…and my mom sent this to me. Bringing back memories of “I’m Fucking Matt Damon.” Enjoy!

McCain, whaaaat? Obama, who?!

I’m telling you, it’s all about Anderson Cooper!!!

If any man can save this nation, it’s The Silver Fox! yeah, staring into those baby blues is so subliminal, it could only result in wold peace right? well, at least a few cents off the gas pump (i hope).

Anderson is not only politically savvy but he’s also keen on pop culture and isn’t afraid to speak his mind. and yes, he too is sick of Lindsay Lohan…

Clayton Williams is a well known person when it comes to Texas politics for all the wrong reasons. During his gubernatorial election campaign in 1990 he made some crude jokes about rape including, “As long as it’s inevitable, you might as well lie back and enjoy it.” The remarks were publicized and played a huge role in his loss that year.

Williams recently became a fundraiser for John McCain and put together an event that would have raised $300,000 for McCain. McCain does like sexist jokes. Right around the time of the fundraiser, McCain was supposed to be gaining women supporters who were disappointed by Hillary Clinton’s loss. He did this by publicizing his love for horrible Swedish pop sensations, ABBA. When the McCain campaign was asked about Williams remarks on rape he canceled the fundraiser.

Now it turns out that the fundraiser was not canceled and the money is still in circulation. The venue is just shifting to a new location.

With all this talk about the Stimulus check and social empathy, I thought a nice lil music video would be a great way to tie it all together. I heard this spoken rap, by Lazy Boy, a few years ago and every once a year I am reminding of it, while waiting in the drive thru, behind twenty cars, when there is NO ONE inside, at the counter, or when I see a homeless man, asking for change. This is a great commentary on how we act towards each other, as human beings. So take a break from your day, sit down, and laugh a little, while being reminded that your underwear goes OUTSIDE your pants. He may be lazy, but this boy is def on to something!

Okay……………………….WHO GIVES A SHIT?

For Chrissakes people, as much as I prefer Obama over Clinton, if anyone is in an uproar over what one of Hilary’s advisers said behind closed doors, they’re simply trying too hard. Really, people? Apparently, while gloating over returns in 1992, Bill Clinton Adviser Mickey Kantor referred to Indiana voters as “Shit,” and made a reference to themas being “worthless white niggers.” Oh wow, what a shock: salty political discussion not meant for public consumption. Who knew? Indiana wasn’t that important, so I imagine the round table discussion was over how much resources they should have spent in the state of lesser importance. Now Kantor is on Hilary’s team, and, in an attempt to divert flack from Rev Wright’s recent comments, the Obama camp is using the same hare-brained tactics against their opponents. Guilt by association? C’mon!
First of all, anyone who lives in Indiana is Shit, or else they would have moved to Portland by now*. Second of all, this happened 16 years ago - is this the best you can come up with Obama minions? Hilary is a career-politician with her hand fisting the pork barrel piggy bank for decades and this is the dirt you spread? ODB, say what’s on my mind:

Thanks, Dirty. Plus, that may even be doctored footage, according to director D.A. Pennebaker, who claims the footage comes from his 1993 film “The War Room.” Whatever. People, this is dumb. Save the dirty politics for talk radio.

* Just playing with you Indiana. You know I love you, boo.

House Staffers and Political Pigs are getting all upset because Legistorm.com is posting already public information about their finances. Staffers who make more than $110,000 a year are required by law to make their information public. The web site, which has been in existence since 2006, recently started publishing information on use of public monies and personal finances. Some legislators are worried about identity theft. I’m more worried that my representatives, or the bulk of them, are milking the system and selling their constituencies down the river.

From their web site:

The information is provided in a strictly factual, non-partisan fashion. We have no political affiliations and no political purpose except to make the workings of Congress as transparent as possible. We expect this resource to be useful to journalists, researchers, lobbyists and current and would-be staffers - as well as regular citizens who simply want to know how their representatives spend public money.

The Number One Terrible Thing about American politics is the monetization of it. The adage “Money is the root of all evil” is especially true when it comes to politics. I say good for Legistorm. Maybe, JUST MAYBE, if we know where and how our representatives are spending their money we can get some damned accountability. It’s better than driving a stake through their black and callous, self-serving hearts. (Hey, I know my stance is slanted against political figures. At least I don’t’ advocate voting with a bullet, alright?)

Take Part Blog’s suggestion that Legistorm may have been created by The Wire character Lester Freamon is pretty on point. Any Public Figure who is speaking out against Legistorm MOST LIKELY has something terrible they’re trying to hide. Fuck ‘em. Let em writhe.
