For those in the US; (fuck you ‘but it affects the whole world!’ assholes. It matters but not THAT much. Your country chooses to be as effected as they are) we have the ultimate milquetoast battle coming up in November when Barack Obama (D) will take on John McCain (R) for the White House.
Is anyone really shocked by the choices? The guy who will be steamrolled into submission by Congress into doing what they want regardless of which party is in control (Obama) against the guy who is basically the definition of a moderate but probably won’t get his way very much.
Whoever wins, I’m calling a single term presidency. McCain because he is so goddamn old that I don’t know if he could last 2 terms and Obama because when he is off his cue cards he jams his foot in his mouth HARD; like worse than I’ve ever seen any major political candidate jam his foot in his mouth; yes even far worse than George W. Bush (who’da thunk that’d be possible?).
My friends, I tend to stay away from political endorsements as they always seemed a bit tacky to me.
Beyond that, it would kinda scare me if someone was taking advice from me (or any blog, paper etc columnist) about who they should vote for rather than examination of the facts and platforms presented by each candidate.
However, I now must implore you to vote for John McCain if Ms. Sarandon promises to keep her word as given to Liz Smith of the NY POST:
She says if John McCain gets elected, she will move to Italy or Canada. She adds, “It’s a critical time, but I have faith in the American people.”…What? You thought Susan of all people would be for Hillary Clinton? Well, no. She told John Hiscock: “I thought the whole point of feminism is that you’re not supposed to be defined by gender. I don’t understand the reasoning behind that, because I wouldn’t vote for Condoleezza Rice, and I hated Margaret Thatcher.”
Oddly enough, I do agree with her on the feminism thing. However, this whole ridiculous shit about ‘I swears I’ll move if candidate x of political party z is elected’ shit is getting old.
I enjoyed the first one so much I figured I’d toss in this classy gem of Hilary Clinton downing whiskey shots.
I have no delusions that politicians don’t drink, but c’mon. Downing whiskey shots to prove how ‘normal’ you are? Give it a fucking rest and decide on a platform before doing all this bullshit pandering, hil-dawg.
Listen, I don’t disagree that Tibet has been given the royal fuck job by the Chinese. However, I think if you are going to protest something you should at least know what the fuck you are talking about. Every idiot in this video had NO IDEA where Tibet was and the guy was only showing them a map of the general area of China!!
Sadly, this kind of shit is FAR too common in California and San Francisco in particular since we have possibly the largest population of trust fund babies in the US living here who have no job and nor career to occupy their time with so they’ll basically ‘rage’ against whatever you tell them they should.
Everyone of these morons should be embarrassed to have been seen on camera especially that “I’m a farmer, I’m and inciter’ douchebag.
Figured this would go well with the story below about Heidi Montag and John McCain (i’m not linking to it since it’s directly below this post ya lazy fuck)
Not to say that Lauren Conrad is necessarily wrong to take a stand on Darfur, but you can kinda hear the gears grinding to a halt in her head as she tries to remember all those facts and figures.
Heidi Montag reveled that she is supporting McCain’s bid for the White House the other day, which I’m sure you’ve all heard about and I didn’t post since it’s not all that surprising/interesting that someone from Colorado is voting for a moderate Republican. (that wasn’t meant as a slam-FYI)
McCain appeared on MSNBC yesterday morning and on several occasions referred to her as a ‘talented actress.’
Now he knows, the show is phoney, why don’t the 10 million teens who tune in know the same thing?
Oooo! Controversy! I know I normally steer clear of the politics on this blog but what the hell this is actually a big story (more so in Europe, but I get a lot of traffic from Europe so…).
There has been a HUGE uproar in Europe (Holland in particular that has an ever growing Muslim population) over the release of this film by Geert Wilders.
Most claim that it would promote xenophobia or violence etc.
I dunno. It just pulls a bunch of quotes from the Koran and plays speeches made by Muslim religious leaders and plays some news footage. No narration, no commentary until the end. It pretty much is left to you to decide what you will.
Check it out after the break and see what you think. BIG WARNING: there are some REALLY graphic shots of dead bodies and limbless people. You have been warned… Continue reading ‘viral spiral: ‘fitna’ the movie’
If you needed further proof that being famous and/or politically connected is 90% being born into the right family and not talent/ability, check out this article from E! about the bloodlines Brangelina share with the democratic candidates.
Here’s a taste of ‘regular man’ Obama’s family connections:
Obama, on the other hand, shares his ancestry with six U.S. presidents, including current commander in chief, George W. Bush, and his father, George H.W. Bush.
Other far-reaching Obama relations include Gerald Ford, Lyndon Johnson, Harry S. Truman and James Madison, as well as Vice President Dick Cheney and Sir Winston Churchill.
So if you don’t have famous people in your family, you may as well get used to pushing pens for a living now, Chief because the world is an incestuous place.
