McCain on Roe vs. Wade
Categorized: Politics
Tagged: 2008 Election, Feminism, John McCain, Reproductive Rights, SCOTUS
Of course feminism and women’s rights are about a lot more than just Roe vs. Wade but its still important to remember why winning this election is important to the fundies. Its video like this that makes we wonder how any liberal progressive could ever consider switching to McCain. (h/t Feministing)
Oh yeah, and I’m still alive. Just taking some time to figure out what I’m going to do when I grow up with graduation a month away. Scary.

Tagged: John McCain, Kathleen Sebelius, Libertarian Party, Religious Freedom, Support The Troops, Wacknuttery
Wow, it feels good to be back. I took full advantage of the holiday weekend and totally unplugged from news. I really needed it and I have a clearer head now. It’s something I totally recommend everyone doing. Of course I missed some stuff but nothing that I can’t live without knowing. It is good to be back writing again though so here is the RSS Roundup for everything important that happened in the blogosphere yesterday.
Novak Attacks Gov. Sibelius For Supporting Womens Rights
The other day douchebag of liberty Robert Novak wrote an opinion piece for the Washington Post praising Kansas Democratic Governor Kathleen Sebelius for her strong support for women’s rights and reproductive freedom. I wanted to thank Robert Novak as I don’t think that the nation is aware of the many progressive values and accomplishments of our wonderful Governor. Being from Kansas, Sibelius has been branded a moderate Democrat and I think this article was exactly what she needed to help bolster her progressive image. Glad to see I’m not the only one who thinks so either.
The Rest of The News
- John McCain thinks that the reason American’s are dispirited is because we haven’t passed a trade agreement with Colombia. Yup, that nails it perfectly. It’s not endless pointless war, 4$ gas, an economy in the toilet, and his view of 4 more of the same … it’s that Colombia thing that has us all down. Dumbass.
- Former Republican Bob Barr secures Libertarian Party nomination. There is talk that this could cause problems with McSame but really I’m just happy that the crazy Libertarians have a party. Makes it easier to tell who they are and avoid them.
- John McCain continues to lie and distort about the Webb G.I. Bill that would greatly improve education benefits for our soldiers.
- The Republicans like to tout our all-volunteer army, especially when avoiding responsibility for their deaths and disabilities. Only we don’t actually have an all-volunteer army as thousands of troops have been forced to remain in active duty after their contracts expire. Well, now Democrats are trying to make sure these troops are fairly compensated. lets see how fast the Republicans prove that “Supporting the Troops” is just a bumper sticker.
- A Ford dealership, Keiffe & Sons Ford, in Mojave CA is running an ad that clearly discriminates against non-Christians.
But did you know that 86% of Americans say they believe in God? Since we all know that 86 out of every 100 of us are Christians, who believe in God, we at Keiffe & Sons Ford wonder why we don’t tell the other 14% to sit down and shut up. I guess maybe I just offended 14% of the people who are listening to this message. Well, if that is the case then I say that’s tough, this is America folks, it’s called free speech. None of us at Keiffe & Sons Ford are afraid to speak out. Keiffe & Sons Ford on Sierra Highway in Mojave and Rosamond, if we don’t see you today, by the grace of God, we’ll be here tomorrow.
Ford has been less than concerned about this as well. Well, I this makes my next car purchase that much easier.
- Lieberman apparently compared Pastor Hagee to Moses? I don’t really understand either but I have long ago given up on understanding conservatives and soulless leaches like Lieberman and McCain. Curious though, does that mean that to guys like Lieberman when McCain denounced Hagee’s endorsement (after first seeking it) it’s akin to denouncing Moses? Interesting.
Video Photo Montage of the Day
Michelle Malkin, who is famous for having a fat ass and a … sorry, thats someone else … has surpassed her previous record for stupidity by making the insane connection between celebrities wearing scarves and supporting terrorists. So as a public service I feel the need to expose the other hidden terrorists lovers hiding in Hollywood.
-
- Diane Kruger
-
- Jay Z
-
- Jennifer Garner
-
- Jessica Alba
-
- Jude Law
-
- Lindsay Lohan
Thats after just 5 minutes on Google. I shudder to think how many terrorists loving scarf wearers are lurking out there. I’m going to have to subscribe to Malkins RSS Feed so that she can keep me safe.

RSS Roundup 5-22-08
Categorized: Politics
Tagged: 2008 Election, Barack Obama, John McCain
I want to start out today by apologizing for putting this blog on the back burner the past two weeks. I have been really busy getting a large programming job done by this weekend. The good news is that if everything goes well I will have the front end done today and tomorrow everything will be tested. Of course there will be more functionality as always but the core code will be in place. I’m excited.
I know I always say this but todays RSS Roundup is really short. Thanks for putting up with me.
Obama Gets Specific on What Change Is
- a tax code that rewards work instead of wealth
- a health care plan that guarantees insurance to every American who wants it
- an energy policy that doesn’t rely on buddying up to the Saudi Royal Family and then begging them for oil
- giving every child a world-class education
- ending a war that we never should’ve started
The Little Thats Left
- American prisoners held in Guantanamo Bay have allegedly been abused and tortured at the behest of the Chinese government. Wow, I knew that we flew prisoners to other countries to be tortured but I never thought that we would fall so low as to be one of those countries for someone else. And for China no less. I have no words.
- Myanmar is turning away US aid for cyclone victims.
The Video of the Day
I have been saying all along with my McCain vs. McCain series that there are two John McCain’s. I would have thought that the vast differences between beliefs and positions of the two would have made it obvious. Well, finally the media is starting to wake up to this fact. Thanks Crooks and Liars
For more on the Two McCain’s revelation:
Thats it for today, told you it was a short one. Hope you all have a great day and I’ll try to get out a real story later this afternoon. Depends on how well the coding goes.

Wow, lots to get to today so I won’t waste your time. I did have this dream about a new design and layout for my blog so don’t be surprised if you see something new very soon. Summer would say that I should make the design and use it for one of the many projects I have waiting to be finished. Sounds rational but the dream was about this website. I don’t know how I’ll use it but I do know that it will be one of the first things I work on this week.
Obama Rally draws 70,000+ in Portland
Alright, I know that there are more important things going on in the world than just another campaign rally. It feels like the primary has been going on for years and the last thing people want to read about is some random rally in Portland. Just kidding! 70,000 PEOPLE! Seriously have we ever had such an amazing and exciting time to be a Democrat. Wow. (h/t Crooks and Liars)
McCain has a Serious Lobbyist Issue
After running on his “record” as being “anti-lobbyist” and promising to “clean up” Washington John McCain is developing a real lobbyist problem. A problem in that his campaign is run, staffed, and financed almost entirely by lobbyists. Worse than that several high ranking lobbyists in his campaign have been linked to horrible causes. For more read this from The Carpetbagger Report.
All the News you Need to Know
- The Legislatures in Tennessee are trying to push through a bill to teach the glories of the Bible in public schools. I think that learning about the history of all religions is a good idea, focusing entirely on “the greatest and most popular book in history” in order to teach students “our culture and our highest and best values” isn’t.
- I hadn’t heard this bit of craziness but apparently there is this thing going around about the world ending in 2012 because thats when the Mayan calender ends. Spoiler alert! The world isn’t going to end and here is a good explanation why.
- Four of the Philadelphia police officers were fired after the videotaped beating of three suspects. Several others were demoted and/or suspended. Only four?
- I don’t watch Fox News so I hadn’t heard this but apparently there is a silly smear campaign that Barack Obama is the most liberal Democratic Senator. Sadly this isn’t true.
- Emergency contraception has been approved for over the counter sale in Canada. While here in America the religious right is trying to ban all birth control. * Sigh *
- The Alliance Defense Fund is looking for pastors to knowingly break the law that prevents churches from engaging directly in partisan politics. The goal being to sue to have the rules removed so that they can make the transition into a full blown theocracy easier.

Monday Morning Funnies
Categorized: Politics
Tagged: John McCain, Just For Fun, Mike Huckabee
Happy Monday morning everyone. I’m feeling better and I’m ready to be productive at work tomorrow (I’m writing this Sunday afternoon). This is bound to be a very short issue of our weekly Monday Morning Funnies. Being sick all last week I didn’t read the news much. So I only have a few short things to share.
Huckabee Jokes About Obama Assassination
For the record making off the cuff jokes about the assassination of America’s first serious African-American presidential candidate is not funny. In case you were wondering. In his defense though Huckabee thought that McCain’s “Bomb Iran” song was funny too. So maybe the guy just sick. (h/t Crooks and Liars)
McCain vs. McCain in Video Format
I have a lot of fun with my “McCain vs. McCain” pieces which try to highlight the incredible pandering and flip flopping of John McCain. This video is a great visual reminder of that fact. I’m impressed by the restraint as this video could have easily been much much longer. Video courtesy of Brave New Films.
Chris Matthews Grills Right Winger on Talking Points
The standard formula when a right winger appears on one of these shows is to blindly repeat the parties talking points. If questioned or whenever the other side talks just keep repeating the same points louder and louder until you win. Well, Chris Matthews finally calls one of them on it and its quite fun to watch. (h/t Seeing the Forest)
GodTube Video of the Week
Thats about it for this week. Thanks for reading and as always I really appreciate your comments and emails. Feel free to let me know if something struck you as funny recently.
