This new Web site Boobs For Barack is definitely a new type of campaign and people are taking notice. The same makers of the “Big Cock Barack ‘08″ t-shirt, which features a giant rooster, have started up the titty extravaganza! In honor of Barack Obama, Boobs For Barack encourages ladies to strip down and show some support by submitting pictures of boobs. ALL types are welcome: real, fake, big, small, black, white, even man boobies - just take a picture in a bra, bathing suit top, or go totally nakie and write a message on ‘em!

There are already tons of pictures on the Web site slide show so check it & get creative. Kinda makes me think about who’s responsible for Boobs For Barack? Hopefully not some creeper pervs that can’t rack any women up on their own.. but most likely.

Not endorsed by the Obama campaign.

There’s a reason why Hunter S. Thompson thought fairly well of George McGovern (well, for a politician anyway…) - his idealism didn’t stand in the way of his reason. (Maybe. It’s been a while since I read Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail ‘72. I kinda forget the details, except the part where Thompson talked football with Nixon). Now once-Democratic Presidnetial candidate George McGovern, a longtime Clinton supporter, has pulled his endorsement and is now backing Barack Obama.

From Times OnLine:

Senator McGovern had been a high profile Hillary Clinton supporter but today he insisted that she had virtually no chance of winning. The 1972 Democratic presidential nominee said he was endorsing Senator Barack Obama after studying the returns from the North Carolina and Indiana primaries.

“I will hold them in affection and admiration all of my days,” he said of the Clintons, close friends from his early political career.

“She has run a valiant campaign. Hillary, of course, will make the decision as to if and when she ends her campaign. But I hope that she reaches that decision soon so that we can concentrate on a unified party capable of winning the White House next November.”

Dude, STFU!
Reverend Wright and the Death of the Original Day Tripper

Believe me, I desperately want to stop writing about politics as much as you probably want to stop reading about them, but everyday I listen to another outrage or episode on the news and my fingers just take over and start doing their little politics tap-dance on these black plastic keys! I am not in control here! I’m a junkie and I’ve got it bad. I’m shaking and slobbering like a dog, vibrating and contorting; there’s a twitch, a spasm. Damn these fits! There’s only one fix for the political junkie, and right now a fresh new batch of the good strong stuff has hit the streets. So politics it is my fine friends. Bend over and get ready for another five swipes with the paddle — or maybe the switch grass. Corporal punishment is alive and well here in the Immaculate Infection.
Reverend Wright and the National Media Launch Torpedo Attack: A couple of weeks ago I wrote an article in support of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright. I stand by what I said; I think the Reverend is accurate when he says our nation was founded on racism and that our foreign policy has very much to do with our current “terrorism” woes. I also denounced the national media for taking his quotes out of context and replaying them on endless loop in order to paint the man as a radical zealot.

Unfortunately, it seems that Reverend Jeremiah Wright has taken a liking to the national media spotlight. Apparently a combination of failure to grasp the way this national media machine works and an ego-driven need for attention have rendered in him an inability to understand a fundamental fact.
Right now, every time Reverend Jeremiah Wright opens his mouth it will only hurt Senator Barack Obama’s chance to get into the White House. The story has already been framed by the national media; all they are looking for now is a handful of seven-second quotes to color their paint by numbers picture. The Revered has obliged willingly — stepped into the oncoming train that is the National Press Club and unleashed another political firestorm for Obama’s camp to try and desperately extinguish.
My sources tell me that Hillary Clinton came as close as she has in decades to having an orgasm while she watched Wright roll his eyes, flippantly dismiss the intrusive media questions, and deliver a Sunday-style sermon to a cynical godless media ready and waiting to pounce on any hyperbole that might be twisted to fit a landscape littered with but thirsting for more blood. On the other side of the aisle, John McCain witnessed the spectacle and politely dismissed himself to the restroom to jack himself off. Rush Limbaugh was so happy he popped a half-dozen oxys and washed them down with a half a pint of whiskey.

Hillary Clinton and her campaign advisers have decided it wise to accuse Barack Obama of plagiarism. Mass. Governor Deval Patrick is the man Obama allegedly bit off in a recent speech; only problem is that Obama and Patrick are friends, and Patrick has already leaped to Obama’s defense. From the National Ledger…

“Sen. Obama and I are longtime friends and allies. We often share ideas about politics, policy and language… Given the recent attacks from Sen. Clinton, I applaud him [for] responding in just the way he did.”

Bottom line: Hillary is getting desperate. Her campaign is losing steam and, as a result, she has lowered herself to petty mudslinging. It’s only a matter of time before she officially mails it in. At least, that’s the hope.

New York City Mayor, and self proclaimed “not a candidate” for President came out swinging against the recently passed economic stimulus legislation today, saying that the $600-$12oo rebate checks to be paid to American taxpayers as part of the stimulus is “like giving a drink to an alcoholic”

“Nobody wants to sit there and say, ‘Well there’s no easy solution,”‘ Bloomberg said. “They want to send out a check to everybody to stimulate the economy. I suppose it won’t hurt the economy but it’s in many senses like giving a drink to an alcoholic.”

He also noted that the US “has a balance sheet that’s starting to look more and more like a third-world country” but added that his comments were just part of an “experiment” in trying to shape the debate for this year’s election. Experiment eh?

Do political commercials even work on anyone anymore? Well, MoveOn seems to think so. They want you to vote for your favorite. I could just post their YouTube casts here, but really, I thought all of them pretty much sucked and made me hate liberals progressives as much as conservatives.

Fuck it, I’m voting for the corpse of Frank Zappa again.
