Sunday, September 7th, 2008Hey! I didn’t say BABYDADDY. Oop, there it is…
Why do McCain campaigns always have black baby rumours attached to them? If you haven’t seen it, check out the video at left, in which a young man named Kevin claims to be Bristol Palin’s baby’s father (please note my professional restraint in avoiding the term “babydaddy”). In spite of the fact that this may very well be a hoax, it’s worth watching for several reasons: 1.) Unmitigated tabloid entertainment value. 2.) An audition tape. If this guy’s lying, he deserves a shot at a real acting career. 3.) It’s Sunday morning, and Meet The Press sucks since Tim Russert passed away. 4.) I’m violating my unwritten policy of not using the word “Palin” unless referring to Michael, so you could at least have the decency to watch things I recommend. 5.) The dude says he’s voting for Obama.

In case you’ve forgotten, these are the
two viable candidates this year. There are
others, but they can’t get face time on Fox, so who gives a crap, right mate?

If the corporate media doesn’t eventually STFU (that link’s NSFW, BTW) about John McCain’s pick for VP, and if enough Americans once again line up like lemmings to vote for the person with whom they’d be most comfortable having a barbeque at the trailer park, some of us may want to be seeking citizenship elsewhere. Fortunately, there are lots of resources on the web. Even a fluff site like AskMen.com offers up a piece called Fine Living Top 10: Dual-Citizenship Countries. Apparently though, things aren’t as simple as the old Jus soli and Jus sanguinis. For instance, head over to extrapassport.com, where they advise: “Before you PAY anybody to provide you with a new citizenship, check if the procedure described by your provider is listed in our Handbook”. Which ironically costs USD $63.99. But wait, they have better deals; for a mere USD24.95 you can download the Estonia Residency & Citizenship Handbook. Barring a major Russian offensive, Estonia is apparently shaping up to be quite a nice new member of the EU. If you don’t feel like giving your credit card number to strange web sites that probably operate on former U.K. gunnery posts in the Atlantic, check out MultipleCitizenship.com’s Citizenship Laws of the World, which was prepared by the US government Office of Personnel Management in 2001, which I guess was the last time a bunch of us were suddenly thinking of renouncing our citizenship. Lastly, if you’re hemmorrhaging cash, why not buy an island ? As an example, this little baby (8 acres) is only CAD $250,000…

Monday, September 1st, 2008Does John McCain Need A Bitch-Slap?
Well, not all of them. Somehow, I don’t think the typical female voter in this country is falling too hard for this Sarah Palin thing. In fact, it’s such an utterly transparent move that I’m convinced that it was a short-term media ploy to recapture the press cycle after Obama’s speech, and that there’s going to be a scandal or two, she’ll be discredited, and the McCain campaign will make their final choice later, when it all benefits the campaign. Or maybe McCain is really just not so bright, and forgets there are other ways to destroy your opponent’s campaign. But then, I sometimes have trouble getting my mind around conservative American values. I mean, do Republican women really prefer PINK Women For McCain Mugs, and buttons with frilly patterns on them? Or is that just more luddite McCain campaign thinking? Ironically, their African Americans For McCain (don’t laugh, I know a few personally) buttons are white, and their Arab Americans For McCain buttons are black.

Oh, make up your own punchline. Do we really care what a bunch of narcissistic Democrats have to say to each other when they get together every four years? If so, here’s a good source. Personally, I’m more interested in things like ABC News making a big fuss about the sex trade spiking in towns when political conventions arrive. They’ve obviously never heard the one about the Senator telling the intern to leave him alone, “…because he had a hundred pages to get through before lunch…”. In any case, although advocacy groups (no, they’re not for it, they’re against it) agree with ABC’s assessment, cops in both cities say not likely. And they should know, because they’re the ones hanging out in parks where all the real tricks are getting turned. Like the former co-chair of John McCain’s presidential campaign in Florida, Bob Allen, who like the cops, is often busy denying things. No, the real fun for politicians at convention time is in skirting ethics laws that might prevent them from having awesome parties, or in whoring THEMSELVES out to special interest lobbies like the RIAA or ATT.

Do We Really Need This In Hi-Def?

If you don’t have cable TV but for some ungodly reason you still feel like watching the Academy Awards of Politics (often otherwise referred to as the Democratic National Convention), you can now do so in HD, right on your computer. That is, if you feel like seeing Ted Kennedy’s bloated head rendered in high-definition, and you feel like installing the Microsoft Silverlight Plugin, and you feel like installing the Move Media Player, then you’re all set. If you have better things to do, like maybe learning more about what Vice-President Joe is about, you might want to check out Mashable.com’s 9 Web Tools For Learning About Joe Biden, which has links to everything Joe . Except their link to OnTheIssues.org, which is bunged. Here’s the proper link to his OnTheIssues.org page.
