According to the Blogging World. John Edwards is out.
It’s a shame, I would have voted for him too.
I wish him all the best.

So, says the Chicago Tribune.
And, of course, it’s Hillary’s fault. So, says the Blogging World.
How dumb.
I wasn’t overly impressed. Neither was many other people, left or right.
Watch it for yourself:
and The Democrats Response:
To me, it was just more of the same from Bush. Nothing remarkable. According to Bob Cesca over at HuffPo:
10:08PM
Just flipped over to FOX News. Fred Barnes: This speech "will be forgotten pretty much. Haha!"
Damn. When Fox News Channel, the cheerleaders for the Neo-Conservative branch of the G.O.P. pans a speech made by their damn hero, that’s pretty bad!
Other than that, it’s just more of the same. Not really blog worthy in my book.
"Black women are being raped daily in Darfur, Sudan, in the Congo and in Sub-Saharan Africa. That doesn’t make news," "One 18-year-old white girl from Alabama gets drunk on a graduation trip to Aruba, goes off and ‘gives it up’ while in a foreign country, and that stays in the news for months!", "Maybe I am missing something!" Rev. Jeremiah Wright

I ask you now, Who is really the one making this election about race?
I hope this story catches on. This sort of thing is totally uncalled for.
I mean, I’m no racist, but this sort of thing is why there’s division among the races in this country.
Obama should either condemn these remarks or distance himself from this Church, once and for all.
Presidential Candidate Barack Obama has gotten an endorsement, from the daughter of one the most important political figures of our time.
Quote:
"OVER the years, I’ve been deeply moved by the people who’ve told me they wished they could feel inspired and hopeful about America the way people did when my father was president. This sense is even more profound today. That is why I am supporting a presidential candidate in the Democratic primaries, Barack Obama." – CAROLINE KENNEDY
It seems by reading the Blogs today, that some do not understand the great significance of such an endorsement. In the World of Politics getting a endorsement by the daughter of President John F. Kennedy, is basically like getting the endorsement from the head of the Roman Catholic Church.
This is just what Obama needed, a nod from the old guard, someone from the old school to say, "Yes, we approve". It’s a feather in his cap and he will be able to take that to the White House.
It’s going to be exciting race.

I may not agree 100% with his Liberalism. But I will tell you this, if he wins. I will be voting for him. The Republicans have nothing that I want to buy. They’ve put us into a quagmire. All the while ignoring the problems at home. I hope, that Obama smokes Hillary’s butt in the remainder of the primary, for the way she acted, trying to divide a party, and over some of the stupidest nonsense. This is truly a historical moment in our Nation. The last thing we need is some idiotic, power hungry, closet lesbian, screwing up our chances to be in the White House in 2009.

I guess Hillary and Co. will rethink the stupid racist nonsense.
Yeah, I know, I didn’t blog any today. I just wasn’t in the mood.
So, Here’s what is going on the world, Politically and Newsworthy that is.

The following comes from HuffPo:
At least four major firms have pulled advertising from Michael Savage’s nationally syndicated radio show following a campaign highlighting his inflammatory rhetoric. One other company, Geico insurance, is expected to follow suit.
The campaign, launched recently by Brave New Films, generated thousands of calls urging advertisers on the Savage Nation show to sever financial ties to the widely popular (and frequently offensive) talk host.
In less than a week, four agreed to pull their ads from the show, including Union Bank of California (whose representative says they were advertisers on the Savage show by mistake and were glad to be taken off), Intuit, Chattem, ITT Technical Institute.
"We are thrilled at the amazing response of the true patriots all over the blogsphere who responded to our NOSAVAGE campaign," Robert Greenwald, head of the film company, said in a statement. "People have called and emailed and the responsible sponsors have responded by pulling their ads and asking that their ads not be on this racist and hateful show."
But group who has segments run on the show is raising eyebrows by refusing to distance itself from Savage. The USO, a non-profit that does work for U.S. armed forces, wrote Brave New Films complaining about being targeted and even hinting at a lawsuit. The organization’s lawyer Tony Bisceglie says it does not pay for the USO public service announcements that air on Savage’s show – Read the Rest
I’m going to be honest with you. I’m right of center, I hold to some Conservative values myself. But this idiot is a total loon. He makes Bill O’Reilly look like a nun.
I can see the USO’s position, But I think anyone who’s paid for ads on his show, should pull them. This is no way to promote goodwill to other races in America. The problem is, Muslims hear this sort of thing and they believe EVERYONE in America is like this. If you’re Muslim, and you happen to read this Blog, I assure you, we’re not ALL like this.
The problem with Michael Savage is, he believes ALL MUSLIMS are terrorists, which many Conservatives happen to believe. This, I know, for a fact is a crock of bull. Most Muslims in America, that in fact, practice Islam, are moderates. They reject the idea of a violent Jihad. I know this might be hard thing for some Conservatives to swallow, but it’s the truth. One thing that the Conservatives must realize, if they are going to ever get anywhere in American politics is, that the guys who carried out the September 11’th attacks were not just Muslims, they were mentally deranged extremists who just happened to be believers in the Doctrines of Islam, if they were not Islamic Muslims, they would have been something else.
Yes, I do believe that there is a war on terror. There is a war against mindless extremists within the Muslim Islamic Faith, Not against Arabic people or Muslims or Islam in General. That sort of mentality has origins in the White Nationalist circles and unfortunately has seeped over into main stream Conservatism.
I know, some of you are going to say, "What about what you wrote here?" Yes, I know what I wrote there. I was referring to the extremists within the Muslim Movement. I also was more commenting on this part:
“The upsetting part is not only do they go into the history (which would be acceptable) but also the teaching of Islam,” she said. “This book does not really go into Christianity or the teachings of Christ, nor does it address religious doctrine elsewhere to the degree it does Islam.”
She said the book’s one page referencing Jews “is only to convey that they were tortured by Crusaders to get them to convert to ‘Christianity.’ (It fails to mention that the biggest persecutors of Jews throughout history and still today are Arab Muslims). It gives four other one-liner references to the Jews being blamed for the plagues and problems in the land. It does not talk about the Jews as making a significant impact on the culture at large.”
That was my issue within that story. I do not, however, believe that Islam, or any other Religion should be PUSHED on anyone, at all. We all should be able to make our own decisions ourselves. It might appear that I am talking about of both sides of my Mouth , but I am not.
