McCain's Campaign Gimmicks: Sarah The Moosehunter & Joe The Plumber

I know the election isn't over yet but the writing is on the wall. Come Wednesday morning the pundits will be filling the airwaves to discuss what went wrong with the McCain campaign. There are many reason for what looks to be a McCain lost but I think the real reason is the Sarah Palin and Joe the Plumber gimmicks.

I read an article by Johnny Sisk writing at the Huffington Post, and he explained the whole John McCain campaign fiasco like this:

If you're looking for what's gone wrong with John McCain's bid for the White House, look no further than Joe the Plumber.

Like his selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate, McCain's schoolgirl crush on Joe the Plumber has illustrated how badly the Republican candidate has misjudged the American electorate and mismanaged his campaign. In both cases, he enlisted uneducated rubes to campaign for him, hoping that these backwoods bumpkins could connect with and energize his red state supporters where he couldn't himself. And in both cases, his plan has backfired in horribly entertaining ways.

Damn! I couldn't have said that shit any better myself. But he's not finish he continues to lay it on McCain and his misreading of the American public:

By tapping a moose-hunting, God-fearing, pro-life hockey mom as his running mate, McCain (a man who prides himself on his "strategy" expertise) made the biggest strategic mistake of the campaign. He turned an election that had been a referendum on Obama's lack of leadership experience into a referendum on his own decision-making ability. McCain gambled with his VP pick, doubling down on a woman he thought could carry him to the White House by barking moronic drivel about lipstick on pit bulls.

The problem, of course, is that behind Palin's ignorant, uneducated, off-putting, and often hate-filled sarcasm - putting down community organizers? - was a woman who demonstrated a stunning lack of knowledge on everything from Bush foreign policy and Supreme Court rulings to a basic understanding of the Constitution. She claimed that she was the first line of defense from a Russian attack on Alaska and that the Vice President is in charge of the Senate. In other words, after two months of interviewing for the job, she still didn't know what the job was.

And he don't stop there, he goes on to serve up McCain even more by pointing out McCain poor judgement and taking the American public for granted with the duo of Palin and Joe the Plumber:

But the fact that McCain was willing to place our country in the hands of a woman whom he had met only once isn't what angers me most. It's that he put his candidacy ahead of his country. Country first? Hardly. Candidacy first.

***

Unfortunately, McCain has badly underestimated the intelligence of the American voting public. Certainly, in some parts of the country, this strategy has worked. But more often than not, it's led to the divisive cultural skirmishes that have marred his ineffective campaign. Two weeks ago, this strategy was evident in Palin's now infamous "real America" remarks. And this week, it's Joe the Plumber.

***

Just like Sarah the Pageant Queen, Joe the Plumber is yet another symbol of "real America" John McCain has trotted out and put on display, in hopes of convincing his red state friends that he is, indeed, one of them. After all, Joe's just like you! He's a hard working plumber who doesn't know the first thing about global economics or foreign affairs. McCain would be crazy not to give this man the mic.

After losing his party's nomination to a dim-witted moron eight years ago, why has McCain allowed two more dim-witted morons to appear at his rallies, field questions from voters, and speak on his behalf? I guess if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

Poor McCain the jig is up, your gimmick isn't working this time around. I think McCain should have just been himself and argued his case to the American people and not insult us like he has:

There can only be one reason he would lower himself to this sort of gimmicky schtick -- because he thinks it's the only way he can win. Incapable of doing it himself, he's asked two fear-mongering idiots to light a fire under the collective, bulbous ass of his fearful idiot base.

Palin, who's good at reading a teleprompter and not much else, has already been rumored for a talk show host job when this circus leaves town on Tuesday. And Joe the Plumber is reportedly working on a record deal. I hope John McCain is happy. He couldn't win the election. But he did help two people win the lottery.

Why Is Poverty And Poor People Ignored During Elections?

You notice both presidential campaigns are quick to talk about middle-income
working people and the middle class families but neither will discuss the
concerns of low-incoming working people and neither will dare utter the
word "Poverty".

The U.S. Department of Labor Statistic reports that one in eight Americans
lives in poverty, which is defined as an income less than $20,000 for a
family of four. Nearly 30 percent of households are low-income, which means
an income below $40,000 for a family of four. If you do the math, 90 million
Americans are considered low income or "lower-class" and 39 million of those
are living in poverty.

90 million people are a huge voting block, you would think candidates from
both party would be jumping through hoops to cater to that large number of
potential voters but they don't.

So why do politicians often mention the "middle class" rather than "the
middle and lower class." Would not they want to be more inclusive?

Once upon a time, Democrats presented themselves as champions of the poor,
but they continued to get trounced in presidential elections. Candidates
such as Walter Mondale and Michael Dukakis during the 1980s were depicted as
"liberal" and "out of touch." Many members of the middle class, especially
the upper-middle class, displayed a backlash against the lower class. Thus
came the emergence of the more conservative New Democrats, led by Bill
Clinton, who won in 1992 with his "forgotten middle class" theme.

Since then, the issues of poor people are pretty much left off the table.
Think about it. When was the last time we saw a candidate campaigning in a
ghetto?

Harvard University's Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public
Policy conducted the "Vanishing Voter Project." Among the findings: "The
decline in (voter) participation has been concentrated among Americans of
low income. Although a class bias in turnout has been a persistent feature
of U.S. elections, the gap has widened to a chasm. The voting rate among
those at the bottom of the income ladder is only half that of those at the
top."

In this 2 party political system we have in America, there are two ways to
get your issues into the national political dialog. 1) Contribute large
amounts of money - The Business Community, AIPAC, NRA, Upper Class Voters,
etc. 2) Be a large dedicated voting block - White Evangelicals, gun owners,
white middle class voters, etc.

Now lower class voters may not be able to donate too much money, but they
should at least be voting. If 50, 60, or 70 percent of lower class people
voted, and voted on economic issues rather than divisive social issues, they
may be able to get people in power that care about their issues. But if they
give up then you get people like Reagan, the Bushes, McCain who only care about
the rich and you get Democratic candidates who refuse to discuss your issues
for fear of scaring off a more dedicated group of voters.

McCain Says He Will "Test" Our Enemy

It seem the old warmongering McCain is at it again, talking about starting more wars. According to Swamppolitics:

"I'm gonna test them,'' Republican John McCain said at a campaign rally in New Mexico this morning. "They're not gonna test me.''

The comment followed McCain's warning that Democratic rival Barack Obama's camaign has "guaranteed'' people that the nation will face a test from enemies within months of Obama's election as president -- something that running mate Joe Biden asserted last weekend, Biden following that line with a remark that Obama has a "spine of steel'' for that test.

The McCain campaign has taken Biden's words, and put them in an ominous campaign TV ad warning that the younger, relatively inexperienced candidate for president will be tested by the nation's adversaries if he is elected. It doesn't have to happen, the McCain ad says

****
But today, McCain raised a new question that could escalate that sound-bite campaign war: Who is he "gonna test'' if elected president? And how?

"I have been tested,'' McCain said, with a certain gritted-teeth look at the state fairgrounds in New Mexico. "I'm gonna test them. They're not gonna test me.''.

A poster on Theygaveusarepublic describe this whole sorry McCain act perfectly:

I am not concerned about Obama's so-called lack of experience, and by the way, that is a stupid fucking argument, perpetuated by a desperate campaign and foisted on gullible morons. There is no training program for the presidency except the presidency. By that argument, the only person ever elected with experience was Grover Cleveland, and his second term isn't remembered as the halcyon days of American governance. Kennedy, on the other hand, who was similarly attacked, is fondly remembered for a steady hand and innate good governance, so STFU with the "experience" stalking horse already.

I am far more concerned about a warmongering old fool who sings "bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran," laughs that creepy laugh and makes blustering, chest-thumping comments about testing "them" than I am about a young and thoughtful man who has moved every piece perfectly in this electoral chess match.

Bluster like that is, quite frankly, terrifying when it comes from a congenital asshole like McCain who has a violent temper, untreated psychological issues, a Napoleon complex and no impulse control. Can't you see him banging his $500 Ferragamo loafer on a podium while threatening to annihilate opponents. And rejecting that sort of bellicosity is the kind of change we need.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Spike Lee: Hip Hop Changed American Politics, Race Relations

From Hiphopdx.com

With a body of work that includes Bamboozled, Jungle Fever and Do the Right Thing, Spike Lee has never been gun shy about voicing his opinion on race relations in America. When the Academy Award nominated director was asked about the "Bradley Effect" and how it relates to the upcoming presidential election, his candid answer gave credit to an unlikely source.

"I don't go with this Bradley Effect," Lee tells MSNBC's Joe Scarborough. "That was what, 1984? That's last century. America's made a seismic shift as far as race goes. These young white kids who grew up listening to Hip Hop don't have the same views that their parents and grandparents had. I think these polls aren't reaching these young white kids. There aren't enough African Americans in this country to get Obama elected. He took the Iowa caucus! There's two black people in Iowa...maybe three."
When the subject turned to Lee's beloved New York Knicks, he said he still held out hope of landing LeBron James as a free agent in 2010. Since Jay-Z has a minority stake in the team, there has been speculation that James will to join the Nets when they move to Brooklyn.

"LeBron told me himself, that his decision will not be based upon his friendship with 'Hova,'" says Lee. His hopes for James to join the Knicks come as an unnamed New Jersey Nets official, tells the Bergen Record that the current financial crunch is having adverse effects on the team's hopes of moving to Brooklyn.
"Bruce [Ratner] just won’t end up with the money to do it," the official said. "Forget it."

Spike Lee's latest directorial effort, Miracle At St. Anna, is in theaters now. Lee can also be found alongside Ludacris, 9th Wonder and Common on "Do the Right Thing" from Ludacris' upcoming album Theater of the Mind.

D.L. Hughley CNN Show .... An Embarrassment To Blacks?

You've probably heard by now that CNN gave comedian D.L. Hughley a show. The
show is titled "D.L. Hughley Breaks the News" and Hughley is suppose to
present the news with a comedic twist to it like The Daily Show with Jon
Stewart and the Colbert Report with Stephen Colbert on Comedy Central. Based
on the first episode which premiered on October 25, some black people do not
think it was funny at all as a matter of fact some blacks think it was an
embarrassment and a disgrace.

Before we go any further take look at a segment from the show and remember
this is a program on CNN not BET or Comedy Central:



Joe Madison, black talk show host on XM 169 the power had a discussion about the program on his show this morning and the listeners calling in basically said the new D.L. Hughley show is an insult to African Americans. Here is what Christopher J. Metzler at the Daily Voice had to say about the new Hughley show:

As the election draws to a close, one major cable news network decided to
discuss race in a mephitic way, reminiscent of "Amos and Andy", a situation
comedy based on reinforcing stereotypes about blacks and widely popular in
the United States from the 1920s through the 1950s.

The show's anchor warned that the election of a President Obama would lead
to a health plan with grills for all. Grills are shining metal caps worn on
the teeth of blacks while they drink malt liquor from a paper bag. His
guest, "Freddie Mack," attired in the traditional pimp attire complete with
hat and bling, described Obama's fund raising prowess as "Big pimping." In
fact, Freddie Mack went on to say, "Politicians are pimps and the electorate
are their hoes." Thus, he reasoned, "bitch better have my money." In a
response dripping with racism and misogyny, he reminded Americans that the
financial crisis was about his sister Fannie May or Fannie may not again,
utilizing the hoe moniker for black women.

The anchor also predicted that the election of a President Obama would
result in a meteor striking America. His expert guest assured him of two
things. The first is that such would not happen during an Obama
administration and that if it did, blacks would be protected because of the
complexion of our skin while whites would not. As if this was not enough,
the anchor conducted an interview in which a black maid of a Jewish woman
decried her years as a maid for that Jewish woman and warned that she would
"clean her clock" if the old Jewish woman did not vote for Obama. Of course,
besides portraying black women as violent, it also escalated the issue of
Jews voting for Obama during this election. The message, it seems, is that
blacks cannot convince with the facts but with fists.

***
McCain and Palin [has] created a racially charged atmosphere at some of
their rallies which resulted in shouts of "kill him, off with his head, and
terrorist" referring to Senator Obama. I have said that such an
atmosphere is akin to the lynch mobs rallies which resulted in the
gratuitous lynching of black men especially during the Jim Crow era. These
rallies and the attendant racially tinged atmosphere were condemned by CNN.

Now, in a shameless show of hypocrisy, CNN -- like the slave masters who
profited from racism and slavery -- has decided that there is still money in
racism and found just the Negro to help it cash in. At 10 P.M. on Saturday,
October, 25, 2008, CNN premiered D.L. Hughley Breaks the News.

Now I've never really had a problem with D.L. but dude got to come better than
he did on the first episode. That shit was corny. Barack Obama has raised
the bar if you get a show on a major news network you can't go on there
with your Shucking and Jiving routine, you got to represent. D.L. need to get some more writers or something and come up with some witty intelligent shit, or he need to tell CNN thanks but no thanks.

More Racism, Hate At Palin's Rally in Vegas

From Crooksandliars

In LasVegas, videographer Matt Toplikar captured footage of McCain/Palin supporters as they came out from a rally featuring an appearance by Sarah Palin.

One camouflage-capped fellow captures the spirit of the event:

Obama wins, I'm gonna move to Alaska.

... Haven't you ever heard that the United States is gonna be taken down from within? What better way to get taken down from within than haveing the President of the United States be the one that's going to do it?

It seems they became especially aggravated when they encountered anti-McCain protesters outside. The same Alaska-bound supporter started leading a chant in front of them:

Vote McCain, Not Hussein!

Then there's the Pam Atlas wannabee:

This country needs to wake up! Obama is dangerous! This man is a tyrant to this country. I mean, he has connections to Arabs! His education was paid for by Arabs! He's an abomination.

And of course, the obligatory racist:

Don't be afraid of me! Be afraid of Obama! Obama bin Laden, that's what you should be afraid of!

... Yes, I am a racist. If you consider me a racist, well [unintelligible]. Those Arabs are dirtbags. They're dirty people, they hate Americans, they hate my kids, they hate my grandkids. And people like him [points to another supporter], more power to them.

McCain and Palin have somewhat ratcheted back their rhetoric, but the fuse has been lit.

You can watch the video here

I don't know about you but I'm so sick of these angry, illerate rednecks and their fucking hatred of anybody black or brown. Fuck those assclowns and fuck Sarah Palin, I'll be glad when this election is over so she can take her hill-billy as back to Alaska and I hope we never have to see that racist bitch again.

Neo Nazi Plot to Kill Obama, African Americans Foiled

From MSNBC:

A plot by two Neo-Nazi skinheads to assassinate Barack Obama and kill dozens of other African Americans has been foiled, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms said Monday.

Daniel Cowart, 20, of Bells, Tenn., and Paul Schlesselman, 18, of West Helena, Ark., were charged Friday with making threats against a presidential candidate, illegal possession of a sawed-off shotgun and conspiracy to rob a gun store.

Jim Cavanaugh, special agent in charge of the Nashville ATF field office, said the two men sought to go on a national killing spree that included an unnamed African-American school, with Obama as their final target.

The two planned to shoot 88 black people and decapitate another 14, he added. The numbers 88 and 14 are symbolic in the white supremacist community.

“They said that would be their last, final act — that they would attempt to kill Sen. Obama,” Cavanaugh said. “They didn’t believe they would be able to do it, but that they would get killed trying.”

You know these white supremecist hate groups have been laying low for the the last eight years, I assume because they've had their guy "W" in the White house. In the 90's under Clinton they were pretty active. You had the white militia groups training for warfare and of course you can not forget the infamous Timothy McVeigh committing the most deadly act of domestic terrorism in the history of this country.

Well these boys are back and are angry as hell that a black man is about to become President of white america. I'm afraid we will be hearing more and more about these fuckers in the future.

For you little so called gang bangers and other haters out there in the black community, you better wake up and stop committing violence and hating on your own people and realize that there is a real enemy out there that despises you. They would like to commit harm against you and your community simply because of the color of your skin.

We got to stand up strong,stand together and stand with Barack Obama.

Latest News On The Hudson Family Tragedy

From From EONLINE.COM:

The heartbreaking news coming out of Chicago continues as the Cook County medical examiner's office confirmed today to E! News that it was Jennifer Hudson who identified the bodies of her mother and brother, who died of multiple gunshot wounds on Friday.

Hudson herself has spoken out for the first time since the double homicide. On behalf of her family, the Oscar winner took to her MySpace blog to ask the public for help in finding her missing 7-year-old nephew, Julian King.

"Thank you all for your prayers and your calls. Please keep praying for our family and that we get Julian King back home safely. If anyone has any information about his whereabouts please contact the authorities immediately. Here is a picture of Julian and what he was last seen wearing. Once again thank you all for being there for us through this tough time."

Family Member Held in Hudson Murders

From Hiphopdx.com:

A suspect is in police custody following the Friday murders of singer Jennifer Hudson’s mother and bother according to the Chicago Sun-Times and Chicago Tribune.

Police took Hudson’s brother-in-law, William Balfour into custody in connection with the shooting. The 27-year-old was out on parole after serving time for several violent crimes, including attempted murder and carjacking, according to an MTV report.

Balfour had been on parole in 2006 and would have completed parole next year.
Chicago authorities consider the double homicide a case of domestic violence. Balfour was involved with Hudson’s sister Julia, who identified Balfour as her husband on a MySpace page. Balfour also lived at the residence where the shooting took place.

Another Lynching in Texas?

This is a story that's under the radar at the moment. I came across it over at Final Call.com. It took place in Paris, Texas. The body of Brandon McClelland a 24 year old black man was found mutilated and dismembered in the middle of a busy road, the local police are calling it a hit and run accident but the McClelland family think it was a hate crime.

When the body of a 24-year-old Black man in Paris, Texas was discovered in the middle of a busy road, law enforcement declared the case a hit and run by an unidentified driver.

Now this small racially-divided town’s worst fears are brewing, with evidence pointing towards two White men who picked up Brandon Clelland in their Dodge truck before he was found mutilated and dismembered in September.

Forensics performed by the Texas Rangers found blood from Mr. McClelland and other DNA evidence on the undercarriage of the truck which has the victim’s family calling the death a “Jasper-style” lynching. The term is a reference to the murder of a Black man in Jasper, Texas in 1998.

“The[y] tied my son to that truck and drugged him until his body parts were detached,” said Jacqueline McClelland, the victim’s mother in an interview with The Final Call. “His body was so destroyed that it could not even be embalmed by the funeral home. This is a hate crime. I don’t want the death penalty for these killers because that would be too quick. I want them to suffer for life in jail without parole since I will never have my son back.”

Angry family members and community activists, however, are demanding a thorough investigation into a possible hate crime they say parallels the lynching of James Byrd Jr., in Jasper, Texas, which is several hours south of Paris.

I will continue to check on this story for further developments.

Palin Pissed At Her Campaign Handlers

You can tell when a campaign is sinking fast and know that they are going to get their ass handed it to them on election day. Why? Because they start pointing fingers and looking for others to blame BEFORE election day. If an election is close all the way to the end, the losing campaign normally point fingers after election day.

It seems Caribou Barbie, Gov. Sarah Palin is now frustrated with her handlers that were assigned to her by the McCain campaign. She's blaming the former Bush aides that were assigned to her for her now tarnished public image. There is a story of this on Politico in which she is starting to disregard the advice of her campaign managers:

Four Republicans close to Palin said she has decided increasingly to disregard the advice of the former Bush aides tasked to handle her, creating occasionally tense situations as she travels the country with them. Those Palin supporters, inside the campaign and out, said Palin blames her handlers for a botched rollout and a tarnished public image — even as others in McCain's camp blame the pick of the relatively inexperienced Alaska governor, and her public performance, for McCain's decline.

Let the finger pointing and the blame game begin, Palin is blaming her handlers and other people in the campaign are blaming her.

"She's lost confidence in most of the people on the plane," said a senior Republican who speaks to Palin, referring to her campaign jet. He said Palin had begun to "go rogue" in some of her public pronouncements and decisions.

"I think she'd like to go more rogue," he said.

I wonder what the old man at the head of the ticket have to say about Sarah deciding to go "Rogue" this late in the game. I got news for the McCain campaign, the entire campaign has been pathetic and has been totally outclassed by the Obama campaign. And as for Sarah Palin, homegirl is just not ready for the big stage, she can blame who ever you want but she need to look in the mirror. Just because she was popular in Eskimo country doesn't mean she will be a hit in the lower 48.

McCain Supporter Lied About Mugging

I had wrote about this story yesterday, you can read it here. A young white woman, who we now find out is a McCain supporter, claimed she was robbed and assaulted by a big black guy who carved a "B" on her face after he realized she was a McCain supporter. I said at the time that the story sounded fishy, well come to find out after her story was not adding up she has confessed that the story was a hoax. A MOTHERFUCKING HOAX!

I don't know what they are going to charge her with but considering Amerikkka'a past, she should get more than a slap on the wrist, the heifer should be charged with a hate crime IMHO.

A couple of generations ago if she would have did this, there would have been some angry white mob roaming around looking for some black guy to lynch. Even today in 2008 with the racial tension directed against Barack Obama candidacy there could have been some racial violence going on in this day and age, all it takes is a spark.

Now there is a story over on Daily Kos that says the McCain campaign actually pushed the story. Here is what is being said:

John McCain's Pennsylvania communications director told reporters in the state an incendiary version of the hoax story about the attack on a McCain volunteer well before the facts of the case were known or established -- and even told reporters outright that the "B" carved into the victim's cheek stood for "Barack," according to multiple sources familiar with the discussions.

John Verrilli, the news director for KDKA in Pittsburgh, told TPM Election Central that McCain's Pennsylvania campaign communications director gave one of his reporters a detailed version of the attack that included a claim that the alleged attacker said, "You're with the McCain campaign? I'm going to teach you a lesson."

The McCain spokesperson's claims -- which came in the midst of extraordinary and heated conversations late yesterday between the McCain campaign, local TV stations, and the Obama camp, as the early version of the story rocketed around the political world -- is significant because it reveals a McCain official pushing a version of the story that was far more explosive than the available or confirmed facts permitted at the time.

So McCain campaign was willing to push a story before it was even confirmed that could have caused a racial war in this country just to win this election. McCain and his campaign is pathetic.

Black Obama Supporter Mugs White Woman?

I just saw this story on the news about a black 'Obama Supporter' who allegedly mugged a white woman and when he turned away he noticed she had a John McCain sticker on her car he turned back around and carved a 'B' on her face. First thought that popped in my head was that the Republicans were up to their old dirty tricks again. I guess we can call this Willie Horton II or Willie Horton 2.0. Here is the story just in case you haven't heard about:

A 20-year-old woman who was robbed at an ATM in Bloomfield was also maimed by her attacker, police said.

Pittsburgh police spokeswoman Diane Richard tells Channel 4 Action News that the victim was robbed at knifepoint on Wednesday night outside of a Citizens Bank near Liberty Avenue and Pearl Street just before 9 p.m.

Richard said the robber took $60 from the woman, then became angry when he saw a McCain bumper sticker on the victim's car. The attacker then punched and kicked the victim, before using the knife to scratch the letter "B" into her face, Richard said.

Richard said the woman refused medical treatment after the assault, which happened outside the view of the bank's surveillance cameras.

The robber is described as a dark-skinned black man, 6 feet 4 inches tall, 200 pounds with a medium build, short black hair and brown eyes. The man was wearing dark colored jeans, a black undershirt and black shoes.

Now let me get this straight, after the incident the woman refused any medical attention and the incident happened outside of the view of the surveillance cameras. In other words we are suppose to just take her word for it.

Fuck that! Something smell fishy as old cooch. McCain and the Republican party are desperate as hell and their looking for any thing to latch on to to try to rile up their knuckle dragging base, even if it means initiating a race war. Republicans don't care about this country, they only care about maintaining power at all cost even if it means starting riots in the street.

So people hold on to your hats because the next 13 days is going to be something to remember. Besides you can't hold Barack Obama responsible for everything a black person do just like you didn't hold Bush or McCain responsible for what Timothy McVeigh did.

Edit: This incident just happen to take place in the battleground state of Pennsylvania, a state in which the McCain campaign must win and is trailing by double digits.

The Rumor Mill: Usher creeping around/ Obama's law suit/50 Cent & The Game Callabo?

The latest Rumors or News you cant Use


The rumors about Usher and his wife continue to heat up as new word has emerged that Usher could be messing around with Destiny's Child member, Kelly Rowland.

According to the Daily Star, Usher, Kelly Rowland and Nelly, who were all in the UK for Radio 1's Big Weekend, spent the six figure sum on champagne and vodka at the city's Amika nightclub. A fellow clubgoer reports: "They were all having a great time celebrating the success of Kelly's new album and every time they bought another bottle, the DJ played one of their songs so they thought it was a riot to keep buying."

Other reports are surfacing as well that the top selling male singer of the decade has actually moved on to spending lots of time on the low with a new celeb "friend." And this new "friend" spends A LOT of time in Europe.

According to numerous sources Barack Obama is not in Hawaii to help his ailing grandmother, he's there for a lawsuit over his citizenship. Sources are saying Obama is being sued in the state over his unconfirmed US citizenship and birth certificate which many say has been altered. If you're keeping track this is the second lawsuit of its kind filed against Barack Obama over his citizenship or lack there of.

THE GAME AND 50 CENT ON ONE SONG?

There are rumors abound that Busta Rhymes has managed to get 50 Cent and The Game on the same record for his album. How? Well, there is a pre-existing song that features 50 Cent. Busta convinced The Game to do a song for a remix of said record. Well, 50 Cent gave his permission to appear on the remix with The Game for the promo value for his own record, Before I Self Destruct. I heard it is going to hit the net really soon. Stay tuned.

Obama Resoles his shoes while Palin spends $150K on her wardrobe

The talk of the day is that the McCain campaign spent over $150,000.00 on the Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin's wardrobe:

Since her selection as John McCain's running mate, the Republican National Committee spent more than $150,000 on clothing and make-up for Gov. Sarah Palin, her husband, and even her infant son, it was reported on Tuesday evening.

That entertaining scoop -- which came by way of Politico -- sent almost immediate reverberations through the presidential race. A statement from McCain headquarters released hours after the article bemoaned the triviality of the whole affair.

"With all of the important issues facing the country right now, it's remarkable that we're spending time talking about pantsuits and blouses," said spokesperson Tracey Schmitt. "It was always the intent that the clothing go to a charitable purpose after the campaign."

Normally this wouldn't be a big story but it's been the McCain Campaign along with Sarah Palin as the lead attack dog claiming Senator Obama is an elitist and is out of touch with "Regular People" in small towns. You've heard the McCain Campaign's talking points that Sarah Palin is the small town 'Hockey Mom' who can relate to 'Joe Six Pack' and is the only one looking out for 'Joe the Plumber'.

The story is not about the money she spent it's about the hypocrisy and how easily the Republican Party are able to dupe their followers. You think 'Joe Six Pack' can afford to go to Saks Fifth Ave and Neiman Marcus and spend over $150K on a fucking shopping spree? That's is at least a 3 year salary for Joe the Plumber.

Now compare Gov. Palin's splurging with a Picture of Obama I came across today, which had the following caption:

"Senator Obama was doing press interviews by telephone in a holding room between events. Sometime later as he was getting ready to begin his event, he asked me if I was photographing his shoes. When I said yes, he told me that he had already had them resoled once since he entered the race a year earlier. Providence, R.I., 3/1/2008."

So Obama wears the same shoes for over a year and even get his shoes resoled while Sarah Palin goes out and spends $150K on clothes and her hair in the 7 weeks she's been on the national stage. Now who do you think is more like ordinary people? The Republicans are all about stories and slogans, they are dishonest and are without any substance.

Family Guy pokes fun at McCain Campaign with Nazi reference

A Sunday night episode of the Fox animated series “Family Guy” stirred up trouble by suggesting­ rather directly that Nazi officers would have supported the McCain-Palin ticket. And it was another arm of the News Corp. conglomerate, Fox News Channel, that first reported on the episode.

Fox (the broadcast network) aired the episode in which Stewie, the obnoxious baby character at the center of the series, and Brian, a talking dog, traveled back in time to Poland during the 1939 German invasion. The characters ambush Nazi soldiers in an alley and steal their uniforms so they can travel without drawing attention. Putting on an overcoat, Stewie notices a McCain-Palin campaign button affixed to the lapel. “Huh, that’s weird,” Stewie remarks.

“Family Guy” has never been known for its taste level. One recent episode depicted Jesus binge drinking, and the hit show once got in trouble with the Federal Communications Commission for showing a partially nude cartoon character. The series’ creator, Seth MacFarlane, is a prominent supporter of Barack Obama’s presidential bid. So fans of the program seemed to take the scene in stride: by mid-day Monday, the vast majority of blog mentions of the episode were favorable.
