Just, for the record, I noticed that Biden didn’t seem to be referring too much about being VP, while Sarah Palin continually referenced a McCain/Palin administration. Now he’s got a family emergency, which I posted about before. Wow…

Also, I don’t know if I watched the same debate as the media did, but Sarah Palin was prepared, focused, and wiped the floor with Biden. He kept saying “um” and repeating things over again while he searched for words. Palin got in some awesome jabs and Biden didn’t even try to attack Palin in a negative way at all. I definitely liked her in the debates and I was reminded of how I felt when I first did research on her after the past few weeks seeing her skewered in the press.

Not thrilled about Biden saying that he’ll be hanging out with Barry in the Oval Office whenever a major decision is to be made. Spoke a lot to Obama’s frightening lack of experience in leading anything.

As I type this, Pollster.com has McCain with a higher percentage of the popular vote than either of them have had yet. The red line has turned sharply upward while the blue line is in a free-fall. Pollster.com combines the results of several polls to provide an overall larger sample. Ever since this has started to happen, the headlines on poll results have basically vanished. Don’t get me wrong, though, I’m not at all surprised about the headlines about polls disappearing. It’s typical for both sides to discount the value of polls when their side isn’t winning.

Just a brief word on the “lipstick on a pig” comment by Obama. Perhaps he was making a slight dig at Palin, maybe he wasn’t, but I don’t give a shit. There have been and will be plenty more clear sexist remarks by Obama and by other Democrats and I honestly don’t understand why we’re making such a big deal about this dig when the Republicans dish it out just fine, too.

Also, I love this “Jesus was a Community Organizer” quote. However, my interpretation is that Palin is crucifying Obama in the polls.

I also wanted to post a link to this video. I don’t know how many of you remember Obama “distancing himself” from the radical views of Rev. Jeremiah Wright but just verbally distancing doesn’t erase the years he spent in that church and the brainwashing that goes on there (and in most of the churches in the world).

It really frustrates and angers me that the sexism of the world is being shown so blatantly now. We have a confident, articulate, self-made woman running as Vice President and the left is in a desperate panicked frenzy to tear her down. This is not progress, you morons! You want to take away our right to vote, too? Your own brutal attacks against Palin have caused a 20 point swing in the white women demographic. Liberals in the media and even in government are opening their mouths and shoving both feet right in there.

The funny thing is, Hillary, as far as I can tell, has kept her damn mouth shut. She’s probably insanely jealous that another woman has upstaged her but she’s smart enough not to open herself up to attack.

My predictions:
- Biden will have some sort of medical or family emergency that will require his resignation so that he can be replaced with Hillary. If this doesn’t happen, it might be because she didn’t want to. Obama could definitely not survive politically if he was the one to pull the trigger and “flip flop” on his VP choice.
- Hillary isn’t talking now because she’s content to let Obama continue his free-fall, doesn’t want to open herself up to any criticism or attack, and she’ll try again in 4 years.

So, my wonderful “accounting” practices involves taking the large bills and dropping them in the ATM. They have an automatic thing that counts your money, tells you how much it is, and puts it in your account. Much more trustworthy-seeming than an envelope stuffed with cash. I’ve been using this thing several times a week for the past 9 months and never had a problem, until today.

So, when the money counter thing finds a bill it doesn’t like or recognize, it puts all the bills it doesn’t like back in the hopper and opens up for you to straighten the bills out and put them in again.

Today, I put in $260 (13 $20 bills) and I got the typical “we’re returning some of your cash” message. The door opens and 2 of the bills are sitting on top. I grab them and the door doesn’t close. So, I then notice that there’s another bill stuck under a paddle thing. So I grab it and another bill that’s underneath that. The door still doesn’t close. Normally, I don’t see this paddle thing in the hopper so I lift it up (it’s like spring loaded) and I see another bill, so I grab one. Immediately the door starts closing so I yank my hand out. I have retrieved 5 bills. So, I figure now it’s going to take the other 8 and give me the normal confirmation screen where I can click “add cash” and put these bills back in.

Instead, the screen says “Your transaction has been canceled”. It spits out my card and goes back to the normal “insert your card” screens. I said something to the effect of “oh HELL no” and put my card back in. I picked to deposit cash again and when the hopper opened up, it was empty. No sign of my cash. I called customer service and all they could do is note my account. I have to call them tomorrow to file a report or some shit. I’m just going to go into the branch and talk to someone because surely they will know their ATM had extra money in it.

Some random Phoenix resident started following me on Twitter today… and since he wasn’t a spammer I followed him in return. That didn’t last long.

I logged in to see what had been Twittered and I saw a charming update from my new follower:

being a failure at being pilot (i.e. being shot down) does not make one a “war hero”, sorry but it’s true and someone has to say it!

This was in response to someone else who said:

I can’t believe ppl don’t know john McCain is a POW. I’m gonna get hateful comments for my McCain support. Relax jacks. May the best man win

I guess she wasn’t kidding or expecting this sort of unpatriotic, disgusting speech from what the “angry Left” has to offer.

He followed it up a bit later with this gem of wisdom:

I’ve never understood how being an Epic failure as a pilot i.e. being shot down makes you a “hero”, I feel bad but that’s not hero

Seriously, I’m not making this shit up. I don’t care which side you’re on… THIS IS DISGUSTING. You want to blame every single man and woman who has died, been captured, or been injured in the line of duty and say it’s THEIR OWN FAULT and not heroic? Are you kidding me? I can’t even express to you how disgusted I am at this.

The sad thing is, it’s not even completely his fault. He’s a victim of brainwashing from the media! His poor little mind has been so poisoned that he has actually turned against his fellow US citizens! He’s turned against every man and woman who’s ever served in our military to keep his ass safe and to let him run his stupid, ignorant mouth without someone killing HIM for it.

If you are a liberal, you shouldn’t read this post. Who am I kidding? We both know you’re going to…

Whenever a particle A exerts a force on another particle B, B simultaneously exerts a force on A with the same magnitude in the opposite direction. The strong form of the law further postulates that these two forces act along the same line. This law is often simplified into the sentence “Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.“

After reading a WHOLE BUNCH of anti-Palin stuff this weekend and now that the world is back to work, reading some more pro-Palin stuff, this is my conclusion.

When Obama announced his ho-hum VP pick of Joe Biden, there wasn’t really a huge media reaction on either side, except to say “Welp, I guess he’s trying to balance out his lack of experience and the fact that he’s black with a long-time white guy senator.”

Now, McCain brings out this virtually-unknown woman who delivered a fantastic speech and the media reaction is epic in scale! According to the Third Law of Motion, this huge and positive action required an equal (in size) and opposite reaction from the left-wing media. I love it.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m highly disappointed that this picture-perfect family has to have such a large flaw, especially in a matter I am pretty opinionated about (young and/or unwed girls getting pregnant). I don’t believe that it says anything about her ability to do her job.

Side note here: It’s pretty obvious that unwed and single mothers are being congratulated and welcomed in society these days. I can only hope that if this incident and the opinionated retards on CNN’s political ticker have succeeded in turning this 17 year old girl into our nation’s shame, even for a day, that the gravity of one stupid decision might stop at least one teen pregnancy to occur elsewhere in the world.

I just don’t understand the left criticizing Bristol Palin while their own candidate made some pretty bad decisions when he was 17. From his own book:

I spent the last two years of high school in a daze, locking away the questions that life seemed insistent posing. I kept playing basketball, attended classes sparingly, drank beer heavily, tried drugs enthusiastically. I discovered that it didn’t make any difference whether you smoked reefer in the white classmate’s sparkling new van or in the dorm room with some brother you met down at the gym… [A]nd if the high didn’t solve whatever it was that was getting you down, it could at least help you laugh at the world’s ongoing folly and see through all the hypocrisy and bull [bleep] cheap moralism.”

And you tell me the left ISN’T sexist and hypocritical? Hmm…
