Political Hippo Circle Jerk - America, farg YEAH!

[ATV]

the party that has done little for them except keep the majority of the black areas of the inner cities in horrible condition, doing nothing but holding out the cash in front of people and keeping them locked into the same life from generation to generation, with little hope to get out.

Yea, that's us alright.

[Phanatic]

Rural areas aren't so hot either. I'd say neither party has done much good in those areas. Punt!

Joe Biden, Eagles fan

Last year, Time magazine did a Q&A thing with the spouses of Democratic presidential candidates and Jill Biden was asked to name the TV show that she and her husband tried not to miss. She said, "Philadelphia Eagles games!"

Which makes you wonder, now that Joe Biden is preparing for the adventure of an eventful life, a vice-presidential run at Barack Obama's side:

Has a national political candidate ever been a fan of a Philadelphia sports team?

Bill Clinton liked Arkansas basketball -- in 1994, he was the first sitting President ever to attend an NCAA Tournament game when the Razorbacks played in a regional final game in Dallas. (I remember thinking what a pain the metal detectors were; simpler times.) George W. Bush used to own the Texas Rangers, so you assume some loyalty there. Gerald Ford played football at Michigan. I'm sure there were others.

But did FDR ever root for the Steagles? Did Truman like the Whiz Kids? Did LBJ think Joe Must Go? Did Dan Quayle like the Crazy Eights? Did anyone ever have a Philadelphia rooting interest?

In his day job, as senior Senator from Delaware, Biden has not always been the NFL's friend. About 10 years ago, he co-sponsored a bill along with Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter, that would have forced the league to kick in more money for stadium construction and protect local municipalities from extortion. (It didn't pass.) About 20 years ago, he got into a dance with the league on anti-trust issues -- a dance that the NFL felt was a little bit too close.

But on Sunday, he apparently roots for the Eagles. Which raises the question, given Biden's new running mate: do Super Bowl aspirations for the Eagles this season qualify as the audacity of hope? Or just audacity?

(Oh, and given the size of those mitts, has he ever played wide receiver?)

A couple of meth-heads admit to planning Obama's assassination.

Yea, that's us alright.

Is there some other party thats been running the show in big cities I don't know about?

[Father Demon]

In a live satellite speech tonight to the Democratic National Convention in Denver from a home in Kansas City, Obama said: "I'm here with the Girardo family here in St. Louis."

Then came a graphic across the television screen that said Obama was in Kansas City, Mo.

Obama trying to shut up "swift boat" style ad

This is only interesting to me for one thing:

Fox News and CNN have declined to air the anti-Obama ad.

fox news doesnt need to air it since they will be showing it non stop for the next five days while they cover the story of "controversial new ad about obamas ties to terrorist"

I wonder if this guy knows what the Ministry of Truth is?

The GOPer in question is Colorado GOP chairman Dick Wadhams, who accidentally made the admission when describing the GOP's war room in Denver set up to hammer Obama during convention week.

Wadhams described the GOP's outfit thusly to the Denver Post: "Just consider this the Ministry of Truth."

Um, as anybody who has ever read George Orwell knows, the Ministry of Truth exists to disseminate false propaganda about how great the ruling regime is, continuously rewriting both history and the present-day facts in order to maintain total control over the population.

Soon it will be illegal to disagree with Barac "The True Father" Obama

Says the guy who doesn't read and therefore almost certainly has no idea what book The Ministry of Truth is a part of.
