Dear Mr. Obama

Knowledge is frequently inversely proportional to speaking ability.

A Senior Hezballah official states, "As soon as we learn how to drive them, we will invade the Zionist Entity!"

Everybody, Stand up for Chuck !

#1 bit of advice I ever got in life:

If you find yourself being audited, SHUT UP. Answer questions, and say nothing more.

You must resist the urge to fill the silence. Otherwise, you will dig your own grave.

re: #15 Kragar (Proud to be Kafir) OMG, LMAO here! From your link (just a partial quote):
And a human verbal wrecking crew. This is the fellow who nearly derailed his nascent presidential campaign last year by calling Obama bright and clean and articulate and who noted that you needed a slight Indian accent to walk into a Dunkin' Donuts or 7-11 in Delaware.

The guy who, reading his vice-presidential acceptance speech from a TelePrompter, bungled McCain's name, calling him "George" ("Freudian slip, folks, Freudian slip," he explained).

The guy who, on the day Obama announced him as his running mate, referred to his party's presidential nominee as "Barack America" and noted that his own wife, Jill, a college professor, was "drop-dead gorgeous" but who, problematically, possessed a doctorate.

ROTFLMAO! I CAN'T WAIT FOR BIDEN TO DEBATE PALIN!

Are you feeling good about McCain's position in the current polls? Great! Time for the...

Reminder of the Day

The Presidential Election is 53 days away: what have you been doing to make sure John McCain is our next President (and Sarah Palin our next Vice-President)? Have you been volunteering for his campaign? You may offer to volunteer online: just click here!

So, you don't have the time, but you still may help by making contributions, which will particularly help the campaign in Battleground states: just click here.

Never forget: you may influence your own immediate circle - friends, family, colleagues, people who may not know just how radical Barack Obama is. Tell them that he is not a Gore or a Kerry: he is an unknown and dangerous man, connected with the worst people in the American radical left.

re: #45 alegrias

Editors have all the power. At the least, they should require that they can also film it, to show just what was edited.

I saw a video in college rhetoric class about a company (Nuclear power plant, I think--yes, it was old) that did just that to CBS. The 60 min piece made them look absolutely incompetent, so they released a video without the hatchet job editing. Made 60 min look bad, but then, how many people saw the more honest PR video and how many saw 60 minutes?

I'm all for going on with anyone and everyone, talking about anything they want. Hide nothing, just don't let them manipulate your words, or even just cut out the good bits.

McCain was famous for his media availability. Disarming the media by overloading them with "honest" "open" almost reality show reality.

Fawning media used to eat it up, so they are on record as having been fawning fans of the maverick.

Now they're backtracking and trying to re-write history by "interrogating" McCain like Hanoi's interrogators did.

"From now on it will go badly for you Mac-Cain" was what his interrogators threatened when McCain refused to be sent home.

re: #59 Vet_Missing_Parts (1LT, Ret)

Yeah, but both are supposedly just the RCP average. Just two different locations on their page.

Then I dunno either.

I did the math of the listed polls, and the answer is 2.625. So the headline appears to be more correct, but neither is totally correct. Maybe there is a rounding difference that bumps it to 2.7 and the 2.3 is a typo.

Saw a link on a prior thread of Hamas elected members of the PA "gov't" petitioning to keep their Israeli citizenship. The breathtaking chutzpah of the enemies of Western Civilization and their allies in the Democratic party is what they are counting on to disarm those who would stop them.

They update the chart first (2.3), then the one on the mainpage (2.7) It usually takes about 20 minutes to update the main page. When they added the Hotline poll (Obama +1) it brought it down four tenths.

Pardon me being pedantic, but Galveston was whacked with the worse Hurricane ever to hit the USA prior to the building of the seawall

Hurricane of 1900

Prior to that hurricane, Galveston was the city is South texas. The place still has many stoic looking mansions from that error. After that huricane, the business all moved to Houston and galveston became a tourism spot.

Sure, the RCP numbers look nice, and the electoral map shows a wide swath of red, with blue islands. However, look at their page "No Toss-Up States", and remember that on election day there are NO toss-ups. There, The Chosen 0ne is the next president by a two-vote electoral margin. And remember, on election day, if things are close, federal judges will keep the polls open late in big cities, like St. Louis in 2004, or will allow the result to just plain be stolen, like New Mexico in 2000. Long story short: Don't get sleepy. Lots of work ahead.

McCain may not know how to send conventional email, but he wrote TAP CODE for 5.5 years in Hanoi, under threat of beatings!

TAP CODE was how POWs communicated through walls.

Try tap coding, leftists.

Oh, right, that requires ingenuity, numerical skill and courage.

Whoopi asked McCain if she had to worry about being made a slave again.

Oh my gosh, I didn't know that Whoopi Goldberg was ever a slave!

Where? When? What country did she grow up in, Sudan? Saudi?

I had always thought she was born in America, where slavery has been outlawed since long, long, LONG before Whoopi's birth.

But this raises the question, why would anyone who had suffered real evil like that ever think that teeny inconveniences in this great country amounted to "oppression"?

re: #110 lawhawk

Galveston, September 1900

Looters found despoiling the dead were stood against the nearest wall or pile of debris and shot without hindrance of a trial. The grisly work of collecting the dead continued by torchlight. The workers were issued generous rations of bourbon and strong cigars. They breathed through handkerchiefs soaked in bourbon and smoked cigars to mask the smell.

In the sweltering heat that followed the storm, decomposition was rapid. The bodies soon lost the rigidity of rigor mortis and had to be shoveled into carts. At times the fixed bayonets of the militia were all that kept many of the men at their work. Superintendents of the work gangs were finally given permission to torch the wreckage wherever found rather than try to extricate pieces of flesh from the ruins and cart them away.

“It was like living in a battlefield. The fuel-oil smoke hung over the city, day and night, and the heavy air was never free of the smell of carbolic acid, of lime, of putrefaction.”

"Jesus was a community organizer and Pontius Pilate was a governor. That's

Idiot of the day.

One should read the Newsbusters article that is linked. The author correctly and clearly points out that Whoopi has no knowledge of the Constitution, especially the 13th Amendment. I can only imagine that this aspect was lost on "The View" audience too.

What is interesting is that her statement was in response to a conversation about Abortion and Roe V. Wade. What she did was take an instance where the leftists in this country circumvented the appropriate channels of the Legislative Body to get their political opinion forced on the rest of the United States against their will by the Judicial Branch (Roe v Wade), with an instance where the appropriate steps were taken by the Legislative Branch to overturn Slavery and change the Constitution to appropriately REFLECT the will of the people.

A little insight into the mind of the common Democrat (ney, American?)

One should read the Newsbusters article that is linked. The author correctly and clearly points out that Whoopi has no knowledge of the Constitution, especially the 13th Amendment. I can only imagine that this aspect was lost on "The View" audience too.

I was hoping McCain would teach her a lesson about the Constitution and embarrass her about her lack of knowledge.

re: #119 ciaospirit

I wonder if the LLL really know where they are going with this whole "Governors can't be presidents" thing. Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter were governors.

Do the Dems really want to say that it is their official stance that being a governor isn't qualification for the Presidency?

Because the next time around, you know, it can easily be the Dems running a governor. They've already had to run around in circles explaining why young and new is good for them, and bad for the GOP while old and experienced is fatal for the GOP but great for them.

I was thinking obstructionism on energy policy including preventing completion and usability of the Yucca Mt nuclear repository so nuclear power plants can ship their waste to a secure facility rather than store it on-site.

Indeed. I'm also concerned about the situation in Houston, where the Mayor (a Democrat btw) decided against a mandatory evacuation after the mess with Rita a few years back. I hope that doesn't come back to bite Houstonians in a bad way.

Same here. Unfortunately you can't anticipate that amount of stupidity. It's hard not to be flabbergasted when presented with that nincompoopery.

I notice that when McCain speaks of his time in prison on "The View," and says that "he served in the company of heroes," the applause is a long time coming--and that Hasselbeck is the only one of the women on the panel who applauds.

To those hags, a hero is a women who has bravely had 30 abortions or gotten money by whining about an "evil" corporation or had a petition to ban something no one cared about except for busy bodies.

re: #144 ploome hineni

Here's the Beverage list with recipes...It's is New Orleans policy to follow
all instructions and report to the nearest liquor store in the event of a hurricane! :)

MANDATORY EVACUATION
1 1/2 oz. Absolute Ruby Red vodka
1/2 oz.vermouth
Clamato
Prune juice
Combine vodka and vermouth in cocktail glass. Fill remainder of glass with equal parts clamato and prune juice. Stir. Drink. Ask next-door neighbor whose fichus tree blew over and crashed onto your roof - even though you'd warned him for months to uproot it - if you can use his bathroom. Repeat.

CATEGORY 5
1/2 oz. vodka
1/2 oz. tequila
1/2 oz. rum
1/2 oz. bourbon
1/2 oz. gin
Sweet-and-sour mix
Splash of fruit juice
Combine vodka, tequila, rum, bourbon and gin in a tall glass. Fill remainder of glass with sweet-and-sour mix and splash of juice. Stir, then garnish with an inverted drink umbrella. Drink during peak storm hours, and vow not to believe anyone who tries to tell you the hurricane that flooded your garage and destroyed your shed was just a Category 1.

CONE OF PROBABILITY
1 oz. cinnamon schnapps
1 sugar cone
Pour the schnapps into the sugar cone. Every time you hear a TV weatherman say, "cone of probability," bite off the end of the cone and down the shot. If you hear Jim Cantore say it, drink two shots consecutively. (they should change this to the "Cantore Zone"... damn him. Have you ever noticed that, despite all the cone of probability talk, if Cantore is parked in front of your house your ass is toast?) - that is my personal favorite!

FEEDER BAND
2 oz. Midori
2 oz. rum
1 scoop vanilla ice cream
After your home loses power, combine Midori and rum in a cocktail glass. Add a scoop of the vanilla ice cream that is melting in your freezer. Stir, and drink through a straw. BEACH EROSION
1 1/2 oz. Goldschloger
1 1/2 oz. apple brandy
1 pack Sugar in the Raw
Combine Goldschloger, apple brandy and sugar in cocktail glass. As you drink, seriously contemplate moving your Yankee ass back to New Jersey where it belongs.

DOWNED POWER LINE
1 1/2 oz. rum
5 oz. Jolt Cola
Combine ingredients in a cocktail glass. Drink while trying to figure out how the heck you're supposed to go two freakin' weeks without television and AC.

Part II to follow

re: #110 lawhawk

Indeed. The City of Galveston lost half its population in one of those hurricanes, and they built a sea wall to protect it against future storms. That sea wall will be sorely tested over the next 36 hours.

It's already plenty bad in Galveston, and the worst is yet to come.

It's been tested before, over the years. As long as they have maintained it, unlike the New Orleans levees, they should be fine. They designed it to withstand a storm surge or 15 to 17 feet. Ike will be below that.

It was first tested in 1915, and subsequently in 1931, 1934, 1943, 1980, and 1989.

Here's the Beverage list with recipes...It's is New Orleans policy to follow all instructions and report to the nearest liquor store in the event of a hurricane! :)

FLOOD ZONE
2 oz. Kahlua
2 oz. Baileys Irish cream
4 oz. rum
Serve in a 6-ounce glass and laugh-cry deliriously as the mess spills all over the countertop.

COLD SHOWER
2 oz. Blue Aftershock
4 oz. Sprite
Combine in a cocktail glass with crushed ice you received after waiting in line for three hours at a mall parking lot. Take a deep breath, sip and scream like a little girl when the cold beverage hits your tongue. Repeat.

LOOTERS WILL BE SHOT
1 oz. Jack Daniel's
Splash of sarsaparilla
Rock salt
Load both barrels of a shotgun with rock salt. Climb to the roof of your house with gun, bottle of Jack Daniel's and can of sarsaparilla. Fill shot glass with Jack and splash of sarsaparilla. Watch for looters. When you spot one, blast his ass with
rock salt. Drink shot. Repeat.

THE CHAIN SAW
1 oz. Goldschlager
1 oz. Rumplemintz
3 oz. Jim Beam
Splash of vermouth
Combine Goldschloger, Rumplemintz and Jim Beam in an empty soup can. Add splash of vermouth. Drink. Remove chain saw from garage and attempt to cut up fallen tree limbs in yard. Ask neighbor to drive you to hospital when it all goes horribly wrong.

FOUR-WAY STOP
1 1/2 oz. vodka
1 1/2 oz. vodka and Midori
1 1/2 oz. vodka and Galliano 1 1/2 oz. vodka and grenadine
Pour each ingredient into a separate shot glass. Serve one to yourself and three other people. The person with the clear shot of vodka drinks first. The person to his right drinks the Midori shot, and so on. If somebody drinks out of order, develop a quick case of road rage and beat the living crap out of him.

BLUE TARP
1 1/2 oz. Curacao
2 oz. pineapple juice
Splash of lime
Combine ingredients in a leaky paper cup and serve. Wait six to eight months for someone to repair the cup. If you're impatient, hire an unlicensed, out-of-state contractor to do the job

re: #171 buzzsawmonkey

I urge everyone to read the talking points in the Ensler letter in ##152 and 162.

This is what is being poured into the minds of people, this is what undergirds the media blitz against Palin. It is these things, or their variant, which will have to be addressed again and again up to November.

If the Polar Bears don't move you to go and do everything in your power to get Obama elected then consider the chant that filled the hall after Palin spoke at the RNC, "Drill Drill Drill." I think of teeth when I think of drills. I think of rape. I think of destruction. I think of domination. I think of military exercises that force mindless repetition, emptying the brain of analysis, doubt, ambiguity or dissent. I think of pain.

Hi Ward!

A drive-by posting.

While going through old documents while doing research, I came across this doozy:

Barack Obama seems to be so leery of being identified as an urban Northern liberal that he's running away from the most obvious explanation of his association with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and former Weatherman Bill Ayers: after Obama graduated from college he became an inner-city organizer in Chicago, and they were natural allies for someone in a situation like that.

Michael Hirch (a hardcore lefty) wrote these words in a Newsweek Web exclusive, 05 April 2008.

Now, back to work.

re: #152 buzzsawmonkey

I don't know if this is worthy of a good fisking or not, but I'll point out a couple of whoppers.

But everything Sarah Palin believes in and practices is antithetical to Feminism which for me is part of one story -- connected to saving the earth, ending racism, empowering women, giving young girls options, opening our minds, deepening tolerance, and ending violence and war.

She sure takes a lot on as part of feminism. But it certainly seems that Palin (and McCain are empowering women, opening minds, and giving young girls options. And her mind is closed.

She obviously does not believe in sex education or birth control. I imagine her daughter was practicing abstinence and we know how many babies that makes.

Zero, I believe, unlike most forms of birth control which aren't 100% effective. If her daughter had been practicing abstinence, she wouldn't be pregnant, idiot, just like someone who "practices" safe sex and decided not to use a condom this time isn't practicing safe sex.

Venezuela's Chavez says US ambassador must leave

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - President Hugo Chavez says the U.S. ambassador has 72 hours to leave Venezuela and he's recalling his ambassador from Washington.

Chavez said he's asking U.S. Ambassador Patrick Duddy to leave as a means of showing solidarity with Bolivian President Evo Morales, who expelled Washington's envoy in La Paz.

"They're trying to here what they were doing in Bolivia," Chavez said. "That's enough ... from you, Yankees," he said, using an expletive.

Been watching several live videos today from Galveston area. At the moment, the water level is already flush with the seawall. The heavy impact of the storm is still about 10 hrs. away. The NOAA has already stated that the entire island is predicted to be under water for an estimated time of 12 hrs. Storm surge estimated to be at 17-24 ft. Wind gust up to 125 mph.

Stupidity is incurable - and even so-called 'cultured' people can be amazingly stupid, as this e-mail shows.

My next-door neighbour, 72, is not politically savvy, she is just your ordinary Welsh housewife, mother and granny. She doesn't read the papers much, doresn't watch much news on TV - she is just one of those 'little' people the LLL despise while making out that they want to help them.
She is my friend, we always chat - about our lives, dogs, anything.

By total chance I mentoned yesterday that I was interested in the U.S. elections, and the difference between B0 and McCain ...
When I spoke the 'O'-word, she came out with 'yeuch!', just like that, from her heart.
She may not be such an intellectual light as that writer of the 'Vagina Monologues' - but by golly, she ain't as stupid as that writer, not by a long chalk!

All you really need to know about Whoopi Goldberg can be found in the book "The Choices We Made." She has had, IIRC, nine (9) abortions. Nine.
