I don't pray and I seldom wish for anything but if I die before The Shrub is out of office, or if McCain is elected (even though I will win $200) I am going to be pissed throughout eternity.

More Americans now dead in Iraq & Afghanistan than killed on 9-11. Plus 655,000 Iraqis dead.

Roddick Blows It
In the 4th set against nobody's favorite Novak Djokovic, with the momentum in his favor, Andy served double-faults and thus didn't get to a 5th set. This after coming back from 2 sets down. And he was playing so well.
Federer will take care of Novak.
Charlie Rangel Busted
The Chairman of the HOuse Ways & Means committee, which writes the U.S. tax code, "didn't know". "the congressman did not realize he had to declare the money as income, and was unaware of the semiannual payments from the resort because his wife, Alma, handled the family finances and conferred with their accountant, John Viardi, on tax matters."

Black Republican delegates know who they are. They must be very lonely. And maybe a few even wonder why they are there.
I wonder how many will finally switch to Barack.

Quote Of The Day
"Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because Janet Reno is her father".
-John McCain, 1998
Palin?
The MSM is now doing the hurry-up vetting that McCain failed to do. He's had since March to vet his choices. Now it is the MSMs turn. Hang on Sarah, if there is so much meat in a few days... Go HERE.
Lieberman @ RNC
Go HERE for his Patriarch.
Google
First it was a noun, then it became a verb, now it has become an "age". I've now seen more than many references to the Internet Age and now a few are appearing as the Google Age.
Does that mean it will soon be extinct? What ever happened to the World Wide Web & the Information SuperHighway? I still don't understand what "Cloud Computing" is but I hear gigs of refs to it.

Is It Just Me?
I can't stand this stage of the campaign; the Republican stage. Plus it has gone on way, way too long. We all know who we will vote for and if we don't by now we are just stupid. But then Americans have too often been stupid.
McCain has been running and in the news for 8 years. Hillary was inevitable and she blew it to a better man. The story is over. Let's vote and get on with our lives.
Then McCain picks Palin and that stirs the pot for MSM. New slant! Whoa! Will she, won't she pull the rabbit from the feminists' vagina?
I'm thinking, No! She just might be the new Eagleton and sink the Naval POW hero's little life raft.
Ah' cain't take no mo'. Gimme an effin' break. Nome sain?
How is it that the British or any other parlamentary government can declare new elections and install a new government within a matter of weeks? America has a specific timetable. Go figger.
RNC v. U.S. Open
Caught the last half of Federer's match and Roddick's victory while switching back and forth during commercials. I have to say it was a good reminder of how disgusting Republicans are. Wasn't able to stomach watching Lieberman's endorsement of McSame. He better hope McCain wins cuz he has no future with the Dems. Meanwhile Roddick looks as good as he ever has. Good luck but I'm still rooting for Federer.

Lieberman Slashes His Wrists Tonight

What Are The Odds?
I'm thinking Palin will be asked to withdraw. But I rather hope she won't because she is so transparently under-qualified it works to Obama's benefit. Even the MSM is working the angle.

McCain's Appeal
I lay awake last night, for some reason unable to sleep until 7am this morning, so I was forced to think of things over and over. One thing I was able to figure out was why people like McCain. There are three main reasons.
1. He's not too smart which puts millions at ease because they are not too bright either. If they were they would not consistantly vote against their own interests. They spout MSM talking points as if they are facts. This also explains why they felt as if they could enjoy a beer with Bush but not Kerry. Bush & McCain like to think they are funny and so do most people. Kerry was way too serious and didn't seem to have a sense of humor. Not that there was or is really anything to laugh about these days.
2. McCain has painted himself as a maverick and the MSM has bought into it. Most people like to think they too are mavericks. In fact McCain can not remember where he stands on most issues and thus contradicts himself every other day depending on who he is speaking to. He has no grounding principles; he says he is a Christian but I've yet to see him in a photo op coming out of church. He says he is a fiscal conservative yet is not concerned that his Republicans are the party of over-whelming deficit spending. He believes in trickle-down Reaganomics but doesn't need to worry or wait for his bit to trickle-down; he has got his. His and a few hundred other peoples.
3. Obama on the other hand, we all know, is smarter than most of us which threatens some people. He also seems to have a sense of humor and enjoys what he is doing, loves his family and seems sincere in his faith. How many of us, religious or atheists can say as much?
I will be happy happy when November 4th rolls around and I can stop thinking about people like McBush & Cheney, McCain & Sarah Barracuda. Either happy or dead by my own hand because I truly cannot take anymore of McSame.

Gustav & Big Guns
What's with all the automatic weapons in NOLA? Every picture you see has camo and machine guns. What or who are they going to fire them at? How about some rubber rafts and dike building and working on the levees?
Quote Of The Day
Jake Tapper: Governor Palin and her husband issued a statement today saying that their 17 year old daughter Bristol who is unmarried is 5 months pregnant. Do you have a comment?

Barack Obama: I have heard some of the news on this and so let me be as clear as possible. I have said before and I will repeat again, I think people's families are off limits, and people's children are especially off limits. This shouldn't be part of our politics, it has no relevance to governor Palin's performance as a governor or her potential performance as a vice president. And so I would strongly urge people to back off these kinds of stories. You know my mother had me when she was 18. And how family deals with issues and teenage children that shouldn't be the topic of our politics and I hope that anybody who is supporting me understands that is off limits.

MacDries says, "Go ahead, take the high road Barack. I won't. I'm not as kewl as you."
It Just Keeps Getting Better
Now Palin's underage, unmarried daughter is pregnant. And Palin does have some shotguns. We don't know how old the father is but it's possible that statutory rape could come into play according to Alaska law. Go HERE.
Palin however says she would not support abortion even in the case of rape. Even if her daughter were raped. It's just an American family story. Life happens is the line of the day.

Labor Day?
I know many people think this is a holiday even if they do not support Unions. I've never paid it any mind. It's just anohter day to an artist. But Kate The Great and my Sparkler return today so it's a good day. Poor Emma has to go back to the books tomorrow and Kate has a couple more weeks of work.
My first ex-wife, Linda Dauw Hatz, scanned some old slides and put them on a DVD for me. Here's is YT (looking a bit like David Bromberg) from back in the day.
