Singing Friedrich Hollander
Such romantic Illusions
And they're all about you...:
they had a touch of paradise,
a spell you can't explain...
for in this crazy paradise...
you are in love with...

Solomon song
You saw the wise man Salomon,
You know what 'came of him.
To him the world seemed clear as day,
He cursed the sad hour that he saw the sign,
He knew that everything was dust.
How great and wise was Salomon!
Watch out the world is spinning fast
The night will fall, the price we'll pay
Such wisdom's not all it's cracked up to be,
So let us praise such clarity.
You saw divine Cleopatra,
You know what 'came of her.
Two Emperors died to serve her lust,
She whored herself to death, yes she did,
And withered into lovely dust.
How beautiful great Babylon.
Watch out, the world is spinning fast
The night will fall, the price we'll pay,
Such beauty's not all it's cracked up to be,
So let us praise such luxury.
Behold the man, the bold Macheath,
The end's in sight, I fear.
If he had kept his pretty head
And just robbed the rich, but oh no, instead
All's come to nought and turned to dust.
How sad the heart when it has won.
Watch out the world is spinning fast,
The night will fall, the price we'll pay.
Such whoring's not all it's cracked up to be,
So let us praise sweet chastity.
You know what 'came of him.
To him the world seemed clear as day,
He cursed the sad hour that he saw the sign,
He knew that everything was dust.
How great and wise was Salomon!
Watch out the world is spinning fast
The night will fall, the price we'll pay
Such wisdom's not all it's cracked up to be,
So let us praise such clarity.
You saw divine Cleopatra,
You know what 'came of her.
Two Emperors died to serve her lust,
She whored herself to death, yes she did,
And withered into lovely dust.

The night will fall, the price we'll pay,
Such beauty's not all it's cracked up to be,
So let us praise such luxury.
Behold the man, the bold Macheath,
The end's in sight, I fear.
If he had kept his pretty head
And just robbed the rich, but oh no, instead
All's come to nought and turned to dust.
How sad the heart when it has won.
Watch out the world is spinning fast,
The night will fall, the price we'll pay.
Such whoring's not all it's cracked up to be,
So let us praise sweet chastity.

An Open Letter to John McCain from Frank Schaeffer
"I have posted this letter, which first ran in the Baltimore Sun as an op-ed on Oct 10, 2008, in its entirety. Frank Schaeffer is the author of Crazy for God: How I Grew Up as One of the Elect, Helped Found the Religious Right, and Lived to Take All (or Almost All) of It Back.
"Senator John McCain: If your campaign does not stop equating Sen. Barack Obama with terrorism, questioning his patriotism and portraying Mr. Obama as "not one of us," I accuse you of deliberately feeding the most unhinged elements of our society the red meat of hate, and therefore of potentially instigating violence.
At a Sarah Palin rally, someone called out, "Kill him!" At one of your rallies, someone called out, "Terrorist!" Neither was answered or denounced by you or your running mate, as the crowd laughed and cheered. At your campaign event Wednesday in Bethlehem, Pa., the crowd was seething with hatred for the Democratic nominee - an attitude encouraged in speeches there by you, your running mate, your wife and the local Republican chairman.
Shame

At your campaign event Wednesday in Bethlehem, Pa., the crowd was seething with hatred for the Democratic nominee - an attitude encouraged in speeches there by you, your running mate, your wife and the local Republican chairman.
John McCain: In 2000, as a lifelong Republican, I worked to get you elected instead of George W. Bush. In return, you wrote an endorsement of one of my books about military service. You seemed to be a man who put principle ahead of mere political gain.
You have changed. You have a choice: Go down in history as a decent senator and an honorable military man with many successes, or go down in history as the latest abettor of right-wing extremist hate.
John McCain, you are no fool, and you understand the depths of hatred that surround the issue of race in this country. You also know that, post-9/11, to call someone a friend of a terrorist is a very serious matter. You also know we are a bitterly divided country on many other issues. You know that, sadly, in America, violence is always just a moment away. You know that there are plenty of crazy people out there.
John McCain, you're walking a perilous line. If you do not stand up for all that is good in America and declare that Senator Obama is a patriot, fit for office, and denounce your hate-filled supporters when they scream out "Terrorist" or "Kill him," history will hold you responsible for all that follows.
John McCain and Sarah Palin, you are playing with fire, and you know it. You are unleashing the monster of American hatred and prejudice, to the peril of all of us. You are doing this in wartime. You are doing this as our economy collapses. You are doing this in a country with a history of assassinations.
Change the atmosphere of your campaign. Talk about the issues at hand. Make your case. But stop stirring up the lunatic fringe of haters, or risk suffering the judgment of history and the loathing of the American people - forever.
We will hold you responsible."

The Real Threat to America's Future:
This was at a McCain 'Town Hall' meeting in Bethlehem, PA. Homegrown ignorance and bigotry...with just a dash of stupidity for good measure! This trash is little better than the people my grandfather fought against in WWII!

WARNING! The Breathtaking Ignorance and Stupidity You Are About to See are Disturbing!
This video was taken at a rally in Strongsville, Ohio during a McCain/Palin rally! With people as stupid as this, is it any wonder Ohio is an economic basket case even in good times? Actually, is it any wonder that with people like this voting, the United States is effectively in the shape it's in? If people like this decide the next election, is there any doubt that America is doomed? Finally, is it any wonder that the McCain campaign, while keeping Sarah Palin away from the media, is also desperately trying to keep the press away from their supporters like these?
We All Need a Chuckle ...
With the national and world economies sinking faster than the Titanic, I figured we could all use a good laugh ...
Senator Mc(But-You-Have-To-Elect-Me-'Cause-I-Was-A-POW)Cain gets schooled by a young vet!
Beautiful! I'm glad to see there are some young people coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan not buying McCain's or the GOP's lip service about how much they 'value their service!'

Grandpa, Grandma? What Did You Do at the Start of the New Depression?
As I watch these McCainiacs work the tubes, their only response can be:
"For nostalgia's sake and as a loyal Republican, I shilled for the new Herbert Hoover, John McCain! Now go fetch us some water from the river."
"For nostalgia's sake and as a loyal Republican, I shilled for the new Herbert Hoover, John McCain! Now go fetch us some water from the river."
Hallelujah! - Internet's Working
Without me unplugging things of which I have no idea what they do.
I think Kerry heard my prayer.
Thank you, MyKe!
I think Kerry heard my prayer.
Thank you, MyKe!
Obama Won!
Obama had calm measured delivery.
McCain?
Talked to us like we were 2nd graders and he was reading "My Pet Goat".
What else could he do considering his base is so mentally challenged.

Religulous: Excellent film! I highly recommend it!
Bob and I saw this last night and Bill Maher nails it on so many lelvels. This is definitely one movie I will be buying when it comes out on DVD!
John McCain and the Keating Five
...old Grandpa McSame wanted to go negative on Obama instead of talking about the issues, so the Obama camp is happy to respond by bringing the skeletons out of McCain's closet which not only question his integrity, but also his ongoing role in deregulation and the collapse of Wall St.
