McCain, the retired military "analysts" and the Myth

of Al Qaeda in Iraq. McCain talks about Al Qaeda in Iraq taking over if the US leaves...he doesn't seem to realize that the US presided over the ascension to power in Iraq, of pro-Iranian Shiite parties. There is a danger that pro-Iranian Shiites will take over? They are already IN power. Or Al Qaeda will take over? They cannot coexist.

Olbermann's Special Comment - Clinton is Using the Race Card

In his first "anti-Democrat" Special Comment, Keith Olbermann slams the Clinton Campaign for using the good ol' southern strategy, campaigning like a Republican, and its unwillingness to take responsibility for its own racially charged and insensitive remarks.My comment: This whole disgusting episode has tanked the possibility of ANY type of Obama/Clinton or Clinton/Obama ticket. Hillary, you are NOT as smart as you would have us believe. I resisted the ideas that you were in it solely to win for yourself out of some hellbent for leather twisted ego need, but now it has become too clear that THIS is really what you're all about. Now you have actually threatened Dem chances in the Fall by being so incredibly divisive. In a two words: you SUCK. Now, just go away.

Psychosphere: Where Facts are Crazier

Got this from a friend this morning. Thought I'd pass along. Hang on to your hats everybody and buckle your seat belts (Oh, but don't DRIVE anywhere unless you absolutely HAVE to. Fasten your seatbelts anyway though.....).

Hello to the Horde,

Please see attachment- best cartoon to explain the problem I have seen.. please must see…..halarious if it wasn’t so serious….

Economy:

As we come to the first quarter of 2008, we see economic calamities. But “psychophere “ readers are not among those who were caught unaware. Now that the collapse or recession is underway we see inflation rising. What the f**k does that mean dre??? That means we will all get poorer, everything will cost more, every commodity will increase, but not your well earned wages. NO gang, we will pay for this fiasco with inflation, the hidden tax!!!! Thanks uncle bush….your sure are swell. Commodities like wheat, pork bellies, gold, silver, cooper, lumber, agriculture, etc… will increase for two main reasons. One price of fuel is the foundation of commodity prices, so if fuel cost go up, everything fucking goes up… This is happening for number of reasons, Iraq war or other middle east geopolitical reasons, increased demand, no increase in output, and last but not least the erosion of the dollar. And two, as the dollar weakens it cost more dollars to buy the same amount of anything. Bang!!!inflation…get it. You have a spread in two directions. The stock market is taking the beating we spoke of in the last edition, no surprises. The derivatives market looks ripe to break. We all know how the housing thing is going, glad we didn’t listen to the MSM analyst, “soft landing” my ass. The dollar will continue to slide, by the end of the year 2 dollar per euro. Fuel will reach 135 dollars a barrel, and housing prices will plummet by another 15-20 percent. But hey, its all for freedom, right? Where fighting to free the world by giving them our freedoms right?…..that’s normal right? For the cost of this war we could have avoided all of this financial mess, secured social security, had free college education, and free medical. Gotta love the fight against those dam terrorist, you know the ones that only exists in Disneyworld, or the world we are supposed to believe in. And if you don’t, we got a room for ya in Gitmo, its called the water boarding room. Where you will do and say anything to make you believe in Disneyland again….… I love this brave new world…..

Sssso, for all you soon to be home owners, get ready for some good pickens at the end of 2009. Stay away 2008, unless you have a deal to steal…

The Apple doesn't fall far from the Bush...

Remember George H.W. Bush's famous trip to the supermarket to get a taste of life for the little people? No wonder the Chimp in Charge is mind boggled to learn the price of gas.....

Movie Review: 10,000 B.C.

10,000 B.C. could easily be: 10,000 Boring Characters

Cheesey, hokey, awful!

Ridiculous accents, preposterous epochs/civilizations mixed together. Snail's paced and an obvious low budget rip off of Apocalypto (which was a great film).

I couldn't care less if boy got girl, if the Old Mother kicked the bucket or if they did or did not score a woolly mammoth for dinner. Forgettable characters, embarrassingly stupid plot.

Don't waste your money and PLEASE if you can't resist going, don't bring the kids; they might think this is possibly true human history. Ugh!
