I knew Senator Obama was a smart guy, but I had no clue that he had ideas for revamping the Nick - at - Nite line up!
8 years is enough; 8 years is 8 more than we should've had to begin with. Last night should have been a moment of pride for ALL AMERICANS regardless of party affiliation, religious beliefs, or any other factor. For the first time in this nation's history, an African - American male is a major party's nominee for POTUS. If that fact alone doesn't give any "normal" thinking, feeling, historically - aware human being the good chills, there's nothing anyone can do to help; some ignorant you can't fix.
How does Senator McCentury respond? He hopes the phrase "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" will prove to be more than just a cutesy phrase because of the choice of his running mate. For the sake of our nation's determined but battered soul, we must do all we can to prove him wrong. We are excited about last night, we are enthusiastic about last night, but the GOP meets next week. We cannot afford to underestimate their willingness to resort to any means necessary to hang onto power.
Keith, please be careful next week.
#1 "Veep Impact" AKA "Northern Exposure" AKA "Palin Comparison" - I actually saw the whole announcement because I was in a place over my lunch hour that was playing it on their TV. The control I exercised in not guffawing was astounding! The reasons for her selection, as far as I can tell, can be summed up in the following few short phrases: (1) TurdBlossom made him do it. (2) She has a son who joined the Army & is going to Iraq in September (kudos & appreciation for his bravery on that score!) (3) At the risk of sounding like a male chaevinist pig (even though I'm a chick), Senator McCentury thinks he's just scored the disaffected Senator Clinton voter; he really does! They’d met twice before today? That’s a heck of a vetting process there. OK, F.O.O., as promised, as a companion to my Senator McCentury drinking game (a shot of your beverage of choice every time he says "my friends"), here are the rules for my Gov. Palin drinking game! Every time she says these words or a combination thereof, you drink a shot of the beverage of choice: "Senator Clinton", "Geraldine Ferraro", "18 million cracks in the ceiling". With this combination, I would suggest a non – alcoholic beverage of choice. With mine, Diet Coke, my liver will survive; I’ll just have to pee – A LOT!! I really REALLY can’t wait for the VP debate; hell, I can’t wait for ALL the debates! Get those VCRs, DVRs, etc. ready for an "n" bomb. Sorry, Keith & Howard, I have to disagree with you about the Gov. Palin selection motive; I saw the announcement today. Senator McCentury & the good governor are all over the "go after the pi$$ed off chicks" memo. If you don’t believe me, and you get a chance to catch a repeat of the end of Hardball, check out the blond lady toward the end – only at least 45 minutes after you’ve eaten. SCARY $HIT!! I can’t believe I’m actually saying this, but I may have to listen to "the comedian" next week; every time "he" talks about Gov. Palin, "he" creams his jeans, I swear! Also, at least to me, her selection only reinforces the age issue; side by side, she looks like she could be his granddaughter. Hey! I played point guard at times because I can dribble comfortably either right – handed or south – paw! People eat moose?! I had no idea. I’ve seen moose up close & personal; they are big & stinky. There’s not a whole lot of fat there, so Bullwinkle meat might not be so good.
#2 "Mile High Salute" AKA "Speaking Engagement" AKA "High Definition" - Senators Obama & Biden are in Beaver, PA tonight?! OK... mentally insert your own joke about the town name here. I’ll wait... How could the GOP respond to last night – really?! I mean without looking like total bone heads, of course. I think it was a little of both a "living room" thing & a "football stadium" thing. When shots of the crowd weren’t being shown, I felt like Senator Obama was speaking to me.
**Ugh...can you imagine the stickyness of them maters on a hot humid day? I hope none of them maters were the Sam – An’ - Ella maters! Aw! Look at the baby elephant! Poor little thing was probably scared to death, so don’t give it too much of a hard time for charging!**
***OK, F.O.O., I can’t sit through the Michael Moore interview. I know I’m probably in the minor minor minority in this attitude in these parts, but I don’t like him – AT ALL! His abrasive in – your – face attitude about GWB helped to galvanize right wing nutjobs to go to the polls in 2004 and for powerful right wing nutjobs to do whatever shenanigans they did in Ohio in 2004 to help GWB win. The way to get people to at least understand (if not agree) with you is NOT to make them angry, make them look stupid, or put them on the defensive. Michael Moore did all that; Michael Moore does all that. So, whenever I look at him or see him on TV, I want to throw a brick at it. I place as much blame on the 2004 election results on him as much if more so than the fact that Senator Kerry was a weak candidate.***
WPITW – Here’s more about Page Six ilk. What a shocker. FAUX News analysts have super – secret information about Gov. Palin’s foreign policy credentials. Senator McCentury thinks Iraq is peaceful & stable. Did he say that before or after asking a soldier’s mother to be his running mate? Did Gov. Palin ever catch that "100 years" remark? I wonder what her attitude is about his attitude about the new GI Bill? Knowing her "creds" on the hot – button conservative issues, she & her hubby are probably rich enough to be able to send their kids to college anyway. F*ck the poor soldier’s family who cannot.
#1 "Mile High Salute" - I like Spike Lee’s shirt! Considering where I live, I should get me one of them & wear it the next time I visit my uber – basketball fan but uber – Dem hating father! Oh, there’s Senator Kennedy. Man, that f*ckin’ rocked! There’s our next First Lady. I’d drink a Diet Coke with her; I’d even buy her Diet Coke. I want those girls to tear up the White House! That train whistle had to be LOUD. What was all the damn yielding the other day? I missed that. Oh, I just LOVE Senator Biden’s "Freudian slip"!! The MSNBC panel has the groove in them – too funny!! I have the ultimate faboo fundraising idea for the Obama/Biden ’08 general election efforts. Senator Obama’s speech from last night and Senator Biden’s speech from the night before last (with intros & video tributes included) should be on a DVD. For a moderate donation ($25 or so), you get the DVD. I WOULD BUY THAT! Speaking of buying stuff, any word on those "Countdown to Change" T – shirts with Keith’s faboo mug on them?! I’ve appealed to MSNBC’s greed via email at least 3 times. I WANT ONE OF THOSE SHIRTS!!
