Hello all. I went to my daughter's boyfriends house for the first night of Rosh Hashana. Conservative-Orthodox Iranian Jews. For the first time in a long time, everyone was a McCain supporter.

Rock stars Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel are teaming up for their first joint concert to benefit Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.

Obama plans to attend the concert at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City on Oct. 16, the day after Obama's final debate with Republican John McCain at Hofstra University, located several miles outside the city in Hempstead, New York. Seeing the two superstars together won't come cheap. Tickets start at $500 and cost up to $10,000. (AP)

It's so nice that Obama is doing this for the little people? Anybody got a spare $ 10,000?

Amusing, but hardly true.

A more accurate take off would be to have Obama doing the niceness and high road routine, while John Kerry and other Obama attack surrogates keep flinging the slime for Obama.

Meanwhile, Obama first released a statement calling for the businesses and stocks to all just stop going down in value.

When his first reaction was compared to a beauty pagent contestant's answer, the next day he called on possible intervention by officers of WaMu, AIG, and Lehman.

When told these companies were some of the main problems, Obama finally released a statement saying that he blamed Russia for the invasion of Georgia.

Thank you for reminding us what we already KNOW at this blog from the 2004 FAKE BUT ACCURATE media war against the NON-democrat candidate the media shilled for last time.

We are in a war and McCain is running an insurgent campaign. Those with nerves, please send money or do something to get a grip. It isn't going to get better for McCain without OUR active work to win.

re: #91 lifeofthemind

I will miss the commentary and reporting of the NY Sun. They had to give up at a crucial moment.

Here are tow more examples of left wing threats delivered by AP bullying.

Prosecutor to examine firings of U.S. attorneys

Justice Department agents can't unravel the reasons behind the firing of former U.S. Attorney John McKay of Seattle, in part because of stonewalling by high White House officials, a government report said Monday.

But if you really, really want to know, here's a hint. Newly released DoJ memo confirms that McKay's "investigation" of the 2004 election was a sham

A year ago fired U.S. Attorney John McKay was being lionized by the mainstream media for supposedly resisting partisan political pressure to conduct a baseless investigation into Washington's 2004 gubernatorial election. The media accepted as settled fact McKay's insistence that he conducted a thorough investigation and found "no evidence" of crimes. When I interviewed McKay last May it came out that his "investigation" was limited to reviewing trial documents, that he demanded an implausibly high standard of "evidence" (amounting to a confession of participation in a conspiracy to tip the election) before he would proactively investigate or even interview election workers, and he denied knowledge of the hundreds of unlawfully counted votes that were discovered only after the trial ended.

DoJ doesn't know why? Do they read their own reports.

Sniff, sniff.... smells like political witch hunt, maybe for Obama's Investigation into the crimes of the Bush Administration!

re: #119 cliffster

Yeah but you might drink up all the vodka before nightfall, and have none left to burn in the lamp. Scotch makes that a lot less likely ;)

/That depends on who is carrying it.

Realistically, for the cost of a good scotch, you could buy both vodka AND kerosene. Further, 80 proof Scotch isn't so torchable as 100 (or better 200) proof vodka.

re: #118 looking closely

If Obama delivers on his Carter-like platform, his chance of surviving a second term (ie getting elected again) will likely be less than 1-in-4.

I don't care about Obama's chances of survival, what about the USA's chances of surviving Obama?

re: #129 Occasional Reader

I think you're inverting cause and effect.

First they drank the scotch; THEN decided that food made from sheep's stomach was a really good idea.

Like P.J. O'Rourke said about peat moss: God only put peat in Celtic countries because He knew that the Celts wouldn be the only people on Earth who would get drunk enough to try to burn mud.

re: #89 Florida Lady

I'm volunteering at McCain/Palin HQ tonight. I'm going to express my frustration with his lack of fighting back.

His bi-partisan tone is going to do nothing but lose him the election.

"Fight for our country!" "Name names!" "Make them famous!"

Or were all those "just words, just speeches?"

Actually, I make fun of scotch as tasting like ass, but yeah good scotch is actually quite nice. Very smooth and drinkable. You just have to fork over so much for a good bottle, I haven't sampled it enough to speak intelligently about it.

re: #20 Bogotana

Nah, not really. I don't make any money off my blog -- less than $10 to date! What I am really trying to figure out is whether there is something to this or not. It seems highly suspicious to me that newspapers are purging their websites, but then again, I am not an Internet guru. Figured someone on here could figure it out, though.

Like I told you this morning Bogotana, you are correct, this is being deliberately purged. Obama and his supporters are moving heaven and earth with any strong arm tactics they can find to get anything "derogatory" or that might be seen as negative deep-sixed.

This article reveals far too much about Obama and his origins. It must go.

How true. I hope that by now McCain has concluded that the Demorats & the MSM are not his 'Dear Friends" any longer. He & his running mate are being treated disgracefuly.
He needs to toss everything at Obama. Not lies or half truths, the truth is ugly enough.

The very first time I every got drunk was on straight Everclear. I tried to uproot a very large tree with my bare hands.

A few threads back I see LGF was considering the Hillary does a Laughtenberg fantasy based on the presumption that Biden demolishes Palin in the coming debate. Why don't we promote an alternative expectation that Palin will expose the Delaware plagiarist as a pompous ignorant blowhard? Indeed a good performance by Sarah Palin in the face of sexist abuse by the Obama camp would be a good time for Hillary and Bill Clinton to pirouette and endorse John McCain.

Pretty much the only "thrill" associated with drinking something like Everclear is that its illegal in some places. That turns something you'd pretty much never want to drink straight into something alluring to juveniles. The stuff is reasonable if you want to use it to make mixed drinks and such, but if you just want to drink it, you're better off with low-end vodka, which tastes better, is safer, AND cheaper to boot.

Personally, I think Everclear is great. . .for degreasing metal parts, and burning in alcohol lamps!

It is if you just listen to Pelosi without reading/having someone sane read the vote results to you.

Nancy lost a mighty herd of Dems off the reservation; however, it seems that the instructions to the Majority Whip were to NOT PUSH so that Nancy could get enough Repubs on board to slam later.

Again OT, but an important question:

My husband, who is Canadian but a LEGAL US resident, called me earlier, H'd like to come volunteer with me. Is there any reason he couldn't, since he's not a US citizen?

/I know it's okay for illegals to do what they want in this country, but he's legal.

If the worst case scenario materializes and Barry gets elected President, he'll eventually have to make decisions because voting present and taking both sides of issues will not fly. And hopefully, there won't be 4 more years after Americans see that they were duped during the first 4... just like Chicago- Changemeister brought no improvements and no reform to that paradise of high taxes, job losses, corrupt politicians and socialist programs. Unfortunately, the lefties can't see the writing on the wall just yet. They want us to suffer before conceding that the man with the lofty rhetoric has no track record of accomplishments that require political courage.
However, I remain optimistic that war hero will prevail.

BUT if Barry wins, he'll makes us remember Rabbit Bait fondly. We're still paying 30 years later for the Charlie Fox he made of the Mideast. It only took Reagan 4 years or so get the economy turned around. I figure B. Hussein will CF foreign policy for 50 years and the economy for 10.

re: #172 wahabicorridor

I don't think he can give $ either.

But he's put a "Nobama - say no to socialism" bumper sticker on his brand-new car (never thought I'd see THAT happen) as well as a McCain/Palin one. Got lots of positive comments on both at the gas station yesterday.

Not all Canadians are devoted socialists!

re: #15 MandyManners

I didn't see anything that was pro-BHO. They called him a wimp!

No, the argument they're making is that Obama is not responding strongly enough to the Republicans negative campaigning, which in their worldview is what got John Kerry "swiftboated". Big talking point among leftwing media savvy 20 and 30-somethings...

Get a clue people!

Kerry's weak response to the "Swift Boat" allegations probably was the best response he could give, given that they were substantially true.

The more attention he drew to them, the worse things would have been for him.

Meanwhile I think Obama's decades-long association with, employment by, and selection by extreme leftists and radicals is every bit as concerning as Kerry's fictional Congressional testimony, but to far less public attention.

OK stupid stories time.. I went to a party in the Bay Area when i was in college..We got drunk on the beach and I decided that San Fran looked
so close that i could swim there.. So much to the dismay of my buddies I took off swimming to the city at like 2 in the morning...After along time swimming i saw that the city looked just as far away as when i began..
Exhausted I mostly floated on my back till i got back to Alameda..We left the beach at 6am and i realized i lost my wallet somewhere on the beach.
The morale of the story.. you really don't have to be smart to go to College..just a pretty good swimmer when your drunk.

re: #171 Occasional Reader

Wall Street Journal. Pretty sound, although needless to say, very focused on financial matters.

Problem with the Journal is that it is now owned by Ruppert Murdoch. While the editorial page is generally good and they have improved the back of the paper Arts and Leisure coverage that was outstanding in the Sun they are poor on local coverage. NY politics, education etc are only mentioned in passing as occasional features. The Murdoch connection could effect it because of his other interests. For example the Sun could be fiercely honest in covering the repressions in China. Murdoch's outlets are always subject to the suspicion if not the fact of their coverage being slanted to mirror the interests of the owners.

Heh! got this in my email today. Sounds reasonable!

You like facts...stick this on your bulletin board.
George Bush has been in office for 7 1/2 years. The first six the economy was fine.

A little over one year ago:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) the unemployment rate was 4.5%.
4) The DOW JONES hit a record high--14,000
5) Americans were buying new cars, taking cruises, and vacations overseas, living large!

But Americans wanted 'CHANGE'! So, in 2006 they voted in a Democratic Congress and yes--we got 'CHANGE' all right.

In the PAST YEAR:
1) Consumer confidence has plummeted
2) Gasoline is now over $4 a gallon & climbing!
3) Unemployment is up to 5.5% (a 1% increase)
4) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12 TRILLION DOLLARS and prices still dropping;
5) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
6) As I write, THE DOW is probing another low.

$2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS has evaporated from their stocks, bond, and mutual funds investment portfolios.

Yes, in 2006, America voted for change, and we sure got it!

Remember, the president has no control over any of the issues, only congress. The democrat controlled congress.

And what has the democrat congress accomplished in the last two years? Not a damn thing! Stop and think about that for a moment.

NOW THE DEMOCRAT CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT CLAIMS HE IS GOING TO REALLY GIVE US CHANGE ALONG WITH A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS!

JUST HOW MUCH MORE 'CHANGE' DO YOU THINK YOU CAN STAND?

re: #60 Nevergiveup

Everyone I was with last night ( all McCain supporters ) felt he was running one of the all time worst campaigns in history and they are all sick to their stomachs about it.

The campaign was doing great until the Couric interview of Palin, which was an epic fail by the latter. Palin's been muzzled since then. And then the financial crisis hit, at which point McCain went back to his day job as Senator. Since neither McCain nor Palin are showing leadership at this point, the Republicans are broadcasting that no-one is in charge- which I submit is the wrong message to send during a Presidential campaign.
