My friends,

I am once again very disappointed that Senator Obama, while speaking in Berlin today, again failed to acknowledge that it was My Surge plan which made the Berlin Air Lift of 1948 possible.

Did I mention that my Surge also removes warts, and bird shit from car paint?

Sincerly,

Senator Janus McCain

All the Bush/McCain Iraq Follies has accomplished is what Yeats spoke of:

THE GREAT DAY

HURRAH for revolution and more cannon-shot!
A beggar upon horseback lashes a beggar on foot.
Hurrah for revolution and cannon come again!
The beggars have changed places, but the lash goes on.

Well Duh!. Are you now telling us that you were backing that other candidate because she did not mean to get nominated?

Bully Boy's love note to Gotalife. Here is what he wrote. Notice how he now denies it. Bully Boy is a lying weasel.

Welcome back. Their anxiety level has gone off the charts in the time you've been gone. They began to go a little crazy as soon as they realized they had actually nominated him. Since then, it has gotten worse every day. A lot of whining and misdirected anger because they're stuck with someone who is running dead even with a cadaver tied to the most impeachable administration in the history of the US. They're getting Chuck Hagel to take him to Iraq and Afghanistan so he can say he's been there. He made the cover of the New Yorker and created the greatest outcry since Salmon Rushdie and the dutch cartoons of another historic religious figure. Where the hell have you been?

There is the clear proof that Bully Boy, the self proclaimed culture guru, dropped his panties for that cretin. Notice that lovelorn wail: "Where the hell have you been?". Bully Boy's heart ached for Gotalife to return.

McCain has taken the Governor of Louisiana off his VP candidate list. Bobby Jindal says that he thinks that the reason why McCain dropped him from consideration is because Satan made him do it.

Easy video is why. It costs almost nothing to cover. It is just the national example of the local stations priorities: If it bleeds it leads. You will see the same thing if a baby falls down a well. They will cover it around the clock for a week, but a million children can be starving to death in the midst of a famine, at the same time, and the one down the well gets all the coverage.

TV News is an oxymoron. Not matter how important a story is, if TV does not have video, then they rarely will mention it.

Watch the old movie: Broadcast News. It was true for it's time, and the business has become much more anchor centric, and less information driven since that movie was made.
