Hey world! What do you think? Obama or McCain?

Here at home in the United (yet completely divided) States, the polls are showing that we have a real barn-burner of a presidential election going on. But have you ever stopped to think about how the international community feels? I mean, who we elect as President can have a pretty significant impact on their daily hubbub as well. So what does the world think? We know they were less than thrilled when we 'elected' the big W in 2000, and most thought the US should be declared clinically insane when we decided to double-down on our idiocy in 2004. But now, in 2008, we are guaranteed someone new - well, one of them is pretty freaking old - but you get the point. Thankfully, our media pals across the pond, the BBC, were wondering the same thing and polled 22 countries over the course of July and August to find out the international opinion. So, what did they think?

Well, of the 22 nations polled, only 22 said they would prefer Obama to be the next US President over McCain. That's 22 nations that are just asking to get destroyed by the McCain/Give me a P! - give me an A! - give me an L! - give me an I! - give me an N! - ticket, should they be victorious in November.

But it was close, right? It was extremely close, with 12% favoring McCain, and Obama just a few ticks ahead at 49%. The other 39% of the world thinks we're already a lost cause and are currently urinating on the US dollar and laughing maniacally.

Clearly the world is biased, sexist, and in the tank with Obama and all of his lying, cheating supporters. So what if 100% of the countries in the world think Obama would be the better pick, 100% of the world is wrong. The only thing this poll shows is that foreigners are stupid. USA! USA! USA!

The countries involved in the over 22,000 person GlobeScan conducted poll were Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Egypt, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Kenya, Lebanon, Mexico, Nigeria, Panama, the Philippines, Poland, Russia, Singapore, Turkey, the UAE, Britain.

John McCain knows where at least 4 of those countries are, but would not commit to speaking with leaders of any of them.

Sarah Palin is set loose to speak for herself

I'll keep this short, because there is literally nothing I can say to even explain this.  This video from CNN shows us what we've all been waiting for...Sarah Palin - UNSCRIPTED!  And oh my God, did she deliver.  This is her response to a question regarding potential export bans on newly drilled US oil at a town hall forum in Grand Rapids, MI.  This masterpiece may rival Ms. South Carolina.  Please feel free to watch multiple times.

What do the people want?  A transcript you ask?  Well, a transcript you shall receive my good people.

TRANSCRIPT:
"Oil and coal? Of course, it's a fungible commodity and they don't flag, you know, the molecules, where it's going and where it's not. But in the sense of the Congress today, they know that there are very, very hungry domestic markets that need that oil first," Palin said. "So, I believe that what Congress is going to do, also, is not to allow the export bans to such a degree that it's Americans that get stuck to holding the bag without the energy source that is produced here, pumped here. It's got to flow into our domestic markets first."

I believe there is not a need for me to say anything else.

Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild - A former Clinton supporter - to endorse McCain

In a stunning move sure to ruffle the DNC's feathers, Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a former Hillraiser who rounded up over $100,000 for the Hillary Clinton campaign will now be endorsing senator John McCain. Forester de Rothschild, who is the CEO of EL Rothschild, a holding company with businesses around the world is married to international banker Sir Evelyn de Rothschild. In an interview with CNN this summer, Lady Forester de Rothshild stated the following as her reason for not shifting her support to Barack Obama: “This is a hard decision for me personally because frankly I don't like him. I feel like he is an elitist."

And Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild knows an elitist when she see's one. she can spot one from her 3,200-acre Rothschild family estate in Buckinghamshire, or from her tiny little condo (probably a studio) in New York. She could spot an elitist when she honeymooned at the White House in 2000, and she can spot one now. So she fits right in line with John McCain who has long called Obama an elitist. I mean, seriously, how elitist can this guy get? He's had every advantage in the world; he's a black male, who grew up without a father, was bounced around from Kansas, to Hawaii, to Indonesia in his youth, and was paying off student loans up until a few years ago. ELITIST!

Meanwhile, Obama was endorsed yesterday by 6 Women's Rights Groups: The Feminist Majority Foundation, the National Organization for Women, Business and Professional Women/USA, the National Association of Social Workers, the National Congress of Black Women and the Women's Information Network.

Were you aware of any of that? No? Well, apparently neither were many of the major media outlets in the nation. CNN, who has highlighted the Lady Forester de Rothshild endorsement has as of today, failed to make note of it. Not that the opinions of tens of thousands of women can even come close to the importance of the opinion of Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild. If you'd like to know more about Lady Rothschild, have a read of the below article which prefaced an interview she did with Politico.com - you'll clearly see that we need to listen to this women about how much of an elitist Obama is. I pasted the story directly as the link is a little funky and makes your computer want to cry. I'll keep checking CNN Tabloid news to see if they care to mention those 6 women's rights groups.

From Politico.com

When 67-year-old British banking scion Sir Evelyn Rothschild first set eyes on 44-year-old Lynn Forester at the 1998 Bilderberg conference—the matchmaker was none other than Henry Kissinger—she was already a woman of major means.A corporate lawyer and telecommunications entrepreneur, the sparkly blond ex-wife of former New York politician Andrew Stein had made more than $100 million from the sale of cleverly acquired wireless broadband licenses. She was also sexy, charming, and dazzlingly well connected. Two years later, after the smitten Sir Evelyn divorced his second wife, Victoria Schott, the mother of his three children, Forester became the third Lady Rothschild.

After marrying in November 2000 at a London synagogue, they honeymooned at the White House, guests of Lynn's good friends Bill and Hillary Clinton.Today the New Jersey-born Lady de Rothschild—the flashiest hostess in London—is mates with Tony and Cherie Blair, among other topflight Britons. She's also mistress of the former John Singer Sargent home in Chelsea and of Ascott House, the 3,200-acre Rothschild family estate in Buckinghamshire, and the chief executive of E.L. Rothschild, the holding company that she owns with her third husband to manage investments in the Economist and various enterprises in India. Those include FieldFresh, a startup that will grow and export Indian fruits and vegetables for markets in Europe and Asia, and a soon-to-be-announced retail venture aimed at the exploding Indian middle class.

In July, Sir Evelyn completed the sale of his stake in the centuries-old English branch of the Rothschild banking empire (for a reported $600 million)—which frees up a lot of capital for them to be major players in the Indian business world.

Obama is going to tax the crap out of you...

According to recent polls, 53% of Americans think that Senator Barack Obama's Tax plan would mean an increase in taxes for them.  The McCain Campaign thinks so, and rightfully so since John and Cindy...yeah, they'd be dishing out a few extra Benjamins.  But the big question is, what would Obama's plan mean to your finances.  Unfortunately for those of us who aren't blue collar grease monkeys or white collar middle-management wastoids, it looks like we'd be paying a little more.  And so would the big-ass corporations we've worked so hard to build, on shipping jobs overseas or paying illegals a "special" minimum wage.  But all you lazy asses making less than about $250,000 a year, will sadly be handed a tax cut - in most cases - especially for those just north of being hobos -  you will get a bigger tax cut than John McCain will give you.  You see, John McCain knows that when we help the rich get richer, that eventually all you riff-raff out there will get your trickle down from those of us who aren't retards.  So while Obama might give the whining middle class a few extra bucks so they can buy groceries, if you're making your millions, Obama will tax the crap out of you, and you can kiss that 3rd jet-ski at your 4th vacation home in Cape Cod goodbye.  

So, if you must, follow the link to see how much or how little the Obama Tax plan would save you.  And then get a better job you lazy sacks of middle class meat.

Millions of deceptive absentee ballots sent to registered democrats by McCain Campaign

Well, as much as I want this to be a humor blog, there are some things that I just won't joke about (at least yet) because they are too serious and important. Voters rights are getting played like a fiddle, and regardless of who you want to vote for, the process should be done fairly.

Reports are surfacing today about the McCain campaign sending out millions of absentee voter ballots to registered Democrats. Stupid Republicans, Right?

WRONG! Smart Republicans.

So why would the McCain campaign send out these pro-McCain absentee ballots to registered democrats? Well, buckle-up kiddies and come along for the ride!

As much as i wish this was a joke, these are not phony absentee ballots, they are legit - which is the problem. These absentee ballots, which feature very pro-McCain images and references, may seem like they are trying to sway Democrats to vote for McCain, but that is not the case. They want you to fill out the absentee ballot for Obama. But Why would the McCain Campaign want people to vote for Obama? Here's where it gets fun...

These ballots have a small box (not required by law) for the absentee voter to check if they confirm they are legally able to vote. This box, however, is easy to miss and is not on normal absentee ballots.

HOW IT WORKS: These ballots were sent specifically to registered democrats in most cases. The idea is that the democratic recipients will put in an absentee ballot for Obama, but if they don't catch the little box (which is not on standard ballots, but is legal) then their vote cannot legally be counted. In addition to this deceiving (but apparently legal) tactic, the return addresses on many of these ballots are to the wrong county clerks office, so once completed and returned by the voter, they go to the wrong place. This means once again, the absentee ballot can become null and void, without the voter even knowing. So, you think you've placed your absentee ballot for Obama, but in reality, you've just had your vote stolen and wasted by a forced technicality. Is this really happening? Yes. Is it illegal? It's really tip-toeing the line.

Whether you are a Republican or Democrat, you should be upset about this, because it is abusing your right as an American Voter. This is an extremely dirty tactic trying to play off the ignorance of the American people. As the day goes on, reports are starting to surface of this mailing campaign hitting more and more states. Several links are below, with literally thousands of others to be found if you do a search. Some are from traditional news sources and some are from blogs, but I tried to keep it to blogs that are generally considered legit.

There's already an interesting twist in Hamilton, OH, where the county clerk (a registered Democrat) has already found close to a thousand votes that could not legally be counted, because that little box wasn't checked. Now, the McCain Camp is pissed that this county clerk wants to return the ballots to voters so they can check the box, claiming she is tampering with votes. So, not only are they putting out these deceptive ballots, but they are also trying to blame the Democrats. With the election 2 months away, it is already trying to be stolen. Go ahead and call it a conspiracy theory if you want, but this is the real deal. Please be very careful when voting, especially if you are voting absentee. Everyone, regardless of whom they want to vote for, should have their ballot counted fairly. I would hope despite our differences that we could at least agree on that.

Sarah Palin - Now in Action Figure form

About a week ago I wrote a blog about Caribou Barbie Sarah Palin, talking about how she's pretty much a super-hero. Today, a link sent by a friend confirmed my belief. Sarah Palin now joins the Ranks of Spiderman, Batman, GI Joe, Barbie and Skipper, with her very own series of Action figures! Check it out -

http://www.herobuilders.com/08.htm

These people are really onto something. They should make an entire Caribou Barbie playset. Palin will come complete with a shotgun in one hand and a bible in the other, decked out in designer glasses and a "hot for teacher" business suit - all removable of course, for your inner non-partisan perv. She'll come with tons of play money (from play pork barrels) and her very own team of lawyers to fend off any nasty inquisitions into abuse of power.

Coming soon is the Caribou Barbie Eco playset - complete with a play helicopter for hunting wolves! This massive playset will feature tons of endangered species for you to kill of at your own discretion! It also comes with 17 feet of flexible oil pipelines! Put your oil pipelines wherever you want. Block off a baby moose from it's mother and watch it cry! Stick an oil rig right through a beluga whales face and laugh away while it screams! Yeah!!!!!

Note: Caribou Barbie Eco playset no longer comes with simulated global warming - because global warming isn't real.

And coming just in time for Christmas or Hanukkah (if your a sinner who won't accept Jesus as your lord) new action Todd Doll. Action Todd can clap his hands, ride a snowmobile, or do both at the same time!!!!! Yeah!!!!!

And in stores now - New Talking Sarah Palin Doll. Just pull the chord and she'll say the damnedest things in an accurately obnoxious back-country accent! Here's some samples -

"I'm a hockey mom, don't ya know."
"I'm a pit bull, but with lipstick"
"I'm all for the bridge to nowhere"
"Fuck that bridge to nowhere"
"Todd, can you watch the kids, while I play make-believe with the country?"
"Mmm, do I smell Pork for dinner?"
"I'm gonna shatter that glass ceiling and then stick the shards in a bunch of Muslims"
"I'm a reformer."
"Who's Thomas Jefferson? I went to school with a Walter Jefferson. You think they're related?"
"Back off bitch...I was in the PTA."

And this is just a small sample of the thousands of things your Sarah Palin doll can say.

Note: Talking Sarah Palin does not answer questions. She can only say what she's programmed to say.


---God, I hope someone makes this (I of course say this as a prayer, not taking the lords name in vain)

***Thanks to my friend Mere for the link...even if she is a filthy liberal.

The Real Candidates of Change...

Apparently the real candidates of change, McCain and Palin, are able to be change agents without actually changing a thing - like their staff.
