McCain stirred interest when he held a Memorial Day weekend barbecue at his Arizona home and invited three potential running mates
Gov. Mitt Romney, Florida
Gov. Charlie Crist and Louisiana
Gov. Bobby Jindal and their wives
I noticed they're pushing Mitt Romney in the limelight recently. McCranky is going to hold out until last minute to counter BO.
Obama has fielded numerous questions about perhaps offering Hillary Rodham Clinton a spot on his ticket. The former first lady suspended her own presidential campaign but issued a strong endorsement for him. Okay, so now he's entertained:
Majority Leader Harry Reid
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
Reps. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina
Rahm Emanuel of Illinois
Jim Johnson and Eric Holder asked to guide the vetting. Johnson suffered media coverage about corruption, so he left.
What we know from the past is, Cheney was guiding the vetting, when he put himself as a running mate.
So, who do you think each of these front runners will announce as their VP running mate?
My guess is:
-Sen. McCranky & Sen. Lindsey Graham
-Sen. BO & Sen. Dick Durbin or Sen. Joe Biden/or General Wesley Clark (last 2 favorable)
I predict it could possible be an all out senatorial race...first in history.
All I know is, I want accountability in Washington, we haven't had it in ANY party. Put PINK in the party and damn, you'll have it! We'll beotch. We know how. :P

The Media's in Love with Barack Obama
It's pretty obvious that the media has a bizarre fascination with Barack Obama. Some may even say it's a love affair. We want you to be the judge. We've compiled two videos of the more outrageous moments of this not so secret love affair. Follow this link to watch the two videos and vote on which one you think is better. Your vote will determine which video we put on the air.
The media is in love with Barack Obama. If it wasn't so serious, it would be funny.
Regards,
The McCain Campaign
You think the media is unfair to McCain? I don't, he's hearing exactly what he and his wife are. Morons. They've been getting excellent treatment until recently when he starts attacking BO when he promised he wouldn't.
You think the media is unfair to BO? I don't think so. The media made he and Hillary media darlings and why I called them "Twins" long ago.

I've had to apologize ever since I learned about slavery. I think I speak for many in that we are sickened by our history of slavery, but we shouldn't have to keep apologizing or have a threat held over us that money will satisfy. People suffered hard times back then and blacks even more. But there were a few blacks that were treated fairly and sheltered from the offenses. I visited castles where blacks were hidden and allowed to read, they were fed, clothed better than whites. We should remember slavery, so we never commit this crime against humanity, but we must move on and continue to unite our society, rather than harbor bitterness and stir emotions and point fingers. We've grown as a nation, let's keep growing.
We should focus on the class that has no voice: our troops and children without health care.
Things might not be 100% fair - that goes for every human being, but relations between blacks and whites, I would say is at 99%. I see the bright side, we have laws to protect all humans, regardless of color and have placed those provisions in all working environments, we're fairer than most countries. That said, we've come a long way baby, it's time to focus on moving forward, not backward and shaming by pointing fingers.
I apologize again, but I shouldn't be shamed to do this. I'll do it when and if I want.

"I know how to win wars. I know HOW to win wars." ~~lil McCain
Three Questions for Mc Cain:
1. WHEN did you win a war? Viet Nam wasn't a declared war, we did NOT win there and YOU can not single handed-ly or backhandedly win a war.
2. What do you win in a war? A trip to Disneyland?
3. Who in the hell advises you on this war rhetoric?
4. Do you think leaking BO's name to the terrorist enemy will help win the war? Is that your war strategy? Will it cost tax payers more money if BO were to become a casualty, or a POW?
5. What is a uranium gas enrichment centrifuge and what is it used for? Ask lil B.

I'm grateful to her for being so dedicated to politics, to Womens' and health care issues. If men had a womb they'd think differently about her. She inspires little girls all over the world. Make sure they know that following 9-11 attacks she sought funding for the recovery efforts and security for NYC. She helped secure $21 billion for the WTC redevelopment. She led investigations into health care for first responders of 9-11. She wants to end suffering of Afghan women under Taliban rule. She stood for health benefits for veterans and lobbied against closure of military bases that give them care. She lobbied for health care for children, and women and men. She called for investigation on sexual scenes in kids video games. She's here to protect us in a way government should. Ever since she came onto the politico scene, she's been viewed as a female identity that draws fascination, while there was a large amount of misogyny present about Clinton on the Internet and this ladies, is the thing we HAVE to fight. It's NEVER right to let men reduce women to 'baggage' no matter what their vote or stance was. We shouldn't be reduced to sexual humiliation. That happens in other cultures, not our own...but it happened. And I'm sad to say there are cruel people, especially to women (evident in politics) and that it happened to this human that dedicated her life to charitable causes of making children, women, men of service, and others, an offering of a better life. She was here to improve the quality of life and reverse damage what a man the last 8 years caused. She proved to me she's a strong woman, stronger than I imagined to put up with all the biting remarks. It had to hurt. Little girls should know that. And I salute her. PINK!
And I Love this woman too!
Nearly every religion, "race," or nation feels it has aspects which are uniquely valuable. Then this can be broken down to groups: men or women.
Issues important to liberal feminists to bring positive change includes reproductive and abortion rights, sexual harassment, voting, education, equivalent pay for comparable work, safe and affordable childcare, health care, domestic violence at home and abuse in work place, and voting.
Radical feminism considers male-based authority and power structure responsible for oppression and inequality. Misandry is the hatred of men or boys, as opposed to misogyny, the hatred of women; or misanthropy, hatred of the human species. We can't forget "penis envy" and "overt misandry." When men paint women in an evil, malicious or dirty light, as in the picture that showed a woman crying, while smoking and drinking wine, was an example of a man being misogynistic, or at least, evidence of misogyny. Don't call her a drama queen, or diva, her millionaire boyfriend probably just died, cheesch, now she's pressured. Don't punch women in the face, kiss them (only after you ask).

One of the best things about getting my monthly subscription to Rolling Stone, other than the no-holds-barred political journalism, is reading the latest installment of Get Your War On, a brilliant comic strip by David Rees.
So after taking a couple weeks off from PB, I thought I'd start some new posts with a little tidbit from this month's issue of Rolling Stone (sorry, only text posted since this comic is not online yet):
Best,

So after taking a couple weeks off from PB, I thought I'd start some new posts with a little tidbit from this month's issue of Rolling Stone (sorry, only text posted since this comic is not online yet):
Picture this: 3 office workers sit around a break room table, conversing and having coffee. Here's what they are saying to each other:To enjoy more of David Rees' insightful humor, please check out his website here, and thanks to all the hard working Democrats out there doing their best to help us win this historic election!
Woman 1: Did you see that John and Cindy McCain are carrying more than $200,000 in credit card debt?
Man: Goddamn, I knew they loved the Iraq War, but I didn't realize they were paying for it themselves.
Woman 2: McCain admits he doesn't "understand economics." Do you think it's possible he doesn't even understand what MONEY is?"
Best,

Phil Gramm Guru will Burst McCain Bubble
If you didn't know he's McCain's adviser...a crook.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Gramm
Years before Phil Gramm was a McCain campaign adviser and a lobbyist for a Swiss bank at the center of the housing credit crisis, he pulled a sly maneuver in the Senate that helped create today's subprime meltdown.
By David Corn
May 28, 2008
In response, the House Democratic leadership stripped him of his position on the committee. He won re-election to his House seat again in 1982. Following his reelection, Gramm resigned his House seat on January 5, 1983, forcing a mid-term special election. Gramm ran in that election on February 12, 1983 to fill the vacancy that he had created, but as a Republican. Winning, he became the first Republican to represent the district since its creation, and after he left the House, the seat was retained for the Republican party (by Joe Barton).

Iran says its nuclear program is purely energy-related, but the United States accuses it of trying to develop atomic arms.
http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5imG-Gmyrfld190llCL7AdcThgngAD91UKVO80
The package of incentives was accompanied by a letter from Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and the foreign ministers of the other five countries and sets out a scenario in which Iran would get a temporary reprieve from economic and financial sanctions in exchange for freezing its enrichment activities.
Preliminary negotiations over a permanent halt could then begin, although the United States would not join them until after Iran agrees to fully suspend uranium enrichment, which can produce the fuel needed to make nuclear bombs.
WHAT ARE THE PACKAGE OF INCENTIVE YOU ASK?
Well, I can guarantee it's not cupcakes. Let's hope the PACKAGE OF INCENTIVE from this new COOKIE PUSHER will drive a stake in policy, not in civilians. We know what happened to Richard Armitage and Colin Powell.

The Bush administration will send a senior envoy this weekend to international talks with Iran about its nuclear program in what U.S. officials described as a "one-time deal" designed to demonstrate a serious desire to negotiate a solution to the impasse over Tehran's ambitions.
In a significant departure from long-standing policy, Undersecretary of State William J. Burns will join a scheduled meeting in Geneva between European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana and top Iranian nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili, according to a senior State Department official

Since the Iranian revolution of 1979, Iran has had some difficult relations with Western countries, especially us. Iran has been under constant US unilateral sanctions which were tightened under the presidency of Bill Clinton.
Iran has had a civilian nuclear program since before the 1979 revolution. However, since the revolution, there has been some worries that Iran could use this program to develop nuclear weapons and especially since we invaded Iraq and find reasons to remain. These worries have been heightened by by Alireza Jafarzadeh, a prominent associate of MKO (Aug 2002), of the existence of 2 secret nuclear sites: a uranium enrichment facility in Natanz (part underground) and a heavy water facility in Arak. There is however no proof at this stage that this program is not purely civil.
I want proof. I want proof. I want proof.
I want proof that there are underground nuclear plants that are making weapons and that it's not civilian. To say there are "uranium gas enrichment centrifuges" means absolutely nothing to me. Do a google search of gas enrichment centrifuges.
The Iranian nuclear program has been controversial as, although the development of a civilian nuclear power program, including enrichment activities, IS explicitly allowed under the terms of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Read More »

US-Led Strikes Killed 47 Afghan Civilians, Mostly Women and Children
AFP, Friday, July 11, 2008
http://www.commondreams.org/archive/2008/07/11/10280/
An official investigation has found that US-led air strikes a week ago struck a wedding and killed 47 Afghan civilians, MOST of them Women and Children, an official said Friday.
The US-led coalition HAD said that ONLY militants died in the July 6 strikes in the mountains of eastern Nangarhar province. But spokeswoman Lieutenant Rumi Nielson-Green told AFP Friday the force was investigating and regretted the loss of any civilian life. It is facing similar charges over strikes 2 days earlier in another border area. (The only thing I ever hear is that we're suffering deadlier attacks...no you wonder why?).
A 9 member team appointed by President Hamid Karzai to look into the Nangarhar incident found that ONLY CIVILIANS were killed in remote Deh Bala district, said the head of the mission, Burhanullah Shinwari. "We found that 47 civilians, MOSTLY WOMEN AND CHILDREN were killed in the air strikes and another 9 were wounded," said Shinwari, who is also the deputy speaker of Afghanistan's senate. "They were all civilians and had no links with Taliban or Al-Qaeda," he told AFP.

Our news does not ask tough questions, let alone report it.
On Friday, sources in the Iraqi Defense Ministry told a local news network that Israel Air Force (IAF) war planes are practicing in Iraqi airspace and land on US airbases in the country as a preparation for a potential strike on Iran.
The IDF denied the reports, calling them "baseless."
The report, which was also carried by Iranian news outlets, claimed that recently massive IAF overnight presence was detected in several American held airbases.
According to the sources, former military officers in the Anbar province said IAF jets arrive during the night from Jordanian airspace, enter Iraq's airspace and land on a runway near the city of Hadita. The sources estimated the jets were practicing for a raid on Iran's nuclear sites.

The IDF denied the reports, calling them "baseless."

The 2 front runners don't even have a clue about oil to get what they say, right. I just heard a comment, "We will be dependent on foreign oil." J FYI: We ALREADY are! More important point is that fuel we use is coming from Mexico and Canada but we're paying Middle East prices, when we're trucking it north and south on our highways, so it's NOT coming from the Middle East. A majority of Middle East oil to going to China and India and we shouldn't be paying for their transportation and delivery.
We have 68 million acres set aside, it's meant as a reserve for the Navy. Drill it dammit. We already drill in Alaska.
Here's a message I received from Congressman Don Young spoke on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives this past Wednesday to urge the opening of ANWR and the development of American energy sources. Rep. Young's bill, H.R. 6107 the American Energy Independence and Price Reduction Act, would open ANWR and use the approximately $200 billion in federal revenue generated to develop Alternative Energy sources. H.R. 6107 currently has 166 bipartisan cosponsors and counting, including former ANWR opponents. The Democratic Leadership has yet to allow a vote to increase production on 97% of the offshore areas that are not leased and 94% of the onshore areas that are not leased.

DON YOUNG Congressman for All Alaska
So, they are blaming the democrats...
We better get on the ball and pump more, then drill more, then pump more, then...
blink, blink.
