Barack Plays The Humor Card
Barack Obama poked some fun
at his Arabic-derived first name
to explain the need for the constitutional right of prisoners to appeal their
detention.
He said U.S. authorities sometimes mistakenly arrest the wrong person, confusing
"Muhammad the terrorist" with "Muhammad the cab driver" or "Barack the
bomb-thrower" with "Barack, the guy running for president."

"Last night, John McCain said that under the Democratic health care plan, a bureaucrat would stand between you and your doctor, as opposed to the Republican health care plan, where an accountant would stand between you and your health care." -Jay Leno
Bill Invites Barack To Visit Harlem
Bill Clinton and Barack Obama will
have their first private meeting of the campaign season on Thursday at the
former president's Harlem office, campaign aides said, signaling another step
toward party unity as the race for the White House intensifies.
Clinton, who extended the invitation, gave a rousing speech in Denver at the
Democratic National Committee convention, urging voters to get behind Obama.

College Republican Makes Fun Of Obama's Lips
The leader of a
statewide group of college Republicans has been forced to resign after posting
racially insensitive comments about Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama
on the Internet.
Adam LaDuca, 21, the former executive director of the Pennsylvania Federation of
College Republicans, wrote on his Facebook page in late July
that Obama has "a pair of lips so large he could float half of Cuba to the
shores of Miami (and probably would.)"
"Hey, did you all see John McCain last night? He gave a great speech. And you've got to admit, he looked so life-like, didn't he?" -Jay Leno
"Bush
didn't make the convention because the hurricane, Gustav, hit New Orleans, but
actually didn't. Bush was at the Hurricane Command Center, taking credit for a
perfect emergency response to a perfect non-emergency. Although he actually did
cause some panic, because viewers at home saw him sitting there, doing nothing,
and they thought maybe it was another terrorist attack." -Bill Maher
Subject: a reminder
Since many of us have
short-term memory loss
as we grow older, I thought a reminder of how
and why we are in the mess we're in was in order.

If you want 4 more years like the last 8, vote for Senator McCain, but
if you want at least the hope things could be better, vote for Senator
Obama.

"Cindy McCain appeared at the Republican National Convention, and Vanity Fair took a look at an outfit she wore. The magazine priced it out at around $300,000. With that kind of money, you could buy an 11th house." -Jimmy Kimmel

"But what
was the main thrust of John McCain's message? [on screen: McCain saying business
in Washington needs to be changed]. Hmm. That's funny. I think I remember
another guy with a very similar message [on screen: Obama talking about change].
No. No. No, no, not that guy [on screen: President Bush in 2000 saying he wants
to 'change' Washington]. That's the guy! I remember that! He's going to change
the tone of Washington. How did that work out?" -Jon Stewart

John McCain's speech last night, an anti-Republican heckler began yelling at

Rumors On The Internets
Lance Armstrong will always
have Paris, where he completed his seven consecutive Tour de France triumphs —
the last in 2005.
Why would he want to do it again?
The question was raised anew Monday on the Internet following an unattributed
story by VeloNews that Armstrong will come out of retirement and compete in the
2009 Tour and four other races with Team Astana.
However, Astana team director Johan Bruyneel, who was with Armstrong for all
seven Tour wins from 1999-2005, told CyclingNews.com that he was unaware of any
Armstrong comeback.
"I don't know where the rumors come from," the website quoted him as saying.
"Actually, some Republicans are not that thrilled with McCain's speech. In fact, the rumor is Sarah Palin is thinking of dropping him from the ticket." -Jay Leno

Happy Birthday Lisa!
Don't you hate sharing your birthday week with 9-11. I remembered your birthday because we share the same day.

Happy Birthday to you too Craig! Thank you so much for remembering.
I don't mind sharing my birthday week with 9-11 as much as I do mind sharing my astrological sign, Virgo, with John McCain! The horror of it all.
I hope you had a good time today

Key West, Fla., who didn't adhere to the resident evacuation orders for
Hurricane Ike, celebrate the cancellation of a hurricane watch for the Florida
Keys on the island's Duval Street Monday, Sept. 8, 2008. Ike's devastating core
is expected to pass well south and west of Key West, sparing the Keys island
