Can Illinois Get A Governor That Isn't A Crook?

And Blago gets taken into Federal custody today. Apparently this has something to do with Blagojevich looking to pad his pockets and gets some favors from the person who is to replace President Obama as Senator. It also appears to that he has been recorded on the phone doing this.

Your Blowing It Obama

Why! Why! Why! Bill Richardson as Commerce Sec.? Maybe he will be good at it, but why put someone as Sec of State who disagrees with you on the most important foreign policy issue of our time, and then put someone with Richardson's experience in foreign policy and energy as Commerce Sec? Oh, and Richardson wasn't for the invasion of Iraq either. So very disappointed.

al Qaida #2 Just More Blah Blah Blah

This election must have been tough for the brain trust of al Qaida to spin. But, they have put their collective heads together and come out with one. They are really stretching here.

Al-Zawahiri can be heard saying, "In you and in Colin Powell, [Condoleezza] Rice and your likes, the words of Malcolm X (may Allah have mercy on him) concerning 'house Negroes' are confirmed."

You know your message is in trouble when you resort to "house negro".

Alaskans Do What Fellow Members Of Senate Couldn't

Alaskans appear to have told Ted Stevens to have a nice day. As the recount in the Alaska Senate race comes to an end, it looks like Ted "Tubes" Stevens has been voted out of office. Members of the Senate(who probably knew he was going to lose) sat by and did nothing cause they didn't want to get their hands dirty. So to the people who gave us Sarah Palin, I say welcome back!

Thank You America For Not Putting Palin A Heartbeat Away

If you really needed more proof that Sarah Palin was nowhere near qualified to be a heartbeat away from the Presidency, listen to FOX. Yes, FOX.

We’re told by folks that she didn’t know what countries that were in NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement, that being the Canada, the US, and Mexico. We’re told she didn’t understand that Africa was a continent rather than a country just in itself

YIKES! And let's remember, she comes from a state that may have just re-elected a convicted felon. That is until Palin makes herself a Senator. So I say again, Thank You America!!!

Why Ralph Nader Doesn't Matter

Well, when I am on the side of FOX News, that usually doesn't bode well for him. And I have said it before, Shep is too classy for fox.

Proud American, Chicagoan and Democrat

And I mean me, not President-Elect Obama. Last night was a night I will never forget. And Frank was right, Chicago IS, my kind of town! Time has put together a nice collection of photos from last night.

Mr President

Let The Flipping Begin

Ohio, New Mexico and soon Florida and possibly Indiana, Virginia and North Carolina. Can you say electoral landslide?

Live Cam Of Obama Rally.

The Chicago Sun Times has a live cam set up to see the goings on at Grant Park and the Obama celebration(I hope) tonight.

My Vote Has Been Baracked!

I just got back from voting, and damn, it feels good. Even with the paper ballots and felt tip pens. I only hope if Obama wins, he can keep this feeling going. Only time will tell.

Times Video Another Attempt To Distract Voters

If McCain/Palin had a dollar for every different strategy their campaign has used in the last few weeks, they could buy Palin another wardrobe. The latest attack by the McCain campaign, cause his campaign lacks any direction or leadership for America, is to now talk about a video that the LA Times reported on last April. This isn't an October surprise, it's another failing attempt by McCain to cover up the fact that his campaign has been a huge failure.

And, since we are talking about this now, why is no one completing the story? Hmm, damn liberal bias.

During the 1990s, while McCain served as chairman of the International Republican Institute, the group distributed several grants to the Palestinian research center co-founded by Khalidi, including a $448,873 grant in 1998 to his Center for Palestine Research and Studies for work in the West Bank.

And, since 1993, when McCain joined IRI as chairman, the group funded several studies run by Khalidi's group in the Palestinian territories, including more than 30 public opinion polls. Khalidi helped found the center, "an independent academic research and policy analysis institution."

But by all means, let's focus on ONE dinner instead of a 15 year relationship McCain has had with this same person. This is just another example of McCain calling out Obama for something, when he has done the same or worse. How many faces of John McCain are there?

Let's Just F'n Vote Already

In Case Some Forgot During This Time Of Negativity

It's Official, al Qaida Backs McCain

Why? Cause he will continue the failed policies of Bush:

"This requires presence of an impetuous American leader such as McCain, who pledged to continue the war till the last American soldier," the message said. "Then, al-Qaida will have to support McCain in the coming elections so that he continues the failing march of his predecessor, Bush."

Let's see how Sarah Palin feels about al Qaida supporting her and the hero!

Remember The $400 Haircut The Right Went Nuts About?

Well, how about the regular ole small town hockey mom getting a $150,000 wardrobe? Anyone else in small town America able to afford a wardrobe like that or shop at these stores?

Over the month of September, more than $75,000 was spent in a single shopping spree at Neiman Marcus in Minneapolis, and $50,000 in forays into Saks Fifth Avenue in New York and St Louis, on a procession of neat little waisted jackets, pencil skirts, killer boots and patent heels that have enabled Ms Palin to appear in at least one, and sometimes two or three, new outfits a day.

Just more of that regular person act that falls apart when the facts come out. Kind of like the son of a multi-millionaire former President who went to Yale and then was handed business after business and eventually the keys to the White House, while claiming he was a regular guy. And just like the businesses and sports teams he ruined, he ruined our Country. Wake up Republicans, and start to vote your interest and not your dreams of being Bill Gates!

For Republicans Who Have A Problem With Terrorist Connections...

You already voted three times for a family with ties to terrorist #1, Bin Laden. How's that glass house?

Hey Sen McCain, How's Patriotic Friend G. Gordon Liddy?

I came across this little article in the Chicago Tribune from MAY 2008 in which the issues of the Obama/Ayers and McCain/Liddy relationships were discussed. Again, this is from MAY 2008, five months ago. Maybe, just maybe, if people weren't so lazy and did a little reading and searching on the internet, they could actually find some of those pesky answers they seek.

But in case they are still too lazy, here is a little clip of the patriotic friends that the hero John McCain hangs with.

(Chi Trib) "Now if the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms comes to disarm you and they are bearing arms, resist them with arms. Go for a head shot; they're going to be wearing bulletproof vests. ... Kill the sons of bitches."

Wow, almost sounds like a domestic terrorist to me?

All this shows is that if you look hard and long enough at anyone in politics, eventually you will find some undesirables in their lives. Also, it shows that at some point in my life and your life, we have been unhappy with our Country. So let's drop the BS issues and get back to the important ones like the economy, two wars, health care and that crazy problem of energy independence, okay?

Voter Fraud, Or More Scare Tactics By Bush, McCain and The Right?

Remember that whole firing of the A.G. from New Mexico because he wouldn't investigate what he, David Iglesias a Republican, said were bogus voter fraud claims? And remember how many on the left said doing this was wrong only to be told we were overreacting? Is it any wonder that weeks before the election, members of the D.O.D. illegally leak information about "possible" voter fraud and New Mexico is screaming again? Almost seems like it is a prepared strategy?

Why Can't They Show This Humility More?

Even McCain was ready for the Comedy Central dais. Nicely done to both candidates! Kind of funny that the McCain clip is from FOX and the Obama clip is from MSNBC.
