The Nomination Fight Goes Extraterrestrial

Hillary Clinton demands Martian delegates are seated.

Too Much For Me

Senator Clinton says that it is unprecedented for someone to be pushed out of the race for the Democratic Party's nomination for President. She uses the example of her husband in '92 and THE ASSASSINATION OF ROBERT KENNEDY IN '68! Yeesh, she might as well just say let the process continue in case Senator Obama gets assassinated!

I understand that everyone makes mistakes, but really Hillary? Ouch.

To Smile or Not to Smile

The first draft of the Martin Luther King Jr. memorial has been sent back to the sculptor because it was deemed too "confrontational." Article from The Root can be found here.

In the model MLK Jr. has his arms crossed and has a frown of distinction on his face. This is how I would view him to be looking at America right now and how he looked at America's climate of social change during his lifetime; determined, intense, and contemplative. I for one will be disappointed if the monument is changed to show a more happy-go-lucky and smiling King.

As a side note, how many of the other monuments in D.C. characterize a smiling individual? I can't seem to remember any.

RAGE!

Bill O'Reilly loses it. This man has some serious anger issues. He probably wasn't hugged enough as a child by his parents. Also, who knew this unbelievably outspoken conservative personality was on Inside Edition?

Note: he seriously does lose it and this video is slightly nsfw.

A Monday Poem

Poem about an everyday occurrence for many people told in a literary and romantic style.

Economists Don't Know What They're Talking About

Apparently this is what Hillary Clinton believes. Senator McCain and Senator Clinton both believe that a gas tax holiday is needed for the upcoming summer months in order to relieve the strain of high gas prices on middle class and working-class Americans. Senator Obama has opposed this tax holiday and described it as a "shell-game".

I have heard of no economist supporting the tax holiday and in fact all the reaction I have read says that it will lower prices in the short term, but raise prices in the long term due to a large increase in demand!

The Junior Senator from New York and the Senior Senator from Arizona are peddling to the fears of Americans in hopes of getting a few cheap votes. Who cares if this tax break prevents BILLIONS of dollars from being invested in our transportation infrastructure if they are able to get a few more votes out of the deal. And yes one estimate is putting the lost revenue into the area of multiple billions of dollars.

Also, does it scare anyone else that Hillary has almost become a neo-con/liberal hybrid over the past couple weeks? Between the saber-rattling with Iran, the disgustingly negative campaigning, and now the "shell-game" for votes, I am scared that she is starting to mutate the Democratic party into another entity of Karl Rove politics.

Who's the "Elitist" Now

In a mailing the Clinton Campaign sent out in Indiana attacking Obama on his stance on firearms, a gun is prominently displayed that is foreign, expensive, and would never be used by the "rugged outdoors man" she is trying to connect with.

This comes at a time when Senator Clinton has been attempting to paint herself as the workingman/woman's candidate. Would the workingman/woman's candidate use a "$2,200 German import" that is "almost unheard of in the United States"?

Too Hilarious Not to Post
