How The Goverment Decides What To Do

If you ever wondered how they decided who to bail out and who they let go bankrupt, Southpark revealed all last night.

Best Explanation of the Press Ever...

Via The Daily Gut

So yesterday during an ideas meeting, a staffer pitched a story about Sarah Palin, focusing on how little we know about her time in college. My blood pressure spiked, because naturally her history – or lack thereof – is far less murkier than Barack Obama's. But it didn't seem to matter, because no matter what you have against the man, it just doesn't stick.

Seriously, the man isn't a presidential candidate – he's a really hot chick.

You know what I mean, right?

You know how when a friend starts dating some girl – let's say a stripper with top of the line implants and a truly remarkable skill involving the projection of ping pong balls – he overlooks everything else. She could be spreading chlamydia like a Jehovah Witness unloading a case of Watchtowers, and it won't matter. Blinded by her beauty, he lets her get away with everything, until your buddy is left broken and broke – riddled with disease, sleeping in your garage and convinced a mob boyfriend wants him dead.

I'm not saying Barack is anywhere near that bad. I'm just saying that when it comes to the media, he possesses that impenetrable force field that every hot chick has – and no matter what you say or do to convince obsessed fans otherwise – it won't work. Face it: if you found out that your new girlfriend, who happened to be Megan Fox - worked with Acorn, hung around with Ayers, and used to do coke back in college – would you care?

Of course you wouldn't! It's Megan Fox!!!

Congratulations: you're now the New York Times.

Of course it's funny, he's paid the big bucks by Fox (the network not the woman...she probably has a restraining order on him) to be funny...I try to be for free and as an added bonus for you the taxpayer I sometimes defend this country, so you get what you pay for.

You're Doing It Wrong...

Idiots on the rampage...I don't care what Republicans spent on Sarah's wardrobe...it's their money. I don't care if anyone spends their own money on hair cuts or anything else for that matter. Republican or Democrat.

What else do the socialists want to regulate, money spent on clothes during a campaign?

Is that all you've got? They spent $150K on her clothes? That's it? That's all you've got to say? Oh yeah and she hunts moose and she's stoopid...thanks for that erudite discussion on things.

In this post excerpted from Knowledge Is Power, Pantsuit maker to the stars, Susanna Chung Forest tells us, why buy your clothes when designers will give you their ugly crap for free?

Susanna Chung Forest, who designed Hillary Clinton’s pantsuits says it would be unusual for a candidate as famous as Sarah Palin to need to buy clothes. ...

“Why do you need to pay for it?” Forest told CBS News from her boutique Susanna Beverly Hills saying that most designers would offer to clothe a candidate for free. “It’s an honor, you are going to design for someone who could be the president of the United States,"…

Senator Clinton’s custom made pantsuits from Forest were worth about $6,350 a piece retail.

If You Lay Down WIth Dogs, Expect To Get Fleas

First of all I didn't watch the debate on Friday night...so I didn't see this first hand. But I have heard of and have seen pictures of SEN Obama wearing this bracelet so I am somewhat familiar with what is being discussed.

A Tale of Two Bracelets

I wish this wasn't a story - but it is.

Mrs. Jopek was an Obama supporter (at least in March of this year) and doesn’t want to sabotage the campaign, so she refused to give interviews. But I found an old radio interview with the father Brian Jopek (who served in Iraq and is now apparently serving at the Guantanamo base):
BRIAN JOPEK: Whatever is decided, we need to make sure that it benefits the American servicemen, and also the Iraqis.

We don’t wanna go back in there in ten years, at a greater cost and more lives.

I sure hope that, whoever is elected, Democrat or Republican, that they look at the big picture and don’t just pull up stakes — or “pop smoke” as we say in the military, because of the political atmosphere.”

Regarding Barack Obama: According to the father, Tracy Jopek wrote to the Senator: “She had asked him not to wear the bracelet.”
The parents are reportedly divorced now. I don't think either wants the spotlight. Nothing I've seen refutes the senator's assertion that “She asked me ‘can you please make sure that another mother is not going through what I’m going through'".

All of this is lamentable. But it should also be a lesson to you. If you don't want to be used for political gain don't send something to a politician that can be manipulated for votes. They are all about getting elected and if it suits their cause they will most likely use it. Sure there are some good guys out there (the POTUS has visited wounded troops and families of the fallen non-stop and has never made a media event of it), but to expect that anything would be between you and the candidate (especially when it can be USED for VOTES)is naive to the extreme.

Express your opinion, send your favorite candidate whatever you'd like but don't be too surprised when the KIA bracelet you sent ends up being used as a prop. It's what these people do.

It's Election Season...

Although I'm sure Don Henley would have as much a problem with people using this to describe what's happening to Sarah Palin as the female members of Heart do with them using Barracuda
