Candidate + SW Virginia + Slur + YouTube = LOSER

Welcome to SW Virginia, Barry Obama.  You’ve just had your “macaca” moment. Except calling Sarah Palin a pig (which was clearly the intent as judged by the audience’s reaction) is much, much worse than uttering a silly made-up word.

Tell Barry what you think of him and his sexist slur. Send a tube of [...]

Palin Defeats Biden (In CNN Poll)

Barry Obama and his crew may want to rethink the strategy of holding up Dunkin’ Donuts Joe as a reason to vote for the Dem ticket.

Perhaps Obama Should Be Elected U.N. Secretary General

A BBC poll of “the world” finds that the “the world” wants the U.S. to elect Barry Obama as our next president.  In fact, UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who is overseeing the end of the Labour Party’s domination of British politics, has thrown his support behind Barry.
