Is Obama Good For The Gays?
Just because he is not bad for the gays does not make him good for the gays.
There are so many easy things he could do.
For instance, stop the military from agressively investigating and discharging gays, some kind of "stop loss", until new policy can be implemented. This has not happened.
Lift the ban on HIV immigration and travel.
Say something about recent state elections re gay marriage and civil unions.
It is true that after 8 years of the Republican scolds and prudes we are better off, but this is still not the change I voted and donated for.
Mr. President, Do something!

The 'Grinch' That Stole Halloween!
It looks as though Ms. Shirlie Nagle of Gross Point Farms decided to dress up as a Nasty Bitch for Halloween! If you didn't have a good enough reason to vote against John McCain, here you go... (I wonder if she's related to Gary?)

Hillary Endorses Obama!!
Yes She Can and Did!
Many times showing she's now on the bandwagon with "Yes We Can".
And This:
She did good. Exactly what she needed to do. She even said the "gay" word. Good for her!

And This:
Although we weren’t able to shatter that hardest, highest glass ceiling this time, thanks to you it’s got about 18 million cracks in it
She did good. Exactly what she needed to do. She even said the "gay" word. Good for her!

Can I get an Amen!
Chicago's own Fr. Michael Pfleger of St. Sabina's faces down Bill O'Reilly's attack dog!
Not in a long time have I been so proud of a Catholic priest!

This Morning's Dream
That threw me out of bed...
I dreamed that I was taking a nice beach vacation...
With Hillary and Barack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And they both were trying to sway me to vote for them.
I need my Snarkangel to medicate me.
P.S. Afraid to look at what I posted last Wednesday. Much Jaeger.
UPDATE: Oh, dear! Just looked. Sincerest apologies to all!

The Obama video I wish I'd done- to Living Color's great "Cult of Personality"
Enjoy it while you can... I'm sure its copyright infringement, or that the same ninny brigade whose nickers got so twisted over my slide show will take him out.

The hagiographic hooplah around Obama & Hillary's brilliant ad- I'd almost think about voting for her after viewing it!
One of the Obama videos I posted last night, the one I said gave me lactose intolerance problems, has had embedding disabled. I said of it
It was embeddable last night, but now isn't, so if you want to watch it, you have to click here. The same user has posted several other videos which seem more to be VERY hagiographic.
Here's a more blatant one... I wonder how long before it gets yanked.
Would Mother Teresa or Albert Schweitzer or get the same level of adulation, the same exemption from any criticism or critique?! I doubt it! As I found on JibJab, one might as well advocate the clubbing of baby seals or the torture of kittens as critique him.
To paraphrase my favorite booze commercial- a mind is a like a parachute, it only works when when open. This is a presidential primary for pity's sake, not the Immaculate Election!
Heaven knows, I'm no fan of either Clinton, but I have defended Senator Clinton when she was attacked unfairly because she has 2 "x" chromosomes, and I've got to give her credit for laying out the issue so well here, even if it is a reprise of an older spot.
Initially I was proud of America for being open to Obama's candidacy, and was pleased he was appealing to the "higher angels" in us. But two things have soured me on him.
1) The more he speaks, the less he says. If brevity is the soul of wit... the inverse is holding true with him. His campaign is like a pep rally with no game following... a warm up without an act!
2) The fanaticism of his fans, and the way they treat naysayers. I'd already noticed this and been quite off put by it before I started getting feces for it. No one should be worshiped, adored, and exempted from critical scrutiny... much less someone running to be the modern day equivalent of Caesar Augustus!
Not sure what to make of this video, other than that being lactose intolerant something this cheesy is putting my intestinal health in grave danger, not to mention my sanity... but maybe that's the point, to be as over the top as my slideshow. I see it uses the same silly picture of him with the Superman statue as I did, so...

I just don't get the "cult of Obama." Aside from Jesus Christ and my wife, the only thing I've come close to having that sort of reverence for or worship of was the 21 year old cheddar I found in Tomah Wisconsin years ago. People is people, for feck's sake.
- We all drop stinky loads after mawing down a bag of our favorite junk food
- We all think of adding a level of hell to Dante's 7 when someone with 20 items in their carts gets in front of us in the 12 items or less isle.
- We've all followed the crowd and enjoyed or participated in something we've later come to rue and regret. (In my case, it was string ties in the 80s, and the Bee Gees in the 70s.)

The brilliant Hillary Clinton Ad
Of course, my reaction to this was the same as every other commentator with a few active brain cells- that it takes after Johnson's [in]famous "Daisy Ad"
Now, I can't claim I remember this commercial- I heard about it on cable TV, but its striking how similar the ads are... and for good reason, the same guy produced them both!

New improved "Obama IS mighty mouth" slideshow, now at JibJab - my reward for my Spanish oral yesterday

Barack Obama IS Mighty Mouth
Barack Obama IS "Mighty Mouth!"
45 minutes for winning Wisconsin?
Heaven help us when he does something which matters... not that there seems to be much danger of that.
(There's no time left to do anything when you're writing and giving marathon orations like that! Sheesh, I spent 20 hours a week putting together 20 minute sermons!)
If the slideshow doesn't load... here's the stills. Slideroll does NOT seem reliable!
They're the ones I used to make the slideshow... I went to show it to Tess, and NADA, nichts! GRRRRR!
One of these days I'll do a slideshow offline and upload it to Jibjab, but not today, I have a speech in Spanish to memorize for tomorrow!Oh, and were I to start in on anything more substantial regarding the current race, I'd flunk both my classes. I was just trying to have a bit of fun and vent a bit of frustration at having sat through that 45 minute marathon of inanity.
At least they didn't delete it, I was just able to view it here, but I'm not gonna rely on them again.

NOW -W- gets religion?! & Sauced Gander
Ever since President Reagan's exit from office and public life, classic liberals (also known as "Jeffersonian Liberals," or "libertarians") have been the cuckolds of the GOP. We've seen her go whoring after lobbyists, shacking up with big government, taxing and spending with an abandon not seen since Imelda Marcos' last shoe shopping spree.
So now... months before he leaves office, President Bush makes a show of opposing earmarks?! Talk about a death bed conversion! Its not like he did anything to cut spending, simplify the tax code, reduce the size and wastefulness of the federal government when he had a GOP congress, when he could have actually done something about the problems.
Just pathetic.
Next topic... as you may have noticed, I'm no fan of either Clinton (I think the phrase "I'd not vote for him or her to be dog catcher" might have given that away, *grin*) Even so, I find it amusing and ironic that the same people who once cheered President Bill on when he was fighting no holds barred against Republicans have suddenly discovered that... he plays dirty. DUH! What's next... discovering that there is no tooth-fairy?! The birds are coming home to roost, what's been sauce for the goose is now sauce for the gander... and now its a problem, when for the last 15 years it wasn't.
Now here's where I might surprise you.... I don't give a rat's about how BC's shooting his mouth off... doesn't wedge my g-string any further up my crack than it already is. Politics is a dirty, vicious, ugly business... and it always has been.
Yes, I think he's making a fool of himself and making Barack's canonization that much more likely, but I just can't work up any moral indignation over his treating Saint Barack the way he's treated every opponent previously.
Ps.... if you want to see videos of Tess hallucinating with a migraine, the puppies cleaning our faces, etc., I'll be posting them over on my multiply blog later tonight... I know Snark loves them, but... ya gotta know your crowd. Ya'll are a fun, political, phreaky lot, the folks at Multiply more get off on the personal stuff. (In the same token, I did NOT post this there. I may... there's a couple of deep thinking passionate classic liberals over there, but the rest... are a mix of political agnostics, Huckabee fans, and people outside the US, so...
