The people in this video are just plain stupid and their behavior sickening. That McCain and Palin are fostering the notion that Obama is a terrorist is absolutely despicable. That they do not publicly condemn this is deplorable and they should be ashamed of themselves.

Thanks in a large part to the current republican administration, our Country’s economy is falling apart. And this is what McCain decides to concentrate on? Inciting a mob like this shows lack of character, horrible judgement and is just plain dangerous. For God’s sake man, show a little class…

I’ve been trying (and yet failing) to ignore the current political fracas that inevitably culminates into a 50+ kurik turd that is finally ceremoniously flushed on Tuesday, Nov 4th. Although both candidates are guilty of scat slinging, I feel McCain is sinking to new lows and as such, wins the scat muncher award for being the douchiest douche. Congratulations.

Whatever. The long and the short of it is, the republicans have had their day. 2920 days in fact (give or take about 27% of that in vacation time). If you think this country is doing fine, I suggest you get out more but feel free to stay home the first Tuesday of November.

I will say this… if the Demecrats, once in office, screw up as badly as Bush has, fine. I promise to vote for the next republican shepherd. No really, I will. But y’all have had your time and screwed the pooch in impressive ways. Please sit down, you’re turn is over.

Next…

I am totally voting for Hillary! Not only is she the best Republican candidate since Regan, but she’s also proven to be willing to fight the meaningful fights. I’ve enjoyed our current administrations grasp on reality and feel that Hillary shows the most promise for hitting that ground running. I enjoy the fact that she doesn’t spend most of her time discussing governmental issues, but rather discussing her issues with her opponents. I think this gives us a glimpse at the decision-making, character and class she has shown in the past, and what we could expect more of in the future.

Hillary ‘08!

Dear Ohio,

Are you f’ing stupid? Sorry… I mean hi… Ohio. In your quest to be the California of the Midwest, you’ve donned your wool pantsuits proudly and voted for two republicans. Congratulations!

[FLASHBACK FADE OUT]
In a previous life, I was just finishing up a record and was told I needed to affiliate with either BMI or ASCAP. I decided to meet with both factions and decide which was best. BMI talked about how they promote their artists and how they might help my career. ASCAP talked about what a bunch of dicks BMI were. MORAL: Apparently 54% of Ohio musicians are affiliated with ASCAP.

Eight years ago I was fine with people voting for whomever they like… but eight years ago, I still though most of the country were sane and semi-intelligent folks that would never vote for Bush… especially TWICE! And in a pre-post-Bush America, I can no longer blindly turn the other cheek… and so, to my Midwest brethren, I say UP YOURS OHIO! Please take Cleveland and shove it up your buckeye! You are now dead to us and officially part of the Mideast.

Seriously though… who votes for someone who would use a picture of a dude in a turban and/or the red phone as props to further their cause? Who wants that kind of experience?

I have been at least 90% sure I would vote for my fellow FIB in the coming Wisconsin Presidential Primary. I was really just waiting to see how he’d react to the campaign process… would he go super negative? Would he crack up? As it turns out, Barack Obama has proven to me, that he’s sincere in his word and therefore deserving of my vote.

Side-note: It was while watching back-to-back speeches from the candidate’s “wives” on CSPAN the other day, when I realized Barack will go the distance and be our next President. Here was Michelle Obama going up against former President Bill Clinton… no easy task. She totally kicked his ass (badly)! It must be nice to have a wife that’s a better orator than Slick Willie. Though in Bill’s defense, speeches are much easier to present when they’re full of truths, rather than veiled attacks.

And lastly, being that Barack is only a few years older than myself, I am of the mind that it is my generation’s turn to fuck up the country! The rest of you have either had your chance or can wait for it.

Perhaps it takes that shining beacon of truth, that we call comedy, to cast it's omnipotent light into the dark, dank nether regions of our current administration, before it's sheep-like followers might dare conjure even a hint of doubt and take an honest glance inward. With that in mind, I give you... the Bush Administration in CliffsNotes form.

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales was forced to speak to the turned backs of many of his audience members today at Georgetown University Law School. The speech was an attempt to justify the Bush administration’s domestic surveillance of US citizens.

C-Span, thankfully, is still offering their interview with Jon Stewart. This is not only a must-see but a must-see over and over again. In fact, I demand you watch this at least once a year (and it’s been over a year now since it aired). Oh, and feel free to wash it down with the NPR interview as well. Helps the digestion.

C-span is offering a fascinating interview with former President Jimmy Carter where he discusses his new book, Our Endangered Values : America’s Moral Crisis (also available as an audio book).
