You Just Won The Democratic Nomination, What Are You Going To Do Next?

Go to Disney? Nah, Barack just likes to "Punch It In" with his wife, Michelle.

Don't Hold Back...

I don't know why this struck a chord with me- but at a minimum, I commend former President Jimmy Carter for speaking his mind. Jimmy Carter thinks picking Hillary as a running mate would be "just about the worst mistake he's (Obama) ever made." Don't hold back tell us how you really feel Jimbo!

Is Mike Huckabee Serious?

Former Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee was speaking Friday to the NRA, when there was a loud bang. Instead of continuing his speech, he aimed an assassination joke at Barack Obama. *crickets*

Huckabee apologized for his "offhand remark," saying it was not "intended to offend or disparage Senator Obama." Obama, for his part, refused to comment. Because what's funnier than killing a U.S. Senator?! What poor taste.

This Is Just Ignorant...

I guess with the close of the Democratic race, the claws had to come out at some point. To date, the race card has been supressed to some degree. However, it seems that recent news reports are showing that the race card is being displayed in full effect. In Cobb County, GA, a Marietta bar owner hawked a T-shirt depicting Barack Obama as a monkey, while another Pennsylvania citizen wanted to "Hang that darky from a tree."

Meet the Potential "FLILF" (Not Me Per Se... But You Know What I Mean)

As the election of 2008 approaches with its cast of contenders who bring unprecedented diversity to the quest for the White House, the voting public has been called on to ponder several questions: Is America ready for a woman to be president? What about a black man? A Mormon?

Now, with the possible candidacy of Fred D. Thompson, the grandfatherly actor and former Republican senator from Tennessee, whose second wife, Jeri Kehn Thompson, is almost a quarter-century his junior, comes a less palatable inquiry that is spurring debate in Internet chat rooms, on cable television and on talk radio: Is America ready for a president with a trophy wife?

p.s. - She is a former Senate aide and a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee. And she is not a home wrecker. Mr. Thompson had been divorced from his first wife for almost two decades before he remarried in 2002. Really well written article by the NYT below...

Naked Politics...

Radar magazine spoofs Vanity Fair's infamous 2006 Hollywood cover this month... With the politics season warming up, politicians take place of the celebrities and become easy targets for the tabloids. I can only wonder what this controversial Radar November cover will do to the candidates Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Rudy Giuliani.

Hilary... Felony Caught On Tape?

Please watch this video, as Hillary Clinton deceives biggest campaign contributor Peter Paul, steals his business partner, destroy his company, plants false media stories and corrupts the judiciary. Hillary's voice caught on tape amazing proof of purgery, obstruction of justice, corruption, direct involvement in felony fundraising. Crime on tape. Largest fraud in election history. What do you think?

Punking the White House?

This is pretty ballsy... surprised there isn't video coverage catching whoever did this...

White House pranksters wrapped Karl Rove's Jaguar in plastic wrap on the private driveway next to the West Wing.

Rove's car is now easily recognizable because of its "I love Barack Obama" bumper sticker and the twin stuffed-animal eagles on the trunk. Oh, and there's a stuffed-animal elephant on the hood.

Rove, the top White House political strategist who recently announced his resignation, left his car on the driveway while visiting Texas and traveling with President Bush. He was due back in Washington Wednesday evening.

Fed may not Cut Rates

The U.S. Federal Reserve is not rushing to cut benchmark interest rates because it wants to break investors of the view that the central bank is there to bail them out. (So much for that break in my business....)

It is sad when.....

When in order to keep your job as a United States Senator that you get on the news and tell the public that you have sex with men, but you are not "gay." Yes ladies and gentlemen, the distinguished Senator proclaimed that he engaged in sexual activity with men, but is not "gay." As if that makes his Wife and the Republican Party feel any better.

Presidential Elections - Whos Running

As you all know the 2008 election is rapidly approaching. The Media has seemed to focus on the Democratic Party so I wanted to give you a quick run down so you'll be able to hold a conversation on the political election.

As you know President Bush can not be re-elected ( thank goodness) and Cheney has elected not to run for Presidency

Fun Fact: Barring a reversal of Cheney's Sherman Statement, this will be the first time since the 1952 election that the incumbent party has put forth a candidate for President who is not currently President or Vice President. It is the first election since that of 1928 in which an incumbent President or Vice President has not sought either party's nomination (as Alben Barkley briefly did in 1952).

My lame attempt at being political....

So- somebody forwarded this to me today... does someone really have that much time to composite/find pictures of George Bush and a monkey to do a side by side comparison?

As many of you know, I don't have political views. I rely on Hadley to feed me information and provide me with news updates.
