Black teen pregnancies? A ‘crisis’ in black America.
White teen pregnancies? A ‘blessed event.’
If you grow up in Hawaii you’re ‘exotic.’
Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, you’re the quintessential ‘American story.’
Similarly, if you name your kid Barack you’re ‘unpatriotic.’
Name your kids Trig and Track, you’re ‘colorful.’
If you’re a Democrat and you make a VP pick without fully vetting the individual you’re ‘reckless.’
A Republican who doesn’t fully vet is a ‘maverick.’

Alzheimer’s is a degenerative and terminal disease for which there is currently no known cure. In its most common form, it occurs in people over 65 years old although a less-prevalent early-onset form also exists. The disease can begin many years before it is eventually diagnosed. In its early stages, short-term memory loss is the most common symptom, often initially thought to be caused by aging or stress by the sufferer. Later symptoms include confusion, anger, mood swings, language breakdown, long-term memory loss, and the general withdrawal of the sufferer as his or her senses decline.
We’ve already seen his confusion, anger and mood swings. Now there is video proof of his memory loss. All aboard…….”The Straight Talk Express”
Now either he has alzheimer’s, or is too old to understand the concept of the video camera and how everything he says can be replayed at a later time. Either way, he’s too damn old to be President.

Thanx George. I’m sure your $150 billion “stimulus package” will help the economy, especially since everything is made in China or India or Honduras now. So when the American people spend that money, where is it going? To an American worker, or straight into the Corporate coffers of companies who are receiving ridiculous tax breaks and subsidies, enjoying record profits while moving jobs overseas exploiting foreign workers by paying them peanuts.
On second thought, we are borrowing this $150 billion, most of it from China (check their balance). So basically, foreign creditors are lending us money for tax rebates, so we can in turn spend that money on foreign goods! That’s like me loaning you $400 to buy an ounce of good off me. Not only do you now owe me $400 (with interest), I also made a profit off the ounce cuzz you spent the money back with me…..It’s a cold game.
The Huffington Post reports:
At a cost of nearly $42 million, the IRS wants you to know: Your check is almost in the mail.The Internal Revenue Service is spending the money on letters to alert taxpayers to expect rebate checks as part of the economic stimulus plan.

10 things you should know about John McCain (but probably don’t):
- John McCain voted against establishing a national holiday in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Now he says his position has “evolved,” yet he’s continued to oppose key civil rights laws.
- According to Bloomberg News, McCain is more hawkish than Bush on Iraq, Russia and China. Conservative columnist Pat Buchanan says McCain “will make Cheney look like Gandhi.”
- His reputation is built on his opposition to torture, but McCain voted against a bill to ban waterboarding, and then applauded President Bush for vetoing that ban.
- McCain opposes a woman’s right to choose. He said, “I do not support Roe versus Wade. It should be overturned.”
- The Children’s Defense Fund rated McCain as the worst senator in Congress for children. He voted against the children’s health care bill last year, then defended Bush’s veto of the bill.
