What would President Palin be like?

October 16th, 2008 · No Comments

Imagine the worst of the worst – John McCain wins the election then dies. We would have to deal with a President Palin!

Is Bush better at picking than McCain?

October 14th, 2008 · No Comments

Ive bashed McCain for his pick of Sarah Palin, and rightly so. But Bush picked Dick Cheney, aka Darth Vader, who trampled the Constitution from an undisclosed location. Of course, you should have seen his picks when he was owner of the Texas Rangers.

Take a look:

Tell Sarah what to say!

October 11th, 2008 · No Comments

Since everyone else tells Sarah Palin what to say, you can do the same. Go to http://pa.lindro.me/ and create your own Sarah Palin speech, using “maverick” and “thanks but no thanks” as much as you want. Of course, others have posted their own Palin speeches, using “drill baby drill” and “hockey moms” liberally.

Sarah Palin’s Greatest Hits

September 30th, 2008 · 1 Comment

There has been a lot posted about Sarah Palin, but if anybody still thinks of voting for John McCain after her interviews, it’s not enough. It is painfully obvious that Ms. Palin is not even remotely qualified to be vice-president. Even conservative columnists admit that.

Yet John McCain, a 72-year-old man who has had cancer, loves his country so much that he entrusts the nation to someone so not ready to be president. Our current president chose a flaming a-hole to run defense and an incompetent to run FEMA. Imagine what a McCain presidency would bring based on this, his most important appointment.

To hammer the point home, I bring you Sarah Palin’s greatest hits:

The Katie Couric interview:

Here is how Sarah Palin would handle foreign affairs:

And should John McCain get elected and die in office? It would make a really bad Disney move:

At least he’s not from Florida

September 25th, 2008 · No Comments

This Louisiana state legislator is showing the upmost of Republican gall, suggesting to sterlize women who are on welfare. But he’s not interested in population control per se, or the rest of the general population.

No, John LeBruzzo wants to sterilize women on welfare to save tax dollars. And what will he do with those tax savings? Give it as tax incentives to people with large families.

As one of his counterparts in the legislature said, “It’s one of the dumbest ideas I’ve ever heard.”

Now LeBruzzo says that he is not a racist, although he says the current way helps the Democrats more voters. Of course, that’s the only reason why Democrats are against his proposal. It’s not ethical concerns or the fact that he’s suggesting something similar to the Nazis’ “Final Solution.”

“Racist – that’s an easy stone to throw,” he said.

If someone is throwing racism as a stone, LeBruzzo is providing the broad side of the barn to hit.

I can’t let go either

September 21st, 2008 · No Comments

I don’t know, but lately I have been playing a lot of songs about women who can’t give up their bad men. Here is one of the best of that genre, Lucinda Williams singing a fabulous blues song “Can’t Let Go.”

So Bob, what do you think of McCain’s VP pick?

September 1st, 2008 · No Comments

Well, she’s good-looking – easier on the eyes than Biden. And there is something about a woman who can catch a salmon, shoot a moose, and cook both for dinner.

But ready to be President? I’m not sure.

Zooey can sing!

August 31st, 2008 · No Comments

Some of you may know Zooey Deschanel from various movies (Elf, Bridge to Tarabithia, Failure to Launch), but lately she has turned her attention to music. She did sing Christmas carols in Elf, but her latest material with She and Him is impressive.

Not only that, she is pretty darn cute!

Check out the video from She and Him’s first album, Volume One: “Why Don’t You Let Me Stay Here.”
