Wait, what? 2

Posted by TFG on 9th May 2008

So I fucked up the Mars thing (boy, is my face red! much like our planetary little brother, Mars) — chant some U!S!A about this, BG:

One of Barack Obama’s Middle East policy advisers disclosed yesterday that he had held meetings with the militant Palestinian group Hamas – prompting the likely Democratic nominee to sever all links with him.

Robert Malley told The Times that he had been in regular contact with Hamas, which controls Gaza and is listed by the US State Department as a terrorist organisation. Such talks, he stressed, were related to his work for a conflict resolution think-tank and had no connection with his position on Mr Obama’s Middle East advisory council.

Regular. Contact. With. A. Terrorist. Organization.

Obama used the “I’m Rubber and You’re Glue” defense.

He went on to suggest that Mr McCain’s attack showed that he was “losing his bearings”.

I’m willing to bet that no other presidential candidate has anyone anywhere near his staff of advisors in regular contact with death-dealing Palis. I’ll put it at 5-3, mainly because Nader and Paul are still wandering around, and they’re probably both thick with over-educated dipsticks looking for a staff job at a conflict resolution think tank.

Those last four words, what they’ve always meant since I’ve been alive, are US Armed Forces, but I’m not allowed to say that since I never served. One more demerit for me.

Funniest Thing on the Intertubes Today, But I’ve Only Had a Few Minutes to Look

Posted by TFG on 9th May 2008

Some fathead lawyer talking 10 year-old smack.

Over the Fourth of July weekend of 1999, I had the good fortune to accompany my then fiancée (and now happily my wife) to the McCain vacation home in Sedona where she was interviewing them for a Home and Garden Television show. The interview itself was entirely apolitical, focusing on fabrics and furnishing in their lovely Oak Creek abode, topics about which I do recall the senator was less than comfortable discussing.

Or you can use this as a perfectly good example of the the tinterubes suck.

One day, I will have a fiancee who is a producer for Unique Whips and I can sidle up to Chelsea flipping burgers at the grill and find out how she really feels about Obama. Just you watch, it’ll happen. So long as The Man doesn’t try to stop me, of course.
