Wow. The McCain campaign is clutching at straws here.
Sarah Palin came to California...to Carson of all places and was talking about Obama having ties with terrorists. Because he met William Ayers a few times.
Meanwhile no mention is made of the fact that Todd Palin; is actively involved in a political movement for Alaska to succeed from the union.
I am just so sick of McCain. And his smear tactics. He can't talk the issues so all he does is smear smear smear. He can't get Obama on the issues and get ahead in the polls so he'll pull any dirty trick out of his old decrepit hat to try and smear the guy.
And I am so tired of the McCain cult who like to go around saying Hussein this and Hussein that. What does a middle name have to do with anything.
Did you know:
That Sarah Palins middle name is Hitler?
That John McCain was a POW so he probably engaged in homosexual prison sex while detained?
That Todd Palin impregnated poor Bristol, made her give birth to a down syndrome baby and then Sarah decided to tell everyone it was her own baby?
None of these things are true. But I don't care. They're rumors on the internet and since Barrack is too much of a gentleman to hit back with dirty tricks I think all of his supporters should circulate as many misinformed and reactionary emails as possible.
These bastards are not going to steal another election by scaring people into voting for the old decrepit fart and the Fargo cast reject.

Our 3 Tillion Dollar War and the Financial Crisis...And the VP debates
Watched the Vice Presidential debates.
It's funny that John McCain's support of the bailout means that some things will have to be sacrificed. He's not a big fan of government spending.
Yet the war has so far cost us 3 trillion dollars. And that has contributed heavily to this financial crisis because all of that money has been borrowed.
Sarah Palin did ok which means she did better than most people expected. So when you're expectations are super low you always come out on top. But Joe Biden...wow. He did an awesome job.
When Joe Biden panders to middle America...it sounds sincere. To the point where it doesn't seem like pandering at all. It really sounds like he means what he says from the bottom of his heart.
When Sarah Palin Panders it sounds like she regurgitating talking points.
I guess this could be my bias against her. But I would say that although I sincerely believe Barrack Obama cares about the working poor and the middle class but when he and John McCain talk about "main street" it really makes me cringe. Not all normal middle class Americans live in a small town homogenous main street.
But when Biden does it he really sounds sincere. I found him to be really charming. Good pick Barrack. It was the safe choice but had you not picked Biden and picked Hillary; McCain wold have picked the whitest McWhiteyson to show a contrast between the party of liberals and minorities (though women are not minorities) and the party that LOOKS most presidential.
Sarah Palin will be the nail in John McCains coughin.

Please Support Gay Marriage in California!
Gay marriage is now legal in California. But unfortunately a group is trying to add a constitutional amendment to the ballot that would take away that right. It will be voted on in November.
I personally believe that the popular vote should have no bearing on whether me or people like me have rights. Why should some old lady in Fresno have a right to say whether or not gay people should have the right to get married when she has probably never even met one?
Back in 1967 California legalised interracial marriage. And conservatives called it Judicial Tyranny. But that's what the courts are there for. To protect our rights and make sure everyone is treated fairly.
I personally do not believe that we should leave this up to "Democracy" because if you look historically at the popular vote: it was used to keep slavery around, it was used to keep segregation around, and now it is being used to try and give gay people a seperate but equal version of marriage. Well seperate but equal is anything but equal.
if this amendment goes to ballot please; in November, vote against it and tell all your friends and family members to also. John and Bob getting married is not going to affect your life, it's not going to affect your pocketbook...it has no affect whatsoever to heterosexuals. So please...

"In Germany they came first for the Communists, And I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist;
And then they came for the trade unionists, And I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist;
And then they came for the Jews, And I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew;
And then . . . they came for me . . . And by that time there was no one left to speak up."
We are not a dictatorship. Gay people are not scapegoats. We are not the reason the country is sucking right now. Don't brush this off because you think it doesn't apply for you. If you give the state the right to take away the rights of few...eventually they will take away the rights of many.

The Curve of Apollols Neck
The curve of Apollo's neck
The curve of your neck,
as it cuts into your ears
and then connects to your chin
is an absolute marvel to behold
the line between light and dark skin
connecting at your bicep,
your smile, your eyes,
your jagged smile
equally awkward and unique,
they come together to create you're soft gentle face
clinging so tightly to your bones
you witthold thousands of years of observation
with your lips sealed tightly
you dare not speak of the time the discus struck your head
humbling you before apollo and reborn into the tall slender frame you possess today
in the form of what is best in both men
Apollos strength and the energetic youth of Hyacinthus
And I Zephyrus
watching from the west
can only long to hold you, so far and so distant
that the gods would make me reborn in the image of hyacinthus
so i could be slight, and tiny, crushed underneath the arms of this new Apollo
And Chronus laughs over me
so i sigh and sit passively
longing to trace that curve up into your ears and across your chin and up to your cheeks
to have one kiss, and then wither away
Gone but not forgotten

The Fall TV Schedule
I don't really understand why we cannot watch foreign TV (even when it's from an English speaking country) The new fall TV schedule is filled with American versions of foreign TV shows.
From the UK: Life on Mars, and the Eleventh Hour.
From Australia: Kath and Kim.
Why?? When I lived in London we'd watch Neighbors and Secret Life of Us (Australian) and all the American shows like Friends, CSI, etc etc in their original versions.
BBC America seems to be doing incredibly well. HBO just signed up to air the incredibly hilarious "Summer Heights High." Why do the networks believe that Americans are too stupid or not sophisticated enough to enjoy these series in their original form?
Ricky Gervais is in a new blockbuster movie. So there have to be Americans out there who know who he is and like him enough to go and see the movie. Otherwise the studios would have never cast him in the lead.
There's my rant. I'm not going to support these remakes. I think our original shows are better than remakes anyways. The Simpsons, 30 Rock, The Sarah Silverman Program. We don't need to steal from other countries.

Vice Presidential Debates
I am pretty excited about tomorrow. Everyone seems to be saying though that Sarah Palin is being prepped and prepped and prepped so not to expect her to do too badly.
But if her past performance on CBS is any indicator; this could be a gaffe-filled fest which will give Tina Fey plenty of fodder.
Of course Biden is known for gaffes. And everyone is worried that he might go overboard in wiping the floor with Palin. I'm not sure why. Reagan Bush wonm and when Bush (sr) faced off against Ferraro in their Vice Presidential debate Bush was mercilessly condescending; yet they still won the election.
You know nobody would coddle Hillary if she was up there and I don't see why the media insists that Palin must be treated with kid gloves or the rednecks will revolt and cry 'bias bias!'
I'd love to see both Obama and Biden take some below the belt punches. When you're up against dirty sneaky Republicans you can't be gentlemanly. Americans seem to respond well to aggression. How else can you explain Bush Jr winning twice.
As Bill Maher said yesterday on the 'Daily Show' Obama needs a catchphrase like "There you go again old man" or "Honkey please."
