The Affirmative Case: Dave for McCain {Political Machine Blog}
Oct 10th 2008 6:00PM Democrats say that a McCain administration would be a third term for Bush. I say that an Obama administration would be a second term for Jimmy Carter. His economy was terrible and he nearly surrendered to terrorists. He sold the Panama Canal to the Panamanians when it was run by a dictator and didn't prevent Iran from becoming an Islamic nation that now threatens its neighbors with nuclear destruction. He also became a willing victim of OPEC and forced banks to start giving mortgages to those that couldn't afford them normally. That mistake will cost us over a trillion dollars, if that little.
Carter was too nice to be President and too inept. Obama could be too nasty and driven ideologically toward a radical nation to be President. He supports a Kenyan tribal leader that started a race war there and worked with a domestic terrorist to help make the Chicago school system one of the worst in the nation as far as the number of hours in the classroom and days in the school year go. The requirements are more lax when they should be stricter.
I fear for this nation if the voters elect Obama. Then again, maybe the Rapture is near and he won't be the only one to blame for the conditions in this nation.
The Affirmative Case: Tommy For Obama {Political Machine Blog}
Oct 10th 2008 5:44PM From what I have heard from Obama and if I apply logical reasoning to what he has said, he opposed the war which liberated millions of Iraqis and thinks Saddam should have continued murdering innocent victims in Iraq and giving money to the families of terrorist bombers in Israel. He also wants to punish those that invest the most money in the economy and wants to impose a windfall profits tax on oil companies that in the past has reduced the amount of fuel we have available. He thinks that businesses won't pass along the increased taxes to the customers or that companies will still do business in this country with all its taxes and regulations when they can become more profitable overseas.
McCain also supports alternative energy research. But to eliminate oil and coal years before we can make the full conversion would be like trading the horses that pull carriages in Central Park with starving poodles.
A person's character usually determines how they will act. Since Obama destroyed most who stood in his way of power, I expect him to contiue the destruction if he is elected. If I were to compare McCain to Hindenberg and Obama to Hitler, I'm afraid that if McCain were to win in November, he might step aside to prevent race riots or revolts from Democrats just like Hindenberg did to allow Hitler to rule Germany.
As for the economy, I would rather let Stevie Wonder drive me down to Manhattan during morning rush hour than have Obama and the Democrats drive the economy since they would be much more dangerous.
Boxer Oscar Diaz Conscious and Stable, Two Months After Life-Threatening Brain Injury {Fanhouse Boxing Blog}
Sep 20th 2008 1:50AM If we banned all sports that were dangerous, our Sunday afternoons would feature professional chess tournaments and curling. Sports gamblers would only have marbles and tiddly winks to bet on. If boxing becomes illegal, it will go underground like the ultimate fighting bouts do and would never be regulated. More people would die.
Will a second economic stimulus revive Obama's campaign? {BloggingStocks}
Sep 11th 2008 7:30PM Bill Gates supports the Democrat Party as does many other billionaires. Some of the richest people in Washington are Democrats in Congress and the Senate. The reason why the wealthiest Americans received so much in tax cuts was because they pay the most in taxes. Emptying a swimming pool's worth of water from the Atlantic ocean isn't as significant as emptying a bath tub full of water from a pond. That's what the tax cuts were like. Besides, if Obama is elected, he'll soak the rich and then the rest of the people will feel how bad the economy with less investment captal available can be.
Best School Shows of All Time {Inside TV Blog}
Sep 1st 2008 6:21PM It was Warren Beaty who got his start on "The Many Loves of Doby Gillis." I believe his girlfriend was played by Tuesday Weld. I can always remember the start of each program with the statue of "The Thinker" shown and Doby sitting like him and contemplating some idea.
Sean "Puffy" Combs grounding private jet -- to save bucks {WalletPop}
Aug 30th 2008 8:48PM Since Puffy votes mainly for Democrats who have refused to allow us to drill offshore and in more places around the United States and build more refineries that would lower the price for jet fuel, he has nothing to complain about. He voted for higher prices. And you can be sure his candidate Obama, if he were President, would jack up his taxes and force him to use public hospitals where the care will deteriorate and could possibly cost him his life.
'Animal House' Cast: Where Are They Now? {Inside Movies Blog}
Aug 30th 2008 11:56AM I remember that soon after the movie became a big hit, Steven Spielberg used Belushi in the movie "1941" and some other cast members of "Animal House" trying to make a movie just as funny and popular. his movie was a comical take on what actually happened when a Japanese submarine shelled the refinery at Long Beach, California. It even had Christopher Lee as a Nazi who had given the Japanese what they needed for the attack. Before Spielberg started directing the movie he did a video diary and said either the movie would be a big hit or it would be one of his biggest flops. It became an expensive flop with special effects not even able to save it.
Marvelyn Brown: Young, Beautiful, and HIV Positive {Black Voices Blog}
Aug 22nd 2008 7:28PM I know of at least half a dozen possible cures for AIDS. (1)GENETIC MANIPULATION, (2)BIOSYNTHETIC ANTIBODIES, (3)DIALYSIS (if detected in time), (4)TARGETTING FOR A BIOLOGICAL ATACK ON THE VIRUS, (5)CHEMICAL DISECTION OF THE VIRUS, and (6)ENCAPSULATION OF THE VIRUS AND INFECTED TISSUE. Some of the techniques that will be used to combat AIDS will also help in the war against cancer.
Cheerleaders Liberated from Overloaded Elevator {Asylum}
Aug 9th 2008 12:30PM You have to remember, they were cheerleaders. They confirm the belief that cheerleaders are dumber than regular people.
Worst Action Movie Cliches {Inside Movies Blog}
Jul 26th 2008 6:54PM (1)LET ME REASON WITH HIM AND SHOW HIM WE MEAN HIM NO HARM
These are some of the last words scientists say when confronting an alien who would rather rip your face off than talk with you.
(2)WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?
Often we immediately find out what could possibly go wrong.
(3)I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING
Often he's wrong
(4)AFTER ALL THESE YEARS I'M FINALLY GOING TO RETIRE
He should say EXPIRE.
(5)PISTOLS ARE MORE ACCURATE THAN RIFLES AND MACHINE GUNS
How many times have you seen bad guys firing their rifles at the good guy and missing and he can shoot them with his pistol? Also, how many times have you seen a good guy in a western pull out his 6-shooters and fire a dozen or more shots from each gun before needing to reload?
(6)THE MORE TENSE THE SITUATION, THE SLOWER TIME SEEMS TO PASS
When you saw the first Indiana Jones film and he had to slide under the rock door that was slowly sliding down, didn't it seem as if it took a minute or so for the door to close the final foot? And when the good guys are escaping locations that are rigged to explode, doesn't it seem as if the final 30 seconds last for two or three minutes? And rarely does debris and flames from the explosion hit the good guys that are escaping.
(7)WHILE THE ALIENS USE RAY WEAPONS, HUMANS HAVE ONLY CONVENTIONAL WEAPONS AVAILABLE TO FIRE BACK AT THEM
One of the first movies I ever saw in which the humans had weapons that were comparable to the alliens was, I believe, "Earth Versus the Flying Saucers." It was a Ray Harryhousen film in which a crashed alien craft had the technology humans needed to allow them to build a weapon that disruipted the field engines of flying saucers and caused them to crash. A generation later, "Independence Day" featured Air Force planes destroying alien crafts which was rather ridiculous. Give me one of my power rays with energy projectiles any day over machine guns and missiles.
(8)MONSTERS ARE OFTEN NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE TO KILL EXCEPT DURING THE LAST 15 MINUTES OF A MOVIE
You've got a 100 foot snake headed your way? Why not aim your shotgun at the eyes or open mouth and fire away? You've got zombies after you? A nice razor sharp sword should hack off enough heads to dispatch as many as possible. The same goes for vampires and other fleshly creatures.
(9)MUMMIES THAT OFTEN DRAG A FOOD BEHIND THEM CAN CATCH UP WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE RUNNING AWAY FROM THEM
How often have you seen people not manage to escape from mummies even though they are running and the mummies are limping along behind them? And for once I'd like to see mummies hacked apart or incinerated by the good guys.
(10)THE NAME IS BOND......JAMES BOND
In the real world he would be dead......really dead.
It's too easy for writers to rely on unreality and stretches of logic to extend the lives of both good guys and bad guys. James Bond should have been killed during the first film and this world should be nothing more than space debris if the movies were based on reality and logic. But then who would want to see a movie in which the good guy is killed before the credits are over in the beginning or the bad guy is too deadly to be taken on? Audiences want to escape reality and the "lies on celuloid" are a great way to do that.
