Electoral Map 09/25/08

I think we'll get Ohio, Indiana and New Mexico, but they're polling a little close to say for sure.

Palin and McCain...Match Made In Heaven???

I was just reading George Will's article in the Washington Post titled 'McCain Loses His Head' and it got me to thinking that Palin and McCain are really a match made in heaven.

Peep game

Palin said, and I'm paraphrasing, that the private companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac where a tax burden on the people, though they weren't funded through the taxes we pay. That clearly showed she was talking about something she had no idea about. Kinda like the Bush Doctrine she has no clue about "In what regard Chaaaaaaarlie"

Then we have McCain who recently called for the firing of the SEC chairman, Chris Cox, which showed that he has no idea what a president can do, cause he sure in hell can't fire the SEC chairman.

I think that makes them a match made in heaven....neither one of them know anything, but you would think they would be able to make up for whatever the other lacks but they're clearly both clueless.

(sorry my work computer doesn't have photoshop so I had to use paint)

lmao Penis and Football

So I'm late in finding out Chris Cooley of the Redskins mistakenly posted a picture of his penis in his blog when posting a picture of his playbook.

The book was in his lap and he was ummmm naked

Check it out

(Completely not political but darn funny)

Mccain and the Blackberry

So, we have him to thank for the blackberry?? Or is the Canadian company Research in Motion who created the blackberry????

Or was he partially responsible for facilitating the technology much like Gore was for bringing about the internet??? Hmmmmmmmm

government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

I think David Brooks sums up Sarah Palin quite well:

"Sarah Palin has many virtues. If you wanted someone to destroy a corrupt establishment, she’d be your woman. But the constructive act of governance is another matter. She has not been engaged in national issues, does not have a repertoire of historic patterns and, like President Bush, she seems to compensate for her lack of experience with brashness and excessive decisiveness. "

I think she should stay in Alaska, she's very pro-Alaska, almost to a fault. She's the have a beer with you while eating your mooseburger type person, which is why she should not be the next VP or President. We have a beer drinking friend in the white house and you see where that got us.

I used Abraham Lincoln's words in the title to tie in with the notion of the people's president, a president who is like us and works for us. Bush, well he isn't like most but he's like a lot of us, and he's a terrible president. I believe Palin to be very similar in that regard, she's like a lot of "us," working mom, soccer hockey mom, wife, etc, but like Mr. Brooks said "she has not been engaged in national issues." Everything was about what the position can do for Alaska, not what she can do for the country. I guess living in Alaska is like living in your own country....wait wasn't she or her husband a member of that Alaskan Independent Party which believes in secession from the US????

Waaaaait a minute!

Thats my opinion, and I'm sticking to it!

IT'S THE ECONOMY STUPID

“The issue of economics is not something I’ve understood as well as I should” Sen John Mccain

After the dow drops 504 points, the worse day on the market since 9/11 and Mccain says

"Our economy, I think, still the fundamentals of our economy are strong."

Dow drops 500 points

Fundamentals of the economy are strong

Lehman Brothers declares bankruptcy

Fundamentals of the economy are strong

National unemployment rate is 6.1, Michigan unemployment rate 8.5....the worse in the US and the state I live in yet....

Fundamentals of the economy are strong

I think he really meant what he said that he doesn't know about the economy like he should

Questions for Palin

Excellent article By Katha Pollitt

http://www.thenation.com/doc/20080929/pollitt

If I had 5 questions to ask Sara Palin, they would be:

1) How would you prepare for a possible war with Russia? Would you try diplomacy first or go in with your guns a blazing from the helicopter like you do with the wolves?

2) Looking at the images of the north pole from over the years, you can see how the ice is melting. The melting directly correlates with the increase of green house gases. How do you explain the melting? Also, what effects, whether they're human made or not, do you believe this melting will have on the environment?

3) With your daughter deciding to keep her baby and you praised that decision, wouldn't that make you pro-choice? Since it was a decision that was made, instead of her not thinking about any other choice, that seems to me to be pro-choice.

4)What do you attribute to the debt you left in Wasilla when you left office? There was a balance budget before you got there and a reported $22 million debt when you left.

5) What would you consider to be your economic philosophy?
