Gravel makes so much damn sense... no wonder they bumped him off the debates

Mike Gravel was eliminated from appearing at the Democrat Debates last week. They sited many reasons, but the result is one less voice to call the others out when they are talking jive. I think this guy is great. The fact that Hilary is #1 and this guy isn't even getting a chance to talk is one of the reasons why we're in such a mess. Anyway, he went to Nevada and staged his own debate and streamed it live. He would stop it anytime he wanted to talk. Here's a clip.



Here's him talking to the best interviewer on the planet, Diane Rehm, on why he was bumped:

Note the only other person with an interview on here... Ron Paul. I don't want another Republican in there, but he seems like a decent fellow as well.

Good luck Gravel. GRAVEL 2008 SITE

Picture is fake, of course. He can't play guitar.

Bush Fun Factoid?
"The Bush family homestead in Crawford is nothing more than an elaborate set. The house, built in 2000, was designed to be ready for Bush to step into - like a set awaiting an actor - during the 2000 presidential election." More

Here's another fake picture. One is off a second rate B-movie actor playing the role of cowboy to make people think he's one of them. The other is Ronald Reagan.

INTERNATIONALY:

VALENCIA, Spain - Global warming is "unequivocal" and carbon dioxide already in the atmosphere commits the world to sea levels rising an average of up to 4.6 feet, the world's top climate experts warned Saturday in their most authoritative report to date.

"Only urgent, global action will do," said U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, calling on the United States and China — the world's two biggest polluters — to do more to slow global climate change.

MEANWHILE, IN BUSHLAND:

A federal court in California yesterday rejected the Bush administration's new fuel economy standards for light trucks including SUVs, ruling that the government failed to take into account the effects of carbon emissions and their possible link to global warming.

On Thursday, White House officials already were eyeing a possible appeal.

Democratic Debate off to a fun start, but no Gravel?

Looks like we're getting a decent debate tonight judging by the kick-off. Wolfie seems unable to keep any control over Hilary and Obama. Mike Gravel totally left out, which I think is lame.

Infotainment News Blues

I'm flipping through the channels on my cable guide. MSNBC is airing a show called "Sex Bunker". Christ.

Exciting Opportunity, anyone?

WOW! Read this email I just got. This is an amazing chance to get some easy real money. This guy contacted me OUT OF THE BLUE, and needs some decent person to help his get his fortune out of Sudan. He'll even give a huge portion of it to you! You just need to do a few things... anyway, I'm busy today, so anyone who wants some free money can contact this dude and get the ball rolling. Below is an image of the guy (maybe) I found on the web. Looks like he's got billions! Those Princes never flaunt their wealth. Here's the golden ring, boys and girls, grab it!

Greetings to you.

I must say it my pleasure to send you this email, Please pardon me if I have intruded on your privacy, how are you doing, I hope you are Doing fine, if so glory be to God.

My name is Daniel Williams. I am the son of Chief Etu Williams from the Republic of Sudan.My family and I have been unfortunate to find ourselves caught up in a very difficult situation. You may be surprise to receive this letter, but it is of utmost importance to me and my family.

I am about to entrust my destiny and the destiny of my whole dependants on you, if you can help me and my sister, it will also be of immense benefit to you too. This matter demands utmost trust, honesty, integrity and most important.
It is only through the above that my family and I will be assured of our security. This regrettable situation led to the killing of my father and displacement of my family. During the brutal civil war in my country, my late father of blessed memory was brutally murdered by the REBELS - Mr. Howe Adamu.

I managed to escape to this country (Accra-Ghana), through the help of the International Rescue Committee (IRC). Before my late father's death, he drew my attention to one of his access containing about $6.2 million dollars which he smuggled out at the start of the war to a security company in Ghana, the security company does not know the real contents of the box according to what my father told me.

My father registered the property in my name, he also gave me the certificate of deposit and some other papers issued to him by the security company, which I still have in my possession. The problem we have is that as a refugee, the immigration law does not allow us to open, hold or operate bank account in Ghana and we do not want to seek the assistance of just anybody for fear of being duped or defrauded of our only livelihood.

My father deposited the property in my name because of my future. I seriously need your help to move the property out of Africa because if I tamper with it here in Africa, government may seize it because of our small age, I am 26 years old now and my sister just 22 years old, please help us for God sake.

What is holding us here in this country is the property, the life inside refugee camp is not easy, it’s a very bad situation, hence the British Government and UN is not really taking care of us. The property and us have make necessary arrangement legitimately for the transfer of the property out of Africa; only what I need is someone who will receive it in abroad that is why we contact you.

NOTE:PLEASE I COULD HAVE WANT YOU TO COME DOWN TO GHANA BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE I WLL TRUST YOU AND ALSO YOU WILL SEE EVERYTHING YOURSELF.

We intend to invest the money on a good business, at the same time we will use part to assist the orphanage Children who are suffering, most especially we the refugees. I will be looking forward to hear from you, as I believe that destiny has brought us together.

PLEASE KINDLY RESPOND BACK TO MY ALTERNATIVE EMAIL ADDRESS BELOW:

Quotes for the masses

Men will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest.

I never would have agreed to the formulation of the Central Intelligence Agency back in forty-seven, if I had known it would become the American Gestapo.

Man is certainly stark mad: he cannot make a worm, yet he will make gods by the dozen.
~ Michel de Montaigne

Which is it, is man one of God's blunders or is God one of man's?
~ Nietzsche

Civil disobedience, that’s not our problem. Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running the country. That's our problem.
~ Howard Zinn

Being A Total Douche Bag for Dummies

UPDATE: Ah, apparently this guy with the shit-eating grin is passingly famous to people watching crap TV. Shows you what I know. Big Brother 34 or something like that.


Want to be a real douche bag but don't know how? Here is a 8 minute primer. After this you will be able to:

1) Know how to discuss your douchey business in douchey terms in the appropriate douchey setting with equally douchey friends.

2) Think about, discuss and present yourself and your goals with the proper emphasis on douchiness.

3) Interact with women while maintaining maximum douche strength

4) Dealing with douche-related medical issues by finding like-minded douchey doctors.

Okay, class... let the learning begin.



I actually love Doctor 90210, but this guy and that doctor are some of the most vapid and self-possessed people I've seen so far.

Finally - Plastic Surgery for Babies

I'm addicted to all plastic surgery shows. This would be the best one.

What Would Jesus Buy?

Check out this trailer. Anything produced by Morgan Spurlock (Supersize Me, 30 days) is a thumbs up for me.

Annie Leibovitz is great even when she sells out

Annie Leibovitz is a stunning photographer. She's given us so many memorable images most people don't even realize how familiar they are with her work. That picture of John Lennon, naked and wrapped around Yoko? Yeah that's her.

Anyway check out these images she did for Disney. I think of Disney in much the same way as Wal Mart, which, being an elitist snob, means I think it's a pretty low-rent establishment. That said I know my 5-year-old daughter will go ape-shit for these images. Plus that Snow White is a hottie, no?

It's fun to pretend!

Just getting the Monday blood flowing here. I'm not sure when Halloween became a Hollywood PR stunt, but I won't complain. Hope you all had a great weekend – though I doubt it was better than the kid in the smoking jacket's weekend.
