Calm yo self Obama!

Caught up in the intensity of his campaign speech, Barack Obama missed the mark drastically on the number of deaths from the Kansas tornadoes. Instead of reporting a death toll of 12, Obama stated that 10,000 had died. Only off by 9,988 people!

“In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died — an entire town destroyed,” stated Senator Obama on Tuesday.

He later realized his mistakes after making his closing remarks.

“There are going to be times when I get tired,” he said. “There are going to be times when I get weary. There are going to be times when I make mistakes.”

That's true. No big Barack.

Hiel Bowles!

America, meet John Henry Bowles, 2008 presidential hopeful and underdog. Named "the White People's Candidate," Bowles is described as a "full-blown neo-Nazi" (boots up), and believes in the legitamacy of his candidacy because it is time "for the white people to put a real white man in the White House."

What will he bring to the table if elected president? American voters can expect, " free health care, lower food prices (through the elimination of the "kosher tax"), lower taxes (by cutting off aid to Israel), and the orderly deportation of all non-whites to Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. All white soldiers can expect to be recalled from overseas duty and be placed on the Southern border so they can help 'stop the invasion.'"

Spoken like a true white supermascist nazi. And what a stupid candidate. The only contributor to his campaign is himself. Is he really serious about running (obviously not) or is he running to piss people off?

Mickey Mouse endorses Islam's destruction

Hamas militants have recruited one of the world's most iconic cartoon characters to advocate their message of Islam takeover to little children. Who you ask? Well if you couldn't already tell from the picture to the left (or read the titled of this post for that matter), it's none other than Mickey Mouse! Or should I say, "Mickey Mouse" as their ripoff rendition of the character looks more like a screwed up rat, and is named "Fafour" (which means butterfly).

Fafour also has his own show, whose audience consists of little children at their most impressionable stages. Children are free to call into the show, singing anthems about Israeli's takeover.

Fafour squeaks,"We will return the Islamic community to its former greatness, and liberate Jerusalem, God willing, liberate Iraq, God willing, and liberate all the countries of the Muslims invaded by the murderers."

Representatives from Walt Disney Co. have not (yet) commented on this issue.

Wow, does anyone else find this really creepy and wrong?

College students are on a roll :P

Richard Ryan Wargo, a 19 year old Louisiana State Univeristy student was held on a $1 million bond. Why you ask? Apparently he was accused of planning a terrorist-like attack against Hilary Clinton. Clinton is scheduled to speak in Baton Rouge on Saturday, though police have said it was unclear whether the alleged attack was to be carried out at that time.

A classmate whom Wargo communicated with later tattled on him to the university. Wargo was accused with, "terrorizing, communicating false information of planned arson and possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia".

Caught planning an attack AND for drug possession? He's screwed, and will probably get life with the way our drug policy is.

College students are really making a terrible impression lately (i.e. Cho, Wargo, and did anyone else get that email about those sexual assaulters in their UCI inbox today?)

Darn those delinquents!

Apparently Bush thinks that the American soldiers fighting in Iraq are kids. And that the "terrorists" that flew airplanes into the World Trade Center were also kids.

Bush stated, “And if I didn’t think it was necessary for the security of the country, I wouldn’t put our kids in harm’s way.”

While many soldiers over in Iraq are kids (18 and early 20 year olds) in comparison to him, not all are. We've got mature aged captains being killed in Iraq.

As for the enemy Bush stated, “You can attack a nation several ways. One, you can get 19 kids to fly airplanes into buildings, or you can gain control of something a country needs and deny that country access to that, in this case, oil, and run the price of oil up, all attempting to inflict serious economic damage.”

Last time I checked the hijackers weren't kids? Looks like Bush needs some new goggles. wah wah.

Thumbs down: Obama, usurper of myspace site

So apparently Obama's campaign took control over an unofficial MySpace page, and claimed it as his official site...without permission. On top of this, Obama's campaign in unwilling to compensate the man who originally create the page (and spent TWO years on it, too).

Here's the link to the site:

www.myspace.com/barackobama

The creator, Joe Anthony, made the site in 2004 when Obama was elected to the Senate. The site became a central meeting place for people to learn about and discuss Obama. When the site was usurped, it had already acquired over 30,000 friends.

However trivial, or "high school" this whole stealing a MySpace site seems, it is unfair how it was taken without permission NOR compensation. I mean, the guy who created it spent two years running it, and is (or was) obviously a great supporter of Obama. This kind of move gives off the wrong impression to his supporters.

Ex- governor's wife on Oprah

Dina Matos McGreevey, the ex-wife of America's first openly gay governor, appeared on "The Oprah Winfrey Show", rebutting her ex-husband's (former New Jersey Gov. James E. McGreevey) claim that she had always known he was gay.

In August 2004, McGreevey announced to the public that he was a "gay American" and that he had been involved in an extramarital romance with a male aide. Months later he resigned from his position.

During his announcement, McGreevey instructed his "wife" to smile and be like Jackie Kennedy that day.

Dina responded, “I smiled because I didn’t want to break down,” she said. “He told me, you have to be Jackie Kennedy today. And I’m thinking, Jackie Kennedy? Her husband was murdered. You cheated on me and I have to be Jackie Kennedy?”

She was right. How could one expect her to put on a fake smile after such news. She truly kept her grace under pressure, despite the absurd request.

Dina's response to her ex-husband's memoir ("The Confession") is titled "Silent Partner: A Memoir of My Marriage" and was published Tuesday, the same day the show aired.

Something to pick up for all you gossipers.

"In it, McGreevey described sexual encounters with aide Golan Cipel — who has denied having an affair with McGreevey — and wrote that he married Matos McGreevey to help him advance his political career."

The fact that he is gay isn't the problem. The problem is that he used his wife for political advancement, and was overall untruthful. That's pretty scum-baggish to me. And this guy was an elected governor?
