E-mail from my dad:

Senator BARACK OBAMA was invited to address a major gathering of
the American Indian Nation two weeks ago in upstate New York.

HE spoke for almost an hour on HIS future plans for increasing
every Native American's present standard of living, should HE one
day become President.

HE referred to his career as a Senator, how he had signed 'YES'
for every Indian issue that came to his desk for approval.

Although the Senator was vague on the details of his plan, he seemed
most enthusiastic about his future ideas for helping his 'red sisters and
brothers'.

At the conclusion of his speech, the Tribes presented the Senator with a
plaque inscribed with his new Indian name - Walking Eagle. The proud Senator then departed in his motorcade, waving to the crowds.

A news reporter later inquired to the group of chiefs of how they came
to select the new name they had given to the Senator.

They explained that Walking Eagle is the name given to a bird so full of
shit it can no longer fly.

C-SPAN is showing it live, in all its consciousness-clobbering detail, with painful musical interludes and presentations.

This is the trainwreck I saw during Chrissy Matthew's show earlier:

Showdown: Obama, Clinton Supporters Trade Barbs

Before the Democratic National Convention got underway with a prayer and the national anthem, Democratic infighting took center stage in another area of Denver's Pepsi Center.

Supporters of former presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., shouted "We will not fall in line" behind the party's presumptive presidential nominee, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill.

A small group of about 15 people, located within the crowd of approximately 200 gathered in front of MSNBC's news set, traded barbs over who deserves the nomination.

This cracked me up:

"Haters, that's what y'all are. Haters! You're not a Democrat! You're not a Democrat!" a man holding up an Obama sign shouted at a Clinton supporter.

Then this:

"Let the delegates vote!" "Rise, Hillary Rise!" "I own my vote!" the Clinton supporters responded.

The Obama backers replied with his campaign mantra "Yes We Can," but the Clinton supporters persisted.

"Caucus fraud, Caucus fraud!" they yelled.

If you missed the name Mary Rose Oakar, perhaps this will help.

Good evening, my fellow Barack Americans!

I am Michelle Obama. (Pause for adulation. Frown at insufficient applause. Wait for more.)

I am just an ordinary working mom from an ordinary town. A “civilian” innocent in the ways of politics. Just like you.

(Well, except for my hard Left thesis-writing skills. And my hard-core Chicago family political ties. And my high-powered, $317,000-a-year affirmative action job. And my role in organizing the Woods Fund panel that Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers and Barack appeared on together.)

Thank you. My guess is that Daley II, who has been very successful at rebuilding his city, tried for the sophisticated approach by offloading his problems. He sent the fool in the family into the Clinton administration and got Obama a nice harmless spot in the State legislature. There is precedent for this approach to managing local fools at a greater expense. Woodrow Wilson was an unwelcome presence in the faculty lounge so he got kicked up to President of Princeton. The Trustees and faculty didn't like him there so they palmed him off on the State of New Jersey as Governor. Desperate politicians arranges for him to be packed off to Washington as President. If it wasn't for Henry Cabot Lodge the next step would have made Wilson President of the World as head of the League of Nations. A certain level of jealousy towards those who float up in life is only human for the rest of us.

Hey loppyd, did you catch Howard Lawrence Carr? I missed him due to family obligations and for some reason WRKO won't come up on my Mac.

The fact that the Obameister brought in the guy who ran two losing Presidential campaigns (2000 and 2004) to run his own speaks volumes about how detached from reality the Lightworker truly is.

Four more years. Did I miss McCain's first term? I know I've been busy, but...

PIMF, was supposed to be oh, not ohm.
But actually, it kinda works.

Even NARAL was neutral on the Born Alive Infants Protection Act. Obama is to the left of the most radical abortion rights group.

I am not trying to bring up the birth certificate fiasco which has been debunked .

Just asking if the Lawsuit filed by a Pennsylvania guy regarding Obama's qualifications to be president have been discussed already?

I have a link to this guy's lawsuit which I will post in the spinoff links unless people already discussed this lawsuit.
Let me know

I heard about that lawsuit on coast-to-coast...
I was like - It's already old news... drop it already.

I don't remember whether it was Michelle Malkin or Neal Boortz who pointed out the Welfare Queen in Nawlins who was complaining about how tough it was down there post Katrina whilst sitting in a hyper comfortable apartment in front of a 60 inch flat screen plasma TV. She was at most a fig newton away from being 300 pounds too. America is the only country in the history of the world where poor people are fat and have some pretty nifty toys.

Archbishop says no to Joe:
[Link: www.washingtontimes.com...]

The Hollywood convention with its sound and light show, fanbase applause and star support is all about what the Dems and media can do for Obama.

But I bet the election will rest on what Obama is able to do for himself - at the debates. Remember what I said about intelligence being what you use when you don't know what to do (in this case, what to say?) McCain can analyze, introspect and recall a vast number of real life learning events, make an informed judgment and produce an appropriate and intelligent response. Obama can only search through his datafiles of hardwired bits of closely corresponding information, and try to cobble together a sensible sounding reply. Obama cannot reason from a depth of practical learning experience, and that's where his all-to-obvious lack of functional leadership ability will become glaringly obvious.

Speaking without a script, despite clever digs and reeled off memorized soundbites, Barry will sound as convincing as a computer-game program of a Commander in Chief.

re: #242 ploome hineni

That photo should be distributed down South heavily, especially to African American CME congregations where Dem politicians love to preach.
It would shake up a few things.

young people always get involved... until they have to actually head to the polls and spend time away from their playstations

Getting it started!

re: #215 buzzsawmonkey

It keeps telling me the feed is not compatible with my system/browser--even though it lists both of mine as being compatible.

To hell with it.

I found a live feed on Fox News that is working fine in FireFox.

This is the worst part of every election cycle - the four days of the Demo-lition, where we have to stand by and listen to the lies and outright denunciation of our country by those who seek to run it.

Limit gifts to themselves...

i.e. - don't give gifts to others to reduce costs

Will they have any minorities left for prime time?

The convention is a useful reminder that the modern Democratic Party is wholly owned and operated by the labor unions (especially those representing public employees), the trial lawyers, and the perpetual grievance vestiges of the femi-Nazis, environmentalist wackos, and civil rights shakedown movements.

This year, add a dash of "We're anti-war as long as it helps the enemies of our county, but if it's Georgia that's invaded, not so much" to spice things up.

It's a far cry from the party of Roosevelt and Truman.

I hope WAB goes off! God damn America!

Unfortunately, I bet she stays on script. Wah.

Is Michelle going to get her hair done before speaking?

She looks like she's been rolled in an alley right now...

musical interlude!

CNN showed that McKinney thing -- with that spiderweb scarf around her neck, trying to look like her terrorist "hero", Arafat, I guess. yeah, she wants to be Prez...I think she'd be better off hooking up with Kucinich and sharing her alien abduction/Bush conspiracy claims...

I watched a convention 4 or 8 years ago on the letter station -- first CBS, I think - then FOX - then CNN -

C-SPAN usually does a decent job of just letting the people at the podium talk. I watched most of RNC 2000 on C-SPAN and was satisfied.

That was the last time I was really able to watch an entire convention. Army's been in the way ever since. This year won't happen either.

this is so incredibly boring...it's all canned...it's empty slogans -- "yeah it's c-h-a-nge we can believe in..., yeah, I guess that's it, eh? cha-cha-change." I guess after repeating "change" for a million times, it loses that that je ne sais quoi, that genuine excitement...I trust the same goes for Obama...along with his fainting appeal (unless it's due to sheer exhaustion, of course...)

re: #245 runrabbitrun

I have been in the real estate and construction business I think back over those 30 years and I know what experience does and you are correct. It was fine when I was young and doing small projects but to try and wing it when I am doing multi million dollar jobs... .. It ain't going to work.

I thought it might be interesting to watch coverage of the convention on MSNBC.

***sigh***

For a while there, I had to remind myself that this was a network broadcast. NEWS broadcast at that! The bias is unnerving. I don't think I can stomach much more. Chris Matthews is particularly nauseating.

And what is it with having their desk outside with a partisan group trying the shout down any conservatives being interviewed. It got so rowdy at one point that McCain's senior advisor joked she was beginning to worry about her safety.

"Can I get someone to escort me through that crowd?"

Incredible...
