McCain - Why he is running for President - The video McCain doesn't want you too see!

2008-09-06T00:48:09Z

John McCain wrote a book in 2002 titled "Worth the Fighting For".
In that book McCain states the reason he decided to run for President.
The reason is not because he thinks he is the best man for the job.
It is only to satisfy his own ego in obtaining what he calls "The Prize".

He is not running out of patriotism, as he admits in the book, he is running for his "one shot at the prize" .

Original sound track "Decomposing the Machine" by Skinsdeep, under the artist name of Sosngr (2001).

21 Reasons Why McCain’s VP Pick is HILARIOUS! (a work in progress)

2008-09-06T02:08:15Z

Previously, I’d seen John McCain’s VP pick as a no-win situation. He couldn’t pick Joe Lieberman because he’s Jewish and pro-choice (angering evangelicals), couldn’t pick Mitt Romney because he’s Mormon (angering evangelicals), and couldn’t pick Mike Huckabee since he’s a religious fundamentalist (angering independents). Seemed like Tim Pawlenty would be a safe, boring choice that wouldn’t excite anyone, especially since no one knows who he is.

But McCain’s choice of Alaska’s Sarah Palin shows that, by attempting to think outside the box, McCain has found a previously undiscovered way to lose a no-win situation. Seriously, choosing Palin is utterly ridiculous. Here are just a few reasons that I thought of without really trying:

1. Completely undercuts one of McCain’s main arguments against Barack Obama — that Obama lacks the experience to be president. If Obama isn’t experienced enough, what the hell is Palin? Should be hilarious to watch McCain and the republicans try to answer that one.

2. Introduces an issue that has not gotten nearly as much attention as it should — McCain’s age and health. It’s clear that McCain’s brain is already deteriorating, and with his advanced age, Palin is less than a heartbeat away from being president — it’s more like a half beat. Does anyone, including republicans, feel secure with the prospect of president Palin?

3. Alaska is already a republican state. No votes to pick up there.

4. McCain’s pick shows that he has essentially bought his own propaganda, believing that there are scads of Hillary Clinton supporters who won’t back Obama and need a reason to vote for McCain. While McCain and the corporate media spent all week talking about this phantom demographic, I think there are only a tiny number of such women who were given a disproportionately loud voice by the McCain campaign and the media trying to stir up trouble. If there are such women, my guess is that they were mostly disgusted republicans who were willing to cross party lines to see a woman become president. If there were any more, Hillary’s strong statements at the DNC will have left no doubt what supporting Hillary really means — voting with the democrats.

5. This is sure to infuriate the very powerful sexist wing of the republican party. I can’t imagine Rush Limbaugh supporting a woman president of any party.

6. Palin is in the middle of an investigation over whether she used her influence to get her former brother-in-law, State Trooper Mike Wooten, fired. When Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan refused to fire Wooten, Monegan was suddenly fired. Palin and her administration forcefully claimed they had nothing to do with it, but they had to reverse that stance when a tape surfaced of a call with one of her staff saying that Palin wanted Wooten fired. Firing dedicated public servants (a state trooper, no less), for political/personal reasons? DOJ attorney scandal, anyone?

7. Soon to be a YouTube sensation, Palin said in a CNBC interview that she doesn’t want to entertain the notion of being vice president until “someone answers for me what is it exactly the VP does everyday?” Why can’t she find out for herself? Don’t they have books and the internet in Alaska? If someone said I might be chosen as VP, I would find out myself what the VP does, not wait for someone to explain it to me. Maybe, like McCain and Bush, Palin is still learning how to use “a Google”.

8. Palin was the chairwoman of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, which “oversees oil and gas drilling, development and production, reservoir depletion and metering operations on all lands subject to the state's police powers”. Just the change America needs — another VP looking to enrich the oil industry. Totally undercuts McCain’s claim that he bucks the repubs by being more green and is not in the pocket of Big Oil.

Water Fuel: Fox News does Cover-up Story

2008-09-06T00:20:32Z

As you have probably already seen Fox26 in Houston, TX did a story on Denny Klein a couple of years ago. That story has since made it way around the world via youtube and other video sites. I saw the story when it aired and directed many friends to the video on youtube. Then not too long ago I saw a teaser for a related story about turning your car into a water burning hybrid. I truly thought they were about to do another story about the technology of using water as a fuel. That didn't turn out to be the case. They had Scotty Kilmer a quack mechanic who does a weekend segment on a different Houston News station come on as their "expert" to debunk all of this HHO stuff.
When I saw the story I was stunned. It totally ignored the previous story that I saw. So I decided to do a little research to see if there was more info on the web. That's when I found out that the website they're showing in the news report appears to be Denny Klein's website.(He's the guy interviewed in the first story. Who says in that story that the car could run on water exclusively, but is currently running as a gas/water hybrid just like the plans say.)
Also, if the person controlling the mouse on that webpage in the story would have scrolled down a bit, you would have seen the original story THEY did that has now become so popular on youtube.(Because it's embedded on the bottom of the page they're on.)
This debunking story convinced me to do my own personal test of this by going to the website listed in the report and buying the information to build my own Water Hybrid.
I'll post back when I finish with my own results.

TRANSCRIPT:
JOHN MCCAIN: "Well, I think it's important to note that John, Reverend, Pastor John Hagee who has supported and endorsed my candidacy, supports what I stand for and believe in. When he endorses me, it does not mean that I embrace everything that he stands for and believes in. And I am very proud of Pastor John Hagee's spiritual leadership to thousands of people.

"I am proud of his commitment to the independence and freedom for the state of Israel. That does not mean that I support or endorse or agree with some of the things that Pastor John Hagee may have said or positions that he may have taken on other issues. I don't have to agree with everyone who endorses my candidacy or has supported my candidacy, I am not endorsing some of their positions."

The Tao of Sam - OUTTAKE!

2008-08-22T02:47:54Z

HELP! -- I'm a friend of Michael's, and he said he had to "go away" for the weekend. He asked me to login into Sam's YouTube account periodically to check messages etc. However, I accidentally found this video clip in his recycle bin, apparently from a recent Sam vlog about his so-called philosophy of life!... ha!

Well, I finally have proof of abuse by Sam Harris! You think Bill O'Reilly is bad! You think your little Star Search-Broadway - Recording Artist - TV Mr. All American golden boy is all sweet and friendly?... think again! Now I know why Michael had to sit on an old man butt donut for a week, and those peculiar crescent shaped marks were all over his arms that matched Sam's boot heels. And why Michael doesn't ever turn his back to Sam when leaving a room. I thought it was out of reverence. WRONG! It's for security!!!

Enough is enough Mr. Harris... your true colors are shining through alright!

Now, if anyone has seen Michael, please let me know. It's been a couple days, and I fear the worst. His work conditions were worse than a Kathy Lee Gifford sweatshop!! You wonder why he's never on camera... well, there's never a time without a welt on his face or a black eye. He even had to type with his teeth after breaking two of his fingers "accidentally" in a door.

I'm doing "something wonderful for somebody"! I'm showing this to the world!!!

This is his so-called "Philosophy of Life" bullshit!...

Deborah Jean Palfrey was convicted of running a high-profile escort service for Washington's elite and faced a sentencing this summer. But she was found hanged Thursday at her mother's home and investigators said they have no doubt it was a suicide.

Palfrey's building manager said she often told him she believed she was being followed and he thinks there may have been some former clients of her escort service who wanted her dead.

"She insinuated that there is a contract out for her and I fully believe they succeeded," her building manager said.
