McCain Earns Dick Cheney Endorsement

And Barack Obama's response is wonderful!

I'd like to congratulate Senator McCain on this endorsement because he really earned it. That endorsement didn't come easy. Senator McCain had to vote 90 percent of the time with George Bush and Dick Cheney to get it. He served as Washington's biggest cheerleader for going to war in Iraq, and supports economic policies that are no different from the last eight years. So Senator McCain worked hard to get Dick Cheney's support.

But here's my question for you, Colorado: do you think Dick Cheney is delighted to support John McCain because he thinks John McCain's going to bring change? Do you think John McCain and Dick Cheney have been talking about how to shake things up, and get rid of the lobbyists and the old boys club in Washington?

Those McCain-Supporting Pussies!

I was on a business trip this week and I forgot to remove my Obama magnet when I parked in the airport parking lot. Just as I figured, some jackass Republican shit-for-brains stole the magnet and poured coffee on my car.

What the holy happy horse fuck is it with people who do such lame-brained shit? ...like that will cause me to vote for McCain?

Will Stevens' Senate Seat Go Dem?

Now that Republican Senator Ted Stevens, convicted liar and thief, has had his day in court - and lost - it will be interesting to see if those chowderheads in Alaska vote him out of office. They should - which means one more Senator on the Democratic side.

At this rate, the Democrats could gain a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate (that'd be 60). And that may be scary, but it means the Dems won't have any more excuses and the Dems will get the blame/credit for the next few years.

And the Dems stand to gain in the House of Representatives, too. Of course, my district will likely go back to being Republican. Nick Lampson has done a very good job the past two years (especially during the aftermath of the recent hurricane) but the district is so hopelessly gerrymandered to skew Republican that not even Jesus Christ could win if he ran as a Democrat.

I Voted Today

I took advantage of early voting and voted today around 10AM.

There were no lines, but there were a good number of folks there voting for a Friday morning.

It looks like the turnout for this election will be huge... I hope that is a good thing.

Obama-Biden Tax Cut Calculator

Barack Obama will cut taxes for 95 percent of working families, and provide at least three times as much tax relief for middle class families as John McCain. The Obama/Biden plan provides $1,000 of tax relief for workers and new tax benefits to help families pay for college, childcare and save for retirement.

Palin as President?

Check out the Palin as President site.

Be sure to click on the picture to enjoy all the crazy goings-on during a Palin administration. I especially enjoyed the dinosaur walking by the window and throwing the dart at the crazy baby names on the wall... not so much shredding Roe v. Wade, though!

How Does Experience Equate to Presidential Greatness?

I thought it would be interesting to bring an article to everyone's attention that examines the experience of the US presidents against their historical "greatness" at executing the job of president.

This scatter graph from the article linked above is quite interesting:



The bottom line of the article is this: "There does not appear to be any relation between experience and greatness."
