Thanks again, to the President that took our good name and utterly ruined it globally. Thanks again to the complete fools that elected this fool, who was completely and utterly unqualified to run a baseball team (which he failed at) let alone a world superpower. January 20th can’t get here any sooner.
So Andi has me watching reruns of Almost Live!, an comedy show that ran locally in Seattle from the 1980s to the 1990s. It’s got some famous alumni, like Joel McHale, who is now The Soup on E!. This bit kills me. May be not be as funny to folks not living in or from Seattle:
Never forget:
You know, McCain has fought and bled for our country, loves our country. There’s too many questions with Barack Obama and his loyalty to our country and I question that greatly.
Why do they even put this guy on Fox News anymore? Do they honestly believe he’s helping McCain-Palin at this point, or is it some weird Joe Six-Pack anesthetic for some people? Joe the Plumber is the new opiate for the masses?

The campaign may be officially over. No, really. This is made of awesome.
Did you know we’ve gone to war with Iran now? No? Didn’t? Neither did I…
I mean… what? 25 seconds of video, in which Palin announces the Republicans winning the White House, then fixing the United States economy, AND “shoring up” the “wars” verus Iraq AND Iran in 100 days.
Wow.
1. I didn’t know we’re at war WITH Iraq. They’re not Germany or North Korea last I heard. Last I heard, we’re fighting insurgents trying to overthrow and destabilize the new Iraqi government.
2. We’re at war with Iran? I guess the “mainstream media” sure sucks for missing that headline.
Thanks Bernie!
Vote wisely, this coming Tuesday.
Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran:

McCain thinks Vladimir Putin is the President of Germany:
Utterly embarrassing montage of astonishing McCain cluelessness and deception:
Vote for change. And this is just a great ad:
Found on the Stranger Slog. It’s simply made of awesome.
For a good view of astounding ignorance, and at the same time to see some wonderful examples of and acceptance of free speech, watch this video, recorded at an Obama rally:
The protester’s chief (and completely wrong) point is laughable–it’s not a good time for a President who may be Muslim to be in the White House as we’re fighting two wars in Muslim nations. Funny–didn’t we elect a Christian President during World War II, when we were fighting two Christian nations in the form of Germany and Italy? I mean, you sort of can’t get more Christian than Italy.
His argument, of course, depends on the idea of Obama himself being Muslim, which he isn’t–his father was Muslim, and when Obama was around 9 years old he lived in Indonesia for a couple of years, and went to–gasp!!–a Muslim-ran school during the time. Which, you know, is expected, when you live for a year or two in a predominantly Muslim nation (correct me if I’m wrong on that, with Indonesia being a Muslim nation). Either way, as pointed out in the video: who cares? We have Freedom of Religion in the United States, we have separation of church and state, and we’re a sectarian nation anyway. Who cares if we have a President who is Roman Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim, Athiest, or Quaker?

Speaking of humiliation… watch this–it’s very short, and probably worthy of appearing on Failblog.com. It’s astonishing stupidity and shows how desperate things have become.
McCain was told that Joe would be in the crowd for a campaign event–but he never showed up. Oops. Pretty much the last thing that McCain can afford is any screw ups, especially this close to Election Day.

The nice Beta Society people made a local slasher flick! Premieres tomorrow! Buy tickets! See the trailer and cover your junk!
(trailer is NSFW!)
They are also showing and Mystery Science Theatering the Friday the 13th where Corey Feldman kills Jason at the premiere, at the Market Theatre, Wednesday, October 29, 2008 8:00 PM.
UPDATE AND REVIEW, 10/30/08: We saw Junkbucket last night at the Market Theatre. Like Mr. Smith Goes To Washington, it tells a simple, yet inspirational story. Junkbucket is an ultimately uplifting tale–it cuts to the literal boner of human emotion, and the simple need we all share and long to offer to our fellow people: that we are all, in the end, the same, and that we can all effect positive change on each other. The film additionally offered gentle, tender slasher film “kills”, which were handled with a loving, humane, and lingering attention to detail, and a positive and affirming respect for human life. The ultimate message I took away, from Junkbucket, was that human life is a special, and curious thing. Except when Junkbucket cuts off your motherfucking junk, in which case you’re just fucked. Also: STICK IT IN HER DUPA PFFT.
If you don’t know what Spaghetti Cat is, spread the word. We saw it first on The Soup, which we’re addicted to:
Spaghetti Cat would not leave, however:
Found via Kos, there is a neat article here talking about the massive fight Elizabeth Dole has on her hands.
So how is it that Dole may well be toppled next week because of a pair of old guys in rocking chairs at a country store?
Because the men were actors hired by the Democrats this summer to star in one of the year’s more talked-about television spots — an advertisement that, by its very existence as well as its apparent effectiveness, symbolizes the extraordinarily strong position the Democratic Party has put itself in for the final fortnight of this year’s Senate and House campaigns.
The ad crystallized, in 30 seconds, four of the party’s main arguments against Dole. One actor asserts that she “is 93,” then points to her ranking as one of the least effective senators in a survey by a nonpartisan political Web site. “I’ve read she’s 92,” says the other, citing a calculation that she’s voted that high percentage of the time in support of President Bush. But the implications, of course, are that the senator (who’s actually 72 years old) is way past her prime and a carpet-bagger more comfortable in Washington, and they are hammered home in the final lines. “What’s happened to the Liddy Dole I knew?” says one man. “She just not a go-getter like you and me,” says the other.
Those sites make some great points. Mine is simpler, and goes in line with the simple point of what Obama has said again and again, and that the Republican machine and McCain haven’t been able to refute: eight years of failures. Either years of bad comedy, bad leadership, and bad policy, from end to end. That is what it comes down to. And this is nice to see, that people are taking it to them with good old fashioned bare knuckle honesty.
In case you somehow haven’t heard this yet, Senator Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) was convicted today on seven counts of failing to report more than $250,000 in improper gifts. The reporting oversight was blamed on a series of tubes getting clogged.

Note: she doesn’t like being interrupted, and she will tell you to STFU. She looks and sounds like a spoiled childing stamping her feet because someone had the gall to slap the back of her hand after the Obama spokesman basically makes her sound like a moron. It’s like watching a geek dismantle a stereotypical dumb jock in a conversation above the IQ 100~ threshold.
