so the republicans are trying to make a big deal out of the fact that barack obama lived sort of near
to a 60's political radical, bill ayers.
in the late 60's(when obama was EIGHT YEARS OLD)bill ayers was involved in a radical
political group, the weather underground.
now he and obama live sort of near each other.
and that's what the republicans are using to smear obama?
that when obama was 8 years old and living in hawaii with his mom one of his current neighbors
was involved in a radical polical group?
are the republicans that desperate?
to look at the gop candidates:
mccain, on the other hand, was an actual member of The U.S. Council of World Freedom.This group "blamed everything on the Jews," and "even accused Pope John Paul of being a Jew." They also had specific and documented ties to neo-nazi organizations.
so, obama accidentally lives near a 60's radical who was engaged in 60's radicalism when obama was EIGHT YEARS OLD.
mccain, on the other hand, chose to be a member for 4 years of an organization with neo-nazi ties and who blamed the worlds problems on the jews.
oh, and sarah palin and her husband were involved in a group calling for alaskan secession.
isn't that treason?
palin and her husband were members of the alaska independence party, whose founder Joe Vogler told an interviewer: "The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government. ... And I won't be buried under their damn flag."
huh, she's running as pro-american when she and her husband belong to an anti-american organization?
memo to john mccain and sarah palin: don't throw stones if you live in a glass house.

Icerockethalloween is coming up.
halloween is coming up.
do they celebrate halloween everywhere?
am i ignorant?
is it a u.s-only holiday like thanksgiving or presidents day?
halloween is, without question, the best day of the year in nyc. the weather's usually just starting to get cold.
everyone dresses up(even bus drivers and subway station clerks and the guys making
sandwiches in the deli). and the halloween parade is invariably awesome.
for the last 10 years i've wanted to be corky st. claire for halloween. and for the last 10 years
i've failed in putting my corky st. claire costume together(mainly because it requires a goatee).
perhaps this year i'll be able to get the yellow sweater vest and the bad toupee and the depressing
goatee and finally be able to be corky st. claire for halloween.
oh, when i was in l.a a few days ago i saw that trashy lingerie(for which you need a $1 membership
in order to enter. i got mine in 1992)had a very ambitious halloween window.
ambitious and scary. here's their window.
only 3 weeks to halloween.
oh, you know what would be a REALLY scary halloween costume?
president palin.
you could have one hand on the button and the other hand leading your pet dinosaur down the street.

Last night during the debate joe biden got choked up at one point
Last night during the debate joe biden got choked up at one point, and was for a brief second on the verge of tears.
A friend of mine asked me 'why did joe biden get choked up?'
Well, Joe bidens first wife was killed in a car crash, and both his sons were badly injured. He was sworn into the senate from his sons hospital bed, and he was a single parent for many years.
As a result he has taken the train from his house to washington every day for the last 24 years so that he could be at home with his sons every morning and every night(the train from delaware to dc is now called 'the biden express').

did you see this?
did you see this?
equal parts horrifying and cringe-worthy.
my butt is more qualified to be vice-president than this woman.
it's not just that she doesn't have the right answers, she doesn't
even understand the question.
and that she thinks that somehow repeating the same platitudes over and over
again will fool people into thinking that she's answered the question.
