The British Are No Longer Needed In Iraq - Lucky Ducks
British forces
are no longer needed to maintain security in southern Iraq and should leave the
country, the Iraqi prime minister said in an interview published today.
In the interview, in today's Times, Nouri al-Maliki said there was still a need
for soldiers to provide training
but the deployment of fighting forces in the south was not required.
People like Bush and Palin simply cannot think clearly because they're in a
big, scary, brainwashing cult, and it warps their thinking so much that they're
actually horny for the end of the world. And that is not someone I want with the
nuclear codes. So, remember that video, and remember that Sarah Palin said --and
I quote --"I think I will see Jesus come back to earth in my lifetime."
To which I say, "Hasn't Jesus suffered enough?"- Bill Maher

Barack Osama?
Who is running for president? In an upstate New York county, hundreds of voters have been sent absentee ballots in which they could vote for "Barack Osama."
Why is it OK to say Obama pals around with a terrorist but not OK to call Obama an Arab?

McCain Blames Media and Democrats For Everything
“The national media has written us off.,” McCain says in excerpts released by the campaign. “Senator Obama is measuring the drapes, and planning with Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid to raise taxes, increase spending, take away your right to vote by secret ballot in labor elections, and concede defeat in Iraq. But they forgot to let you decide. My friends, we’ve got them just where we want them.”

Now, all the churches that Sarah Palin has attended --and she's been to
almost as many churches as she has colleges--have one thing in common: a belief
that the Bible is literally true. She's not "Country First," she's "Bible
First." And not just the New Testament. That's the happy half of the Good Book:
the baby in the manger, Jesus doing magic tricks, long, romantic walks on the
water that turn into fishing trips with the guys. And a generally positive
message. Jesus, after all, preached love and forgiveness, not shooting wolves
from an airplane. - Bill Maher
Subject: A
question for Sarah Palin
Now that we know that the University of South Carolina
sponsors terrorism by repeatedly inviting William Ayers, a known terrorist, who
has targeted the United States, as a public speaker; my question is: Ms. Palin,
what kind of explosives do you plan to use for your attack on the University of
South Carolina? In your answer please specify the quantities?
from Kelly H. from Germany
LOL Thanks for writing Kelly.
The University of Illinois who employs Ayers, must also sponsor terrorism!
I imagine Sarah Palin wants to keep the attention off her documented unethical behavior by saying Obama "pals around with terrorists".
McCain/Palin also don't want to discuss this: "Sen. John McCain’s wife and father-in-law continued a lucrative business partnership with disgraced financier Charles H. Keating Jr. for 11 years after the GOP presidential nominee said he ended his close friendship with Keating in March 1987."? And Cindy McCain's father was a felon....AND Cindy McCain stole drugs from her charity.
It's all about the money, isn't it?

"Barack Obama has purchased his own satellite TV station to run campaign commercials. Isn't that amazing? His own satellite station to run campaign commercials. Meanwhile, John McCain's VCR is still blinking 12 o'clock." - David Letterman

Wonderland

So what is Gov. Palin’s excuse
For the finding of power abuse?
She pretends it ain’t there,
While she claims it ain’t fair,
With the facts playing games, fast and loose.
