Is Obama Biden off more than he can chew with VP choice? Is this change we can believe in?
By Joe • Aug 23rd, 2008 |
I’m mystified (and disappointed) in Obama’s choice for VP. Put me on record as saying this decision may very spell the beginning of the end for Obama’s White House bid.
Joe Biden does not even want to be vice president!!

The Great American Yard Sale will not be televised.. at least not on my TV
By Joe • Aug 18th, 2008 |I read a somewhat somber article in Time Magazine today about the great sell-off of American companies to foreign interests. It really got me thinking about the most important things in life.
The impetus for the article was the sale of Anheuser-Busch (read: Budweiser) to a Belgian-based, Brazillian-controlled company called InBev. Price tag? $52 BILLION dollars. Anheuser-Busch isn’t alone according to the article. The weak dollar coupled with a weak economy is leading to what Time has dubbed “The Great American Yard…

“Nearly one million—three in 10 California teens—are left unsupervised after school three or more days each week” (Opinion Research Poll, June, 2006)
A little over two years ago, law enforcement people from all over the place met with state legislators and pleaded with them to put key legislation in place “to ensure high–quality [prop. 49 after school] programs roll-out successfully.” At the time, an official added, “these reforms are necessary because serious financial and administrative barriers currently keep many kids…

By Joe • Jul 17th, 2008 |
Back in November of 2006 Jesse Jackson was all over the air waves pitching his idea to abolish the “n” word once and for all. I have to admit, I was behind him all the way, and cheering as much as anyone for the “n” word’s burial.
At the time, CBS News reported: “Jackson says he plans to meet with TV networks, film companies and musicians to talk about what they can do to stop using the racial slur.”

By Joe • Jul 15th, 2008 |
ROFL. Hahaha! Relax. Stop getting so defensive! It’s just a cartoon. It’s a joke, you idiot! So says liberal New Yorker magazine in response to outrage over its COVER cartoon portraying the Obamas as Al Qaeda sympathizers in the Oval Office, grinning and knucking it up, as the American flag burns in the fireplace behind them, and satan hangs on the wall stoically.
“Haven’t white people made enough jokes about black folk? 400 years aint enough jokin for yall? Talk about…

By Joe • Jul 13th, 2008 |
People are finding out the hard way Barack Obama does not find anything funny about celebrities who think their money, fame, and fan clubs give them permission to degrade women and perpetuate sexist and racial stereotypes.
To the delight of some–and disappointment of others–Obama has left nothing to interpretation with his admonishment of those who cross the line of common decency and respect towards our ladies. Want proof? Check out his searing criticism of

By Joe • Jun 18th, 2008 |Unsubscribe. That word sums up my position on a lot of things these days.
My latest unsubscribe request happened this morning after I read yet another email from the Obama campaign asking me: “Are you ready for the next big challenge of this campaign? On Saturday, June 28th, more than a thousand supporters like you are hosting Unite for Change house meetings all across the country. Ordinary people will be opening their homes and inviting friends and neighbors to come together and…
