You have to give John McCain props, because we knew it was an impossible task from the outset — to find a running mate who could rival BRCK BM in youth and inexperience. We can’t blame McCain for only meeting the first part.
Meanwhile, since McCain’s poor sense of humor would indeed be carried over from the current White House, I’d wager five smurfs that McCain will go green and recycle Reagan’s joke during the debates: (more…)
No Republicans filed to run against Tennessee Senate Democratic leader Jim Kyle in District 28 this year. The Shelby County Election Commission recorded 80 write-in votes in the August primary election, but the Tennessee Dept. of State Elections Division seems to assume there was no winner. How many write-in votes does a candidate need in order to win? Or are they even really counted at all? Why isn’t the list of write-in candidates available online?
Ok, so that was more than one question.
So you were surprised by his choice — that John McCain selected an attractive woman to stand by his side? I’m beginning to question how much you really know about John McCain.
Eden and Freckles are getting ready to graduate from puppy school. When they’re locked in and focused on commands, nothing can distract them. Not even Carl Levin.
Democrat Presidential nominee BRCK BM is not telling the truth about American family incomes.
Here he was in Davenport, Iowa, on Monday:
“When Bill Clinton was President, in the ’90s, the average family income went up $6,000. Since George Bush has been in office, the average family income has gone down $1,000.”
He said the same thing a day earlier, on Aug 24: “Under George Bush, it has gone down $1,000. It is not just people’s imagination that they are feeling pinched. There is more money going out and less money coming in.”
On Tuesday, BRCK BM doubled the figure: “Since 2000, since George Bush took office, the average, typical family income has gone down $2,000. Typical family income has gone down $2,000. When Bill Clinton was president, the typical family income went up $6,200.”
That’s change you can believe in.
Er, maybe not so much.
According to the Census Bureau historical income tables, the median family income decreased only $272 between 2000 and 2007, not $1,000 or even $2,000.
And by “decreased only $272,” I actually mean increased by $272. In fact, the median family income has risen to the highest level in American history as of 2007 (the last recorded year), and I’m pretty sure George W. Bush was in office that year, not Bill Clinton.
And since Bush wasn’t actually in office in the year 2000, last time I checked, the median family income has actually risen $1,149 under his Presidency. Pretty remarkable, given that we also weathered a dot-com bust, a major terrorist attack, natural disasters and various other national and global financial disturbances in that span.
Why isn’t BRCK BM telling the truth?
Heckofa job, BRCK BM.
It won’t be long before BRCK BM selects his running mate. On the off-chance he hasn’t made a firm decision yet, here are some suggestions from outside the mainstream that would mesh well with his message of HOPE, CHANGE and YES WE CAN:
Mary Winkler – This passionate family woman is wildly popular with religious voters and would bring some diversity to the ticket, helping to shore up disaffected Hillary Clinton supporters. Selecting her would be like sneaking up behind John McCain and fatally shooting him in the back, then unplugging the phone and driving to Florida (a key swing state).
Cap’n Crunch – This charismatic chap has high name recognition and could appeal to liberal kool-aid drinkers while being white-bread enough not to alienate moderates. He would also provide the military experience and candy marshmallows the Democratic ticket so severely lacks.
He Kexin – Though she’s only 14 years old, this little fellow citizen of the world would symbolize and herald the Utopian communist government desired by the presumptive Democratic nominee. She has dedicated her life to clinging to the parallel bars, rather than guns or God or negative attitudes about people who don’t look like her. And she has more experience than he does.
Like Ainsley, I was a little ninja wannabe about 24 years ago.
I know it’s difficult to make out because of my stealth, but I’m actually standing in the middle of that photo. Hint: between the door and the bookcase.
It was kinda dangerous as a Halloween costume, actually, and not because of the deadly weapons I was carrying. But how many actual Ninjas wear bright clothes and reflectors when they go Trick-or-treating? Probably not very many.
