There is one version of the Soviet anthem that works - the one from the Hunt for the Red October. It was totally befitting of that movie and how it was done.

There's another version that is more in tune with Obama. That's the one that was missung by Nikolai Volkoff in the old WWF days.

So are Russian oligarchs supporting Obama ?

Junior Walker - Way Back Home

A Day in the Life of a Superdelegate

Lalalala, a nice Wednesday evening, and tomorrow is my 26th wedding anniversary. I still get butterflies when he comes home. Sigh!

John McCain FINALLY gave me a reason to vote for him (as opposed for just voting against the Dem):

The Obama campaign has been in disarray over the candidate's confusion on Iran, Lebanon, Hezbollah and Hamas. Not to mention the number of states in the union. Michelle Malkin provides a useful summary of Obama's recent blunders.

Today, John McCain responded to Obama's insults in a more serious way, releasing a statement that included the following paragraphs:

After Senator Obama's own advisors and supporters backtracked from his stated desire to hold summit meetings with the leaders of the world's worst regimes, Senator Obama himself has begun to reinterpret his stand. He now claims that some 'fear' to 'negotiate' with the likes of Iranian President Ahmadinejad, who has called Israel a 'stinking corpse' or Ayatollah Khamenei, who called Israel a 'cancerous tumor.' I have news for Senator Obama: I have met some very bad people before in my life. It is not fear that drives my opposition to unconditional meetings with Ahmadinejad, Khamenei, Kim Jong Il, and Raul Castro; rather it is my clear understanding that such a course will fail to eliminate the threat posed by these rogue regimes. I don't fear to negotiate. Instead I have the knowledge and experience to understand the dangerous consequences of a naive approach to Presidential summits based entirely on emotion.

The question before the American people is which candidate is best able to secure the peace for the next generation of Americans, a peace that will keep our nation safe, prosperous and free. Senator Obama's desire to meet unconditionally in his first year at the presidential level with Iranian leaders is reckless, and demonstrates poor judgment that will make the world more dangerous.

Senator Obama has consistently offered his judgment on Iraq, and he has been consistently wrong. He said that General Petraeus' new strategy would not reduce sectarian violence, but would worsen it. He was wrong. He said the dynamics in Iraq would not change as a result of the 'surge.' He was wrong. One year ago, he voted to cut off all funds for our forces fighting extremists in Iraq. He was wrong. Sectarian violence has been dramatically reduced, Sunnis in Anbar province and throughout Iraq are cooperating in fighting al Qaeda in Iraq, and Shi'ite extremist militias no longer control Basra -- the Maliki government and its forces do. British and Iraqi forces now move freely in areas that were controlled by Iranian-backed militias. The fight against al Qaeda in Mosul is succeeding in further weakening that deadly terrorist group, and many key leaders have been killed or captured. .. Iraqi forces have moved unopposed into Sadr City, a development the New York Times characterized today as a 'dramatic turnaround' as the government of Prime Minister Maliki 'advanced its goal of establishing sovereignty and curtailing the powers of the militias.'

We continue to face challenges in Iraq, and we have a lot of work ahead. Yet the American people must ask whether we are more or less likely to succeed there if Senator Obama has his way. Each of these positive developments in Iraq is the direct result of the new strategy that Senator Obama opposed. Senator Obama consistently predicted the new strategy would fail, and at every step events have demonstrated his judgment was consistently wrong. He now says that he intends to withdraw combat troops from Iraq -- one to two brigades per month until they are all removed -- regardless of the conditions in Iraq, irrespective of the consequences for our national security, and despite the best advice of our commanders on the ground. He is wrong again, and the American people deserve a President who has the strength, judgment and experience to keep our country safe and secure.

Tough stuff, and, unlike Obama's flights of fancy and historical revisionism, it has the added virtue of being true.

Probably not.

Is there anyone else out there who thinks Obama's biggest mistake,so far,has been to take his eyes off of the Clinton machine? I'm thinking the Clinton's have some MAJOR dirt on the competition. They never give up this easy. There is absolutely no way Hillary is going to roll over for an upstart Senator and allow him to take,what she no doubt sees as,her rightful place at the helm.

Yes, as a matter of fact, there is.

Several things in fact:
1) Fire can indeed melt steel.
2) (a) That there is an Islamic terrorist group known as al Qaeda, and (b) that it was behind 9/11.
3) Bush didn't lie about Iraq.
4) A policy dispute is not grounds for impeachment no matter how much you bray in public.

If he gets the proper number of votes before the convention, what is "major dirt" going to do?

At this point, Obama would have to be caught buggering an underage goat at high noon in Macy's window--and even then, it is doubtful that he would step down.

What makes think she is not going to roll over play dead, is that she is still lending her personal money to her campaign.

Haven't you noticed? We've already lost big, and we didn't have an election. The House and Senate Republicans decided to turn into Democrats in an effort to keep themselves from being booted out come November by voting for the farm bill.

I have some very bad news for them. They'll still lose come November. Why would independants and middle of the road democrats vote for them when they can have the real thing?

I hope that they understand that they have relegated the Republican party to minority status for the next 20-30 years.

McCain may win, but will not get his his supreme court nominees approved. There will be no Republican majority to rescue those appointments if and when they are submitted.

If that upsets him, he better not see what some of the store mannequins in Japan look like today. I saw a pic of some a few years ago that made Al Jolson in blackface look like Huey Newton.

I think most of the un-declared super delegates have already decided to go for Obama, but they're too scared of alienating the Hillary supporters in their own neck of the woods. Or they're Clinton supporters and are scared of backlash from Obama supporters.

Either way, Howie wants them to either "cook or get out of the kitchen" by June 3rd. We'll see if anyone really listens to him.

Speaking of unsung heroes of WWII, wouldn't it be nice to see a movie about the Fighting 442nd Nisei Brigade?

Of course, it won't happen. It would be too embarrassing, perhaps, to today's Americans of Muslim heritage that they didn't volunteer en masse to form the equivalent unit after 9/11....

Der Spiegel Interviews Qabir Bashir Haqqani, Taliban Commander...

'What's Important Is to Kill the Germans'

SPIEGEL ONLINE: How do you justify the fact that suicide bombers also kill thousands of innocent civilians, most of them faithful Afghan Muslims?

Haqqani: We do not justify it, Islam does. Even if the head of state promised him millions of dollars, you couldn't convince someone in Germany to kill his enemy by conducting a suicide attack. But in our region we have a culture of jihad and with a single call and within a single day, dozens would be ready. We didn't attack any other country. We are only defending our own country. We are confident that we will win this war sooner or later. We are prepared for a war that could last a few decades, but we are sure that the West will start to leave Afghanistan in 2010 and that many countries will pull their troops out.

Are these the people we need to talk to, Dahli ObamaLama ?

re: #80 OldLineTexan

I have never yet seen a Spike Lee movie that was well written, coherently edited, well shot, or decently paced. Do the Right Thing came close, but its dimwitted racism and its inability to decide whether it was going to be funny or A Big Important Statement ultimately did it in. Jungle Fever, Mo' Better Blues, School Daze and She's Gotta Have It were garbage. Mo' Better Blues had the extra added bonus of wallowing in antisemitic stereotypes.

By the time he came out with his Malcolm X movie I had decided that life was too short to waste on this no-talent racist hack.
