Moonage Political Webdream

Thursday night John McCain gave a rousing speech, finishing it off with a call to fight.  His urge was barely audible over the wildly cheering crowd:

Apparently excited that they finally had a candidate that felt their pain, several hundred anarchists promptly got arrested chanting “F**k the police!”.
OK, hands up here, how many people ever thought [...]

In the past, and sometimes nowadays, I have pretty much tired of political parties.  We’re in the 21st century.  The tool necessary to get the word out in the 18th century just isn’t necessary anymore.  Never has party unity and loyalty been any more muddled than this year.

Last night, longtime Democrat, and one-tome Democrat VP [...]

Due to not really being terribly glued to the tv over this election, I gotta admit I have been fairly clueless to guessing VP picks.  The media throws so many names out so fast, then criticizes the names they threw out themselves, and then writes off the names they threw out themselves.  So, the whole [...]

Received this via email.  It’s so true in so many ways:
A biker is riding his Harley by the zoo, when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion’s cage.  Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.
The biker jumps [...]

Barack Obama’s having a rough week.
First, he did the very odd thing of stating very publicly he liked President Bush’s Faith Based Initiative so much he wanted to expand it.  That drew the ire of the Reverend Jesse Jackson:
“See, Barack’s been talking down to black people on this faith-based—,” Jackson says during a break in [...]

According to Congressional Quarterly, the House is on its way to passing an Alternative Minimum Tax patch to keep things the way they are right now.  Apparently the Republicans, who initially raised the limits, support it, the Democrats want those exemptions gone.  That’s good news to me.  According to the Democrats over the last few [...]

I LOVE this!
The Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting is proposing a $300 million government prize to whomever can develop an automobile battery that far surpasses existing technology.
The bounty would equate to $1 for every man, woman and child in the country, “a small price to pay for helping to break the back of our oil dependency,” McCain [...]

Republican leadership decided that since so many people are making fun of the over-abuse of the word “change” in this year’s elections, they’d go with a new slogan themselves.  So, not to be outdone by the Dems, they rolled out “Change You Deserve!”  The Dems were quick to point out that the makers of Effexor [...]

“We’ve been down this road before. It’s the road that George Bush has taken for the last eight years,” Obama said.
And:
“The Bush economy is like a trap door — Too many people are one pink slip away, one missed mortgage payment away, one medical diagnosis away from falling through and losing everything,” Clinton said Thursday [...]

Man, there is nothing more I’d love to see this fall than a McCain/Rice ticket.  Talk about ending this race mucho prompto?  Think ahout it.

Condi would, to say the least, neuter the race issue that so far is exclusive domain of Obama.  It’s there, for sure, and will be a factor in November.  However, Hillary [...]
