AND she has a son in the armed forces being deployed to IRAQ??
The (potential) Vice President’s son is serving in Iraq.
If Dick Cheney sent his kid to fight in Iraq, a lot of the hostility directed at the white house might not have happened. Remember that whole Draft the Bush Twins thing?
I can’t believe John McCain took this chance. But I really do think that he might make it into office now.
John McCain has picked the 44-year-old governer of Alaska as his running mate. As the picture clearly shows, she is a woman.
Well played, sir. Well played.
I was not expecting this. I think that a lot of people who were on the fence will now go with McCain. Especially the people who are still bitter that Hillary didn’t get the nomination.
He would not have made this choice had Hillary got the nomination. In fact, he’d probably have picked a black guy.
I can’t help but think of the Commander in Chief scenario. In that show, Gena Davis was the younger female running mate who ultimately got the male president elected because she brought the youth and female vote with her. A few years later, the president dies.
John McCain is old, and old people die, so maybe this woman will be the next President of the United States?
Either way, we’re now guaranteed an even more historic moment in… history.
Now, many of these plans will cost money, which is why I’ve laid out how I’ll pay for every dime — by closing corporate loopholes and tax havens that don’t help America grow. But I will also go through the federal budget, line by line, eliminating programs that no longer work and making the ones we do need work better and cost less — because we cannot meet 21st-century challenges with a 20th-century bureaucracy.

I knew it would happen eventually, and I knew that the guys would look exactly as they do. The guy in the middle even looks exactly like Cletus.
So I was just out and about on the information super-highway this morning, scanning for news about dorky stuff, and I decide to check up on the status of my most anticipated game of 2009: Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe. Turns out they released some new footage, including these:
That’s Sonya getting a back massage from Superman, who does not like what he sees in her mouth.
And that’s Sonya.
And that’s the creepy ass Joker, who I was hoping would look more like Heath-Joker, but this is good, too. Apparently his fighting style is using things like razor cards, bombs, and shooting acid from his little baton.
Anyway, I also found a random link to a new Street Fighter movie. I assumed it was animated and didn’t pay it much attention until I saw that it starred Kristen Kreuk (Lana Lang from Smallville) as Chun-Li, and the name of the movie is “The Legend of Chun-Li.”
I can’t believe the average audience will go and see it, but I’m excited. The casting seems to be pretty good. In addition to this…
…Michael Clarke Duncan will play Balrog (the boxer). Jean-Claudde Van Damme has apparently refused to reprise his role as Guile, because he’s “very careful” as to what movie roles he takes. Because he’s been in so much stuff lately.
I’m kind of - eh - about Joe Biden. I really don’t know much about the guy, and was honestly expecting someone that would carry a little more of the elusive uumph-factor. I was hoping for Wesley Clark, personally. He was the guy I wanted in 2004, and when he didn’t get the nomination then I was hoping Kerry would pick him for VP. I think Obama/Clark would be awesome.
I’ve been getting lots of random phone calls lately. Since my phone is never near me, I never answer it, and the numbers are always weird. The other day I was next to my phone when it rang, so I answered it. A computer says, “Hello, this is a courtesy call to inform you that your car’s warranty is dangerously close to expiring. If you’d like to renew it, press #1.” I oprima numero uno, because I have no warranty on my car and am amazed at the blatant lie that, sadly, people probably fall for.
A woman answers and says, “Good afternoon, I understand you’re interested in extending your car’s warranty.”
I say something like, “No, I’m not, I don’t even have a warranty. I’d appreciate it if you took me off of your list.”
There is a pause on the other end. I say, “So….? Allright?”
Another pause. Then, “whatever.” Click.
A telemarketer hung up on me. I was so offended, I couldn’t even be upset. I’m pretty sure there is something illegal happening here, but I don’t have the energy to do anything about it.
I think the best way to deal with telemarketers is to use the Ken Keniff voice.
Them: “Good afternoon, I understand you’re interested in extending your car’s warranty.”
Me: “Ohhh fuck yea. Extend that shit. Mmmm, thank you.”
Them: “May I have your credit card number please?”
Me: “The number is 516. 87. 3617.”
Them: “Credit cards have more numbers, sir.”
Me: “Mmmm, oh! yea, you know it. Mmm, yeah.”
Other than playing poker on my laptop for an hour or two on Saturday and Sunday, I didn’t touch the computer once this weekend. My iMac hasn’t even been turned on in 4 days! I feel like this is an accomplishment, but don’t know why.
…one of those people who say “nay” instead of no.
This is funny. Before I re-read it as “Main Version,” I thought it said “Man Version,” and it made sense.
