This arrived in my e-mail inbox this morning…. a rather humorous video.
Notice how they played it so straight? I mean, it is pretty darned good. Something tells me that if this was a real product, the PUMA’s would be buying this by the crate.
Exit question: If Catharsis for Hillary, then what for Bill?

Liberals want to edit Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta love”. What?!?!
Via UK Telegraph:
After choosing the song for the closing ceremony on Sunday they decided that some of the lyrics would have to be omitted or re-written amid concerns that they could cause offence.
The song was chosen as the centrepiece of an eight-minute £2.5million British segment at the event in Beijing at which the Olympic flag will be officially passed to the London Mayor Boris Johnson.
Organisers of the London 2012 Games commissioned the band’s guitarist Jimmy Page to record a new version of the song to be performed on top of a special red double-decker bus accompanied by Leona Lewis, winner of the ITV reality television show The X Factor, with David Beckham looking on.
But, according to London 2012 officials, Lewis – who grew up in east London close to the Olympic site – requested a change to the song’s second verse because she was worried they would not make sense for a female singer.
In the original, recorded in 1969, frontman Robert Plant sings, “I’m gonna give you every inch of my love”.
But in the version that will be sung tomorrow, however, Lewis changes the words to “every bit” of my love.
The band also agreed to a request from organisers to drop the third verse, which includes similar sexual innuendoes, to fit in to the eight-minute performance.
Oy! Talk about political correctness gone horribly wrong.
Poor Jimmy page man…
Cue the song!
Tampering with Zeppelin?!?!? It ought to be a crime!

I am watching that Communist Liberal idiot Bitch on MSNBC’s Meet the Press. She’s trying, very poorly, to defend her position of being against offshore drilling. She’s a living, breathing example of why a woman, much less, a Liberal woman, has no place in politics. She needs to go home and bake cookies and leave the politics to the men folk.
The Story: Man arrested carrying weapons at Pelosi hotel (Via The Denver Post)
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was briefly evacuated from her downtown Denver hotel on Saturday when a man carrying two hunting rifles and two pistols tried to check in to the hotel.
Secret Service spokesman Malcolm Wiley said 29-year-old Joseph Calanchini of Pinedale, Wyo., faces a charge of unlawful carrying of a weapon after police officers at the Grand Hyatt hotel noticed him carrying a rifle-type case while checking in. Calanchini did not have a concealed weapons permit, said Lance Clem, spokesman for the Colorado Department of Public Safety.
Wiley said authorities were not releasing information about whether the weapons were loaded because the case remained under investigation. Wiley said the charge is the same whether the weapons were loaded or unloaded.
Pelosi and other guests briefly evacuated the hotel but were never in danger, Pelosi spokesman Brendan Daly said.
Calanchini remained at Denver City Jail Sunday on $10,000 bond, said Denver Sheriff’s Deputy Danny Steckman.
Authorities were investigating a report that Calanchini was in town on business and had had the weapons worked upon, including mounting of site scopes, to prepare for an upcoming hunting trip.
“The speaker was never in any danger and she appreciates the quick and professional response of the police,” said Daly.
Arrested?? The guy deserves a damn medal. It’s just a damn pity that the guy was not there to put that miserable communist liberal bitch out of her own misery.
I’m Paleo Pat and I approve this message. 😛

Just when you think you know a guy…. Stuff like this comes out…
This via the Washington Post:
A son and a brother of Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-Del.) are accused in two lawsuits of defrauding a former business partner and an investor of millions of dollars in a hedge fund deal that went sour, court records show.
The
Democratic vice presidential candidate’s son Hunter, 38, and brother
James, 59, assert instead that their former partner defrauded them by
misrepresenting his experience in the hedge fund industry and
recommending that they hire a lawyer with felony convictions.The
legal actions have been playing out in New York State Supreme Court
since 2007, and they focus on Hunter and James Biden’s involvement in
Paradigm Companies LLC, a hedge fund group. Hunter Biden, a Washington
lobbyist, briefly served as president of the firm.A lawsuit
filed by their former partner Anthony Lotito Jr. asserts in court
papers that the deal was crafted to get Hunter Biden out of lobbying
because his father was concerned about the impact it would have on his bid for the White House. Biden was running for the Democratic nomination at the time the suit was filed.Hunter Biden was made president with an annual salary of $1.2 million, despite his inexperience in the hedge fund industry,
the lawsuit said. Before that, he had been part of the Washington law
firm Oldaker, Biden & Belair, which earned $1.76 million in
lobbying revenue in the first half of 2006, according to Congressional
Quarterly’s CQ MoneyLine. One of its biggest clients is the National
Association of Shareholder and Consumer Attorneys, a District-based
group representing law firms specializing in investment and corporate
law.Hunter Biden is one of many children and relatives of
prominent members of Congress who have made their careers as lobbyists.
He returned to lobbying after less than a year with Paradigm.Lotito’s
lawsuit alleges that James Biden called him in January 2006 to arrange
a job for Hunter Biden. It says James Biden told him that his brother
(Sen. Biden) “was concerned with the
impact that Hunter’s lobbying activities might have on his expected
campaign for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination,” and,
“Biden told Lotito that, in light of these concerns, his brother had
asked him to seek Lotito’s assistance in finding employment for Hunter
in a non-lobbying capacity.”
However, what is not being quoted by most of the anti-obama Blogs is:
The campaign of Sens. Barack Obama and Biden declined to comment on the case, referring questions to Nicholas Gravante Jr., a lawyer representing Hunter and James Biden. Gravante said assertions that Joseph Biden told his brother he was concerned about his son’s lobbying are “absolutely false.”
“This lawsuit has nothing to do with Joe Biden, and there is absolutely no truth to those allegations,” Gravante said. “It is a business dispute between former partners. The suit is baseless.“
Brian C. Wille, an attorney for Lotito, said the lawsuit alleges no wrongdoing by Sen. Biden, only that his concerns set in motion the business deal.
“There was a concern that Hunter Biden’s role as a lobbyist would have an impact on the senator’s proposed presidential run,” Wille said. “That’s what James Biden told Mr. Lotito. . . . Was it true? Who knows? There is no allegation the senator was involved in any of these events.”
In an affidavit, Hunter Biden said his father had nothing to do with the deal and that it is Lotito who swindled the Bidens.
He said Lotito lied about being a “fully licensed and accredited securities professional” with hedge fund experience.
In addition, he said Lotito recommended a lawyer to vet the business deal who was under investigation and was ultimately convicted on several felony charges of conspiracy and wire and mail fraud in a scheme to steal millions from a computer company.
So, before anyone jumps to any conclusions. Be sure you read the entire story, before you pass judgment.
It is really sad that WaPo would even put out this story in an effort to derail Biden’s popularity or to bring doubt into the minds of those voting. It speaks to the sick and sad state of our Main Stream Media.

I might fall off of memeorandum. But I’m beat.
See you all later today.
I was looking at the upcoming stories this morning.
A liberal think tank organization released a news piece of the shape of social security and it’s status. Turns out it is just fine.
Well, right away, some on the right are crying “Foul“!
Because there was a gross distortion of the facts? Uhmm.. No, because they did not link the source article.
Well, here it is guys… The report in question, in PDF format.
From the Congressional Budget Office, Director’s Blog:
Today we released a paper on updated long-term projection for Social Security. (Our last long-term projection for social security was included in the December 2007 Long-Term Budget Outlook.) As CBO has highlighted in previous reports, the number of Social Security beneficiaries will grow considerably as the baby boomers become eligible for retirement benefits. Absent legislative changes, spending for the program will therefore climb substantially and exceed the program’s revenues. CBO projects that the 75-year actuarial imbalance in the program amounts to 0.38 percent of GDP, or 1.06 percent of taxable payroll.
The projections released today differ somewhat from earlier results because of newly available programmatic and economic data, updated assumptions about future demographic and economic trends, and improvements in CBO’s models. For example, these projections assume that future immigrants will be younger and more numerous than was assumed in 2007. (This change was included in the 2008 Social Security trustees’ report; CBO adopts the trustees’ aggregate demographic assumptions.) As a result of this and other changes, CBO projects somewhat smaller future deficits than we did in our 2007 projections.
CBO’s long-term Social Security projections have always shown both a point estimate and the range within which 80 percent of the possible values are likely to fall. In this update, however, CBO has expanded its uncertainty presentation. Many figures and tables still show the 10th and 90th percentiles of various measures, but new presentations show the probabilities of specific outcomes.
Here is an example of our new presentation. A table in today’s report shows the probability that Social Security outlays will exceed revenues by a specified percentage of GDP in a selected year. For example, the likelihood that outlays will exceed revenues in 2030 is about 97 percent, CBO projects, and there is almost a 50 percent chance that the gap will be larger than 1 percentage point of GDP; the chance of its being 2 percentage points (or more) of GDP is only 6 percent.
Another new table shows the probability, for different birth cohorts, that the Social Security trust funds will be sufficient to pay specified percentages of scheduled benefits. According to CBO’s projections, the 1940s cohort, for example, is virtually certain to receive all of its scheduled first-year benefit. The 1990s cohort has only a 32 percent chance of receiving all of its scheduled first-year benefit but an 84 percent chance of receiving at least 70 percent of that benefit.
Both the analyses that show 10th and 90th percentiles and the new presentations are based on the same underlying data, but we hope that the different perspectives will help to communicate uncertainty more fully to readers.
Gee guys, it’s called goggle. (and not THE Google, as called by Keith Olbermann, it is not a living thing!) it cannot be that hard to look up. 🙄
No wonder the majority of Americans believe that the Republican Party is filled with idiots. It might just be because it is! 😆

Jesus H. freakin’ Christ, this election cycle, for a Blogger like me, is like leading a circular firing squad.
First off, we have Neo-Conservative idiot William Kristol wanting to see nothing short of a floor fight at the Democratic Convention. Oh, I am absolutely sure that Kristol and his gang of Neo-Conservative morons would love nothing more than to see a giant floor fight, complete with (dare I say it?) the assassination of Barack Obama and the chaotic collapse of the Democratic Party into a smoldering heap. This all would be so the Neo-Conservatives could get to John McCain and continue to control Washington D.C. for the next 4 years. Thereby truly continuing the Neo-Conservative agenda in this Country.
Two words Kristol: Keep Dreaming!
If that is not enough to make a man want to take up drinking stiff whiskey, you have former Hillary supporters who are outraged! Outraged, I say! About the fact that Hillary Clinton was not even offered the position of Vice President.
Remember what I said about that circular firing squad? Well, hold on, hope you don’t get dizzy easy.
Listen people, Hillary Clinton, by most accounts, did not even WANT the job of Barack Obama’s Vice President. If she even did, could you freakin’ imagine that vetting process? I mean, people, Bill Clinton took funding from suspected terrorists overseas to build that freakin’ library of his! Not mention the fact that Bill Clinton seriously screwed over a guy, by the name of Peter F. Paul, who was business partners with Stan Lee. Heck, Peter F. Paul has living breathing evidence that Hillary Herself committed a felony during her fundrasing during her senate election campaign.
Not to even mention that if Barry had said, “Okay, forget the vetting, you can be my V.P.” Could you imagine that absolute shit-storm that the far, far, right would have created had Hillary been accepted for the Vice President? You have to know that the far right would have been digging for every last piece of media footage from the Waco compound siege in Waco, Texas and using it for Ads against Obama. Not to mention, The Monica scandal, Travel Gate, White Water, Vince Foster, and the list goes on and on and on and on.
Barack Obama might be a far lefty Liberal, but people, he is no dummy. Yeah, Biden might have a little baggage from a 1988 President campaign when he copied a speech. But honestly, that is absolutely nothing like the baggage that Hillary Clinton comes with. I mean, the two just are not comparable.
To the hardened Hillary supporters, I simply say this. I do not like anymore than you that Hillary lost. I think what the Democrat Party did here in Michigan and in Florida was absolutely wrong. But, unless your Party does something to change the rules of selection for President of United States, there’s nothing that can be done about it. The states moved up their primaries, and the DNC decided to punish them for it. Unless there are rule changes, that is just the way it is. I mean, standing around sucking your thumb and stamping your feet is not going to change a thing. I mean, seriously, do you, as an American citizen want to see four more years of George W. Bush?!?!?! That would be absolutely insane. You all just need to get the hell over it, and hope the Hillary decides to run again in 2012 or 2016. By that time, if Barry is a lame duck by then, Hillary will have a clear shot at the White House. That is, if she has not stroked out or something.

Call me naive, call me stupid, call me, well, racist. But this article is nothing more than nuanced, glamorized bullshit.
Racism is the only reason Obama might lose. By Jacob Weisberg (Via Slate Magazine)
What with the Bush legacy of reckless war and economic mismanagement, 2008 is a year that favors the generic Democratic candidate over the generic Republican one. Yet Barack Obama, with every natural and structural advantage in the presidential race, is running only neck-and-neck against John McCain, a sub-par Republican nominee with a list of liabilities longer than a Joe Biden monologue. Obama has built a crack political operation, raised record sums, and inspired millions with his eloquence and vision. McCain has struggled with a fractious campaign team, lacks clarity and discipline, and remains a stranger to charisma. Yet at the moment, the two of them appear to be tied. What gives?
If it makes you feel better, you can rationalize Obama’s missing 10-point lead on the basis of Clintonite sulkiness, his slowness in responding to attacks, or the concern that Obama may be too handsome, brilliant, and cool to be elected. But let’s be honest: If you break the numbers down, the reason Obama isn’t ahead right now is that he trails badly among one group, older white voters. He does so for a simple reason: the color of his skin.
What baloney!
The National Journal named Barack Obama as one the most liberal senators in Washington D.C.
Not to mention his wacky pastor, his associations with unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers. Not mention his disdain for those who actually believe in a God, think that it’s our constitutional right to own and carry a gun, and would like see illegal immigration stopped and our border secured.
No, it’s none of that, it’s because white people, like me, are racist. 🙄
Of course, if a white conservative, like myself, says that Barack Obama would not be where he is, if it were not for the color of his skin, we’re racists. If a white conservative, like me, says that B. Hussein Obama, ol’ Barry the Magic Negro, is nothing more than a product of a un-constitutional civil rights act, passed by a communist infiltrated, liberal congress in 1964, we’re racist.
If Barack Obama was a white man, he’d working in law office somewhere and wouldn’t be able to get a job as a shoeshine boy (or he’d he shining something! Larry Craig’s ummm.. car? ) in the capital building in Washington D.C.
But if people, like me, say that. We’re racists….
Identity Politics, you have to just love it.
Sometimes, I wish Biden HAD won the primary. Maybe we’d have a chance that this election would be fairly carried out, and without all the white guilt and race hustling and baiting.
You ask me, what do I have against a Democrat, much less a black Democrat getting into the White House? I give you the best, the most perfect example of why I feel it would be a total disaster for a corrupt black Democrat to be in the White House. I only ask that you look in my home town. Detroit, Michigan.
If that is not a good enough reason, I do not know what is.

The McCain campaign is already rolling out ads against Biden.
This coming from an old fool, who cannot even tell people how many houses he owns.
Quote:
“I think — I’ll have my staff get to you,” McCain told Politico in Las Cruces, N.M. “It’s condominiums where — I’ll have them get to you.“
If he doesn’t how many houses he owns, how can he possibly criticize anyone else?
….and don’t even get me started on McCain’s integrity. (can you say….Keating five?)
