Sure, But Can Obama Sing?
It’s been nearly six years since “McCain Sings Streisand” was first seen and heard, but it still serves as a good reminder of the hidden talents of GOP nominee:

It’s been nearly six years since “McCain Sings Streisand” was first seen and heard, but it still serves as a good reminder of the hidden talents of GOP nominee:
Concerning the “financial crisis,” fear not, because “congressional leaders will work through weekend on bold plan to end crisis.” Yeah, good idea — let Congress fix it. They know how to handle money.
Geez. The next thing you know I’m going to find out our school district has a “bold plan” to make Lindsay Lohan a [...]
The political left loves to tout their candidate’s open-minded “willingness to learn about all sides of an issue” — which of course can explain why the person in question might be reading something he doesn’t personally agree with. This is true. For example, I’ve read Das Kapital, but that doesn’t make me a communist — [...]
A University of Illinois student group is going to pay John Edwards $65,000 to speak on campus this fall. Sure, they may not want to anymore, but they pretty much have to:
The Illini Union Board, which arranges lectures, concerts and other events for students, signed a contract with Edwards before he admitted this month to [...]
Why am I thinking that this might not end well? Cuba is working on a space program with Russia:
Moscow is ready to help Cuba develop its own space center, Russia’s space agency chief said on Wednesday after talks in Caracas with Venezuelan and Cuban officials, Itar-Tass news agency reported.
Russia had to step in and help [...]
…was William F. Buckley rolling over in his grave.
I’m going to address this subject briefly because it’s a common opinion, and certainly not isolated to objectivists.
Nicholas Provenzo is an “objectivist” and writer for the Center for the Advancement of Capitalism. Here’s his take on Trig Palin in which he unwittingly announces the creation of the “Center for the Advancement of Making Capitalist/Objectivists Look [...]
Many are trumpeting Carly Fiorina’s latest statement as a case of a Republican attacking one of their own, but it’s actually an off-handed compliment:
Former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, a co-chair of the McCain presidential campaign and a chief economic surrogate for the GOP presidential candidate, said in a radio interview this morning that Sarah [...]
I’m writing this post in the knowledge that the subject matter is of a sensitive nature — at least I believe it to be. I’ve lost a daughter so I don’t like to speak of somebody else who lost a daughter in a flippant or disrespectful manner concerning anything that is essentially in reference to [...]
You have to like the measures the Chicago Sun Times took this morning in order to help to calm the masses:
I feel better already.
Maybe that “DON’T PANIC!” headline would have helped relax this guy — or perhaps he had just read it.
A group called Born Alive Truth is running an ad featuring Gianna Jesson, a woman who had the audacity to deny her mother’s constitutional rights 31 years ago by surviving a late-term abortion.
Jesson lobbied Congress a few years ago to pass the Born Alive Infant Protection Act — legislation that was blocked by a [...]
Same dumb celebrities, different day.
The latest in the long line of Hollywood idiots who are doing nothing but helping get Republicans elected every time they open their mouths is Janeane Garofalo.
Garofalo is moron #3,153 on the long list of those who believe the intolerant should be thrown in jail. Yes, they can actually say those [...]
A few days ago, Rajendra Pachauri, the head of the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change urged humans to avoid eating meat at least one day a week to help curb global warming. And if you give up meat altogether, the planet will be even better off — so we’re told.
Well, the planet might be [...]
Tina Fey should pray that McCain wins this thing — she’ll have a long run with her dead-on Sarah Palin impression:
Today’s column at WorldNetDaily is about how the Obama campaign, with the help of some outsiders, are burying themselves in holes they dug for their opponents.
Why is this happening, and what can they do to fix it?
Give a read to “Barack, the inexperienced grave digger” for the whole story.
Charlie Gibson’s interview on ABC with Sarah Palin was not only heavily edited, but it also wasn’t even-handed in comparison to similar interviews. Big surprise.
Before Gibson grilled Palin on tough issues, he’d interviewed Barack Obama after he’d become the presumptive nominee. In comparison, Palin was treated like she was being interrogated in a murder investigation, [...]
The Obama campaign is slowly turning into one of those WWI German army divisions that keeps hurling mustard gas at the enemy — while standing upwind — and yet wonders why they’re wheezing badly while the enemy keeps advancing undaunted.
The latest Obama ad mocks John McCain for, in part, “admitting that he can’t send an [...]
If there’s a better way to head into a weekend than watching Geraldo get bowled over by a storm surge wave from Hurricane Ike, I don’t know what it is:
I realize that the heat of the political process can lead to hypercritical observations over nothing, which is what I thought of when I saw a video of McCain and Obama placing roses at a 9/11 memorial and heard some criticism of Obama decorum.
In the video (which is below and lasts only about 20 seconds), [...]
Sarah Palin has received yet another valuable non-endorsement. First there was Matt Damon, and now Pamela Anderson:
Pamela Anderson has spoken out against Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin saying:”I can’t stand her. She can suck it!“
I’m guessing as a result of this statement, Sarah Palin will soon be getting a 3 a.m. phone call from [...]
Now we’ll leave the stress of the real-life day behind and sail toward Friday on one of politically incorrect literature’s true classics: P.J. O’Rourke’s “Foreigners Around the World” — a piece that first appeared over 30 years ago in National Lampoon magazine.
Given that setup, it’s not necessary to say “language warning” is it? I [...]
Last night, on the eve of the 9/11 anniversary, MSNBC host Keith Olbermann offered a touching tribute to the victims of the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil … Just kidding — he slammed Republicans for their exploitation of 9/11 for political purposes.
On his show — which is like a fringe-left version of Wayne’s World [...]
It seems as if every time liberals open their mouths these days, McCain and Palin’s poll numbers increase. Here are just a couple of reasons why:
A Canadian doctor is worried that Sarah Palin keeping her baby with Down Syndrome may have an impact in reducing the number of abortions — especially women carrying babies that [...]
Remember when movie reviewers just reviewed movies?
Below are some snippets of a Roger Ebert commentary that appeared on his website that have apparently been removed (at whose behest we don’t know — maybe the Sun Times agrees that movie reviewers should only talk about movies).
There were plenty of places where Ebert’s words were re-posted before [...]
What’s left of my state is beaming with pride that one of our own has been chosen to misrepresent the GOP nominee during Joe Biden’s debate practice:
LANSING, Mich. – Democrat Joe Biden has tapped Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm to be the stand-in for Sarah Palin as he prepares for next month’s vice presidential debate.
Brilliant choice! [...]
Cue the IACLU! (Illegal Alien Civil Liberties Union):
TALLAHASSEE — State elections officials will resume enforcement of a controversial state law that requires Floridians to have their identification match up with a state or federal database in order to register to vote.
The fact that this is “controversial” highlights the entire problem with the country.
Just imagine [...]
Here’s some Hump-Day hilarity…
Joe Biden was on the campaign trail and asked a man in a wheelchair to “stand up” — until he realized the situation.
Obviously Senator Biden forgot that John Kerry didn’t win the ‘04 election, so the man remained seated:
(h/t StopTheACLU)
Jackie and Dunlap from Red State Update have some exclusive video outtakes from George Stephono… Stephounop… George S’s interview with Barack Obama on the “This Week” program regarding the “My Muslim faith” comment.
Let this be a lesson to always get the full context of somebody’s comments before accusing them of being a Christia… I mean [...]
A BBC poll found that the world wants Barack Obama to be president.
Barack has 82% support in Kenya! (this number has a margin of error of plus or minus Obama’s brother)
What the world may not know is that John McCain is a global warming Kool-Aid drinker, so no matter who gets elected, they’ll probably end [...]
