According to this web site, Bush and McCain are basically the same dude because of some astrological explanation that sounds like bullshit.  Yes, they’re “sharing Neptune”, which sounds remarkably romantic.

No matter who or what they secretly pledge allegiance to, we can be quite certain they each consider it to be high above a US Constitution which they seem intent on dissolving rather than protecting, upholding, or defending…and ‘dissolution’ is another of Neptune’s favorite words relating to its most basic function…the urge to wash away.

Fuck me running - another Cindy McCain recipe scandal. They just can’t help themselves:

Hillary had cookie issues, but at least she used her own recipe.

Yes, I’m home working so I have the DNC meeting on, and yes, my life really is that bleak.

So far - Ickes stalked out after Congressman Wechsler called him on his shit.  The guy in the middle of the photo is FDR’s grandson.  Carl Levin is up now.  And no one has moved away from the abyss.  All hail President McSame!

So this is what being poor tastes like.

Barry-O drank a beer tonight. This wasn’t just any beer; it was Pabst Blue Ribbon. Pabst Blue Ribbon is like elitist kryptonite (unless, of course, Barry is now a hipster). I predict that this beer alone will change how everyone perceives everything. Hillary will only be able to out working-class this feat by drinking moonshine mixed with Valvoline mixed with the tears of Toby Keith. She will drink it from a plastic Hardee’s cup and then she will eat a Jalapeno Thickburger in one bite.

I think that the girl in the lower right is holding Obama’s real beer, waiting until the cameras leave so he can bring his night home with a glass of Hefeweizen and a reading of Proust. Ah, for the life of a closeted wimp.

Next week, Barry will prove he’s not black by eating mayonnaise and playing hockey.

Once again, the Confused Old Man™ demonstrates that he doesn’t know jack shit about the economy:

To help people weather the downturn immediately, McCain was calling for Congress to institute a “gas-tax holiday” by suspending the 18.4 cent federal gas tax and 24.4 cent diesel tax from Memorial Day to Labor Day. He also renewed his call for the United States to stop adding to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and thus lessen to some extent the worldwide demand for oil.

Combined, he said, the two proposals would reduce gas prices, which would have a trickle-down effect and “help to spread relief across the American economy.”

Does McCain really think that the Exxon/Mobils of the world won’t just raise prices to pretty much where they were? Does McCain really think that retailers, already hurt by the economic crisis, won’t try to make some money?

And if it actually works? It encourages more driving and more consumption … and the price will go up! Way to go fuckwit.

Apparently the Psychogeezer doesn’t plan to torture you if you’re an American citizen, so best have your passport on you should he win in the fall.

Today, during the question- and-answer period of Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) address to the Associated Press, a journalist asked McCain about torturing terrorism detainees, saying “Don’t we stand for something better?” McCain seemed to get confused, talking instead about his opposition to the torture of Americans:

I’ve made it very clear, I’ve made it very clear in my statements and in my support of the Detainee Treatment Act, the Geneva Conventions, etc., that there may be some additional techniques to be used, but none of those would violate the Geneva Conventions, the Detainee Treatment Act…And we cannot ever, in my view, torture any American, that includes waterboarding.

More good news after the jump.

Did you know Elton John was giving a concert for Hillary in New York? I expect they’ll both be wearing their yellow pantsuits. This just solidifies everybody’s impression that Hillary can only get votes from old white women. The concert will be at Radio City Music Hall on Apr. 7, and I’m sure Elton will be playing his heart out for Hillary even though they both should have thrown in the towel a long time ago. It’s a good thing she’s also had performances by hipper up and comers like Billy Crystal.

One lucky winner, and the big donors, will get to attend an afterparty with Sir Elton and Hillary, where I expect they’ll duet on Crocodile Rock before Elton snorts some coke off of Bill’s breasts and they all have a good cry about Lady Di’s death.

MSM outlets were fronting explanations yesterday evening that three U.S. State Department functionaries were scanning Sen. Barrack Obama’s passport travel records out of “imprudent curiosity,” a lurid misrepresentation of what is likely part of a much more expansive plot, given the criminal abuse of power exhibited by the outlaw Bush Administration in the last eight years. Though there’s no discounting the perfidies that the bloody-eyed ruthlessness of the Hillary “Vote Experience - Vote McCain!” Clinton campaign could inspire. Let’s scan the record of the Boy Fuhrer’s administration first, before we reveal a stunning correlation made by commentator SanFranciscoLefty about Hilbot 9000’s motivations: Read the rest of this entry »

This happened a couple days ago, but how often does Sinbad, the least edgy black comedian this side of Bill Cosby, get to play a role in election coverage?

Sinbad, along with singer Sheryl Crow, was on that 1996 trip to Bosnia that Clinton has described as a harrowing international experience that makes her tested and ready to answer a 3 a.m. phone call at the White House on day one, a claim for which she’s taking much grief on the campaign trail.

Harrowing? Not that Sinbad recalls. He just remembers it being a USO tour to buck up the troops amid a much worse situation than he had imagined between the Bosnians and Serbs.

In an interview with the Sleuth Monday, he said the “scariest” part of the trip was wondering where he’d eat next. “I think the only ‘red-phone’ moment was: ‘Do we eat here or at the next place.’”

Zing! He’s got a whole bit prepared! More after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »
