It’s simple. You do as Louis Caldera, Obama’s director of the White House Military Office, did. Read the rest of this entry »

Not really. But that’s Larry Summers, economic adviser to BHO, knocked out as the leader talks to credit card company executives this past Thursday. And you thought you kicked it hard then suffered the next day in school/at work.

When John McCain tried to subvert the Obama camp’s momentum by picking a female running mate, a few people huffed about the gimmickry involved in the decision. Obviously, choosing Palin was a fatal flaw in the long term.

The Republican Party apparently hasn’t learned from this mistake. In case you were like a good bit of the rest of the country and decided to ignore the Grand Ol’ Party, you missed the fact that they picked an African-American Chairman. Read the rest of this entry »

With the inauguration still lingering, it would be foolish of us post-whores not to take advantage of it. If you want to see the pic in full justice, click to enlarge to the full-sized version.

I’m not gonna preach to you about voting because I generally don’t feel like it’s my position. Honestly, I don’t feel comfortable preaching to you about things Read the rest of this entry »

The Great Bailout of ’08. Or a “rescue” as the Bush administration would call it.

However you want to phrase it, it passed the Senate by a wide 74-25 margin & is headed to the House.

Where were the House & Senate when I needed a bailout on that Visa I ran up towards the end of college? Read the rest of this entry »

If you haven’t already, you need to go ahead and cancel those Friday night plans.

Sit ya ass down and watch the debates.

One thing that you may want to pay attention to is the location. Don’t get it twisted — Barack is playing a road game. In case you didn’t know, Barack Obama and Seargant Slaughter are debating in Oxford, MS on Ole (as in “Grand Ole Party”) Miss campus. As your Mississippi ambassador, I will impart a few bits knowledge about the home in which our first presidential debate will be held. Now, don’t go off talking about how twisted things are in the South. This is just one pocket of the very diverse and three-dimensional state I love.

Disclaimer: Some of these tidbits will be mildly subjective

- I fucking hate Ole Miss and everything it stands for.

- Ole Miss’ mascot is the Rebel. As in the rebels who fought for the Confederacy. He wears and old Confederate army suit, ready to shoot down those slave-freeing bastards.

- As a senior in high school, I received an invitation to apply for a scholarship at Ole Miss. The Trent Lott Scholarship to be exact. I politely declined. Read the rest of this entry »

In what was possibly the most gorgeous display of a Republican inability to govern, Washington was a clusterf*ck of the highest order yesterday.

In short…

– Republicans refused to agree on a bailout plan supported by their own commander-in-chief and created by their own Treasury secretary.

– Dems waited for Reps to co-sign the plan — which the right wing refused to do — allowing GOP internal gangrenous rot to fester.

– In the emergency meeting between President Bush, Secretary Paulson and the two presidential candidates, Obama asked Read the rest of this entry »

John McCain has made a crucial mistake. He’s underestimated the political power of satirists in an election year. In what can only be considered a bitch move, McCain bailed on the David Letterman show claiming he was “rushing to Washington” to cure our economic woes when instead Read the rest of this entry »

David Letterman had Bill Clinton on the show last night where he droned on & on about Hillary, what she would’ve done for the economy, etc. etc. He also took the opportunity to reluctantly vouch for Obama. Thanks Bill.

Thankfully, Dave also had Chris Rock on the show as well & Chris held no punches, reminding Bill that, at the end of the day, Hillary lost. Read the rest of this entry »
