NOGOPLAN | Better if it was a Palin - McCain 2008 ticket! McCain bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb...bomb his acceptance speech!

2008-12-02T18:33:03Z

Sure, I wasn't going to insult the Republican presidential candidate and his vice presidential pick! After all, Governor Sarah Palin is doing far better than Senator John McCain. But the greatest blunder in history came from this one man and his "war story" acceptance speech. Of course, I am still supporting Senator Barack Obama and Senator Joe Biden, and mainly cause this McCain is at the age of retirement! Did I insult McCain again? Oh, I am sorry. I guess he's not talking about the major issue and it's called: ECONOMY!

I can't wait till the conservative critics view this! I mean they will call me Lucifer for insulting the Republicans. They already see my face, my shirt and my video. They're ready to rate it poor!

Picture this! If that lovely Governor Sarah Palin was going through the presidential debates, tours across the mainland, wins the primaries. She should have been the Republican nominee!

I will elaborate! Just for the conservatives!

NOGOPLAN, this is the new phrase for Republicans. No GOP plan! Anyone in the Democratic Party viewing this, feel free to use this acronym in any attacks ads.

Pardon my bad singing and chanting, you can't do this one thing without support. So therefore, with your help, you can tell the Republicans that anything they do is "NOGOPLAN!"

Thanks for viewing and post comments at the bottom. Thanks to all my supporters for taking the time to view the videos. I am proud of all of those who watch my videos. I am truly proud to be an American and your friend. Take a stand against the corporate owned media, by turning off the radio, television, and internet smear machine. Let the real media analysis do the work for you. Don't let the media control your voice, your judgment and your vote. To all my critics: "Prove me wrong!"

Witness - The Other Olympics - 19 Aug 08 - Part 1

2008-10-29T03:31:27Z

If you are Tibetan, the only way you can compete at the Beijing Olympics is by renouncing your Tibetan identity and registering as a Chinese athlete. Many Tibetan athletes in exile have refused to do this and are instead participating in the 'Tibetan Olympics' in northern India. Witness follows two participants as they prepare for and then participate in 'The Other Olympics'.

Authors@Google: Porochista Khakpour

2008-10-29T03:31:18Z

The Authors@Google program was pleased to welcome writer and novelist Porochista Khakpour to Google's New York office to discuss her debut book, "Sons and Other Flammable Objects".

Porochista Khakpour was born in Tehran in 1978 and raised in Los Angeles. She received her BA from Sarah Lawrence College and her MA from The Johns Hopkins University Writing Seminars. Her writing has appeared or is forthcoming in The New York Times, The Village Voice, The Chicago Reader, Paper, Flaunt, Nylon, and Bidoun, among many others.
Her debut novel "Sons and Other Flammable Objects" received much acclaim from The New York Times Book Review, The New Yorker, The Los Angeles Times, The San Francisco Chronicle, among others. It won the 77th Annual California Book Award in "First Fiction," and was a Chicago Tribune "Fall's Best" selection and a New York Times "Editor's Choice."

Khakpour builds her luminously intelligent debut around the travails of an Iranian-American family caught in the feverish and paranoid currents immediately after 9/11. Darius Adam and his wife, Laleh, flee revolutionary Iran for the alien territory of Southern California, settling in an apartment complex with the allegorically enticing name of Eden Gardens. Son Xerxes grows up with psychological dual citizenship: regular American outside of Eden Gardens, but the son of bitter Darius and clueless Lala inside. Xerxes finds true paradise in watching Barbara Eden, the star of I Dream of Jeannie.
Against this background of a parody paradise, Khakpour plays out the events following 9/11, which will, grotesquely, unite the Adam family. By then Xerxes, 26, is an unemployed college grad in a New York airshaft-view apartment, as far from Eden Gardens as possible.
Khakpour is an elegant writer, and she imparts a perfect sense of the ironies of being Persian in America, where the blurry collective image of the Middle East alternates between blonde genies in bottles and furrow-browed terrorists in cockpits.

Thid event took place on June 24, 2008.

TRANSCRIPT:
Activists carry signs that read "Join Republicans against McCain."

One gets interviewed and says: "...I'm from New Jersey, I'm down here at CPAC supporting Mike Huckabee...for several reasons... I appreciate his stances on the conservative issues, he is a true conservative, he is our only conservative. And beyond that he is for the middle class, and he believes that people should be lifted and brought up and not put down. And there is too many people in this country that are too dependent on others and it shouldn't be as much as it is right now, the middle class is just being thrown into the poor class.. and its just getting worse and worse and its wrong. And I truly believe that Mike Huckabee can make a difference in this country..."
