So here’s some ideas on how to spend the money. First, let the big 3 fail and restructure, and get rid of those unions.

Although the title should read: “Palin Endorses Obama, succumbs to Jungle Fever”.

Now there are questions as to how the scarf got around her neck as she wasn’t wearing it during her speech. Apparently, someone in the crowd gave it to her as she was walking past them and put it on? Yes, this could happen to anyone really, but it’s funny all the more that its her. Maybe she knew what it was and intended to take it home for target practice? That or she just can’t suppress her deep feelings and desires for Obama? She got the fever?

That there were donkeys on the scarf never registered with Whittaker as he was transmitting his photos to Getty. “I didn’t even notice it myself until you guys put it up,” he says. “When I saw your blog, I was just like any typical reader who thought, ‘That’s pretty funny.’”

All I can say is man, this guy’s a stud. Having an affair with an affairee over your affairrer? Double dipping, burning the candle at both wicks. Which beings me to a question here. Ever notice that when Democrats have an affair, they get caught with a woman, or several. But when Republicans get busted, it’s usually the material for the midday talkshows? Busted in bathrooms with other men, or running around D.C. after 16 year old pages. What gives? It seems that while both sides have nothing to hold their heads up against, the Dems do rank a few points higher on the family right wing values scale. They’re at least doing it with women.

Sorry, couldn’t resist, just an observation, it’s 1:30am and I’m sleepy….

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — A married congressman who faces accusations that he had an affair with a former aide and paid her to keep quiet about it also was having an affair with a second woman around the same time, a person close to his campaign told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

Details of the second affair came hours after Democratic U.S. Rep. Tim Mahoney held a news conference to address a story, first reported by ABC News, that he had been involved with the former aide. Mahoney acknowledged he had caused “embarrassment and heartache” to his family but denied doing anything illegal.

The Associated Press: Fla. Congressman said to be involved in 2nd affair.

Straight to the point. This is a very important lesson. This approach has served me and my close friends very well. And learn more about this type of culture.

The Battle in the Bayou is set for tonight ……..

McCain blinks after Obama calls his bluff. And to think that McCain thought he could get away with this stunt. After is was clearly visible that he was politicizing the campaign suspension and that he had absolutely significant value to the economic crisis that he can claim, he regrettably will go to the debate kicking and screaming. 

I’m breaking out the popcorn for this one. I think this debate will define the election and determine who will go to the White House. I think McCain showed some real bad judgement and fumbling, and grandstanding and it backfired. While Obama played it cool and level headed. The point was simple. Congress already has enough key folks working on this, probably too many, and adding to that number would be more negative than positive, as we’ve recently seen. McCain couldn’t even do anything with own party, so what does he plan to do as president?

What I want to hear tonight is each persons direct beliefs, and plans, and why their plans for major issues facing this country. The economy and regulation, healthcare, education, infrastructure, energy, small business support, taxes, government intrusion into personal lives, the church and state debate, national security, political reform and our judicial system. And I will be posting my beliefs and what should be done on each of these shortly.

Senator John McCain’s campaign said Friday morning that he will attend tonight’s debate with Senator Barack Obama at the University of Mississippi, reversing his earlier call to postpone the debate so he could participate in the Congressional negotiations over the $700 billion bailout plan for financial firms.

Moments after Senator McCain ended several of days of suspense and announced that he would participate in the debate after all, the doors of his campaign plane were opened and the steps were down, as Mr. Obama’s 757 idled nearby on the runway at Ronald Reagan National Airport outside Washington, according to a pool report. Both planes were set to arrive in Memphis on Friday afternoon.

McCain Will Participate in the Debate - NYTimes.com.

Really, this campaign has gone too far. Now they had a ad on WSJ Online showing that he won the debate. Ar these folks for real? The add has since been removed, but the Washington Post has a full screenshot of it. But I’m posting here in case it disappears from there too. I mean, how bold are these folks anyway. Posting an ad that you’ve won a debate that you ducked out of? Posting an ad that you’ve won a debate that hasn’t taken place yet? The Obama campaign should totally pounce on this. Not to mention that since he suspended his campaign, McCain still found the time to stop over NY to give a speech at an event, before going “directly” to Washington to “lead” the initiative to solve the crisis. And also, for the debate, it only requires six hours of his time. Two hours to fly to the debate, two hours to debate,and two hours to fly back to Washington to “lead” the crisis bailout. He’d be back in Washington really quick. Besides, isn’t the debate where you’d want to get your message out to the people and how you differ from your candidate?

So from Senator John McCain’s book, “Worth The Fighting For”, he candidly tells what for him anyway, running for president is all about. It’s also in audio book for, so you can hear in his own voice, what’s written below. In his own words and voice, he explains that it’s not about the American people, it’s all about him. I guess this explains why he’s abandoned his principles over the years and caved. It’s all about going to the White House, a personal triumph. 

 ”I didn’t decide to run for President to start a national crusade for the political reforms I believed in or to run a campaign as if it were some grand act of patriotism. In truth, I wanted to be president because it had become my ambition to be president. I was sixty-two years old when I made the decision and I thought it was my one shot at the prize”

And the Palin saga continues. First she’s paraded around the party like a trophy wife, now she’s being treated like someone’s daughter who needs to be protected, seen but not heard. She’s supposed to be running for the V.P. position of the United States, but every time a reporter asks a question, someone from the camp jumps in. Do they expect her to just go to the White House without any public scrutiny and appearances? Actually, I think they do. 

Here’s what happened. McCain used his “maverick” sense of judgement and picked Gov. Palin exclusively for these reasons:

1. she’s a woman and he’s targeting the Hillary supporters
2. she’s an extreme right wing conservative and appeals to the Flat Earth Society
3. she has no experience so when she’s in the VP position, she can be shuffled off to give speeches about bridges and family values to misguided, friendly crowds while McCain returns to the center and let’s his lobbyists run the White House

This is what happens when campaigns let reporters into photo ops.  They get all uppity and ask questions.

From the pool report account of what happened after McCain and Palin’s meeting with Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvilli and Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko:

McCain then looked around the room and gestured as if to welcome questions. The AP reporter shouted a question at Gov. Palin (“Governor, what have you learned from your meetings?”) but McCain aide Brooke Buchanan intervened and shepherded everybody out of the room.

Palin looked surprised, leaned over to McCain and asked him a question, to which your pooler thinks he shook his head as if to say “No.”

Jonathan Martin’s Blog: Palin gets question, looks to McCain, demurs - Politico.com.

A bit of an exaggeration? Why doesn’t the news media call this stuff out? Why does this have to bubble up from the blogosphere first? It seems that Sen. McCain had nothing to do with it. He assumed the Commerce Committee chairman ship right after the changes were made. But since he showed up and didn’t reverse it, I guess he can claim credit for it. And the usual comes up about him and his staff. folks admit that is staff was too cozy with lobbyists. Wow, that’s a shocker.

To those who express doubts about his economic acumen, John McCain has a simple answer: “I was chairman of the Commerce Committee, which oversights all of the commercial aspects of America’s economy,” he said in a “60 Minutes” interview that aired Sunday.

It’s a bit of an exaggeration — the Senate Commerce Committee doesn’t have primary jurisdiction over the financial services industry, which is at the heart of today’s economic crisis — and it’s also a more complicated story than McCain’s declaration might suggest.

McCain wielded the gavel at the Commerce Committee from 1997 to 2001 and again from 2005 to 2007. Supporters credit him with being open-minded and say he ran the committee with a steady, moderate hand during his stints in the chair. But critics who worked with the committee at the time contend that McCain avoided policy debates and sometimes seemed apathetic — and that his staff was too cozy with lobbyists.

One thing is certain: McCain’s tenure is not as simple to encapsulate as McCain’s economic adviser, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, tried to make it seem last week, when he held up a BlackBerry and credited its invention to McCain’s work on the committee. In fact, McCain voted against key legislation that paved the device’s way.

“Being the chair of that committee is very, very important,” said former Federal Communications Commission Chairman Reed Hundt, who served for nine months with McCain at the helm of Commerce and now advises the Obama campaign. “And if it were true that John McCain had championed the opening up of new markets or technology, that would be a good thing. It just is not true.”

BlackBerry creation is not the only questionable claim the McCain campaign has made about his work on the committee.

“Under John McCain’s guiding hand,” his website states, “Congress developed a wireless spectrum policy that spurred the rapid rise of mobile phones and Wi-Fi technology.”

But a former FCC senior staffer, who would talk candidly only if not quoted by name, called this a serious overstatement, noting that the nascent wireless spectrum was first made available in 1985, and that the FCC increased its size for “unlicensed national information infrastructure devices” in January 1997 — just as McCain was assuming the chairmanship.

Now red the full article, especially when the Heritage Foundation, the conservative think tank chimes in with their comments. 

As chairman, McCain left mixed legacy - Politico.com Print View.

Ron Paul nails it with his assessment that with this bailout, we are just prolonging the inevitable recession. The choice is really a short recession or a long recession. If we liquidize the bad debt, let the market set the value of distressed properties, just like when Lehman Brothers went under. When the price gets low enough, it will be eventually bought. By providing this bailout, we’re prolonging the inevitable by propping up home prices and financing continuous building when there is too much inventory in the first place. And in all honesty, the value of these assets aren’t low enough, when they are, they will be bought on the open market.

Hopefully, congress will have the strength that if they do a bailout, they will pay as little as possible for these assets. And with Goldman converting to a bank, they will have access to capital through the discount window, and they will lend money just like any other bank.

I just had this vision of Eddie Murphy as Buckwheat reading a bedtime story to children titled, “Palin Goes to the City”. Please SNL, bring back Eddie just to do that skit. And then another skit of Tina Fey playing Palin sitting at a school desk with just the teacher learning where the other major countries are. “No, No, this is Canada, not eastern Alaska” as he points over Calgary.

But anyway, Mrs. Palin is venturing to the big city, to go in a big building, with a lot of important people. What do you think she will do, children? Will she piss of the world community? Will she talk about her bridge to nowhere that she turned down? How about family values and starting families early.

BTW, Sarah, call me if you need directions to the U.N., even I’ve been there before. Oh, add that to my list of why I’m more qualified than you (see earlier post).  Add oddly enough, for some strange reason, the media was kept away as much as possible. For a V.P. candidate that is qualified to step in as president, they sure keep her under wraps, don’t they? I can’t wait for the VP debates. I’m actually looking forward to that more than Obama/McBush.

Talking Georgia With Kissinger | 4 p.m. Gov. Sarah Palin wrapped her first day of motorcade diplomacy with a 90-minute meeting with Henry Kissinger, where they spoke about Georgia.

Ms. Palin and Mr. Kissinger sat on blue couches, separated by an end table with photographs of President Nixon and President Reagan on it. As photographers were led in, Mr. Kissinger could be heard saying that he gave someone “a lot of credit for what he did in Georgia,” according to a reporter who was allowed to watch.

“Good, good,’’ Ms. Palin said. “And you’ll give me more insight on that, also, huh? Good.”

The photographers were ushered out. When Ms. Palin emerged from the building, a news producer asked her how it went, and she mouthed the words, “It was great.”

Palin in the City - The Caucus Blog - NYTimes.com.

Well, well, well. Not only is she not qualified to be the Vice President, she doesn’t even show up for her current job. We keep hearing “While I was in Alaska as governor….” Well, what exactly did you do with your 15% attendance record of going into the office. I’m sure the Flat Earth Society will quickly adopt 21st century ideas and jump on the telecommuting bandwagon. Yeah, that’s what she was doing, telecommuting. I mean come on, 15%? We’re talking about 15% in the office? And then she bills the state for expenses related to staying home 85% of the time. In a normal environment, as a normal employee, she would have been fired. But oh yeah, she’s qualified. And if you think about it, with that attendance record, she just may be because the White House has been vacant of any relevant common sense lately anyway.

She doesn’t even show up for her own initiatives, leaving her own party to ask, “where’s the Gov?” What’s really funny is that legislatures got so fed up with it that they even printed buttons saying, “Where’s Sarah” 

Let me guess, she was home preaching family values…

Despite all of the discussion of Sarah Palin’s performance as governor of Alaska, there has been little analysis of the simplest measure of performance: attendance. As Woody Allen said many years ago, “80 percent of success is just showing up.”

The Washington Post recently reported that, in her first 19 months as governor, Palin billed the state of Alaska per diem charges for 312 days she spent at her home in Wasilla. Palin’s staff has explained that it was appropriate to bill the state for expenses related to Palin staying in her own house because her “official duty station” was at the state capital of Juneau, where the governor’s official office and mansion are located. But that argument raises a different question: How much time did that leave for her to spend at her “official duty station”?

Nineteen months totals 578 days, but after subtracting weekends and holidays, it is only about 397 workdays. Assuming Palin did not routinely bill the state for staying in her own home on weekends and holidays, she would have spent no more than 85 workdays in the state capital over the course of her 19 months in office, even if she traveled nowhere else in Alaska or outside of the state. That compares with 168 days that the Alaska Legislature was in session during the same period.

Microsoft’s ‘I’m a PC’ Ads Created On Macs — RoughlyDrafted Magazine
This is just priceless. The “I’m a PC” ads from Microsoft are done on a Mac !!! And using Adobe CS3 instead of their own Expression Studio. What were they thinking? And how many people just got fired for letting this happen. Apple should capitalize on this with their own commercial. 

Daniel Eran Dilger
After dumping its $10 million contract with Jerry Seinfeld after just three ads (only two of which even aired) Microsoft has created new ad copy where regular people and a few celebrities say, “I’m a PC!” One problem with the campaign’s credibility: the ad work was created using Macs.
.
Flickr user LuisDS found that metadata on the creative copy of the “stereotyped PC user” and other photos appearing on Microsoft’s “I’m a PC” website revealed that they were produced using Macs running Adobe Creative Suite 3. One might expect that Microsoft would use Windows PCs running its own Microsoft Expression Studio software, which as the company advertises, “takes your creative possibilities to a new level.”

Apparently, neither Windows PCs nor Expression Studio are up to the task of taking on Apple and destroying its globe enshrouding “Get a Mac” campaign. The image of John Hodgman as a troubled PC struggling with Vista-related problems has pushed Microsoft to defend itself with a $300 million campaign to take control of the “conversation about Windows,” using Macs as needed to get the message produced.

When LuisDS checked on the photos again this morning after publishing the metadata details on Flickr last night, he found that Microsoft has scrubbed the revealing details from the work, an effort that also resulted in the 272 KB photo ballooning to 852 KB.

The Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday issued a temporary ban on short sales of 799 financial stocks, a move against traders who have sought to profit from the financial crisis by betting against bank shares. The temporary ban, intended to bring calm to the markets, follows similar action by Britain on Thursday. The S.E.C. said the “temporary emergency action” would “protect the integrity and quality of the securities market and strengthen investor confidence.”

So I ask, when the market returns to “normal”, will short selling be OK again? Exactly when is it OK to bet and assist in the demise of a company and undermine capitalism and the economy? And why would the S.E.C then lift the ban, returning to ignoring the integrity and quality of the securities markets and reduce investor confidence? Notice that in some European countries like Germany, short selling of any kind is banned. 

“The commission is committed to using every weapon in its arsenal to combat market manipulation that threatens investors and capital markets,” the S.E.C.’s chairman, Christopher Cox, said in a statement announcing the measures on the commission’s Web site. “The emergency order temporarily banning short selling of financial stocks will restore equilibrium to markets.”

What, and then it’s back to chaos as speculators are allowed to run wild? And especially naked short selling, which is the practice of selling a stock short without first borrowing the shares or ensuring that the shares can be borrowed as is done in a conventional short sale. When the seller does not then obtain the shares within the required time frame, the result is known as a “fail to deliver.” Why exactly is that legal in the first place? That’s like buying something on credit, and not even having the credit. Or selling an item that you don’t even have. 

It has often been blamed for forcing prices down in times of market stress, but the level of anger has intensified as the American government has been forced to bail out major financial institutions and the leaders of some investment banks have asked for action to protect their shares.

Now some of these investment banks are asking the government to help protect their share value. Aren’t these the same investment banks that borrowed money on heavy margins, 30x their assets, to put in risky mortgage investment that they knew were a stack of cards? Knowing that mortgages were being sold to people who didn’t even have to verify their income???

Short sellers say that the criticism directed at them, and any restrictions on their activity, are wrong-headed, because they were among the first to raise the alarm about the risky mortgage lending practices that led to the current financial crisis.

This may be true, they were among the first to raise the alarm, and profited in the demise in the process. But the alarm could have equally been raised by pulling existing capital out of these vehicles also.

Senator John McCain, the Republican presidential candidate, said the S.E.C. had “kept in place trading rules that let speculators and hedge funds turn our markets into a casino” and said that the S.E.C.’s chairman, Christopher Cox, had “betrayed the public’s trust.”

And then that crazy old man you see screaming “Hey kids, get off my lawn” chimes in with his “it’s the other guy’s fault” comment. I’m not sure what Christopher Cox could have done, if anything. And why do I say that? I say that because back in 1999-2000, Congress (who that crazy old guy belonged to) passed legislation specifically banning the regulation of Credit Default Swaps and Collateral Debt Obligations by the S.E.C. Check it out. Basically, congress did the bidding of the banking and investment community to let them run rampant on CDS’s and CDO’s with no checks and balances. Basically, these vehicles are insurance policies that are unregulated. They were not required to keep any capital reserves at all, and that’s what happened to AIG. But hey, I’ll be posting more on this particular subject and how this all happened in layman’s terms in an upcoming post.

Wow, so Palin’s Yahoo account was hacked. Obviously against the law but I thought that privacy law suspended And the Republican party response, please ignore the man behind curtain, destroy the emails. Please don’t forward to any authorities.

Palins Yahoo Account Hacked | The Trail | washingtonpost.com
A group of computer hackers said yesterday they accessed a Yahoo e-mail account of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee, publishing some of her private communications to expose what appeared to be her use of a personal account for government business.

The hackers posted what they said were personal photos, the contents of several messages, the subject lines of dozens of e-mails and Palins e-mail contact list on a site called WikiLeaks.org. That site claimed that it received the electronic files from a group identifying itself only as “Anonymous.”

“At around midnight last night some members affiliated with the group gained access to governor Palins email account, gov.palin@yahoo.com and handed over the contents to the government sunshine site Wikileaks.org,” said a message on the site.

Rick Davis, the campaign manager for Sen. John McCain, issued a statement Wednesday afternoon condemning the incident.

“This is a shocking invasion of the Governors privacy and a violation of law,” Davis said. “The matter has been turned over to the appropriate authorities and we hope that anyone in possession of these e-mails will destroy them. We will have no further comment.”

“The trip of a lifetime” should be called the lie of a lifetime. Why do you have to have official revisions to a past itinerary? Doesn’t she know where she went? Her ONLY trip outside of the United States was a brief stop in Kuwait, up to the border of Iraq. But they’ve been talking about her “trip of a lifetime” in visiting the battlefield in Iraq. Now it seems, that after the truth leaks out, we have revisions to the story.

Simply, the truth about Palin being the V.P is that John McCain purposely picked an “attractive” woman to grab the Hillary voters. And because she has no real experience and it’s starting to backfire, the McCain camp is having to pump up, or flat out fabricate her credentials.

So let’s compare Palin to myself as who is more qualified to be V.P.

They say she has foreign policy and relations experience because she’s been out of the country once, and Alaska is close to Russia, although she has never met any foreign dignitaries. I on the other hand have been to almost two dozen countries, lived overseas for six years, and can handle a small conversation in German to get around. I have also been in the presence of dignitaries and high ranking foreign dignitaries. I have documented proof for all of this so score one for me.

Palin’s qualifications to be Commander in Chief? She’s the governor which puts her in charge of the Alaska National Guard. Curious if she knows what the standing force is or if she even knows the name of the highest ranking enlisted person is. She probably met that person during her inauguration but probably doesn’t remember. Now I have served in the military for eight years, five overseas and three at Ft. Bragg, NC. I’m a combat veteran and have seen my share (and that’s all I will discuss). I have documented proof of this also so score a second mark in my column for me.

Palin is a white woman. I am a black man. Clearly there are more disgruntled black people than white women. If you’re going to pander to a certain group of people, pick someone who can grab more votes. Palin being a white woman, all she can get is the pissed off Hillary supporters from the Ohio valley, you know, that middle class working folk people. But if McCain really wants votes, he would score bigger with me because I bring the crossover vote. I’m a black male, so I can pick up black women and men. Also, I’m a minority, so I can get other minority votes like Hispanics and Latinos (what’s the difference between those two groups anyway, really, I don’t know). I even speak some spanish. “no que areo taco bell”, see? I can help with the Native (real) American vote as I know some. I can help with the Asian vote because I know someone that knows someone that met Tiger Woods, and he’s half Asian. So you see, if McCain is going to pander, pander for the most votes you can get. Don’t waste the selection on just one small segment. Now put that third check mark in my box.

Gov. Palin was a mayor of a small town and spent most of her time trying to burn books in the library. Big deal. I was the president of my Home Owners Association for over seven years and overseen an annual budget of over $14,000 dollars (as I hold my pinky up to my mouth). I’ve contributed to my county library system through late fees, increasing the amount of books. So I definitely have an advantage with managing the national economy there.

So there you have it, 4-0, I am definitely more qualified than Gov. Palin.

Palin camp clarifies extent of Iraq trip - The Boston Globe
Sarah Palins visit to Iraq in 2007 consisted of a brief stop at a border crossing between Iraq and Kuwait, the vice presidential candidates campaign said yesterday, in the second official revision of her only trip outside North America.

Following her selection last month as John McCains running mate, aides said Palin had traveled to Ireland, Germany, Kuwait, and Iraq to meet with members of the Alaska National Guard. During that trip she was said to have visited a “military outpost” inside Iraq. The campaign has since repeated that Palins foreign travel included an excursion into the Iraq battle zone.

But in response to queries about the details of her trip, campaign aides and National Guard officials in Alaska said by telephone yesterday that she did not venture beyond the Kuwait-Iraq border when she visited Khabari Alawazem Crossing, also known as “K-Crossing,” on July 25, 2007.

Asked to clarify where she traveled in Iraq, Palins spokeswoman, Maria Comella, confirmed that “She visited a military outpost on the other side of the Kuwait-Iraq border.”

It was the second such clarification in as many weeks of the itinerary of what Palin has called “the trip of a lifetime.” Earlier, the campaign acknowledged that Palin made only a refueling stop in Ireland.

Oh when, oh when will the hypocrisy ever end with this guy? Straight from the grumpy old guy himself, his words, in text and on video in the primary debate, McCain absolutely slammed Mitt Romney and that Rudy guy for being one term governors and mayors, declaring that they are not able to do the job due to the lack of their experience. Now all of a sudden, Palin is qualified to fill in for the top spot because she’s a one term mayor and governor. The Obama campaign ought to run this Youtube clip as a political ad, showing the hypocrisy.

When does being a governor or mayor for a short period of time not disqualify your credentials on national security? When you are John McCain and your task is to defend your vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.When does being a governor or mayor for a short period of time ABSOLUTELY disqualify your credentials on national security? When you are John McCain and your task is to defeat primary opponents Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani.Back in October 2007, when McCains candidacy still appeared dead and buried, the Senator berated the two Republican front runners for lacking the necessary political experience to handle commander in chief responsibilities.”I have had a strong and a long relationship on national security, Ive been involved in every national crisis that this nation has faced since Beirut, I understand the issues, I understand and appreciate the enormity of the challenge we face from radical Islamic extremism,” the Senator declared. “I am prepared. I am prepared. I need no on-the-job training. I wasnt a mayor for a short period of time. I wasnt a governor for a short period of time.”

Here’s a Youtube clip on how the LHC works. Very simple to follow and understand. This is truly a marvel of science and there are many discoveries to be made, quite possibly helping us understand our origins. I guess this is why it could never be built in the US. The flat earth society would never permit that. To me there is no conflict between the creation of the universe and accepting the creation by God. Frankly, God created the universe, but it doesn’t mean that I can’t learn and understand how s(he) did it. If you think about it. the big bang is the equivalent of God snapping his finger, no?
