Here is the quote from the video but you really need to watch it.
Here’s how it is: in a lot of these communities in big industrial states like Ohio and Pennsylvania, people have been beaten down so long, and they feel so betrayed by government, and when they hear a pitch that is premised on not being cynical about government, then a part of them just doesn’t buy it. And when it’s delivered by — it’s true that when it’s delivered by a 46-year-old black man named Barack Obama (laugher), then that adds another layer of skepticism.
The funny thing is, he is totally wrong Middle America isn’t buying his message because he is a condescending elitist idiot and frankly, wrong. The fact he is dark beige has nothing to do with it.
I made my monthly trek to Costco today and spent entirely too much money, as always. It was renewal time and the kid checking me out said I owed them fifty bucks, yay. Meh.
The manager Maurey suggested the premium membership etc and I said, well if I didn’t have to write a check to the IRS today, I might take him up on it. Then he says, “No joke, it is way past time for “CHANGE” in our administration.” I gave him the patented Raised Eyebrow of Doom look and said, “You did not just feed me the Barry O slogan, did you, Maurey?”
He said, well we need some change. I said, well you will have people spending a lot less money here when he taxes the fuck out of 100% of the people who shop here. You do not have poor folks shopping at Costco, sorry. Then as I am walking out and he is walking with me, of course, because he has to save the world from their conservative ignorance, he says “You know those aircraft that flew into the world trade center were driven by Saudis! Our Rose Garden best friends. Why are we in Iraq?”
I said, “Maurey, sweetie… We are in Iraq because a madman was refusing inspections and had been ignoring UN resolutions for far too long and our enemies were working in his country. Not to mention YOUR own party believed and had been preaching for years he had WMDs.” I wasn’t going to explain to him anything more difficult. Mind you, this was a grown ass man my parents age.
He said, “I am about as conservative as a democrat can be, but I cannot vote for a Republican.” To which I said, “That is a shame, because the republican is not all that politically different than Hillary if you take out healthcare and the fact he has a spine about Iraq. You must really want to pay more taxes and have your gun rights eroded to the point of nonexistent.” At that point he said something about just wanting change. I wished him a good day and said, “I would tell you good luck with your Change, but there is nothing good about that variety of change. Have a great day!”
Why do celebrities and musicians have to fucking talk? Why is that?
Alicia Keys, who’s music I enjoyed, has not only imbibed the Black Panther Kool-Aid, she has transfused it. Ugh!
NEW YORK (AP) – There’s another side to Alicia Keys: conspiracy theorist. The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter tells Blender magazine: ”’Gangsta rap’ was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other. ‘Gangsta rap’ didn’t exist.”
Keys, 27, said she’s read several Black Panther autobiographies and wears a gold AK-47 pendant around her neck “to symbolize strength, power and killing ‘em dead,” according to an interview in the magazine’s May issue, on newsstands Tuesday.
Another of her theories: That the bicoastal feud between slain rappers Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G. was fueled “by the government and the media, to stop another great black leader from existing.”
Yes, sweetie. That is exactly right. Fight the power! Oh yeah, while you’re at it, shut the fuck up! Ugh, it is like a national hysteria these days. Gold Plated AK47 to symbolize strength, power, and killing ‘em dead? Another fine role model for black America this gal.
I can only imagine what it is like to sit and have dinner with celebrities like this. Can you imagine the dinner conversations? Closest thing I can think of would be Obama in a room full of San Francisco liberal elitists and trying to share his insights on rural Americans. Can you imagine that conversation?
Joe Six-pack will have to pay a lot more to get his buzz on if Assemblyman Jim Beall has his way.
The San Jose Democrat on Thursday proposed raising the beer tax by $1.80 per six-pack, or 30 cents per can or bottle. The current tax is 2 cents per can. That’s an increase of about 1,500 percent.
Beall said the tax would generate $2 billion a year to fund health care services, crime prevention and programs to prevent underage drinking and addiction.
“The people who use alcohol should pay for part of the cost to society, just like we’ve accepted that concept with tobacco,” Beall said.
Just so you know, every time I see the word Assemblyman, I read it as Abysmal Man for some reason. In this case it is apropos, but it is some sort of brain damage on my part any other time.
Mike Fox Sr., chairman of San Jose-based beer distributor M.E. Fox & Co., said Beall’s heart is in the right

place. “He’s very dedicated in areas of health,” Fox said. “But a tax of that nature is far too grievous. The beer industry produces so much for the economy. He won’t get to first base with that.”
I would say it is safe to assume Abysmal Man Beall hasn’t gotten to first base in a long while! I feel certain if California could figure out a way to tax the level of piss a single human passes in a given day they would. Bruce is currently doing the family thing at the river for the weekend, when he gets back I need two explanations; 1. How does he manage not to strangle someone on a daily basis. 2. What the fuck is he still doing in California when Texas is where he belongs?
Obama To Rural Pennsylvanians: Vote For Me, You Corncob-Smokin’, Banjo-Strokin’ Chicken-Chokin’ Cousin-Pokin’ Inbred Hillbilly Racist Morons

This is of course as commentary on Barry O’s little moment at a San Francisco shindig to raise more money to fund his Emasculate America 2008 Campaign. He is explaining to the frothing masses the reason he has trouble relating to the rural Pennsylvania voters and proves he is an amazing piece of shit yet again.
“You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them…it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”
l think he sounds like a Typical White Person! Oh wait… nevermind.
Ok, Fox is singing to Jesus again. The liberals are at home getting all antsy trying to figure out if they can gracefully boycott any of the sponsors. It was better last night, but still a great song. Is it wrong i was having lustful thought when David Cook was singing?
Ok, I’m a Believer lip sync by random celebs? Ok, I could have done without that Cameron Manheim hag grabbing her tits on tv. seriously. Ok, that was stupid, but good to see Vinnie Jones. I love Vinnie.
Brooke safe and puts her foot in her mouth. David Cook with his fabulous hair are safe, thank God. David Muffaletta is safe, duh.
Jordon Sparks and Chris Brown sing No Air. I actually like this song. It grows on you. Plus, Jordan has amazing teeth. Did Ryan just say, “Good to see you, BOBBY?”
Jason Castro is safe. Miss Texas Rodeo Queen, who looks fabulous, and she is safe. Bottom three are Carly, Sayanara, Michael Johns.
Michael John’s went home… damn. Sayanara is like The Pickler Skank….
Ok, the Clooney bit is spot on and as far as Michael Bay… well I would rather watch Transformers on mute than with sound. It sucked but has some pretty nifty effects. Also, according to IMDB his next few movies as Producer are a cop out.
Transformers II on tap for next year, oh goodie. Take it to the bank, Michael. I still haven’t forgiven you for Bad Boys II which had one good scene in it that made me laugh… Meet the Date.
