Months ago Barack Obama predicted the SCOTUS ruling on handguns which was handed down last week in a 5-4 decision.

"The 2nd Amendment Right is an individual right and not just a right of militia and that's where I expect the Supreme Court to rule. I think that is a fair reading of the text of the Constitution. I respect the right of lawful gun owners to hunt, fish, protect their families."

"Why are you wearing the 3D glasses?"

by Os Mutantes
I made a video in 2003 to this great song by the famous Brazilian band "The Mutants" (or Os Mutantes) as a protest against the Iraq war. This video was made before the Baghad invasion and toppling of Saddam's "powerful" army.
I still think we should leave Iraq and get in line like the rest of the world to buy our oil.
I think the war is racist.

McCain Predicts Polk County Gay Marriage Ruling Will Be "Reversed"
Senator John McCain was in Gladbrook, Ia. on Sunday evening campaigning at a house party. He spoke on the lawn at the home of Lynn and Claire Handorf and then took questions from the audience and press. Regarding last week's Polk County ruling that allowed at least one gay couple to marry in Des Moines, Senator McCain said, "Smart people tell me that that decision will be reversed by a higher court." He says he would support a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, "if there was a superior federal court that said that the states don't have the right to regulate the status of marriage...but I certainly don't [support an amendment] when the states are deciding."

The Arizona presidential candidate was in Iowa for a two-day campaign tour.
