McCain Fails To Condemn Jerome Corsi

Sun Aug 17, 2008 at 06:19:04 PM PDT

What if Barack Obama received an endorsement from a known 9/11 Conspiracy Theorist and did not condemn them? The outlandish rumors that Senator Obama is a closet Muslim would only escalate. If Senator Obama failed to condemn this person’s views on the 9/11 attacks, he would be condemned by Democrats and Republicans alike and would lose his presidential campaign in a landslide. Nothing would save him from there on out.

Why does Senator John McCain get a free ride?

Impeachment: "It’s Too Late..."

Wed Aug 13, 2008 at 09:35:11 AM PDT

The halls of justice where people once marched lie vacant with only shadows covered by dust and cobwebs. The libraries ransacked and the law books censored to protect the guilty. The arachnids have long but abandoned their webs and the bats their rafters, allowing the repulsive locusts to devour democracy’s rich harvest and watching a parasite’s jaw clamp down on roots in plain sight. This land is barren and is a place where the sound of flapping wings buzzes in the ears like a prairie motorcycle on its way to the wasteland where it rains dust from a seldom traveled road, and where thick smoke from a traveler’s exhaust pipe fills a once blue sky.
Nothing grows here, and the occupants of this land willingly believe that it is too late to harvest, the life giving seeds on their shelves and in their cupboards sitting unplanted. The citizens have surveyed their drought land, seeing what the sand has made of their air, water, soil and livelihoods. A strong gust of wind had knocked the sheriff flat on his back and set tumbleweeds ablaze. There were those who believed that Armageddon was approaching, and to them, hell’s existence was unquestioned. For years, the ever evolving ideals of freedom and liberty gave this land its fertility and its vibrancy.

McCain Stalks Obama In New Attack Ad

Thu Jul 24, 2008 at 09:44:08 AM PDT

John McCain claims that the media is "in love" with Barack Obama. John McCain has decided to make a Valentine's video, and people get to vote for the winner. One video has 86% of the vote, the other has 14%. Vote for the lesser of the two. Senator McCain does not expect liberals to look on his webpage and vote, but we can sabotage the video with enough votes. You can vote for the worse video here.

McCain: Guantanamo Bay Flip Flop

Fri Jun 20, 2008 at 10:27:28 AM PDT

Straight-talkin' John McCain is finally back to saying something worth listening to. After a week in which the Senator declared he wasn't sure if condoms stopped the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, McCain, in an interview with Britain's Sunday Telegraph, has vowed to try and fix that "ugly American" image that our current president has helped foster in much of the world. How to accomplish this feat? First, close the prison at Guantanamo Bay and "expedite judicial proceedings" for the remaining prisoners.

David Horowitz at UC Santa Cruz: Snot Rocket

Wed May 28, 2008 at 01:45:58 PM PDT

Fox News contributor David Horowitz visited UC Santa Cruz to explain how  conservative viewpoints are not represented in an academic setting. You may remember that Horowitz has called UC Santa Cruz the worst school in the country, based on his conversations with five students. I am serious, he only talked to five students. Though many students were forced to watch David Horowitz's speech from outside of the auditorium, that did not stop Horowitz from making fun of the people outside. We heard later that he called us "racist bigots". One person on the outside held up a sign saying "Kill Whitey" which most of the others outside, including myself, opposed. Ironically, it was written by the same guy who disrupted Horowitz's presentation. There is one funny segment in the clip At 1:38 and 1:52 into the clip, as Horowitz pops a snot bubble. Send this clip to Media Matters if you think it is deserving of being shown.

John McCain: "Negotiating With Terrorists Is Not As Effective As Handing Them Our Weapons." (Satire)

Mon May 19, 2008 at 09:42:07 AM PDT

President Bush commemorated Israel's 60th birthday by launching a political attack on the Democratic presidential candidates.

"Some seem to think that we should negotiate with the terrorists and the radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them that they have been wrong all along," said President Bush. "In actuality, the only thing that will appease the terrorists is cold hard cash."

President Bush Summons and Tortures Ghost of President Eisnehower

Thu Mar 06, 2008 at 12:12:41 PM PDT

George W. Bush may not have known at the time, but his tap dance on the steps of the white house summoned the ghost of former U.S. president and war hero, General Dwight D. Eisenhower. The former general arrived in the oval office, much to the president's surprise.

President George W. Bush jumped out of his shoes when he saw Eisenhower on his personal phone line. "Hey, who are you and why are you sitting at my desk communicating with the terrorists?"

The general explained to President Bush that he was not communicating with America's enemies but merely informing other white house officials of his historic visit.

"A likely story, Mr. Eisonhooters, if that is your real name." said President Bush, "It's a good thing that we allow America's giant telecom companies to spy on Americans in secrecy and without court ordered warrants. I caught you red handed."

Eisenhower's jaw dropped and he slowly put the phone down.

Ralph Nader Courts Dead Voters (Satire)

Wed Feb 27, 2008 at 06:05:47 PM PDT

Ralph Nader, a former presidential candidate, is throwing his head back into the ring; even when the vast majority of Democrats want his head under a guillotine. Even Ralph Nader’s most vigilant supporters in 2000, such as Michael Moore and Bill Maher, have previously pleaded to him not to run. He is now so desperate for support that he is lecturing rocks and pigeons to vote for him.
Though Ralph Nader is running out of options, he still has something to fall back on: the grave. Nader wants to revoke the laws that make it illegal for dead citizens to vote, arguing that, "dead people have faced the greatest amount voting discrimination, with zombies constantly being turned away from the polls." Nader calls this form of discrimination, "troubling."

Bush Diary: What, No WMDs?; I’m Abducted by Aliens

Wed Feb 13, 2008 at 04:02:30 PM PDT

FROM JANUARY 19, 2005

Dear Jernal,
I was shocked to turn on CNN to find that they are replacing Tucker Carlson with Jon Stewart. That is almost as bad as replacing me with Al Franken. The only show I lissen to on Air America Radio is the Randi Rhodes show. There a conservative referred to her as "Sir" instead of "Ma'am." Way to brake the gender divide, my friend! Then I switched the channel to heer that the liberals started the war in Eye-rack. Way to think logistically, Rush!

Can you believe that the search for WMDs was called off and no stockpiles were found? Imagine that! Good thing I don't wurk at CBS: I would be fired!

2008 Presidential Cabinet, Part 3

Wed Jan 30, 2008 at 06:23:08 PM PDT

The next president of the United States of America will need a team of advisors that will fix what the Bush Adminstration has broken. This means putting together a team of well-qualified experts to find solutions to escalating problems, both nationally and domesticcally and internationally, is  essential. These people must not only advise but must take the lead on solving world problems, and I feel that the people on this list are the most qualified to lead the nation to a more prosperous tomorrow. Here are my proposed cabinet secretaries from T to W, from the Secretary of the Treasury to the World Bank Director.

Bill O'Reilly: War On Christmas Update

Sat Dec 15, 2007 at 04:01:45 PM PDT

Welcome to the O'Reilly Factor.

I have a quick update. I am taking Barnes & Nobel off of my own personal naughty list because they are selling my book at their stores. I can now announce than though Al Franken is still on the bad list, Satan's name has been removed. That's right. Now you may imagine that I would be against the Prince of Darkness and his worshipers on DailyKos.com. Well hell just froze over.

It turns out that Satan is handing out my latest book for free to every member of hell. Way to go, Satan. Finally, hell has something worth while to offer. Hey, wait a minute...

This 32:43 documentary film takes you to the real world of China's toy factories. Workers tell us about long working hours, low wages, and dangerous work places. Those who protest or try to organize trade unions risk imprisonment. Low labor costs attract more and more companies to China. Today more than 75% of our toys are made in China and this industry takes its toll on the workers and on the environment.
