Alaska–It’s Like The Road Warrior With Snow!
September 23, 2008
First, I watched Bill Clinton on Dave last night and I thought he was pretty good. Wait, be honest. I watched it and thought “Damn, he’s good.” He talked over Dave’s (and my) head about the financial crisis and he was just…well, there’s no one better. He’s smart. He can talk, and talk, and talk, about this stuff for a lot longer than the short time allotted, that much is apparent. I would, indeed, vote for him again in a second, if it was at all possible. He is light years ahead of every other politician, except for, maybe, Barack Obama; in that case he is only about eight or nine years ahead. With good reason.
Second, yes, he struggled to even mention Obama’s name while championing Hillary and her many ideas numerous times. It was obvious. And so when Chris Rock came out after him and sat down with Dave, he was flat-out hilarious and dead-on. Watch that vid, it’s great. So, what can you do? Clinton is a biased observer. He should get over it and come out strongly for Obama, and I suspect that he will eventually. But Chris Rock handed it to him nicely. Hilarious Palin jokes.
Speaking of the Vice-Presidential Gimmick, here’s The Twelve Lies of Sarah Palin. Twelve basic, proven lies that we know for sure she has told (there’s still so much more to learn about her!). It’s kind of like Christmas, without all the joy.
UPDATE:
Just one further thought: why is it that Dave Letterman, and to a lesser extent the women of The View, have presided over the most interesting, informative, and substantive interviews of this election season? It’s not that hard to ask questions of relevance now, is it?
UPDATE II:
That other great interviewer, Jon Stewart, had Bill Clinton on last night (I haven’t forgotten about Charlie Rose, but he hasn’t had these people on lately!). You be the judge. Once again, I could listen to these guys talk all night. You will never hear any Bush, or Cheney, or Dole or any other Republican sit and speak like this. By that I mean, intelligently, or with humor, or with anything resembling coherency. That’s because the real elitists sit in that party and have no idea how to have this conversation.

Each week for the last, oh I don’t know, 6 months or so, my inbox is flooded with wonderful right winged propaganda from, I’m embarrassed to say, my father. I love him, but I just have roll my eyes and giggle most of time and wonder if he actually believes even half the stuff he forwards me or if he thinks it will actually have any kind of effect on how I’m voting this year. Well, here’s one of the lastest ones. They’re getting more desparate and pathetic each week. Enjoy:
Fw: Biden Stepping Down?
I DON’T KNOW IF THERE IS ANY TRUTH TO THIS—-BUT, IF THERE IS, AND WITH BILL’S ” BATTING AVERAGE (REPORTEDLY) POOR OLE OBAMA IS GOING TO GET A BULLET IN THE HEAD WHILE CLEANING HIS GUN–OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, AND PRETTY QUICKLY AFTER THE ELECTION, SHOULD HE WIN, –AND TWO CLINTIONITES RULE AGAIN.
Subject: Biden stepping down
Let me share some info with you that I have gotten from excellent sources within the DNC:
On or about October 5th, Biden will excuse himself from the ticket, citing health problems, and he will be replaced by Hillary. This is timed to occur after the VP debate on 10/2.
There have been talks all weekend about how to proceed with this info. generally, the feeling is that we should all go ahead and get it out there to as many blog sites and personal email lists as is possible. I have already seen a few short blurbs about this – the “health problem” cited in those articles was aneurysm. Probably many of you have heard the same rumblings.
However, at this point, with this inside info from the DNC, it looks like this Obama strategy will be a go. Therefore, it seems that the best strategy is to get out in front of this Obama maneuver, spell it out in detail, and thereby expose it for the grand manipulation that it is.
So, let’s start mixing this one up and cut the Obamites off at the pass – send this info out to as many people as you can – post about it on websites and blogs – etc etc

ha ha! that’s some wacked out shit! then again, i heard from some very good sources in the RNC that Palin is going to have McCain wacked, assume the presidency with her husband and force all Americans to become snowmachine racers.
i can tell you that i NEVER get anything like this from my family, friends, or anyone i know, most of whom are liberal.
of course, reality has a well-known liberal bias.

Please watch these:

I did not see Clinton’s interview, but I certainly don’t fully trust his take on this financial crisis!!! Last week Lady Rothschild switched her support from Hillary to McCain Palin and she is part of the International Banking community that controls the currency….her reason for switching her support? Obama is out of touch with the common man. The real reason? No Clinton support for continuing the Fed and it’s corrupt hold on our economy and thus, the support HAD to go to McCain….

Ok…I will add one other comment….he may be able to explain what else went wrong excluding the ILLS of the FED and why a bailout to these banking institutions are a total sham (I heard him explain subprime mortgages and interest only loans correctly though)….so I won’t poo poo his intelligence or anything on that account….. For now my quicktime is acting wonky so I can’t watch this until I get home!
Hope married life is treating you well!

OMG! God help us all if McCain and Palin actually pull this one off!
This is my latest blog on the Obama website.. why is no one following the money trail?
McCain’s Corporate Piranhas Eat America Alive!
I recently learned that Senator McCain is ready to feed us to the Elite of Corporate American for a measly $50,000. WOW! Is that really all we are worth? I mean was that the highest bidder for the soul of America? See below:
“On the floor of the United States Senate, John McCain spoke out against these offshore tax breaks not long ago. Then while he was in Bermuda, according to the Bermuda World Gazette … he started singing a very, very different tune,” Biden saidParaphrasing the newspaper account, Biden said McCain promised a group of insurance industry executives and lobbyists he would block efforts to close the loophole. In appreciation, Biden said, the industry gave McCain’s campaign about $50,000.â€?
I am truly saddened that someone I thought to be a true American Patriot is really a Piranha, ready to suck the life out of our great country, for a few dollars.
We need more than change and God help us all! Barack, please turn this ship around… although I fear it’s too late!
