I had never heard of ZipperFish. Let me say I am now a new fan. A buddy of mine tipped me to this today while we were working on a military exercise overlooking Pearl Harbor. Unfortunately, I am in a 70 year old building in a windowless room. But enough of my belly aching. Enjoy.
So I had to watch to learn what Y.A.A.F.M. stands for — now I know.
I agree — with the Y.A.A.F.M.
Not a funny subject — however — it IS funny!
OHHhhhhhh I am totally a new fan!!!
Thanks Larry!
That was great!
I bet they could do a GREAT one on Bambi. And here I thought the Jib Jab Crew were the only entertaining political satirists on video.
Thanks, Larry, this is very funny, and how can any halfway intelligent person disagree with the conclusion?
It’s hard to believe the one man could do so much harm to our country in eight years. It’s especially frustrating that the Dems in Congress have done nothing–NOTHING–to check Bush and his agenda.
But too many voters, in their zeal to put Bush in the rear view mirror, aren’t asking the hard questions about the man who would be President–excuse me, the man who already thinks he IS President. I speak, of course, of Barack “how can you not love me?” Obama.
“…according to a witness, he told the House members, ‘This is the moment . . . that the world is waiting for,’ adding: ‘I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions.’
Is it possible that someone worse than Bush could end up in the WH? You bet.

It’s not fair to say the Democratic Congress did nothing to stop Bush:

If the Democrats broke a fifty-year record in fighting the Republicans, it seems a little unfair to say they did nothing…
There’s also the problem that the anti-Democratic media will rarely report anything the Democrats have done–so nobody knows what they’ve done.
Here’s some of what the Democratic Congress has done (and this is with a bare majority and a relentlessly obstructionist Republican minority):
http://www.apostille.us/news/democratic_accomplishments_in_the_110th_congress_leading_america_in_a_new_direction.shtml
How many of these, if any at all, actually became law?
It’s moot to say that congress has ‘passed legislation’ if none of it becomes the law of the land. IIRC, Bush has vetoed the above list.
Not to mention those delightful signing statements. No. They were a disgrace.
Agree with you on that one Beebop. Truth is any way you cut it Bush and Co. seized an opportunity…( stunned nation, cowed congress ) and got away with…well…lots o shit that in other circumstances would not have happened….Makes me appreciate how lucky we were with FDR.
Good Post Larry…enjoyed that and will check out more Zipperfish.
none of those tax breaks helped me. It helped mostly people w kids.
The dem congress could have prevented most all the crap Bush shoveled on america and the world after 9/11 by taking Bush out of office.
this is a laundry list of “could have beens”. All watered down and compromised by the repubs and by dems.
On the things they were elected for: the Iraq war, reigning in Bush, the budget, the tax cuts for the wealthy, FISA, they’ve done nothing or they have caved.
I happen to agree with Perry. Compared to the destruction the Republican Congress and Senate prior????
The Dem Congress is the ONLY one moving DIDDLY!
I still am pissed at them but I will give them some credit.
The BONER Congress and Lieber/McConnel Senate have been HEINOUS!!! and beyond whinny (crybabies)
Or is it the LieberBoner Senate and McConnell cry baby Congress? lol
either way they suck
Couldn’t agree more about our current president. All the more reason not to empower his worthy successor, Republican John McCain. I look forward to the discussion that will surely ensure on NoQuarter about this WashPost article:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/story/2008/07/29/ST2008072902360.html
It demonstrates, conclusively, that McCain’s hideous attack ad about Obama in Germany is scurrilous and false. I am assuming, of course, that all the PUMAs who have been using that story to impugne Obama’s patriotism will stop saying these horrible things, because you are all fair-minded people who are only interested in the facts.
You’ve seen the story and will comment on it, right, Larry?
Now you believe the MSM/Corporate owned media. They’ve covered for Bush all of these years.
Yet when they attack McCain and defend Obama they’re now telling the truth.
Why does the MSM/Corporate media want Obama in the WH so badly?
They savaged Bill And Hillary. They savaged Al Gore. They savaged John Kerry.
Yet they rush to Obama’s defense.
I don’t think they suddenly became journalists or grew a conscience.
So I ask again? Why would the same media that has been vilifying Democrats since Bill Clinton suddenly love Obama?
Corporate America always works in it’s own best interests.
and because they only vilify DEMOCRATS
BAMBI is NO DEM
Unfair attacks against Obama? And after the Obama people have been so nice…
Perry,
Love your website.
I wasn’t aware of all the bills the Democrats had managed to pass.
Funny how the Corporate media never mentions those accomplishments yet manages to praise Obama at every turn.
Huh.
Sorry Charlie, all the more reason not to put one father conflicted no resume punk in after another. Obama is Bush III.
Did you read beyond the HEADLINE?
Obama’s explanation, which came after more than a day of controversy, was the clearest in noting that it was Pentagon concerns about Gration accompanying him to the hospital that forced Obama to reconsider and, ultimately, cancel the visit.
First, Oblowme’s explanation? Please … but having said that, Gration is on the CAMPAIGN staff and not his SENATE staff. Barring Gration is business as usual, nothing unusual for the rules that EVERYONE follows on these visits. Sorry to break your shiney red balloon with the reality pin.
And, once again, this is Oblowme’s version. I don’t buy it and no one who has watched him PREEN buys it. Isn’t the Oblowme as VICTIM meme his favorite defense? We certain know that the TRUTH and a SIMPLE APOLOGY for cancelling a visit to WOUNDED SOLDIERS would never the hell occur to him.
For what it’s worth … I find you as DISGUSTING as he is ….
You find me disgusting? I don’t know or care enough about you to find you disgusting; I just generally find your commentary even more shallow, ill-considered and, generally speaking, stupid than the average PUMA post. Your penchant for calling a sitting U.S. Senator “Oblowme,” for instance, might be amusing to the average grade schooler, but for an adult who claims patriotism to speak that way of a Senator is just gross. You should be ashamed of yourself; but then again, you’re a PUMA, so you know noting of the concept of intellectual shame.
And since you also know nothing of history and aren’t interested in finding any out, you have no idea how truly shocking it is that the Pentagon would, at the last minute, disrupt a Senator’s visit to a military hospital for brazenly partisan political purposes. This is NOT something that is done all the time, or ever. Or perhaps you’d care to show me another instance where a sitting U.S. Senator was told not to enter a military hospital because he had one military advisor with him who happened to be a member of his campaign staff.
no, it demonstrates nothing but the media fawning over their chosen one, and it means obama is once again playing the victim.
you are an idiot, SF. Go change your diapers, you’re stinking up the place.
We just need to forgive the republicans, we can’t move forward if we try to hold some kind of accountabvility to them.
See also the FISA vote.
Fair trade: our Constitution for Barack’s Presidency!
Win - win or lose - lose?
Electing Obama — and decisively rejecting the Republican Party until it is purged of Bushism — saves the Constitution, along with the federal budget, our respect in the rest of the world, our likelihood of defeating Al Qaeda, our likelihood of really combating global warming and getting a national health care program, and so much more. This is win-win if I’ve ever heard it.
Telecomm immunity fits where in that picture?
More Obot cluelessness & claims not based in reality.
FISA flip-flop, faith based initiatives, gun control flip-flop, abortion rights’ flip-flops: where do these all fit into “saving the Constitution?”
And Obama is going to fight Al Qaeda with WHAT military knowledge? Oh right, he’ll ask all the “experts” sort of like W’s method. That worked out really well.
And national health care? WHERE have you been “sweetie?” HE DOES NOT HAVE A UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE PLAN. Starting with leaving a huge chunk of the American people out will cause it to fail.
Ocean or fly fishing, Mr. Murder?
FISA is a basic violation of our rights. But that doesn’t bother you right? As long as Obama, who voted for it, wins.
What has Obama ever done in his political career to make you think he can accomplish all of the things you list?
He couldn’t even protect public housing residents in his own district. But he will defeat Al Qaeda?
The slumlord friend of Obama that left his constituents to freeze during a Chicago winter in his own district while he funneled money Rezko’s way and he claims to know nothing about it.
At least one person came forward and said that they did complain to his office about Rezko. At first Obama denied it. The Obama said he couldn’t be sure. He didn’t remember.
This person is going to fix all of those things you claim.
I realize that not all Democrats, just like all Republicans, are cut from the same cloth.
Obama couldn’t help the poor in his own district. Yet he will fix all of America’s ills.
And the world’s.
I don’t believe that about any one human being. If you do that’s not political support. That’s idol worship.
I don’t worship Obama, and I’m not blind to any of his flaws. I just think he would make an immeasurably better president than McCain, and my reasons for this are rational and reasoned, not childish and fantastical (i.e., “worse than Hitler,” “wants to rule the world,” “already scarier than Bush,” blah blah blah).
And yet, you find this “mature?”
These are your words by the way … taken from a post that appears below ….
Typical PUMA idiocy. The oceans will rise, the wars will continue,
So there you are. It just depends on who is saying it, I guess. I don’t know you by anyone whose screen name appears to be “shit for Hillary” is an axxhole as far as I am concerned, know what I mean?
Based on what? His short Senate record and his non-accomplishments in Chicago?
Please.
Pony Up the Records….Real Ones SFHILLARY….Prove Your shitty messiah is ELIGIBLE FOR POTUS….mkay?
Yet you do not answer candymarl’s question.
How do you support an immoral and indifferent human being, who has lied about knowing of the suffering of his constituents while he profited from the dealings with the person responsible for their plight?
This not rational in the least or reflect any kinda “judgment”. So please answer the question! No one Obama supporter has EVER been able to.
Electing Obama — and decisively rejecting the Republican Party until it is purged of Bushism — saves the Constitution…
Rigging the Democratic primary is not a good start.
FASCIST IS AS FASCIST DOES….DFA = Dean’s Fascists for America…nuff said
Obama is Bush. Check the film again … proving something to daddy … don’t you see it? Jesus you people are blind, deaf and decidedly dumb, aren’t you?
no, this is the falsehood you want to believe. Obam and the democrats are marching right down the line with Bush: FISA, Iraq, tax cuts, the budget. They all want to keep the same power structure. why else would they nominate a prick/egomaniac/junior senator with nothing to offer but a silver tongue laced with arrogance? He is malleable so the demos will have their say.
The conservative brand is dead already–bush did that. Voting AGAINST Obama and FOR McCain ACTUALLY SAVES THE CONSTITUTUION. Not the other way around.
Barky is a trojan horse.
nominate a prick/
Had to read that twice, morning dyslexia. I thought it said pickle…
The barn is burning so BO supporters can be seen running from the barn to the house, which has a neon sign on it saying if you enter here you will be “sorry” and still they choose to ignore it.
Saying ANYTHING is better than whence they came, and not where they go. But just make sure it not anyone really qualified! That would mean reality…BO supporters can’t hack that.
I keep hearing President Clinton saying…” They really DO believe the crap.”
Obama’s excuse for not visiting the hospital doesn’t fly for me and I doubt it will for most others. If he wasn’t there to make a political spectacle, then why was he there at all w news people? Why not just go on the trip w security and leave everyone else behind? Why go to a volatile place and landmark and throw a free concert w free food? Why make sure the news knows he left a prayer in a wall? The point of the trip was supposedly to talk to some of the leaders. My guess is he wanted to just make it look like he was gaining some sort of foreign policy experience.
I don’t care that he went to the gym or played basketball. I care that Obama is making a spectacle of the election for President of the United States. He has no business running and he has no business being in the White House. McCain is not George Bush. Although not my first choice he is my second. There is no way I will ever vote for Barack Obama. Patriotic? I have serious doubts about that from anyone who sat in Rev. Wrights church for 20 years listening to racist, America hate talk and won’t put his hand on his heart for the Pledge/National Anthem. Not EVER.
Obama didn’t visit the hospital because the Pentagon is in the bag for the GOP and told him, once his group was already in the air, that he couldn’t. He didn’t have media with him — that’s just a lie that McCain is saying and clowns like you mindlessly repeat. Your other inane comments make equally clear that what is standard operating procedure for any other politician in the middle of a campaign, is not acceptable for Obama. McCain and HRC and everyone else make exactly the same international trips to look good and they make sure to have the media along — like all the cameras that captured Hillary’s moment with the little girl in Bosnia which she later “misremembered” as having been dangerous, or McCain bringing along dozens of media people to record his infamous stroll through the “safe” Baghdad market along with a couple hundred troops — but when Obama does it, it’s evidence that he doesn’t love America. I know you will NEVER vote for Obama and I couldn’t give a shit — most Republicans will never vote for Obama, that’s no surprise. I’m just appalled, as always, by the ignorance, disinformation and sheer ugly personal hatred that fuel your diatribes, and glad that so many other Americans are moving into our court, as evidenced by every last recent poll except the USA Today outlier and its crappy likely voter methodology. I’m also glad, btw, that McCain is running the ugliest and most inept presidential campaign in recent history. The past couple weeks, since he turned so clumsily negative, he isn’t just losing the election — he is disgracing his own reputation. Man, we Obamans are going to kick your Republican asses from here to Sunday in November, and I will enjoy immensely coming to this site and listening to all your poor PUMA sniveling whining about how America is about to be destroyed, right when we actually embark on a national renaissance after this horrible years of Republican ascendance.
I can live with another Republican President.
What I can’t live with is a Democratic President that got in the WH based on cries of unfairness and racism.
The civil rights movement didn’t liberate Obama’s ancestors.
In case you haven’t noticed Obama’s father was Kenyan - not a descendant of slaves. His mother was white - not a descendant of slaves.
When did a disagreement about a candidate become whining?
This is why you’ll never get PUMA support.
You don’t know how to ask.
But keep digging.
>I can live with another Republican President.
>What I can’t live with is a Democratic President >that got in the WH based on cries of unfairness >and racism.
Typical PUMA idiocy. The oceans will rise, the wars will continue, The Supreme Court will tilt conservative, the nation will continue going bankrupt, millions will sicken and die because they lack health insurance — but god forbid that a Democrat should get into the White House based on “cries of unfairness” (whatever that means in the context of a two-year electoral campaign). This kind of brain-dead drivel would be funny if it weren’t so scary. Oh right — nobody takes you people seriously because your numbers are miniscule and Obama is pulling away from McCain and will defeat him in a landslide. So no, your blithering nonense isn’t scary, it’s just funny. “Cries of racism” are more important than health care, tax policy and the Iraq War. Hilarious!
Oh FUCK OFF SFHILLARY ! you are tedious….WE DON’T CARE ABOUT YOU OR YOUR SHITTY MESSIAH….scram
nobody takes you people seriously because your numbers are miniscule and Obama is pulling away from McCain and will defeat him in a landslide.
LOL! I love how the Obots keep repeating that our numbers are “miniscule” like they have facts about that. Do you not see the repeated polls showing the large faction of Dems who WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA? Obama is “pulling away from McCain?” You mean the USA/Gallup poll that has McCain up by 4? I can’t wait for the 527’s to destroy Obama. That will help with the polls too sweetie. Elections are decided in the last weeks, not July. Read some history.
p.s. if all those “horrible” cataclysmic images you paint come true: blame the corrupt primary process for hijacking the election and refusing to “select” the true Democrat in the race.
And by the way, I know I will never get PUMA support. PUMAs are fools and, being fools, you will vote for McCain. That’s fine; he’ll get a solid 47% of the vote, maybe 48%, and PUMAs will be among that losing 48%. If the polling showed that your numbers were relevant I would be concerned about your “movement.” But your numbers are not relevant so I don’t care about you and your hatred of Obama at all. You can have your fun pretending your efforts have meaning. I’m here talking to all the non-PUMAs who surely visit this site on any given day. In the midst of learning that “cries of unfairness and racism” should be deciding factors in one’s vote this fall — as opposed to, just to offer one of many examples, McCain’s desire to make Bush’s tax cuts for rich people permanent, which if enacted would almost certainly make it impossible for America to pay for Medicare within another 15 years — I feel these readers might welcome a voice of sanity.
You might want to know something. I’m an honorably retired disabled veteran.
I’m world traveled.
I’ve been shot at by terrorists.
I know what the stakes are.
I’ve had troops that I would trust with the security of the US before I would trust Obama.
Thanks for your service candymarl.
I second that…
oh Hell yes about the troops!
Grab me any PFC out of formation. I would gamble their judgment over Bambi’s any old day!
I too am a VET so I APPROVE this MESSAGE!!!
The only non PUMAs here are idiotic bots like you- go back to evil orange where you phony progressives can solve the world’s problems by Selecting a phony democrat like empty corrupted suit Obama.
I’ve heard the argument from bots many times that they are here trolling for all of the people who are not PUMAS who are reading this blog. This argument is usually made to dispute our numbers and is often followed by “Obama’s gonna win anyway and I can’t wait to come back here on Nov 5th and laugh”…But they are fearful of PUMA influence because they admit that “others” are reading this blog. Well who do you think the “others” reading this blog that you are supposedly trying to reach are? Obama supporters? No! The Obamacamp and the DNC know that there are more Democrats who will not vote for Oblahma than even the number of official PUMAS who have regisitered online and who blog…that’s why they’re worried and that’s why they send bots here to try to discourage us by minimizing, marginalizing and dividing us. PUMAS stay strong!
the hospital because the Pentagon is in the bag for the GOP and told him, once his group was already in the air, that he couldn’t
Link please? What is this, excuse number seven?
He could have gone ALONE without the fanfare but that was not to his liking …. drop this one. You are losing. Americans know the real story. Even the liberal media apologists know he f*cked up on this one boychick.

Here, I’ll give you the first few paragraphs:
McCain Charge Against Obama Lacks Evidence
By Michael D. Shear and Dan Balz
Washington Post Staff Writers
Wednesday, July 30, 2008; Page A01
For four days, Sen. John McCain and his allies have accused Sen. Barack Obama of snubbing wounded soldiers by canceling a visit to a military hospital because he could not take reporters with him, despite no evidence that the charge is true.
The attacks are part of a newly aggressive McCain operation whose aim is to portray the Democratic presidential candidate as a craven politician more interested in his image than in ailing soldiers, a senior McCain adviser said. They come despite repeated pledges by the Republican that he will never question his rival’s patriotism.
The essence of McCain’s allegation is that Obama planned to take a media entourage, including television cameras, to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany during his week-long foreign trip, and that he canceled the visit when he learned he could not do so. “I know that, according to reports, that he wanted to bring media people and cameras and his campaign staffers,” McCain said Monday night on CNN’s “Larry King Live.”
The Obama campaign has denied that was the reason he called off the visit. In fact, there is no evidence that he planned to take anyone to the American hospital other than a military adviser, whose status as a campaign staff member sparked last-minute concern among Pentagon officials that the visit would be an improper political event.”
Did you read the whole article batshit brains?
Gration is a member of his CAMPAING STAFF and only SENATE STAFF can accompany … do you get it? NO SENATE STAFF accompanied … HE WOULDN’T GO BY HIMSELF!!!!!!!
I see. The fact that he was planning to take one military advisor with him on a trip to a military hospital, and the Pentagon raised this horseshit objection (which they’ve never raised with McCain) therefore means that Obama was only interested in publicity?
You’re full of shit, Beebop. But that isn’t news. You will all take any ridiculous opportunity to impugne Obama’s integrity, patriotism, whatever.
Can you name a CAMPAIGN advisor that John McCain wanted to take to a military hospital? NAME that person and I will concede this point. YOU CAN’T …. go back and look at every statement released by the Pentagon and also take a look at this
On Monday, Obama Communications Director Robert Gibbs said the campaign decided not to go to Landstuhl because Pentagon officials said it would be a political event, though the officials did not tell them not to visit.
http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/07/28/mccain-campaign-continues-to-criticize-obama-over-scratched-european-troop-visit/
Maybe the campaigns left and right hands should meet and get THEIR FREAKING STORES STRAIGHT!!!!! Especially before they send out their paid trolls to spread garbage and LIES.
And as for You will all take any ridiculous opportunity to impugne Obama’s integrity, patriotism, whatever:
I am still waiting for EXAMPLES of integrity, patriotism and DECENCY … axxhole.
I’m still waiting for the AUTHENTIC…Birth Certificate…Pass Ports
Where are your papers BARRY…huh?
Obama’s “integrity, patriotism, whatever.”
That’s a good one! Obama and integrity in the same sentence.
Yep, I couldn’t ever say that sentence with a straight face…ever!
If that’s true then why didn’t he go? If he planned to take no other people and McCain is lying then he could have gone to Ramstein and Landstuhl, I’ve been to both.
He could have left the military campaign adviser behind and gone with the base PA people and visited the troops.
I’ve seen these dog and pony shows before. If you’re a sitting Senator no base official is going to prohibit you from visiting troops within Pentagon guidelines. They will provide the escorts and personnel if necessary.
BO lacks conviction.
boy have you got shit for brains. the media is in the tank for obama and are trying desperately to paint obama as a victim.
hey, obama can’t defend himself, just like Kerry. That is not a man I want in the whitehouse.
you are really an idiot and expose yourself time and time again! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok , let me explain that a friend’s sister in law sent her this email and it was from that ladys uncle.
Rec’d July 23, 2008:
I don’t know each of your personal political convictions, and apologize if anyone finds this offensive. I thought it was important enough to share.
This is Jeff’s first hand view of Senator Obama.
Hello everyone,
As you know I am not a very political person. I just wanted to pass along that Senator Obama came to Bagram Afghanistan for about an hour on his visit to ‘The War Zone’.
I wanted to share with you what happened.
He got off the plane and got into a bullet proof vehicle, got to the area to meet with the Major General (2 Star) who is the commander here at
Bagram.
As the Soldiers where lined up to shake his hand he blew them off and didn’t say a word as he went into the conference room to meet the General.
As he finished, the vehicles took him to the ClamShell (pretty much a big top tent that military personnel can play basketball or work out in with weights) so he could take his publicity pictures playing basketball.
He again shunned the opportunity to talk to Soldiers to thank them for their service.
So really he was just here to make a showing for the American’s back home that he is their candidate for President. I think that if you are going to make an effort to come all the way over here you would thank those that are providing the freedom that they are providing for you.
I swear we got more thanks from the NBA Basketball Players or the Dallas Cowboy Cheer leaders than from one of the Senators, who wants to be the President of the United States .
I just don’t understand how anyone would
want him to be our Commander-and-Chief. It was almost that he was scared to be around those that provide the freedom for him and our great country.
If this is blunt and to the point I am sorry but I wanted you all to know what kind of caliber of person he really is. What you see in the news is all fake.
In service,
again, no response to Rev, Wright and his hate church. No way I’ll ever vote for Obama.
~”Obama didn’t visit the hospital because the Pentagon is in the bag for the GOP and told him, once his group was already in the air, that he couldn’t.”~
So just why did a U. S. Senator dash around the world to meet-n-greet any country’s leaders who would meet with him with campaign staff rather than his Senate staff?
Here he is, according to himself, “seriously” (and very possibly illegally according to the Logan Act) discussing the policies of the U.S. as a Senator, again according to him, so he brings his campaign staff whose expertise is getting him elected in November? That’s like bringing meat to a vegetarian party! It’s not only insulting but downright dishonest about your intentions.
There is a very old saying that seems to apply to every Obama disciple that I’ve met in person or online: “Don’t bother me with facts; my mind is made up.” In the end those people end up with only “me, myself and I” for company and I can’t wait for the royal WE Obamas to join that crowd.
bullshit, plain and simple. you can’t say the media is in the bag for the GOP with the fawning attention on Obama. when the press looks the other way.
I think you should leave here as you sound scared, pissed off, and just worried that barky will lose. you have good reason to be. your arguments are not winners here, you are whining.
I love the smell of desperation in the morning, your fear is palpable. but the stink of your diapers is trying to mask your fear. ah yes, you are shitting in your pants. keep commenting, it becomes more clear with every comment.
anchovy.
Obama didn’t visit the hospital because the Pentagon is in the bag for the GOP
BullSHIT!~
BO is a sitting US Senator. Quit Frakking blaming someone else for your igit’s indifferent and immoral behavior. Farkkin grow up!
And you say your reason are rational? HO HO HO
If it was important to BO for anything other than a political Photo op, He would have gone and paid with his own dam money.
I agree. That was bullshit. It was a desperation play if there ever was one. Nothing stopped BOBO from visiting wounded solders in Germany.
Hmmmm…..But INDICATIVE of Dear Leaders methods…Must be front and center at the Indoctrination Centers for his…TYPICAL…Fascists
workingclass artist;
to the degree that hospitals can make one very ill at ease, I have some empathy, but the men and women serving and sacrificing DESERVE or deepest respect. BO Dis’ed ‘em.
To me what BO did was prove, once again, he is a heartless $%^&*&^.
I agree with you wodie. BO is just too inexperienced and scary. It happens to be a very big deal to me that BO sat in that racist church for 20 years and expects people to believe he doesn’t feel the same as Wright.
I wanted Hillary. I’ll gamble with McCain. I won’t vote BO the racist. Hillary can run again in 2012 and win, after the stupid DNC learns it’s stupid lesson.
Why did moveon abandon us?? I was with them as far as no blood for oil. Everyone hates Bush for starting this BS war and bankrupting America.
Kucinich is making another attempt to impeach. I hope he achieves his goal…..

Never happen. Pelosi won’t allow it. She’s said so.
Pelosi says she is going to save the planet by not letting an energy bill come to the floor. Personally, I think she’s a space cadet. I think congress should not be able to go on vacation until they pass an energy bill. Maybe that’s too much to ask that they actually earn their pay. But if they can’t do what they were hired to do, we should fire them. They could then have a permanent vacation.
She also just released her new book.
‘Know Your Power: A message to America’s Daughters.’
Become a Queen bee and grab every opportunity to stab
