You gays must just learn to protest only when it is not important to the rest of us - Obama

[Please click on title to read original article]

Wait a second...so they create a seven page questionnaire, make a big deal of Clinton's wheeling and dealing, and pick her anyway after her husband's foundation was funded by Blackwater (go read the news. If this surprised you, you are lazy and not reading).

But, they did not vet this?

Or did they just not care?

On top of not taking a stance on Prop 8, this is just plain, old - fashioned, sexist biogtry.

Thank You Obama and Warren, we now have change...for a dollar, not the other kind everyone voted for.

From hereon, its a slippery slope until 2017...

What's in a name you say...hmm! || Walmart... now serving bigots at a store near you

[Please click on title to read original article]

Hey, wasn't the first amendment supposed to make idiots out of all of us? How can people on the interwebs and a damned cake store take that away from us?

Read here:

You have to hear what the bigot says. "He may grow up and socialize with black people."

Its 2008 and this fellow is still shameless to speak like this...

Oh, and in case you think what this has to do with Walmart?

Well, you could tell why they keep making profits - catering to anyone and everyone that brings business at the footstep.

Hmm..

Okay, so whatever is wrong with Illinois?

[Please click on title to read original article]


First we found out about Blogovoblogogobovich and then Jon Stewart told us that 3 of the last 7 Governors of Chicago went to prison (!) and with Blogovogo..that would make a 50% of Governors going to prison (!!!)....

And then there are these 4 idiots who decided to commit a felony. Robbing for pizza is stupid. Robbing when stupid is impermissably stupid. Being an Illinois'ian is?

This has now finally wiped off the shame wrought on Florida and Texas for...

Illinois is now officially...

Let's hope Obama, and his Chicago heavy cabinet are unlike these pioneers of pizza thievery...

Goldman Sucks Sachs - now bringing 2.0 of incredibly inaccurate oil price predictions

[Please click on title to read original article]

Let's be honest. This is worse than the boy who cried wolf. I did not even read the article. Who cares about the abracadabras that the "analysts", "experts" and whatever other goobs in Goldman cooked up?

The most unnervingly idiotic moment came, in Q3 when oil prices were incessantly falling and Goldman "stood by" its "predictions" of $200 oil.

Were they trying to dupe someone somewhere?

And mind you, when Goldman was "standing by" its numbers, oil was on a slippery slope - should I say pun, intended?

So now these Scooby-Doos are predicting $45 for 2009.

Hmm, I "predict" $700.

If we are throwing numbers, why give a frack how off they are, right?

Are you a tax payer?

If so, it is idiots like this (not exactly Goldman Sucks Sachs - okay why do I keep doing that!) that you "bailed out" while sitting at home jobless or at work fearing it will go away.

Enjoy watching Uncle Sam take your cash to Atlantic City....

Because we can't live without these "teams", "analysts" and "experts"!

Hey! Texas has a new "Global" Village Idiot...

[Please click on title to read original article]

Over the years I have spent on the interwebs (thanks to our friendly neighborhood convicted felon Alaskan Senator Ted Stevens), I have come across many kinds of idiots.

Idiots who thought giving away passwords to online services was bad (when a 3 year old child could "crack" their passwords)

Idiots who thought the 10 emails they were getting was "too much" and "spam"...

Idiots who thought "Linux will take over the world by storm 10 years from now..." (this for the last 10 years...so it's a lovely moving target)

Anyhooo,

This teacher takes the cake, the IgNobel Award, the ....

In the words of the great Carlos Mancia, she is a new-age, reborn, "Did Ti Dee"!!!

Did she sleep through the last 20 years? Does she not know what Linux is or means? Has she never downloaded a "freeware app" in her life?

And she is TEACHING?

At least, she has managed to disappoint the family of "You Know Who" and the "One Who Shall Not be Named (because we are all ashamed of his 8 years of reign of Error)".

How?

Because she has one upped them!

So, is there something in the air of Texas? Or in the Texas "Tea"?

Well, with such people bringing down the collective IQ of our species, at least we can look forward to evolution.

Yes, evolution mes Kansas-ian amis.

Would you really believe God created such geniuses on purpose? You know what that would make God, if it were true...?!!!

The jokes will never end. So, let me just end this post.

F-you says Thain - I did the blindingly obvious and I need to be paid $10 million for it

[Please click on title to read original article]

I seriously don't know what this guy has been smoking. Merrill Lynch had no other choice! They would have FAILED!

You know F-A-I-L-E-D.

Instead, they were urged, egged, and I am sure brow-beaten to do the obvious and now this jerk is seeking $10 million for that?

Well I hope he doesn't get "Lynched" but let's do this....

Let's give him $10 million.

And then, let's investigate him. After all, if Merrill Lynch "nearly" failed, he must be responsible for that somehow, right?

It would be nice to see someone with $10 million in prison...

Seriously, are some of these guys THAT clueless and GREEDY?

The portrayal of Peter Griffin's father-in-law Peter Schwedirmit or whatever is so accurate!

Thain, you are so frickin' vain!

How winning can be the WORST thing that happened to you or the need for Mobile Mormon Churches in California

[Please click on title to read original article]

Alternate Title: Mormon Church Declares - "When we do it, it is moral responsibility, when you do it, it is racism"

At first it appeared that we might have to consider answering the calls to boycott Utah (I am going to be there by month end) or the Mormon Church (I could care the least for any kind of church or temple).

Hmm, but it looks like they dug themselves in.

I am sure the 5-star rateable board room of the Mormon Church in Utah must resemble very little like the place where people who are happy congregate right now.

See, for years, they were practicing on their own corner. First Mitt Romney's unsuccessful run did not make them too happy - almost indicating that at least among conservative voters, Mormonism is not winning any special votes.

Then came Hate, I mean Eight.

I cannot but laugh to think at how much they must be kicking themselves in. Here is what has resulted, all thanks to the Mormon Church and their 22.5 Million $$$:

1. Their church has now been permanently damaged, which even 22.5 Billion $$$$$ cannot fix.

2. Gay Marriage Ban WILL be DEFEATED SOON in California.

I find it amusing thinking forward to a time when we will be calling them to congratulate them on bringing equality to California.

I will blog again that day. Very soon.

To rob the gay man and pay the chicken - California's darkest moment in the 21st century...

[Please click on title to read original article]

I consider myself a Californian, having lived in the lovely, crazy, out of its own mind state for about 7-ish year now. I cherish her history, her peoples, her riches, her Gold and many other things.

However, California has a very very dirty side - Her history includes a radio reporter who once claimed that a plane crash was not of concern because it took with it only "a few deportees".

The city of Los Angeles once tried to prevent fellow Americans enter the city limits during the depression era when they were trying to escape the sand storms.

Then there were other big and small cases of discrimination of immigrants, including efforts to prevent children of illegal immigrants from obtaining education because of choices their parents made...

But nothing breaks your heart more than when Californians show more concern for the animals they are about to eat than the men and women that they live with as a society.

I am not gay and I don't vote. My simple question is, how can we allow money from outside the state and a few priests inaugurate one of our darkest moments in modern history?

I really, really hope the courts set this grave wrong right as soon as possible.

And hopefully, in 2012 the 52-48 will switch around!

As to those protesting peacefully (not you jerks jumping on cars), my heart goes out to you!

Being part of Human History....the election of Barack Obama!!!

There is nothing funny in this post, I don't care who reads it but there is a lot of happiness!!! This is not about politics or partisanship or ideology either.

I am a very hard critic and very very hard to win over, and I don't care what you think about it.

I started with serious doubts of Obama's experience and how he would hold up against a Republican onslaught in a very important year for Democrats. I was a big fan of Hillary Clinton and did not hide my disappointment at her loss.

I was reconciling myself to Obama as a candidate. As the time went on - and between August and now, it was so short indeed, my opinions slowly changed.

Everyone who lives in the time of a hero has a moment of faith.

True, Obama is yet to do what will qualify him to be a hero.

And its not about him being a hero.

Its about the hope he has sold us on.

ANYONE can become ANYTHING there is to become if they are honest to themselves and they have the determination.

Senator Barack Obama converted me on the third and final debate.

There was Senator John McCain, to whom I became endeared through Jon Stewart's Daily Show, really riling him up - saying all these un-McCainly things...

And there was this man, cool, composed, confident and dignified...

That was the moment, I knew, there is no single doubt in my mind - this is the man, Barack Obama who will lead us into a world filled with hope, determination and progress.

True, his Presidency will start riddled with problems. True, tomorrow morning we will not wake up to a world minus suffering.

BUT,

we have hope today.

The hope that millions of people who lived and heard Mahatma Gandhi or Martin Luther King Jr. had.

I have a dream, you have a dream, we all have dreams.

And now, we have one more thing....hope!

History, determination and grit!!!

It never gets better than this. Here I am, sitting in my hotel room, lapping up the news and loading up on coffee..

and there, is a 92 year old woman whose age was not the least part of her determination to be heard. She voted, straight from an ambulance.

No one in their right mind would not want to be part of this moment in history, as we are only hours away from Senator Barack Obama, a person I did not initially support (I was a die-hard Hillary fan and I also used to like the maverick McCain who used to show up on the Daily Show before he went moose hunting and lip-sticking on us!)...

And, I am humbled and honored to see so many people, young and old work with grit and determination to create what will be repeated over and over in history books.

And, I don't even vote...

Viva Owen!!!
