Obama's Acceptance Speech

Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Reeds driftin' on by you know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea you know how I feel
River running free you know how I feel
Blossom in the tree you know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
That's what I mean

And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me

Stars when you shine you know how I feel
Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Election Night 2008!!

I just got back from a phone bank that I've been volunteering at. I'm totally exhausted and exillerated at the same time. Let's elect Obama tonight! This is history in the making! Yay!!!

Are you skard?

Are you good 'n skard? Yeah, me too. Tomorrow is the big day. Get out and vote. Be counted. Let's make this thing happen. America has the unique opportunity to do something great here. Don't be skard! Vote!

Charles Meets Barack

New Obama Ad

Okay, now, this is just too much!

Allegedly, a College Republican and McCain campaign volunteer named Ashley Todd made a wild claim about being robbed and assaulted at an ATM by a crazed black Obama supporter. [from LTR]

This, of course, was complete bullshit. Miss Todd was arrested and may face jail time for committing a false police report.

When you have lost your mind doing something like this makes sense. McCain supporters have been losing it. This is a true sign that they know what time it is.

Opie Cunningham says to Vote for Obama

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'm not sure that I would have believed this ...

The Stupid Vote

Some may find this insulting. Sorry. But the truth is, if you cannot figure out who to vote for by now you are stupid. If you can't figure out what the differences are between the two candidates by now — 12 days before the election — after 20 months of campaigning — you are stupid. Do us all a favor and stay home on election day. In 2000, this country had the CHOICE between Al Gore and George W. Bush. Let me say this again. WE had the CHOICE BETWEEN AL GORE AND GEORGE W. BUSH. And many chose GEORGE W. BUSH??? Dear God! Now that was stupid! Really, really STUPID!

So let's go over this again, if you are still confused right now about who to vote for, please, on election day: get a beer, watch tv — no, actually, don't watch tv (it might give you ideas and we don't want that!), sit in a corner somewhere, don't touch anything, and for God's sake — don't vote.

When You Vote, Will Your Vote Be Counted?

The campaigns are basically over and Obama has won. The issue at hand now is the election. How will the votes be counted? Will your vote count? Mark Crispin Miller appeared on Bill Moyers Journal to speak about the security of the vote.

See the video —

... when you vote, will your vote be counted? Since the fiasco in Florida in 2000 and the questions about Ohio in 2004, fears abound about the security of our election system.

Just this week, Common Cause and two other public interest groups issued a 50-state report card titled, "Is America Ready to Vote?" It says that vast improvements have been made in voting technologies and procedures but warns that many states still are not ready.

The Republican Party, as it stands today, is very honest in this way, they tell you exactly who they are by what they accuse the other of being.

Colin Powell endorses Obama ... Big Woop

Great that he endorsed Obama. Good for him. I still can't stand Powell. What a disappointment he has been. Actually a disaster. I knew I was going to have major problems with him as Secretary of State when he left the conference on racism in 2001 (I personally think was the last straw that led to 9/11, but I digress). Then for Powell to perpetrate a fraud on the UN and the American people -- the world -- with his presentation that helped to lead us into this terrible war ... well, God may forgive him, but I never will. As a fellow Jamerican (that is Jamaican-American) I am very ashamed of him. His kids are rotten, too. Michael Powell, that means you.

So, yay, he endorsed Obama -- at the last possible minute. What, he smelled which way the wind's blowing and he's looking for a job? Don't give it to him, Obama. He ain't worth it.

John McCain's Anger Problem

Ugly Ugly Politics

From Gawker by Ian Spiegelman:
"McCain/Palin Boosters Continue to Astound, Terrify" —

A roadside billboard sprung up in West Plains, Missouri, recently, featuring a caricature of Barack Obama wearing a turban along with the message "Barack 'Hussein' Obama equals more abortions, same sex marriages, taxes, gun regulations." While some members of that community are shocked and disgusted—the Obama campaign dismissed it as "a distraction"—other locals are of the opinion that if you don't like that sign you can drop dead.

What kind of people are these? They seem like Nazis to me.

It's their smiles that gives me the creeps ...

The Keating Five and John McCain

Watch the the video on the www.keatingeconomics.com.

Without John McCain the Keating Five would have been the Keating Four. This guy is dirty. The financial crisis that we are experiencing is a return to the past. A past that John McCain has been a part of before. And, yes, it pisses me off that my country is in the crap hole because of people like this. And, yes, I am angry that I personally have suffered serious financial set backs because these dirty no good pieces of [word I don't want to say] have been playing games with our lives, our money, and our good name.

Man Shot for Wearing Obama T-Shirt

From Mail Online "Man Shot for Wearing Obama T-Shirt" —

Police are searching for man who shot a Barack Obama supporter three times in broad daylight for wearing an Obama T-shirt.

At least this happened in the UK, but still .... Damn.
