Too bad it didn't have anything to do with country music.
It sucked.

Grow Up Obama & Quit Whinning
In an attempt to avoid why he didn't give relevant answers Obama states the questions were irrelevant and not up to snuff. At least his snuff.
Obama, Post-Debate, Decries "Gotcha Games"
For Obama, the debate provided a fresh illustration of one of his underlying campaign themes, that Washington had lost touch with the rest of the country. "Washington hasn't gotten the news yet that people want something different," the candidate told the Raleigh crowd. "Last night we set a new record. It took us 45 minutes ... before we heard about health care. Forty-five minutes before we heard about Iraq. Forty-five minutes before we heard about jobs. That's how Washington is," Obama said.
It's a town of "gotcha games," "anything goes," and "slash-and-burn politics," and Obama added, "Sen. Clinton looked in her element" on the ABC stage last night, as Obama grappled with questions about why he doesn't wear a flag pin his on his lapel, the Wright scandal redux, and Obama's relationship with Ayers, a prominent Chicago resident who had been a member of the radical '60s terrorist group the Weathermen.
Barack seems to be saying that if you don't like the message, kill the messenger.
On the debate
Stephanopoulos strongly defended his handling of the debate. He dismissed criticism that it had focused too heavily on "gotcha" questions, arguing that they had gone to the heart of the "electability" that, he said, is forefront in the minds of voters evaluating the two Dems.
...
Asked why the moderators had chosen to spend time on Wright, when Obama has repeatedly responded to questions about him, Stephanopoulos defended it by saying that Wright's most incendiary comments had come to light, and Obama's speech in response, had both come after the previous debate.
Obama wants to be haloed as a "new" type of president and gets petulant when people and reporters don't know when to curtsy and bow. No doubt he'll demand ring kissing if he gets thecoronation nomination.
Hey, Barack baby, politics is and has always been a contact sport. Grow up and stop acting like a ten year old who demands, as his right, ice cream for breakfast. It's childish and demeaning.

Global Warming's Disciples & Their Lies, Desperation & Degradation
Iwo Jima Veterans Blast Time's 'Special Environmental Issue' CoverStengel also appeared on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on April 17 and had no difficulty admitting the magazine needed to have a “point of view.”
“I think since I’ve been back at the magazine, I have felt that one of the things that’s needed in journalism is that you have to have a point of view about things,” Stengel said. “You can’t always just say ‘on the one hand, on the other’ and you decide. People trust us to make decisions. We’re experts in what we do. So I thought, you know what, if we really feel strongly about something let's just say so.”
Time has been banging the global warming drum for some time now. In April 2007, Time offered 51 ways to “save the planet,” which included more taxes and regulation.
...
"People trust us to make decisions. We’re experts in what we do." Huh? Can I have some of what you're smoking? Your trust and approval ratings are somewhat below meter maids and your "expertise" has been dragged through your own mud puddles of lies, distortions and ineptitude.
...
Now you stoop to disrespecting (some reporters may only understand the term dissing) the soldiers who gave their lives for freedom to prop up your lies about global warming?
...
Congratulations, you've lowered the bar so low that even Al Gore can slither over it.
As Usual Shales & Liberal Media Don't Get It
ABC Debate Failed To Be Shill For Obama
Tom Shales is as reliable as my dogs. I know they'll bark if someone knocks on our door and I know if liberalism is not regaled as the law of reason that Shales will bay at the moon as if the moon gives a damn what Shales thinks. In both cases they think they are sounding a warning of some import. In one, the mailman is delivering the mail as he does with regularity and in the other Shales is delivering his message as usual, but without the hope of an interesting bit of news.
Why is it that liberals do not find it interesting that a presidential candidate has such a tin ear as to not have heard a racist message filled with hate for all things not colored and an antipathy for the nation that the candidate hopes to lead? How is that a Shales doesn't notice that a presidential candidate is lying when he said he didn't hear anything as he sat in a pew over twenty years nor understood that friendship with a domestic terrorist involved in murder is not a resume building occurrence?
I resent it when people look down their adopted urban nose at my beautiful little "provincial" village. I have a real problem with a pseudo preacher telling God to damn America. Alas, I may be provincial because when someone becomes an enemy of those I love they become an enemy of mine. Besides, assumed arrogance is such an ugly thing and should be reserved to those of an improperly formed mind, just as it has always been.
Arrogance, mixed with ingenuity, is a Shales message delivered with the regularity of a country postman being barked at by dogs.
In Pa. Debate, The Clear Loser Is ABC
The boyish Stephanopoulos, who has done wonders with the network's Sunday morning hour, "This Week" (as, indeed, has Gibson with the nightly "World News"), looked like an overly ambitious intern helping out at a subcommittee hearing, digging through notes for something smart-alecky and slimy. He came up with such tired tripe as a charge that Obama once associated with a nutty bomb-throwing anarchist. That was "40 years ago, when I was 8 years old," Obama said with exasperation.
Obama was right on the money when he complained about the campaign being bogged down in media-driven inanities and obsessiveness over any misstatement a candidate might make along the way, whether in a speech or while being eavesdropped upon by the opposition. The tactic has been to "take one statement and beat it to death," he said.
No sooner was that said than Gibson brought up, yet again, the controversial ravings of the pastor at a church attended by Obama. "Charlie, I've discussed this," he said, and indeed he has, ad infinitum. If he tried to avoid repeating himself when clarifying his position, the networks would accuse him of changing his story, or changing his tune, or some other baloney.
This is precisely what has happened with widely reported comments that Obama made about working-class people "clinging" to religion and guns during these times of cynicism about their federal government.
"It's not the first time I made a misstatement that was mangled up, and it won't be the last," said Obama, with refreshing candor. But candor is dangerous in a national campaign, what with network newsniks waiting for mistakes or foul-ups like dogs panting for treats after performing a trick. The networks' trick is covering an election with as little emphasis on issues as possible, then blaming everyone else for failing to focus on "the issues."
Maybe if Shales delivered a coupon for dog food mingled in with his message it would be of interest to those of "us" interested in the character of our candidates, but as a self annointed speaker of "them" Shales probably hates dogs too.

Berlusconi Win Of Little News To Liberal Press
Yesterday I wrote about Berlusconi winning in Italy and the politics of everybody has a party and a candidate. Ben Keeler has a good post about the media and their handling of two stories about the same man and the same office.
It was all over the news when pro-Bush ally Silvio Berlusconi of Italy resigned in 2006 - it was widely seen as a rebuke to Bush himself.Not a whole lot of news on his victory today and that his party is reclaiming power. Surprising.
Ben added this bit from the AP which seems to be a PR wing for Obama sometimes which makes this a little surprising.
AP: Berlusconi's party and its allies won strong victories in both houses of parliament despite a strong final sprint by his main rival, Walter Veltroni, who ran a campaign that could have come out of Barack Obama's playbook, with calls to "Vote for change" and supporters armed with "We can!" banners.
Maybe they can't.

America Needs More Options-More Parties?
There is some good news in this as Berlusconi is the best candidate, but the politics of Italy is what caught me eye. Maybe Jesse Ventura and all his buddies that bitch about John McCain can find some satisfaction in this.
Berlusconi 'wins' Italy election
...
Some 158 different parties contested the regional and national polls, including Mr Berlusconi's new conservative People of Freedom (PDL) and Mr Veltroni's recently formed Democratic Party (PD).
...
The new government will be Italy's 62nd since World War II.
Yeah, just what we need. 62 different governments over a short time made up of center-left, communists and at least 3 more Jimmy Carters.

Lincoln Assassination
Today is the anniversary of the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln.
May this scourge never visit America again.
Among the stories, both true and untrue, that I have heard was one that goes directly to the sensitivity of the press in the Dan Rather sense that the story is not true, but speaks to the truth.
As the story goes, as Mrs Lincoln left Ford Theater a reporter started to ask a question when a guard heatedly announced that her husband had just been shot. The reporter, always on the beat, immediately asked, "Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"

Where In The World Is Dick Celeste?
Once the Punjab plenipotentiary and before that Celeste was the esteemed governor of the state of Ohio. Just as India is defined by rivers so is Ohio. Coincidence? Dunno. Don't care.
Another coincidence is that after Celeste left each position things improved.
Now Dick Celeste is president of the Colorado Springs' Colorado College where humor is dangerous unless vetted by liberals, i.e., professional educators who warn us not to try education at home because their work is done on a closed course by trained professionals.
Joking students called on the carpet
The pair at Colorado College are rebuked over a feminist-newsletter parody seen as threatening.
OH MY GOD, NOT PARODY! Parody scares feminists. Being scared makes feminists angry. When said parody is mixed with chainsaws and guns, well that is just downright threatening. Scary. Angry. Time for Dick.
Dick knows about feminists. Think Dagmar. Dagmar hates Dick. Dagmar was so angry she went and made herself a Catholic bishop. As she broke water, Dagmar thanked mother God and Harvey Milk.
This explains why Dick runs when confronted by feminists.

Communist China Faked Tibetan Torch Attacks
Everybody is crying that the Olympics aren't political and politics should be left out of them. I say, meet and confront tyrants, liars and despots wherever they choose to rear their cowardly heads, especially when they lie to garner sympathy for their murderous ways.This one picture came to symbolize the heartless violence of the Tibetan protesters, thus justifying, in many people's minds, the paramilitary troops that China sent to harass, beat, and brutalize the protesters in other countries -- from France and London to the United States to South America:
Big Lizards has shown that the communist leadership of China has staged this and other photographs and events to make the Tibetans look bad.
China clearly thought this was a win-win for them as the world media flocked to the Olympics showing the world what a great group of guys the communists are. They are not a great group of guys. They are murderous thugs living out Stalin's wet dreams of sadism and world conquest.
If they want to use the Olympics as a front to falsely portray themselves as good people, I say use the Olympics to show that they are common criminals which is the real definition of communism.

Jeremiah Wright Was A Muslim & A Black Nationalist?
I mean, Jeremiah Wright was a Muslim and a black nationalist before he was a Biblical scholar who found that Jesus was actually a black African who was "sick of this sh*t!" This kind of trip is Jules Verne meets Jack Kerouac where Miss Daisy is told to shut up and drive. Or else.
Barack Obama's unlikely political education.
But Wright was a former Muslim and black nationalist who had studied at Howard and Chicago, and Trinity's guiding principles--what the church calls the "Black Value System"--included a "Disavowal of the Pursuit of Middleclassness.'"
The crosscurrents appealed to Obama. He came to believe that the church could not only compensate for the limitations of Alinsky-style organizing but could help answer the nagging identity problem he had come to Chicago to solve. "It was a powerful program, this cultural community," he wrote, "one more pliant than simple nationalism, more sustaining than my own brand of organizing."
As a result, over the years, Wright became not only Obama's pastor, but his mentor. The title of Obama's recent book, The Audacity of Hope, is based on a sermon by Wright. (It's worth noting, however, that, while Obama's book is a coolheaded appeal for common ground in an age of political polarization, Wright's sermon, "The Audacity to Hope," is a fiery jeremiad about persevering in a world of nuclear arms and racial inequality.) Wright is one of the first people Obama thanked after his Senate victory in 2004, and he recently name-checked Wright in his speech to civil rights leaders in Selma, Alabama.
The church also helped Obama develop politically.
But Obama was a Christian after he was not a Muslim. Was Wright a Christian before he was a Black Nationalist Muslim before he was a Biblical scholar who welcomed Hawaiian Harvard Obama into his new church to become an authentic African-American from the southside of Chicago, ie become part of a family he never had.
I don't know about Wright and Obama, but I got whiplash just trying to keep up with this sell.

Jesse Ventura Is 'None Of The Above'
Jesse Ventura wants the presidential election to be more like a grocery store so people have more choices than just Coke or Pepsi because he is a fiscal conservative, but a social liberal. Well, isn't he special.
To add to his soft drink presidential choices Jesse thinks we should also have a "none of the above" flavor. His nattering on every possible venue shouldn't be considered as publicity for his book. His nattering should be considered moronic. Is it well intentioned? Don't care.
Maverick wants none of the above for president
"I oppose the two-party system. All it is is more of the two-party dictatorship," he said. "What I wish we had on the ballot for all our elections is 'none of the above' so you could show you have no confidence in the government.
"It would be amazing just how often 'none of the above' would win ... the only difference I see is that if a Democrat wins (in November) our taxes will go up. That's not saying they spend any more or less than the Republicans but the Republicans put it on a credit card, or the national debt."
An electorate that relies, for the most part, on the main stream media to glean knowledge about two opposing candidates for president will be better off if they have more as well as an out if they don't know or care to make a decision? That's like giving a teenager the choice between cars in the garage and liquor in the cabinet for their drive to the prom. Aren't we in bad enough shape by letting the bureaucrats the run of the auto dealership and the liquor store while controlling the judicial process, using our money the whole time?
You want multiple choice, take a class or move to Italy since that's working oh so well for them. If we are to have weirdo candidates for weirdo voters to vote for and a none of the above choice for those too stupid or too lazy to make a choice, we're in trouble. Wait, we are in trouble, we may have Barr and Paul for starters.
Maybe we can add Daffy Duck and a Teletubby candidate for those that think we need more diversity in government just to round out the Jesse Ventura weirdo slate. Then we can add a Nazi candidate, a Communist, a Green and an Ayrian Nation candidate as well. Come on, this is fun. How about a Zuni Nationalist, a La Raza North American Unity Party candidate, a NAMBLA candidate to spread the love and a vegan Wiccan Nation Common Sense Party candidate for those that don't believe, but want to cover their bases type of voters. Don't forget the Goth Nation! If they win they can repaint the White House black, you know, for change. Real change.
Me, I'd like to continue what has made America strong, one man - one vote and a two party system. For those that can't make a decision or won't make a decision, they can exercise their "none of the above" by not voting for president. Otherwise they can stop screwing with our elections to sell books, get on television or to puff up their own self worth.
Work, support your family, understand the ramifications of your vote and be nice to people. If you want to get involved in party politics to make a change, that is great. If not, stop your bitching and your spewing of foolish ideas.
UPDATE: Add another party!

I Love Old Motels
Their architecture is fun. Not always good, but fun. Route 66 is the road of fame and movies, but the National Road, Route 40, has some really great things built that I remember from my childhood. In Appalachia there was the "Snake Pit" with giant snakes pictured on their signs for miles and miles and the snakes were about 10" in reality.
Near there is the Route 40 Motel. So incredibly ugly/fun architecture that I remember from childhood.
Here in Ohio Route 40 is very cool. As a child and until now with my wife and 
children I have loved going to the Ding Ho Chinese Restaurant on West Broad Street in Columbus, Ohio (Hint: Chicken with vegetables, Won Ton Soup and and egg roll). The family that still owns it are really good and fine people.

The Philogynist Presidential Candidate Has Experience
Elton John: 'To hell with them'
Geez, lov'em or hat'em, they can't live without them.
Inside, Bill Clinton introduced his wife, thanked the packed house for contributions to keep the race going, and asked for more, to shouts of "We miss you, Bill."
"If you know anybody who didn’t come here tonight who could send some money over the Internet …," he said."What I want you to know is, I’m still standing," Hillary told the crowd. I believe that this country is worth fighting for, so we’re talking our campaign to Pennsylvania and to all the states that haven’t voted."
Elton John was a bit edgier:"I never cease to be amazed at the misogynist attitude of some of the people in this country," he said. "I say to hell with them."
Geez, lov'em or hat'em, they can't live without them.
NAACP Wrong To Have Wright
via Gateway Pundit (again!).NAACP in Detroit to host Obama's embattled ex-minister
Rev. Jeremiah Wright to speak at Freedom Fund dinner
Over the years, speakers of the Freedom Fund dinner have included Obama, NAACP Chairman Julian Bond, presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton. The Fight for Freedom Fund Dinner began in 1956. The event’s first speaker was civil rights lawyer and future U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall.
They may be always wrong, but they are always predictable.
Eugene Debs To Host Air America?
via Ace
Personally I am aghast that I must wait for the announcement, but then I am also aghast that the ever lovely and vivacious Randi is gone.
Last week Air America suspended Randi Rhodes for abusive, obscene language at a recent public appearance in San Francisco which was sponsored by an Air America affiliate station.
Air America Media was informed last night by Ms. Rhodes that she has chosen to terminate her employment with the company. We wish her well and thank her for past services to Air America.
We will soon announce exciting new talent and programming that will accelerate Air America’s growth in the future.
Maybe it's not Eugene. Al Franken appears busy these days as well. Bill Maher is bearing his own cross of humor in real time to a Palestinian beat.
You know, maybe they have Lord Haw-Haw in the wings just waiting for the AA microphone. It'd be a step up for sure.

Air America Media was informed last night by Ms. Rhodes that she has chosen to terminate her employment with the company. We wish her well and thank her for past services to Air America.
We will soon announce exciting new talent and programming that will accelerate Air America’s growth in the future.
Maybe it's not Eugene. Al Franken appears busy these days as well. Bill Maher is bearing his own cross of humor in real time to a Palestinian beat.
You know, maybe they have Lord Haw-Haw in the wings just waiting for the AA microphone. It'd be a step up for sure.
