BLOGGING FOR OBAMA
I was jes’ wondering’ - Should Scarlet Johansson's e-mails to Obama be called "Scarlet Letters"?
Barack Obama met privately with black ministers in Chicago last week. The talks were wide-ranging. They had a long discussion over whether it's more damaging for Americans to hear his pastor's latest sermon or for people to think he's a Muslim. 
Someone seems to be working overtime to vet VP possible Charlie Crist as a macho straight man. 
He even has a girlfriend - Carol Rome, a 38-year-old business woman who has been quietly dating Crist since September, stepped farther into the spotlight when she accompanied her boyfriend to Republican John McCain's Arizona ranch Memorial Day weekend.
Mike Rogers writes:
The rumors about Florida Gov. Charlie Crist and the Green Iguana just wouldn't go away. The story goes that the Florida governor frequented the Green Iguana, a bar in Tampa, back in the early 1990s when he was just starting his political career. He was less careful back then, people say, and during his partying at the Green Iguana, he was openly gay.
When I got Rick Calderoni, the bar's well-known owner, on the phone, I expected him to stonewall me about it.
He didn't.
Calderoni, who is gay, confirmed that Crist came into his bar quite often and that the two of them became friends.
Getting to the point, I asked him if he knew Crist to be gay.
"Yes," he answered bluntly. "I just wish he would come out and admit it. That would be a great thing if he did."

Here’s my NUMBER ONE reason for voting against John McCain: He’s fucking UN-American!
Waylon Arnold Jennings (June 15, 1937 – February 13, 2002) would be 71.
He was an influential American country music singer and musician. A self-taught guitar player, he rose to prominence as a bass player for Buddy Holly following the break-up of The Crickets. He escaped death in the February 3, 1959 plane crash that took the lives of Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and J. P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson when he gave up his seat to the latter. After a brief performing and recording career in Phoenix, Arizona he moved to Nashville, Tennessee, where he did not fit in with the tightly organized music industry in that city.
Jennings was aware of the fact that rock bands had almost unprecedented creative freedom to record what they wanted to record, with or without a producer and even to design their album covers. He wanted similar freedom for himself—an unprecedented move in 1972 Nashville. He become associated with so-called "outlaws," an informal group of musicians who worked outside of the Nashville corporate scene. His career soared. He recorded duet albums with his close friend Willie Nelson and his wife Jessi Colter. In 1969 he won CMA Country Entertainer of the Year, but did not attend the event. When he was inducted into the CMA all of Fame, he snubbed the organization again. He died from complications due to diabetes in 2002.
Tim Russert (58) host of NBC's Meet the Press since 1991 and its Washington bureau chief. Russert made a TV career of his passion for politics with unrelenting questioning of the powerful and influential on the Sunday talk show, which he turned into the most widely watched program of its type in the country. This year, Time magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world. He died suddenly and unexpectedly of a heart attack in Washington, DC on June 13, 2008. Life In Legacy
Russert first gained national attention by stumping David Duke, a Louisiana gubernatorial candidate. He baited Duke with a question suggesting Duke’s campaign was focused on race. Duke replied that he was focused on improving the economy in Louisiana. Russert fired back asking the nut job ex-Klansman to name the state's three biggest employers. Duke was at a loss - because he WAS focused on racial issues only.
Stewart R. Mott (70) General Motors heir and self-described "avant-garde philanthropist" whose gifts to progressive and sometimes offbeat causes were often upstaged by his eccentricities, like cultivating a farm with 460 plant species (including 17 types of radishes), a chicken coop, and a compost pile atop his Manhattan penthouse. Mott used his family's fortune to underwrite progressive social causes and liberal political campaigns. He died of cancer in Mount Kisco, New York on June 12, 2008. Life In Legacy
“The arrogance displayed by the evolutionist class is totally unwarrented. The facts warrent the violent expulsion of all evolutionists from civilized society. I am quite serious that their danger to society is so great that, in a sane society, they would be, at a minimum, denied a vote in the administration of the society, as well as any job where they might influence immature humans, e.g., scout, or youth, leader, teacher and, obviously, professor…” [Tom Willis, The Creation Science Association for Mid-America]

RANT, REV - RANT!!
What does the next president of the US have in mind to get us over this gasoline price crisis? NEITHER presidential candidate has dared to broach the subject of offshore drilling - which would impact the global market and drive down crude prices in the near term - due to the influence of the “Green Mafia’s” domination of discussion in the MSM. We can never be energy self-sufficient until we drill everywhere there are reserves. The reserves in ANWR can be exploited without damaging the ecology. The caribou can walk around an oil derrick.
America's oil shale reserves are enormous, totaling at least 1.5 trillion barrels of oil. That's five times the reserves of Saudi Arabia! And yet, no one is producing commercial quantities of oil from these vast deposits. All that oil is still sitting right where Nature left it, buried under the vast landscapes of Colorado and Wyoming.
We are sitting on an energy bounty that is simply too large to ignore any longer, assuming that the reserves are economically viable. We MUST exploit reserves, build modern refineries and construct safe, clean, economical nuclear generating plants across this country.
AGAIN - NEITHER the Democratic nor Republican candidate has addressed our shortfall in energy production!
Comedian Argus Hamilton
House Democrats blocked a GOP proposal to allow offshore oil drilling off the coast of South Florida. This could solve all our problems. After sixty years of struggle we'd finally have oil that was surrounded by Jews instead of Arabs.
The Gallup Poll out Tuesday showed almost sixty percent of Americans now favor offshore oil drilling and oil drilling in Alaska's wildlife refuge. In just one week, four dollar per gallon gasoline undid thirty years of environmental indoctrination. Across the country today, grade-schoolers are writing essays titled, It's Just a Moose.
The White House admitted that with six months left, administration officials are leaving in droves to find new jobs. It's a tough sell. They all face the exact same challenge, convincing prospective employers that they are stupid, not evil. 
The Senate Intelligence Committee released a report last week saying the White House lied the nation into war with Iraq. No one's going to jail. The war was wrongly threatened and wrongly declared and wrongly waged, but it's better than no war at all.

The New York Daily News revealed Roger Clemens regularly took Viagra to enhance his pitching performance. It's obvious looking back at the game tapes. Every other pitcher talking to the catcher uses the baseball glove to cover his mouth.

Three boys are in the school yard bragging about their fathers. The first boy says, "My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a poem, they give him $50."
The second boy says, "That's nothing. My Dad scribbles a few words on piece of paper, he calls it a song, they give him $100."
The third boy says, "I got you both beat. My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a sermon, and it takes eight people to collect all the money!"

A man calls his mother in Florida. "Mom, how are you?"
"Not too good," says the mother. "I've been very weak."
The son says, "Why are you so weak?"
She says, "Because I haven't eaten in 38 days."
The man says, "That's terrible. Why haven't you eaten in 38 days?
The mother answers, "Because I didn't want my mouth to be full of food just in case you should call."

Tony replies, "A nice bowl of linguini with clam sauce." He's fed his last meal, then duly executed.
Next, it's Pierre's turn. "I'd like a nice, hot bowl of bouillabaisse," which he is given, the duly executed.
Moishe thinks about it for a minute then says, "I'd like a nice plate of fresh strawberries."
"Strawberries?" asks the warden. "They're out of season now."

A small town had three shuls - Orthodox, Conservative and Reform. All three had a serious problem with squirrels in their buildings. Each congregation, in its own fashion, had a meeting to deal with the problem.
The Orthodox decided that it was predestined that squirrels be in the shul and that they would just have to live with them.
The Conservatives decided they should deal with the squirrels in the movement's style of Community Responsibility & Social Action. They humanely trapped them and released them in a park at the edge of town.
( Within three days, they were all back in the synagogue.)
The Reform Synagogue had several lengthy meetings, including those in which all members voiced opinions. Finally they decided to vote the squirrels in as members of the Temple.
Now they only see them on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
