McCain ad makes fun of Obama’s appearance
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDTJDv4hevU
Check out this ad from McCain’s website and tell me if Obama was justified in saying that they are going after the way he looks. Of course he was. The ad even puts his face on our currency. Obama was just stating the obvious.
The New American Empire
Congress no longer chooses to read new legislation before voting it into law. Bills are switched at the last minute for unread, substitute legislation. New laws say ANYONE can now be followed and watched – for ANY reason… or for NO reason. …. and the list goes on…

Fox News declares that the war in Iraq was worth it because Baghdad has a KFC now. Never mind that its a counterfeit KFC.
By jelliott – August 4, 2008, 5:12PM
Last Thursday, Fox News ran a brief segment on a KFC restaurant opening in Fallujah before segueing into an interview with former CENTCOM Commander Tommy Franks, who was asked to comment on the presence of an American fast food restaurant in the notoriously violent Iraqi city. “Do they have a drive-thru window?” Steve Doocy asks. “They get in and get out. And, so far, they do it safely,” answers Brian Kilmeade:

Now, call us cynical, but something about that segment seemed off — oddly upbeat even. On Friday I put in a call to KFC headquarters

We can’t have rape victims blabbing now, can we? It might make us look bad!
This weekend, defense contracting giant KBR announced it would ban the use of personal cell phones by its employees in Iraq, citing no specific reason. Though KBR has not indicated the ban is related to the numerous allegations of rape of female KBR employees by their male coworkers, the ban could endanger future victims. Jamie Leigh Jones, the first victim to come forward publicly, explained that after she was gang-raped by coworkers and held in a shipping container for days, (more…)
IN VIRGINIA, as in other states, loads of first-time voters are registering to cast ballots in the fall elections. Through the first six months of this year, 147,000 people, almost half under the age of 25, registered in the commonwealth, a figure that election officials say is unprecedented. As registration drives accelerate, including those run by the Barack Obama campaign and its allies, it’s no wonder that Republicans are increasingly anxious about retaining their hold on a state that GOP presidential candidates have carried since 1968. What is surprising is their utterly baseless charge of “coordinated and widespread voter fraud . . . throughout Virginia.”

Hilton ‘enters’ election race with spoof ad
LOS ANGELES (AFP) – Paris Hilton has thrown her hat into the US presidential race, declaring her desire to campaign against “that wrinkly white-haired guy” and threatening to paint the White House pink if elected.
The blond socialite responded to Republican candidate John McCain’s controversial use of her image in a campaign television spot last week with a satirical ad of her own posted on the website Funnyordie.com on Tuesday.
(see video @ http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/64ad536a6d)
In the ad, the 27-year-old appears reclining on a sun lounger beside a swimming pool, dressed only in a skimpy leopard-print bathing costume.
“Hey America, I’m Paris Hilton and I’m a celebrity too,” Hilton declares breezily. “Only I’m not from the olden days and I’m not promising change like that other guy. I’m just hot.
“But then that wrinkly white-haired guy used me in his campaign ad, which I guess means I’m running for president. So thanks for the endorsement white-haired dude, and I want America to know I’m, like, totally ready to lead.”
Getyer greasy, over buttered popcorn, pricey peanuts and candy! Sit down in our comfy theater for our documentary. Here at Ye Olde Scribe Productions we have the inside scoop, from one of our Hollywood spy flies on the wall. Bruce Willis, after having just released yet another Die Hard flick, has been hired to do a remake of John; “don’t tickle me with that feather, Uncle Ho, I’ll tell you anything you want to know,” McCain. The yet to be released sequel in the “Die, Why Won’t You Die,” John McClane series will be released just before November to help skew the election. But for now, get cozy, and watch….
John McCain as John McCain-McClane in…
The Making of Die BORED!!!!!!!!!!!
Camera slowly, in the most droll manner possible, zooms in on Bruce Willis and McCain, after being distracted by a flower (”Oh, look, a daisy!… ‘Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, please…”), a bee and a dog turd.
Willis: “OK, John, before you begin this scene, let me hear you say it: the only phrase you HAVE TO know…”
McCain: “zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…”
Willis: “John, wake the hell up!”
Paris Hilton’s mom takes offense at McCain’s humor
WASHINGTON – Paris Hilton’s mother doesn’t share John McCain’s sense of humor.
McCain, the Republican presidential candidate, said last week that his campaign ad mocking Democrat Barack Obama with images of Hilton and singer Britney Spears was part of an attempt to inject humor into the presidential race.
On Sunday, Hilton’s mother, Kathy Hilton, a McCain donor, registered her disapproval.
“It is a complete waste of the country’s time and attention at the very moment when millions of people are losing their homes and their jobs,” Kathy Hilton said
Book says White House ordered forgery
Mike Allen Tue Aug 5, 12:23 AM ET
A new book by the author Ron Suskind claims that the White House ordered the CIA to forge a back-dated, handwritten letter from the head of Iraqi intelligence to Saddam Hussein.
Suskind writes in “The Way of the World,” to be published Tuesday, that the alleged forgery – adamantly denied by the White House – was designed to portray a false link between Hussein’s regime and al Qaeda as a justification for the Iraq war.
The author also claims that the Bush administration had information from a top Iraqi intelligence official “that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq – intelligence they received in plenty of time to stop an invasion.”
VP Reprise with McCain? Quayle Says He’s ‘Rested and Ready’

INDIANAPOLIS – At a press conference here today, former vice president Dan Quayle told reporters he’s “rested and ready” and prepared to “help Sen. McCain win the White House” in 2008.
The Indiana Republican, a former US senator and vice president in the administration of George H. W. Bush from 1988 to 1992, claimed that he had the “kind of wide-body life experiences” Mr. McCain needs in a vice president and would “be assetable” to the Republican candidate’s chances.
“I believe that I have been road-tested and trialed and I have found myself willing,” said Mr. Quayle, “and I could do for Sen. McCain what I did for President Bush’s father – put him over the top with the Republican Party baseline.”
“I’ve been there and done that,” continued the former vice president, “and I can do it all over again. I’m rested and ready and set to rip into this campaign like a tissue paper tiger.”
“Look at it this way,” Mr. Quayle summed up, “if we can deposit men on Mars, as we have been doing, we can get a Republican elected president this year, and I’m just the astronaut to help Sen. McCain win the White House.”
As he left the podium, Mr. Quayle mimicked dialing a phone and whispered, “Johnny, call me.”
Reached last night, McCain campaign manager Rick Davis had no comment on the former vice president’s offer.

What McCain Isn’t Telling You About Offshore Oil Drilling
And neither is our corporately-run Big Media whose owners, no doubt, have some Big Oil stock in their portfolios.
Aside from the fact that, without federal regulation of the kind that’s anathema to neocon Republicans, there is no way to guarantee that any offshore drilling will produce lower prices at the pump, here’s the rundown on another angle of this GOP scam to reward Big Oil and then possibly deny even that trickle of offshore oil — available in ten to twenty years — to Americans, courtesy of Cenk Uygur at Huffington Post:
