"Major Search Engines Suggest Barack Obama is the Anti-Christ"

I ran across this article this morning (courtesy of Politics.PopuPlace.com) and found it somewhat amusing. I also found it scary in some ways. I've always found Nostradamus an interesting fellow.

Shady...

"Ohio Homeless Driven to Polls to Vote Obama"

I suspected something like this (here also) was going on during the primaries, as I found it highly coincidental that Obama won every single caucus. Shady...

Some more shade:

Ex-generals cry foul over pro-Obama video

"The gender trap: We're familiar with drug testing for athletes, but officials at the Beijing Olympics will be taking things one stage further and examining competitors whose sex is in doubt. And it is far from being a new problem, as Emine Saner discovers"

Great article by Emine Saner, from the Guardian in the UK.

I actually never knew this was so much of an issue that they had to actually "test" women thought to be men competitors. Although, looking back to my younger years as an avid Olympics watcher, I do recall some of the East German team members to be very "butch", shall we say? Who knew that they were being forced to ingest physically altering drugs that also made them somewhat mental, and for some, suicidal.

Reading the section on Adolf Hitler, it doesn't surprise me that he would have resorted to such trickery as substituting a male in a female competition in order to give the appearance of Aryan domination and supremacy. Compared to most of the horror he created and stirred up, the shenanigans perpetrated at the Olympics can be considered quite tame.

As far as the Polish sprinter goes, wouldn't it have been VERY obvious that her bits and pieces were flopping about as she ran like the wind? Even back then, I think they wore shorts that were, well...short. I assume some serious taping and shellacking had to be done before every race. Wouldn't someone have noticed during all those years?

Anyway, back to China. It seems that the more I hear about the Olympics this year, the more I get disturbed about the way they are being conducted. Most likely, the Olympics will probably NEVER be held in a communist country again. There seems to be way to much drama and bullshit associated with the act of fair play and camaraderie between nations. Great lengths seem to be taken to make the air of goodwill the games represent anything but...

Here we Go Again, AGAIN!...

"Arrest Made in Death of Pregnant North Carolina Soldier"

Are we going to have one of these every week now?

As I wrote previously, WHO THE HELL are they letting into the military? It's becoming a fucking joke. It used to be prestigious and held some air of dignity and respect when someone was active in the military, now it seems that the current crop of recruits are destroying that reputation with stupid ass antics.

I was saying that the punishment should be more harsh than it currently is but screw that. Why don't they just gas these guys right off the bat. Screw the trial, to hell with the lawyers, just take them directly to the gas chamber.

It seems like if your preggers in the military, you better watch your ass...

I wonder what the powers that be are doing to try and control and most importantly STOP this behaviour. In all actuality, what can be done?

Un-Biased Reporting At It's Best...

McCain Campaign: New York Times Blocked Op-Ed Response to Obama

After reading the actual Op-Ed that the times refused to print I am alarmed as to why it would be rejected.

Time's op-ed editor David Shipley writes:

“It would be terrific to have an article from Senator McCain that mirrors Senator Obama’s piece. To that end, the article would have to articulate, in concrete terms, how Senator McCain defines victory in Iraq. It would also have to lay out a clear plan for achieving victory — with troops levels, timetables and measures for compelling the Iraqis to cooperate. And it would need to describe the Senator’s Afghanistan strategy, spelling out how it meshes with his Iraq plan,”.

Give me a fucking break! For one thing the reason we have elections is to make a choice between different points of view. Key word: DIFFERENT. Why would we want to read a rehash of what Osama, I mean, Obama had to say. He probably didn't even write that himself as he has a plethora of speech writers on speed dial I'm sure.

It clearly states that a decision about troop withdrawal depends on the climate and circumstances of the situation as McCain clearly states, "I have also said that any draw-downs must be based on a realistic assessment of conditions on the ground, not on an artificial timetable crafted for domestic political reasons. "

Seriously, I can go on about this but I digress...The fact that the Times is trying to censor and, what looks like to me, plant a firm root into mainstream America's decision on the next President, whomever that may be (duh, I feel like it's the coronation of the prom queen all of a sudden), makes me kind of ill.

If you give one person coverage, give the other equal time or equal access to avenues in order to get THEIR message out and not what your editor thinks they should say. I'd like to hear what the candidate thinks he/she should be saying.

Hell, if David Shipley thought we wanted to hear what he thinks should be said about the war then he should have ran for President. Otherwise, shut the hell up and do what you are paid to do- and that would be unbiased reporting you douchebag...

More Political Fodder...

"Bill Clinton Ready to Campaign for Obama ‘Whenever’"

God, I love Bill Clinton. He totally rules...

I was watching this yesterday as I was on the elliptical trainer and you could totally see he wasn't really into the Obama thing. I don't blame him as I agree with what their (Hilly and Billy's) campaigning was all about from the get go. He's (Obama) too inexperienced and too arrogant. He's been in national politics for what, about 2 years? Give me a fucking break. That's like hiring a very recent college graduate to run your billion dollar company right off the bat. The only change I see coming from him in office is a total meltdown and I am very scared of what that is going to be like. I wouldn't mind if he ran like in 8 years but now, HELL NO.

After seeing most of these polls shifting towards McCain, my fears are subsiding a bit and I have to get on the ball with reregistering in the new place I just moved to so I can vote for McCain this November. I may be a Democrat but I'm not a sheep...

I actually agree with Clinton's remark:

"If all of us lived on live mics, then 100 percent of us in this room would be embarrassed from time to time..."

Can you imagine the shit that comes out of other people's mouths when they think they are not being heard? I can't believe some of the things I say, let alone what other's may be barking out at times.

Blackhole Or Void-Of-All-Color-Hole?...

"Texas County Official Sees Race in Term 'Black Hole'"

Give me a break!

Seriously, I am getting so sick of people crying racism every time they have a chance to. Then when there actually IS a legitimate case of racism that happens, no one actually cares about it or has some doubt to it's authenticity.

I'm mixed myself and do I get all up in arms when someone makes a comment about drunk Indians or Wetbacks? Not really. Do I care? Not really. I have more important things to worry about like bills, food, entertainment and of course my fat little pugs.

Take the high road people and get over it. If you make issues out of nothing, not only does your point get buried in the drama, people are not going to care about your point as a result. In fact, the next time you have an important point to make, you are not going to be heard.

Back to the article...Do I think that the guy was being racist when he said "blackhole"? Absolutely not. Do I think that the people who took offense to this were being racist, ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY! They intentionally used the racism card to scare the guy from the topic and shift it to another area that was completely off topic. They were using the perception of being "thought of as a racist" to scare someone into complying with their side of the issue. This is actually a great tool to use in debate, so the accusers are somewhat savvy to this I suspect.

All in all, I wish people would just get over it and get their own lives straight...

Daddy Dearest...

"Bin Laden's son in web terror rant"

The Crown Prince of Terror? Looks more like a reject straight out of that Breakin' movie from the 80's, headband and all!

I say they find this little shit and bomb him too. In a few years we'll be regretting that we didn't.

It's really sad that a whole group of people are so into their religious beliefs that they are ruled by them. I love God (or whatever higher being you prefer) but I'm not going to kill every single person out there that disagrees with what I believe. I think that the Bible is a great work of fiction, somewhat akin to Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes, that teaches great lessons in compassion, trust, hope and charity but you can not take it literally. I think there are some moments there that are absolutely true and I think some moments are exaggerated and then some are pure fiction. Being able to decipher which is which makes you, dare I say- sane and functional. But I digress...

This kid is a powder keg waiting for someone to light the fuse. I actually feel sorry for this terrorist offspring in that he was probably raised and brainwashed, since he was in diapers, to believe that people from the evil West are scum. I would say that it's probably too late to reeducate him at this point but it certainly is not to late to save the rest of the world from another 9/11 or tube bombing, as was perpetrated in England.

You know he is just itching to make a statement that will enamour him to the many Bin Laden minions, but one that will also tell the world that he has arrived. Something bigger and better than what his father has done...something to make dad proud of his son. Scary thought...

Shut Up And Watch Me Eat...

"G8 summit: Gordon Brown has eight-course dinner before food crisis talks"

Gordon, can you pass the A-1 steak sauce?

So you're probably wondering what they ate? :

"The dinner consisted of 18 dishes in eight courses including caviar, smoked salmon, Kyoto beef and a "G8 fantasy dessert"...The banquet was accompanied by five different wines from around the world including champagne, a French Bourgogne and sake. "

Side note:

"African leaders including the heads of Ethiopia, Tanzania and Senegal who had taken part in talks during the day were not invited to the function. "

This just goes to show what hypocrites politicians are and the sketchiness of these so called "summits". Kind of fucked up how they didn't invite the Africans, LOL. Then again they probably would have made them serve the food had they been invited...

More Stunts To Cause A Riff...

"Black national anthem' stirs controversy for city"

Why start this kind of uproar?

This is what I am talking about. If you are picked to sing the national anthem, then sing the national anthem. Don't insert your own agenda into the proceedings.

If this had been a "White national anthem" sung by a white lady, Al Sharpton would have been on TV, Jesse Jackson would have thrown his hat into the foray and all hell would have broken loose.

People cry about racism and discrimination but the same groups that make the most noise always separate themselves with antics like this and feed the fire. The more we separate ourselves the less chance we have of overcoming racism. It's heartbreaking actually and infuriating at the same time...

I Know You Are But What Am I?,,,

"Bolivian President Calls Peruvian Head of State 'Fat,' Incites War of Words"

Yo mama is fat!

Too funny! They look so happy in the picture. I can just imagine what these two say about each other in private. So high school...

I guess there is a lot worse things that the guy could have said. Such as "Your mama wears combat boots" or "Go fly a kite"...

They Even Misspelled His Name...

"City Vehicles Painted with Anti-Obama Sayings "

Some people are so ghetto...and stupid for that matter...

Ahh, Florida. One of my favorite places. The weather is awesome and the beaches are great. The only bad thing is that there are serious rednecks there. As much as I can't stand Obama and feel he is another mistake this country will make, I do feel that damaging someone else's property with graffiti is fucked up.

Even though I seriously DO NOT condone violence of this magnitude, I do believe that someone is going to off this guy if he wins the White House. He better have Hillary as a VP, because honestly, I wouldn't want to get stuck with a no-name all of a sudden running the country. It's bad enough he might be in there.

Gas Pains...

"Oil rises as gas prices hit all-time high: The national average price for a gallon of gas rises to $4.086, with 33 states paying more than $4 a gallon. "

Before you know it they will have loan applications at the gas pumps .

I don't know where you live but here in Connecticut, the gas prices are fucking outrageous! I had to fill my tank up yesterday because it was empty, duh, and I nearly shit my pants when I saw the price meter keep going up and up and up... I ended up putting in over $70.00 fucking dollars. I was so pissed. When in the hell is this going to stop? There is no good reason why these assholes keep gouging the public. Then you have the God damn Republicans who don't want to do anything about it. Makes me totally sick.

I have now decided that I am going to buy a scooter and have been looking through the Internet feverishly. I actually saw one that was modestly priced and a Honda for that matter...

No Sex With Kids...

"Romania Allows 11-Year-Old Alleged Rape Victim to Have Late Abortion"

Some people are seriously deranged. What motivates someone to rape a child?...

This is truly a sad situation. First of all, anyone that gets off on getting off with kids is a fucking gross pig. I don't see how anyone can find sex with a child erotic in ANY way. It's so taboo that even the thought of it makes me squirm.

So, this got me thinking, marrying off your children back in the "old days" was completely acceptable. You had children as young as 12 getting hitched and sent to live with their new found spouse by themselves. When did society start to turn on this one and decide that it was not okay to pimp out your child to the highest bidder? When did we all of a sudden get a conscience and say, "Hey, this is not acceptable."?

I would agree with the parents and the child, for that matter, in this case, in that , I think she would be terribly traumatized with 1) having to go through the birthing process at such a young age 2) the stigma of having had a child in her community and school and 3) having to look at that child everyday and know that he/she was a product of a dirty little secret that she once had to hold inside of herself, literally.

Then you have these anti-abortion zealots who are supposedly thinking of the unborn child but in all actuality, they are thinking of themselves and passing judgement and their own moral compass onto others. You get this with groups condemning homosexuality all the time as well.

I actually got into an argument in college with some anti-abortion protesters once in the Student Union building. They were showing pictures of abortions right there in the Union and they were very graphic and all I could think of was how perverted the whole staging of the protest was. They came off as bullying people into conforming with their religious beliefs and it was pretty scary. So I asked the guy who was handing out the fliers if he knew exactly why that particular child was aborted and he actually responded that he didn't care, it was just wrong to kill a baby. I was dumbfounded. I then asked if he was going to support that child when it came out and he said that wasn't his decision to make and that the parents of the child needed to take responsibility for their actions. So I asked him "What if she was raped?" and I can't really remember anything more of what was said because he started in on me about Jesus and religion and the "Bible says this", etc. It's funny how these religious groups always start in with "the Bible says" crap. I wonder what society would be like if we all lived the literal translations of The Good Book.

Come to think of it, I always wondered why they allowed that to take place in the Union actually...

"Kennedy to undergo surgery at Duke for brain tumor"

Tumor

I heard that the doctors started the brain surgery operation but ran into a snafu. They couldn't find it! The only thing in there was an unused life preserver...

Tap Once For Head, Twice For...

Bathroom Reading: Sen. Craig to write book about airport sex arrest...

I wonder if this one is going to be a "How To" manual?...It cracks me up that this old fart is still denying that he is "NOT gay and never has been gay". He just has those gay eyes if you ask me. Oh, and the bathroom blow jobs were kind of a give away...

Who Ordered the Fa King Dum Fuk?...

"Sharon Stone films banned in China after 'karma' comment"

Karma

Damn. Those Chinese people are bitches. God forbid you say anything disparaging against the government there or else they'll fuck you up (because that's what they do in any civilized and democratic society, right?).

This got me thinking about how this will impact the film society of China. Just think of the countless millions who will never see such gems as "The Quick and the Dead", "Sliver", Basic Instinct 2" and of course, my favorite, "Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol". I guess they'll just have to settle for something a little less highbrow and thought provoking in the future...

I'm wondering how the Olympics are going to play out this summer. I totally see a food poisoning scandal affecting every team except the Chinese contingent...

Probably Indigestion from Fast Food...

Here's a clue...He's a fucking fat pig and drinks a lot. Maybe that had something to do with it? I wonder if he was flopping around like a piece of sizzling bacon? Sometimes, I wonder why I didn't get into the medical field...

"Clinton Superdelegate Reveals He Voted for Obama"

http://news.yahoo.com/s/cq/20080514/pl_cq_politics/politics2841491

I say this not because I am a Hill-billie but...Where is the fucking loyalty in our country these days. I would say the same thing if this was reversed. It seems like whomever has the momentum is like the piper leading the rats out of the city. When the other person plays his pipe louder they all follow that person, so it goes back and forth, back and forth... Just goes to show you that politicians are total liars and untrustworthy. I think Hillary should run as an independent with Gore. You know Obama is going to choose Edwards after yesterday's joke endorsement in Michigan...

He Does Look Like Curious George Actually...
