Sometimes the idiots make it too easy….

The Story: Bush admin: U.S. has ‘lost intelligence’ (via Politico.com)

The Bush administration informed Congress on Friday that the government has “lost intelligence” because of the expiration of surveillance legislation caught in a political tug of war.

“We have lost intelligence information this past week as a direct result of the uncertainty created by Congress’ failure to act,” says an underlined passage of a six-page letter signed by Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey and Director of National Intelligence J. Michael McConnel

I think Keith Olbermann’s Words sum it up for me. I’m referring to the last one on this video… Big Grin

Obama catching sand over a comment.

Whoa Boy… Obama is catching grief over a comment made at the debates.

Mostly from the far right wing nuts, who refuse to believe that our Military is nothing short of perfect.

Some people need to really look into getting real.

Even some of the comments on the Wing Nut Blogs even ADMIT that they were using enemy weapons and bullets.

But let a Liberal diss our Military?!?!?! Off with his Negro head! Surprise

Stupidity at it’s finest. Rolling Eyes

The Real John McCain?

He’s talking a pretty mean game now, But what about….:

and This:

Seems John McCain had a different view of war, back in those days, now he’s very much pro war.

Some people will say anything to get elected.

Uh-oh……

 Oh…..crap…..

For McCain, Self-Confidence on Ethics Poses Its Own Risk  (via New York Times)

Early in Senator John McCain’s first run for the White House eight years ago, waves of anxiety swept through his small circle of advisers.

A female lobbyist had been turning up with him at fund-raisers, visiting his offices and accompanying him on a client’s corporate jet. Convinced the relationship had become romantic, some of his top advisers intervened to protect the candidate from himself — instructing staff members to block the woman’s access, privately warning her away and repeatedly confronting him, several people involved in the campaign said on the condition of anonymity.

This could be big. Although, I highly doubt it. why? Because the story lacks substance. There’s no direct accusation.

Hey, at least she’s pretty. But have you seen his wife?

Now, why in the world, would he want to cheat, on someone who looks like her?

It just don’t make any sense… I dont know

I seriously doubt the Democrats will even touch this. I could see some of the younger guys, But McCain?!!? Nah! Not him.

Update: I’ve finally sat down and read the entire story. I posted an editorial regarding this story on my other Blog, click here to read it.

Castro steps down

Yeah, I know Castro resigned. Big Deal. It isn’t like anything is going to change in that country. It will be just more of the same. Some say it will not be, But I know better.

What gets me, is how the right is trying to compare the Liberal Democrats with Socialist Communists. True, some of the traits are the same. But to say that they are exactly alike, that’s a bit of a stretch.

The problem is, Liberalism is a very broad term. Just like Conservatism. Not every progressive minded person thinks that Castro was any kind of Hero. I mean, the man was a dictator. His people were not truly free, like we are here. Even I am smart enough to know that.

I just wish others that share my Conservative beliefs, knew this as well.

A guy can dream, can’t he?

Obama is a Plagiarist

Now this does not surprise me a bit at all…

The Story: Obama Caught Plagiarizing 2006 Speech? (H/T to NYT)

Quote:

Big Head DC has discovered alarming similarities between a speech made by Sen. Barack Obama on February 16 while campaigning for president in Wisconsin and an October 2006 speech made by Deval Patrick, the current Democratic governor of Massachusetts. The coincidences would seem to indicate that Obama copied several lines and linguistic speech patterns from Patrick’s “Just Words” speech for Obama’s own “Words Matter” speech. Indeed, words do matter. And they matter even more when they are one’s own words.

Interesting. Wasn’t another famous black leader accused of this as well?

Seems the "Magic Negro" doesn’t have a creative bone in his body.

When are people going to wake up and see this guy for what he really is, and that’s a inexperienced, snotty nosed, Negro punk, who’s trying to ride on the shoulders of Martin Luther King Jr. into the White House.

If Conservatives vote for him, it will be the death of this country. Period. I’m not for Hillary at all, and McCain is a fake too. But this is just too much.

Breaking News: Obama is being accused of gay sex and drug use…..

This could get big, if it’s true…..

Sleaze charge: ‘I took drugs, had homo sex with Obama’ (via WorldNetDaily.com)

The electrifying presidential campaign of Barack Obama faces a new challenge – a Minnesota man who claims he took cocaine in 1999 with the then-Illinois legislator and participated in homosexual acts with him.

The Video in Question:

At first I thought, “Nah…”, But, Why would someone get on Youtube, and admit that they’re gay? and say something like this, if it’s not true. I mean, after all, we do not know much about Obama, except for his very sanitized website.

This does warrant more investigation.

Update: From the feedback I am getting, this could very well possibly be a hoax. But I am leaving up the post, just an case. Some are saying that the Hillary camp might be behind this. Although, I doubt it.

Update: May 10, 2008 – This man ended up taking a lie detector test and failing. See here for more info….. and hello to the ladies in the forum debating this!

The Crap is about to hit the fan between Obama and Hillary

This is about get real messy, I bet. Others do as well.

The Story: Black Leader, a Clinton Ally, Tilts to Obama (via New York Times)

Representative John Lewis, an elder statesman from the civil rights era and one of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s most prominent black supporters, said Thursday night that he planned to cast his vote as a superdelegate for Senator Barack Obama in hopes of preventing a fight at the Democratic convention.

That is what people are saying, Blacks are worried that we might end up with another 1968 Democrat convention. This is all about to really messy, I predict that Obama will be able to ride out the storm and Hillary will come out looking like an idiot and end up losing, not just the election, but her own shirt as well.

Should be interesting.

Breaking News: Gunman opens fire on Northern Illinois University Campus

Not Good.

Gunman reported shooting on Illinois campus – Crime & courts- msnbc.com

Northern Illinois University officials say there has been a report of a gunman on campus.

WBBM in Chicago reported that a man with a shotgun began shooting in a lecture hall during a geology class.

Any Bloggers on campus?

Classes have been Canceled for tonight.

 
CNN has Live Video (No Audio)
 
I cannot believe that MSNBC is more interested in having that idiot Blowhard Chris Matthews than this Story… What the hell?!?!?
 
CNN is reporting that up to 18 people have injured.

CNN Headline News is saying 2 are confirmed dead. Update: It is now been confirmed, that there is one fatality, The Gunman.  

Stay tuned.

 
Update: CNN is Reporting:
 
"He was wearing a black shirt, dark pants, black hat. … He started with a shotgun, then turned to a pistol."
 
I still cannot believe that MSNBC is more interesting in talking about Politics, than this story, it’s a disgrace.
 
CNN Headline News has just reported, that the gunman was NOT a student at the college. The Gunman has been ID’ed. The police are not released his ID.

An Open Plea tonight for the Victims of the Tornados in the South…..

Ladies and Gentleman,

This is a call to action.

The South needs our Help.

See this:

Whilst we’re waiting for George’s Promised Prayers to roll in, down here in the Tornado-Stricken Mid-South, I might recommend some DIRECT HUMAN INTERACTION.

This Is My Best First Start To Help My Region.

As Scout Prime is to NOLA, I am, suddenly, to the Mid-South area (I LIVE here, and was Live-Blogging these horrible storms all night), and have started to get the help-ball rolling down here. Some of you know where I work. I started a Food Drive there today for the Mid-South United Way Food Bank.

As the area affected is so broad and detached, and everyone in the Country was distracted by politics last night, as yet, there is no central assistance hub set-up. So, at the link, above, you’ll find the two agencies with the broadest radius to help the area right now. Both take DIRECT donations.

A small-blog swarm on that post (or this comment) would be greatly appreciated by more people than just me. I can’t describe how wide-spread the damage is down here. It’s enormous. The Media, per usual, is only just now waking up to the situation, after their Super-Duper-Let’s-All-Wet-Our-Pants-Together- Tuesday Political Hangover. Like NOLA, these are REALLY poor folks down here, and have nothing, and nowhere to go.

A short post about this at YOUR Blog, linking either to my post, above, or directly to the two Orgs mentioned in the post above, would sure be a big help, and would be greatly appreciated by many people who are relying on help. They are all that we have right now.

I just donated a deer’s worth of ground venison, along with the 100 pounds of rice and quart-sized ziplock bags that they said that they needed at the United Way Mid-South Food Bank, when I phoned them this morning. Their pantry is BARE, and I’ll be loading them up with all the potatoes, rice, veggies, bags, and other staples that I can fit in my truck tomorrow.

This is serious Red State country, and a flood of help from the DFH Left would REALLY make a big difference in a number of good ways.

I thank you all in advance.

Click Here for more about what’s going on down here. It’s all that I am writing about right now. Help is needed.

Your humble peer,

Monkeyfister

I would kindly ask, that everyone that reads this Blog, call or write to the following people:

American Red Cross
Mid-South Chapter
1400 Central Avenue
Memphis, TN 38104
901-726-1690
And:
United Way of the Mid-South phone in a donation at (901) 433-4300.

Let’s open our pocketbook and show these people that we as Americans care.

This isn’t about Politics, this is about Americans, who have lost it all. Let’s show ’em that we really care.
