obama

The euphoria is over.  And I must admit I shed a few tears.

McCain has given a wonderfully dignified speech upon losing, but more dramatic still was Bush’s brilliant endorsement of Obama’s premiership and his call to arms, so that the current administration do not drop the ball in the 75 days leading up to his governorship.

I liked that.  That took humanity and a certain amount of pride-swallowing.

Good on ya dubbleya.

Hey, maybe we’ll all see the man in a new light.

Apparently Oliver Stone’s movie on the subject, starring Josh Brolin,  is by no means sycophantic but certainly sympathetic.

You may recall I blogged this image by Obey, a few weeks ago.

Well, a nice twist came out today.

Sorry the quality’s so poor, but that’s the credit crunch for ya.

This is the end…

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I’ll never look into your eyes…again

Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need…of some…strangers hand
In a…desperate land

Lost in a roman…wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah

There’s danger on the edge of town
Ride the king’s highway, baby
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway west, baby

Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake is long, seven miles
Ride the snake…he’s old, and his skin is cold

The west is the best
The west is the best
Get here, and we’ll do the rest

The blue bus is callin’ us
The blue bus is callin’ us
Driver, where you taken us

The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He went into the room where his sister lived, and…then he
Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
He walked on down the hall, and
And he came to a door…and he looked inside
Father, yes son, I want to kill you
Mother…I want to…fuck you

C’mon baby, take a chance with us
C’mon baby, take a chance with us
C’mon baby, take a chance with us
And meet me at the back of the blue bus
Doin’ a blue rock
On a blue bus
Doin a blue rock
Cmon, yeah

Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

It hurts to set you free
But you’ll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die

This is the end

This is the day that America finally decides if they trust Obama to lead the West. Even at this late stage I fear a lurking Bradley effect. Every major poll predicts Obama will win, but not by much, for example in a key swing state, Ohio, the difference is only 4%. I can’t help thinking that’s not a cut and dried situation. Oh, I really hope I’m worrying unrealistically.

Finally, and my last thoughts before the result.

Which scriptwriter penned Obama’s grandmother’s death on the final day of electioneering? (Surely, as a result, winning him further sympathy votes.) Was it the same one that opened the heavens and stymied Glock’s car on Sunday?

Is it divine intervention?



Wassup 2008.

Thanks to Will Atkinson for providing me with this gem.

Not only is this very funny and a genius pastiche but it is a very true take on our current zeitgeist (yeah I know but it’s the right word.)

For those of you who don’t remember the vernacular hogging original it was truly the talk of the water cooler in 2000.



the real sarah palin story

She’s a treat…

mccain responds to Powell.

Do you think Powell might be off McCain’s Christmas card list?

As for McCain’s smile…



Colin Powell Backs Barrack Obama

Is this the end in sight for McCain?

For one of the Republicans’ most respected figures to publicly put his faith in the opposition raises a great deal of doubt about the credibility of McCain’s challenge and the fact that he says it’s because McCain chose Palin as his running mate says it all.

What’s more he feels Obama could be a transformational world figure.

Ouch.



The McCain-Obama Post-Debate “Handshake”

More disrespect from McCain to Obama.  He’s doing nothing to win over undecided voters with shit like this.

“That One”

Ouch. McCain is disrespectful in the extreme to Obama in this week’s debate..

Ok. The queen never does this but God Bless America.

Oh, how I laughed.

So, Sarah Palin can do no wrong?

Think again.

This is the biggest political rally in Alaskan history.

And the only reason they are out on the streets is to say they DON’T support Sarah Palin.

They should know.  She governs them.

Man, never would you have thought Alaskan politics would be even remotely interesting.

Wow.

This woman knows how to work an audience.

It’s three minutes in before she actually speaks.

A mix of schmaltz, warmongering bollocks and good old US of A.

She’s a star but one’s flesh creeps.

]

It’s too early to call this given she’s in her (and her daughter’s impending) honeymoon period.  But the Republican conservatism and right wing cack is clearly a fully integrated part of her dogma.

It’s a sideshow I feel.



is it what you is is or what you ain’t

Hey McCain.

C’mon man.  Bitta positivity?

]



Would you vote for this man?

Surely not?

He is rather right wing.

He does rather dwell on his Vietnam days.

TIME OUT! TIME OUT! TIME OUT!

(SFX: Pandemonium)

America hates/used to hate anything to do with Vietnam.

Here’s how he’s selling the new American Conservatism
