"If by a “Liberal” they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people — their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties — someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a “Liberal,” then I’m proud to say I’m a “Liberal.” ~ John F. Kennedy, 1960

THIS PICTURE TOTALLY NEEDS A CAPTION! So, what do you think? Got a good one?

Wow! And to think he’s a Johnny McTeleprompter supporter!
As pointed out by commenters on this thread over on Think Progress, Cindy McCain’s beer company may be teaming up with a beer company down in Cuba. Does Johnny know his wife is making deals with the Commies? Oh boy. Cue the heart attack medicine!!!! Ole Johnny could be meeting his Maker anytime now! Well, unless he already knew this and just talks out of his ass when the camera is on to impress the knuckle draggers of America? Could be.
You can read more about the McCains making beer deals with the Cubans, HERE and HERE. Have fun!
John McCain recently approved an ad that shows Britney Spears and Paris Hilton reflecting who Barack Obama is: A CELEBRITY. Of course, in Johnny’s mind, he thought this ad would turn off voters. He was banking on the right wingers of America (who can’t stand those “liberal” celebrities out there in California and around this country) would go batshit crazy with disgust at Barack being a celebrity. Nope. It backfired on ole Johnny McTeleprompter. Hell, it even turned off quite a few right wingers who thought the ad made ole Johnny look like a jealous old man of his very young and hip opponent.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, how sad for Johnny. He looks stupid again.
Anyways…
I got to thinking today…WHICH CELEBRITIES PAST & PRESENT WOULD BEST REFLECT JOHN MCCAIN IF WE WERE TO DO A SIMILAR AD?
We all know the biggest celebrity to best reflect ole Johnny would be George Bush, because the two have had a drinking problem, both believe Georgie’s policies are wonderful, both are liars, and neither one of the can get the countries of Germany & Russia straight nor can they find them on a map…

Charlie Chaplin comes to mind as a good representation of who Johnny is and it might have something to do with The Tramp, his love life, and his other move, The Great Dictator (Chaplin played the Hitler-like role) and how ole Charlie needs a cane to walk…
(pic)
And then there’s Nick Nolte, who like Johnny McTeleprompter, always seems to have an excuse as to why he does & says the things he does and always looks like he spends his days banging rocks together and screaming at trees in the park…
(pic)
Oh yeah, and we can’t forget about Strom Thurmond. He represents the old, out-of-touch, and scary side of Johnny McTeleprompter with an actual teleprompter, of course, ole Strommy didn’t show up to work the last year of his time in the Senate and we can expect the same from Johnny except it will be in blocks of 3 hours each day if Johnny gets in the White House (that is if he can make it up the front stairs)…

WHAT OTHER CELEBRITIES PAST & PRESENT REFLECTS WHO JOHNNY IS?

Wow. If that isn’t an indication of what she’ll do with YOUR money, nothing is!
The Maine Democratic Party issued this statement with links:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: TUESDAY, JULY 29, 2008
CONTACT: REBECCA POLLARD, 772-4353
Alaska Republican Contributes $20,000 to Collins; Collins Contributes $5,000 to Stevens
(PORTLAND) – Alaska Republican Ted Stevens, now under indictment on seven federal charges concerning business deals in his home state, has invested heavily in Maine Senator Susan Collins. And she’s returned the favor.
FEC records show that Senator Stevens, a 40-year member of the Senate and the longest-serving Republican, contributed $10,000 to Collins in 2002 and again this election cycle. And Collins contributed $5,000 to Stevens this cycle.

http://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/pacgot.php?cmte=C00391797&cycle=2008
“Susan Collins should send Senator Stevens’ $20,000 right back to him,” said Rebecca Pollard, communications director for the Maine Democratic Party. “And she should tell Mainers why she continues to support Washington’s culture of corruption exemplified by Ted Stevens.”

And not only this, but it appears another one of her best buddies, Trent Lott, has been accused of urging witnesses in Katrina lawsuits to give false statements. Holy cow! Is there anyone connected to Sen. Susan Collins who is not a criminal? Doesn’t appear so! Oh but Suzie-Q…
….WANTS YOU THINK SHE’S A MODERATE WHO ISN’T INTERESTED IN GEORGE BUSH’S POLICIES or his friends (remember how Georgie couldn’t wait to have a beer with Trent Lott on his Katrina damaged porch after it was fixed?), nor does she want you to know, SHE’S ALSO PART OF JOHN MCCAIN’S CAMPAIGN, but has now decided to not attend the Republican Convention, because by not going, she’s giving the impression she’s NOT A JACKBOOT LICKER TO GEORGIE & JOHNNY! Oh how she continues to lie & deceive Mainers!
(pic)
Sen. Susan Collins is connected to a lot of scum in Washington, DC and this is why she’s running for her 3rd term. She told Mainers she’s running again because she likes the power she has as Chair or Co-Chair of the oversight committees she’s on. Uh huh. She loves being able to cover up the crimes of George Bush and his friends and this is why she is best, best, best friends with Joe Lieberman!

What an asshole. Can we kick her out in November please? Thank you.
You just knew it was gonna happen! When you love the republican party and your party has nothing to run on this year because it’s full of right wing warmongering liars that most Americans can’t stand, you have to resort to terror-alerts to keep the nation scared, because that has been your most successful MO for years!
ABC News says we are nearing “heightened alert stage”…
Anti-terror officials in the U.S. cite this summer and fall’s lineup of two major political parties’ conventions, November’s general election and months of transition into a new presidential administration as cause for heightened awareness and action.
This is what the Department of Homeland Security is quietly declaring a Period of Heightened Alert, or POHA, a time frame when terrorists may have more incentive to attack.
And Fox News’ MacCallum says the terrorists “want to impress”…
MACCALLUM: Right, they want to impress (INAUDIBLE).
WEBER: They want to impress, exactly.
MACCALLUM: . small high-value kind of targets, right?
WEBER: Absolutely. So, those are the ones, frankly, that I’m more worried about. Those are the ones who, you know, they may already be folks here in the United States who have access to our critical infrastructure. Look at the JFK Airport plot that was thwarted. These were individuals who had access to secure areas and sensitive areas at JFK.
So, that you really need to make sure that the public and the private work together in a meaningful way so that the public sector, in essence — I’m sorry, the private sector, in essence becomes a force multiplier for the federal government, for the state and locals. And that’s the way really to try and shore up and hardened our facilities the way we need to.
I’ve got an idea that will impress the country and make us safer. GET RID OF THE NEOCONS OF THE REPUBLIC PARTY and send them all to Saudi Arabia! Yeah, yeah, that way the terrorists can just kill each other there! I feel safer already just thinking about it!
Sounds good to me.
I will not fall for this bullshit anymore. If there’s an attack on our country I’m blaming the Bush Regime whether it happens before the November election or after it.
…of course I was ecstatic to find out today Sen. Ted Stevens was indicted! Woohoo! Poor Teddy. And he thought the Internet tubes would forget about him. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Bon voyage, Teddy! We don’t care if you’re older than the hills either. You’ve been going to work in the Senate for 50 years, so saying as part of your defense that you’re too old to go to prison won’t be happening now. Bah hahahahahahaha! Loving it.
Anyways, I have ONE flower to share with you tonight. Yep, just one. Two months ago I put a bunch of bulbs in the ground with some yummy manure soil, said a little garden prayer, and have now been waiting that whole time for one of the flowers to pop out. (Besides some lilies, I also planted some Oriental Daffodils and some Dahlias.) All I’ve seen is green in this garden, but tonight I came home and found this lily, and I gotta tell ya….I felt like I had given birth to it! I was that excited!!! Here’s my new daughter…
Isn’t she gorgeous! Would you just look at her! Wow. I’m very proud. I need to get some life insurance for her and a nice blanket.
Okay…
Don’t even get me started on the Dahlias which have grown to a height of at least 3 feet, but haven’t produced anything…and definately don’t get me started on the Oriental Daffodils either. The OD’s I’m thinking have indeed OD’d on something. Oh, they’re growing, don’t get me wrong, but they’re nothing but a bunch of green “shoe horns” at this point and I’m getting impatient! What the hell! Do something for crying out loud!!!
*ahem*
Guess what happened to me 15 minutes ago? I had to go to Wal-Mart tonight to pick up a few things for the workday tomorrow and after I was done, I went to start the car….and it wouldn’t start. Car was dead. I sat there thinking, “Well, it does have 156,000 miles on it, but dead? Can’t be”. LOL I always have jumper cables in the trunk, so I ask this guy, who is parked two slots from me, if I could use his battery to jump start my car. He says to me, “I’m on crutches, sorry”. (Nice guy. *rolling eyes* I should write home to Mom about him! Spit.) A few seconds later a guy pulls into the slot to the right of my car (there’s a huge truck on the other side with no one in it). I asked him the same thing and he said, “Sure!”. He pulls his car close to mine and we realize instantly our batteries are on the outside and my jumper cables won’t reach. Dammit. Just then he says, “Hey wait, your car is a standard.” My eyes lit up and the next thing I know, he’s pushing my car out of the parking spot and then he gets behind my car and starts pushing me forward (into shopper who are leaving Wal-Mart, of course), I pop the clutch, and……tah dah!…car is started and is now alive. Well…
NOTE TO SELF: Buy new car battery tomorrow for the 1st time in the 156,000-mile-life of my car. Car is going to be happy.  And I will too, because I’m not sure I like the idea of rolling & popping the clutch every time I’m in it. I don’t even have the patience with my bulbs, let alone, clutch-popping at this point! 
Want to hear how my Sunday went this week? Actually, for me it wasn’t that much of a big deal, but for one of my customer’s teenage son, it was the pits.
A couple months ago, one of my most favorite cleaning customer’s said to me, “Come here. I need you to answer something for me”. I followed her into the livingroom of her house and she said, “I’m redoing the livingroom, do you want any of this furniture…including the television armoire. You can have anything you want”. I said, “Are you serious! Wow. Yeah, I’ll take the 2 couches and the armoire”. Famous last words.
My customer is an interior designer and also owns a high-end furniture/interior design store. The stuff in there is unbelievably high priced, but the area in the state where her store is, well, let’s just say the prices are a bargain. She once gave me a candle that is 7 inches high, enclosed in a opaque glass “flower”, it’s very fragrant, and the price tag on it was $95.00. Good gawd.
Anyways…
Saturday I get a call from her son Harrison (I’ve talked about him before on my blog…great kid…bratty…but great) and he wants to know when is a good time on Sunday to deliver the furniture to my house (her new furniture has now come in that she ordered). We agreed on noontime. Well, my Dad shows up to take back his couch that he lent us when we moved in here last year. Not only that, we took part of the back deck apart to find out where the water is leaking in. We ended up sealing the space between house and the deck and then I realized it was getting close to 1pm. I figured he had gotten lost, so I call Harrison on his cell to see if everything was okay. He tells me that they’re still doing the furniture swap at his house and will be leaving in another hour or two. No big deal. My father leaves.
Around 4pm I get a call from Harrison saying that he’s on his way. I’m excited and I call my Dad to tell him to come back up so we can be here to help him move the stuff. Dad arrives and then a half hour later I get another call from Harrison saying he’s going back to the furniture store to pick up the Dolley. I said to my father, “Well, Harrison is going to be a little later than expected Dad, you don’t have to stay if you don’t want to”. Of course, my Dad stays.
Then…
I get another call from Harrison saying he’s on the side of the road and there’s oil (or something) spewing all over the place, the truck is hot, and he doesn’t know what to do! All this kid can think of is my feelings, because he knows how excited I’ve been about the new furniture. Of course I said to him, “Are you kidding me? Stop worrying about me! Do you want me to come get you and take you home?”.
To make this very long story short….my father ends up going to meet up with Harrison and waits with him until his parents arrive. So sweet. And my furniture didn’t get delivered. No big deal. But!
It got delivered on Monday instead. Yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Before you see the pictures of my new furniture, will you please give Harrison a cyberhug? I’m telling you….that kid had the worst day of his short life, but he managed to keep his head on straight, and as usual, was more concerned about others than he was himself. He’s a great kid, so if you have an extra cyberhug, cookies, kisses, or some expensive wine to give him, please do! (Why do I feel the ghouls of the Internet right now? LOL)
Okay! Here’s my new couches (and coffee table they threw in for us! And there’s Jasper, of course):
And good gawd, look at the size of this freaking television armoire! It’s like 2 inches from the ceiling!….
Holy cow. My ceiling is now scratched because of trying to stand this thing upright, but I don’t care, because I absolutely love this piece of furniture. It was originally meant for my bedroom, but the armoire is so huge it couldn’t make the corner into it. So there she’s sits now in my livingroom facing a wall. LOL Maybe I can make it into a storage closet? Maybe. It’s beautiful though. I can’t stop looking at it.
This is just 2 days in my life. How was your last two days? LOL
(Carol & John McCain in 1973 after he returned from Vietnam)
How the hell does he know that his skin cancer was the result of his time as a POW and why did he say this back in 2000…
From (emphasis mine) CNN.com:
When asked on August 8 about the bandage, McCain said, “As part of my misspent youth I spent too much time in the sun and every few months I have to go and have some basal cell removed from my own craggy features.”
Huh? I thought it was from his time as a POW? Oh boy. He was 31 years old when he went to Vietnam and my, my, my, doesn’t he look a little pale in the picture above and doesn’t he look kind of healthy?
If his skin cancer did come from his “misspent youth” then I’m thinking he got it from the days when he was whoring around, drinking, and probably doing it all on the beach in broad daylight before he went to Vietnam! Hey, could be.
Here’s what one of his doctors said in 1999 (from the same article linked above…emphasis mine):
Dr. Michael Ambrose, a Navy physician from the Mitchell Center for Prisoner of War Studies in California — where McCain made annual visits between 1973 and 1993 — said in a December 1999 statement made available by the McCain campaign that the type of cancer McCain suffered in 1993 usually is due to sun exposure from years ago. Ambrose said McCain and other prisoners of war were kept in the Vietnamese sun for long periods, although it is impossible pinpoint the source of the cancer.
He was in solitary confinement for a total of 2 of the 5 years he was a POW. I highly doubt skin cancer can lay dormant in the body for decades before it surfaces. Seems kind of strange that it would considering a guy I knew in high school moved to Florida with his family and out of the five….three came back to Maine with some kind of skin cancer and they weren’t in Florida more than 10 years. But Johnny went close to 2 decades after leaving Vietnam before his skin cancer surfaced? Sorry, but I’m not buying that.
I bet Johnny got his skin cancer during the Reagan years when all the Fat Cat Monopoly Banker Types (Reagan Crazies) were golfing everyday while screwing the nation over? Now that seems more like it.
What do you think? Think Johnny is using his time as a POW again to get sympathy & points with Americans or do you think he’s just a lying sack of crap who doesn’t want anyone to know he’s lived a privileged life despite being a POW and most likely got his skin cancer from this privileged life?
Wow! The world is full of wingnuts and this guy is exactly the same type of neocon troll who comes to my blog! Yep. Nothing but a neck drooling, knuckledragging, moron who worships George Bush, the republic party, and blames everything on the liberals, when in actuality, he lost his freaking job because of George Bush’s economy!
Oh, but you can’t convince the wingnuts of this. Nope. They live in this little tiny bubble coated in pond scum that they find nice and dandy, but yet, think they’re the victims in our society. Well, guess what asshole? OUR NATION IS AND HAS BEEN VICTIMIZED BY YOU NEOCON ASSHOLES WHO THINK YOUR PRESIDENT TORTURING PEOPLE ILLEGALLY IS JUST FUN AND GAMES, WHO THINK SPYING ON AMERICANS ILLEGALLY IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO, AND STARTING FAKE WARS WITH COUNTRIES TO STEAL THEIR OIL….IS FINE AS LONG AS YOU DON’T HAVE TO GO TO IRAQ, ISN’T THAT RIGHT ASSHOLES?
Our nation could do without you now.
Maybe next time….instead of killing people inside a liberal church because you lost your job, why don’t you turn that gun around and kill the real asshole………WHICH IS YOU!
Make sure you study this photo, people. This is the kind of freak who lives in our nation, who worships George Bush, and who has no problem gunning down people who don’t agree with his wacked views. Okay? Study it hard. When you come across a guy like this cuckoo-crazy-man and you notice he has a “W-04″ bumper sticker on back of his vehicle and a yellow ribbon magnet stating they support the troops, give the person the middle finger. Or call the police. It’s your call. Just remember…these are the assholes of our country who are no different than the terrorists, see? Freaks they are and they don’t see the ridiculousness or absurdity of saying, “Well, I had to kill these liberals because I lost my job” or better yet, “I had to kill these liberals because they don’t worship George Bush like I do. George Bush is a good man!”.
Dumbass freaks. Hey, how about not voting against your best interests, Dumbasses, meaning, you constantly vote republican because you think it will make you a millionaire, or appear tougher than you are, or because you think it will make you appear more patriotic. I think you don’t because you’re too lazy to take control of your life and would rather remain miserable and blame the liberals who are working hard across this country to make Unions strong, who are advocating for the poor to make sure you have something to eat, a roof over your head, and access to medical care, and they’re working hard to make sure the middle class doesn’t end up non-existent!
Keep voting against your best interests, Dumbasses. Stooooooooooooooopid.
Our nation would be a lot safer if the neocon knuckledraggers left the country and went to live in Saudi Arabia or Uzbekistan. They’d fit right in. Spit.
Well, no shit. And just when we thought one of the Oil Maggots may have had a change of heart, T. Boone Pickens comes along to tell us about wind energy, but the fact is, he’s basically the guy who will profit the most with his idea if it’s grabbed by the US government! Oh yes. Profits, profits, profits is all the right wing Oil Maggots care about. They don’t care if there is rusted windmills in America at some point….just as long as they make their initial huge profits. See? They act like they’re helping when really they’re not. Just helping themselves again at the expense of poor & middle class Americans…
(cartoon)
Twenty eight people died and ninety two people were injured in Baghdad today because of suicide bombers. I’m sure Johnny McTeleprompter will tell Americans now…
“Well, my friends, the average death rate in suicide bombers in Iraq is 42, so this bombing is well below the normal rate since it was 28, so that means the surge is working! We’re winning over there!”.
I bet he would also say…
“Well, my friends, Turkey is now getting bombed so that means eventually all the bombings will be outside of Iraq and Iraq will be as safe as your hometown here in America!”.
Spit.
How do we win an illegal occupation, Johnny? Put yourself in the shoes of the Iraqis and think for a second what it would be like if Iraq had invaded our country and were currently occupying it. Wouldn’t we yell at the Iraqis, “Leave our country! We are sick of you!!!!!”, and when they did we would just stand to the side of the road to let them go? Yep. They want us to leave, Johnny, so no matter what you say or do or what plan you come up with, the Iraqis wanted us to leave yesterday!

Spits of rage…
