Lucky Seven?

It seems that everyone is trying to guess how many houses John McCain owns. Even John McCain has to have his staff get back to reporters to answer that question, because he's not sure. The Obama campaign has finally realized that owning seven houses worth over 13 million dollars makes John McCain the true elitist outsider. How much did those shoes cost again John?

How Many Mansions Does John McCain Own?

It seems that I was wrong in my last post when I numbered the McCain residences at 5 or 6. It seems the number is closer to 8 0r 9. If you're interested in checking out the luxurious residences of this non elitist then you should look here. All this from parasitically latching on to the beer heiress and dumping his first wife after her disabling car accident. What a classy guy! And to think that Barack Obama and his wife only finished paying off their student loans a few years ago.

Er...Umm...My Friends

Okay, raise your hands if you're voting for the feeble-minded, flip-flopping old guy. We've all seen the verbal blunders of G.W. Bush over the last 7 years (has it only been 7 years? Seems like 7 friggin' decades!), but do Americans really want another barely coherent rich guy running our country for the next four years? Sure, he wears $500 shoes, owns 5 or 6 houses (I lose track, as the McCains do too, since they forgot to pay the last four years of taxes on their beachfront property in Malibu.) and the McCains spend over $200,000 a year on domestic help, but are those enough qualifications to be president? Oh John. You once had us all fooled into believing that you were some type of "maverick," but now we can all see that you're just a corporate whore, who changes positions with the political wind (sometimes during commercial breaks!) to keep that pot o'gold you crave so much within your sights.

Edwards' Wandering Penis a Problem for Obama?

You just knew it was going to happen. The mainstream media (AKA the barbecue media) just had to somehow connect John Edwards straying penis with the entire Democratic party and Barack Obama in particular. It just never seems to come up that John McCain divorced his first wife, while she was recovering from a serious car accident, to marry the rich beer heiress known as Cindy to parlay his good fortune into a political career. This is the same guy, who was born in Panama and yet is trying (with the aid and abetting of the BBQ media) to portray Barack Obama as "exotic." Watch David Gregory spout his nonsense and cringe.

Kudos to Bob Cesca for the term "barbecue media." His excellent blog is the first place I saw the term being used. I visit his Goddamn Awesome Blog every day. It helps to keep me sane.

Greasy Dino Rossi

So Dino Rossi and his ardent uniformed supporters showed their true colors when a press conference was labeled a private event, so that they could roughly kick out a cameraman, who they said represented the campaign of Christine Gregoire. It seems that the Rossi campaign has a policy of kicking known democratic press people out of his events. All of you folks who have been enjoying the transition from a free America to a police state ruled by paranoia and fear during the two terms under president-select Bush, here is your perfect candidate for Governor of Washington. I have to admit that during the last election I voted for the lesbian Libertarian for Governor. I think this time I'll vote for Gregoire just because Dino Rossi (and his supporters) is such a creep.




Oh, yes...it's public park, but see...we can just call the police and have you to beaten into submission. Resistance is futile.

Breaking the Spell

Daniel C. Dennett speaks about religion as a natural phenomenon and calls for its vigorous examination through the eyes of science. This talk followed a talk by Pastor Rick Warren, bestselling author of A Purpose Driven Life.

Bring on November 4th!

Oh boy. I've been sidelined recently with a parental visit that lasted over two weeks! Meanwhile the political news has been reduced to Paris Hilton, tire pressure gages and breaking news from the National Enquirer that John Edwards had an affair behind the back of his cancerous wife. In the meantime more and more nonsense is spouting forth from anal fissures with names like Ben Stein and Newt Gingrich. Even though I've been quite busy with familial responsibilities lately, I've kept up with my favorite blogs and watched the Countdown show with Keith Olbermann daily. I still don't consider Barack Obama to be the Messiah, but I do think of John McCain as a doddering, wealthy white guy, who will say anything to get elected. I look at him and his trophy wife with her beer fortune and the thought of those two in the White House sends shivers down my spine (to paraphrase Republican Senator Thad Cochran of Mississippi.)

More to come as my life shifts back to normal (whatever that is) and I'm able to try and make some sense out of the wackiness known as Religion and Politics.
