh media. It is your civic duty to make sure that you will vote for the person that may best serve your needs. You can start by watching the debate tonight and stop being too lazy to get informed.

And you also need to make sure you are registered to vote.

I can't even watch anymore!!!!

Ok. If you think that Sarah Palin is qualified to be Vice President, or anything in that matter you are an idiot. Excerpts of her interview with Katie Couric have been coming up online and it is painful to watch. I mean bad:





This is insane. If you was applying for a job, and I was in charge of hiring her, the interview would have been over by now.

Sorry that I have been gone....

....but things have been busy and I have been playing catch up so here are some quick hits since I am leaving for work son and I am starving.

1. McCain wants to suspend his campaign and Friday night's debate because of the "economic situation." AKA he is scared shitless and the polls are reflecting that they believe that Barack Obama is more capable of solving this economic crisis.

2. Barack Obama took the lead in a poll today, up nine points over John McCain (52 - 43). I still do not put much faith in polls since there are so many of them all saying something different.

3. Sarah Palin still has not been allowed to talk to the press. A particular news personality thinks that is actually sexist. You can view the video at Huffington Post.

4. Make sure that you are registered to vote. There is a simple way to do this. Just go to Voteforchange.com and take three minutes of your time to make sure you are registered and to do so if you are not. This election is too important for anyone to fuck with so do your job and vote. If you do not vote, don't complain if things get worse.

That is all for now.

The Daily Show

If I didn't have to work 12 hour days I would have more time for "The Daily Show." This is the show that has surpassed the mainstream media's ability to get the facts straight. You would think that would all of the resources that they should have that they could get the facts, but its a small cable show that manages to find the truth instead of asking stupid ass questions and glossing over everything. In all honesty, screw the news and watch "The Daily Show," which by the way is now on the excellent site Hulu if you miss it.

This GOP convention is funny as hell!!

I am grudgingly tuning into the GOP Convention before I go out to get my chicken wings. I was told that it would be some funny ass viewing, but damn this takes the cake! I am watching this and this has gotten to be lowest energy convention I have ever seen. People are there just looking like a bump on the log, and I guess that is all well since there is low enthusiasm for Sarah Palin; even GOP Pundits don't like her!

This is just so lame and I am turning it off. It could turn me to drugs.

A Cool Event Coming up In Baltimore 9/27/08







This sounds like a really good time! If you want to go let me know!

It's been a little bit....

Yeah I am sorry I have not posted (for the one or two people that may read this), but unfortunately for you I have a job that has taken a lot of time this summer. But anyways you do not want to hear me complain about that, but probably about things going on in the world.

Barack Obama gave the greatest speech I have ever seen and solidified my belief that not only will he be the next President, but that we need him more than we think we do. Unfortunately the next day, McCant, I mean McCain decided to pick someone to be his running mate who has less experience in national matters than Obama. Why is this a big deal to me you may ask? Not only did McCain harp on Obama's supposed lack of experience, but he decided to potentially fuck us over big time. His age and health are a big factor in this election to me, and he has the responsibility to (God forbid should he become President) to have a vice president who can take over immediately. Of course he did not do that, and this was a cynical move on his part to try to get the PUMAs to vote for him. So much for putting your country first, but what do you expect from a guy that almost finished last in his class at the Naval Academy?

Things are only getting worse for him. Check out the Huffington Post and you will all the facts about Sarah Palin, everything from her time almost getting recalled as a mayor up to potential ethics problems. With all of this going on I highly doubt McCain did any research. Hell is he used the internet he would have known all of the shit going on with her, but maybe he just didn't care and just wants to be in office. I could mention the pregnant daughter, but for me, that has nothing to do with politics, even though some think that it does.

What we know about her is that she likes to hunt, is hardcore pro life (against abortion in the event of incest or rape), was a beauty queen, has a journalism degree (2 year degree by the way), and makes a hell of a moose stew! Not only that, she also says the War in Iraq is God's will and she prayed for a 30 million dollar oil pipeline to come to Alaska.

But if that does not make her qualified, I have heard women screaming from the top of her lungs that she is qualified because she popped out five fucking kids. That's a bunch of bullshit. She would be more qualified in my opinion if she had learned to close her legs and stop fucking. I know a bunch of people on welfare who have five kids and I am sure that people would think they are unqualified for the position to potentially run this country. But hey if anything good comes out of this then we all know that we all can run for President!

I am hoping that people wake up in the country and realize that we have a candidate who actually cares about the country, its just he is young and black for once. Unfortunately I am still on edge as to whether or not people can look past their preconceived notions and prejudices, and not only think about themselves, but think about the future of their children.

And most importantly, stop being a bunch of dumb fucking Americans for once! Have some pride!
