The NY Post published a cartoon by artist Sean Delonas, depicting a chimpanzee that had been shot to death by two police officers. One of the officers turns to the other and says, “They’ll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill.”

Obama & The World Rejoice

Nov 5th, 2008 Posted in Elections 2008, Politics | no comment »

Barack Hussein Obama has been elected and will become our 44th President! Just as importantly, John “bomb bomb iran” McCain was not elected. The war-mongers are being booted out of office, and much of the world is rejoicing.

Many people have been concentrating on the historic aspect of electing a black president. Really, I think most younger Americans don’t see white and black Americans.

John McCain’s idea to pick a female running mate was good, but his particular choice was not. With Sarah Palin as his current running mate, McCain knows he will get votes from all the Hillary supporters who want to vote for a female, but know nothing about politics.

Hillary supporters who understand politics and care about our country will not be swayed. I will admit, I would vote for Sarah Palin in a heartbeat if she were running against John McCain. However, as McCain’s partner-in-crime, Palin will only help continue Read the rest of this entry »
