Obama takes his case to country with infomercial - Yahoo! News:
That's it. I'm officially sick of Obama. And McCain't win. But more so Obama. All this hype. I hate unsubstantiated fervor over someone, and it makes me mad that so many people are being duped by someone who's just pointing out past mistakes and saying "we can do better than that" and not saying how he plans to do so. I don't like anyone (McCain't included) who acts like any plan of theirs is going to happen if they're elected as if Congress has nothing to say about it. And I can't stand that people always seem to forget that.
And to top it all off, Obama wants to package all that crap he keeps repeating into an infomercial... OMFG, shoot me now plzkthx. I'd much rather watch a repeat of... some stupid show than ANY infomercial. Come on, everyone has heard the same lines Obama says over and over. I hope another candidate never gets as much money as Obama has if it means they'll do infomercials. Ugh. The only thing worse would be if McCain't made an informercial because it would truly drive me nuts to hear about how he and Palin and such mavericks over and over again, and his lone example of how he stopped a bad airline contract. Not to take away from its goodness, but I don't want to hear about it over and over again.
But maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm just pissed off because I think both candidates suck... I need to vote soon and it's hard picking out the lesser evil of the two. Though, I live in Texas so McCain't will win here, but still. Plus, more importantly, there's the local races.
Oh yeah, McCain't should hire the guy who did Cornyn's commercials, he'd look a lot more presidential and confident if he did. Cornyn 2012!

Romo v. Aikman
"Against Arizona this season, Romo broke Troy Aikman's team record with his 14th career 300-yard passing game in his 32nd start. Aikman's 13 came in 165 starts."
---
Oh please, that's less of an indicator of whose better and more of an indicator of the teams. Aikman's Cowboys started off with an organization that was reinventing itself. Jimmy Johnson (and Jerry) was putting together "his" team. There were some tough seasons to watch, but I'll never forget that even when they sucked royally, they put enough gritty determination together to beat the Redskins... that was really sweet. And even when they got good, they had a ball carrier from Pensacola that had to get his due... you may remember him as one of the all time, if not THE, greatest running back to play the game, Emmitt Smith. When I think of Emmitt, I think of that Giants game when, even with a hurt shoulder, he pounded the crap out them. Heart, determination, a huge will to win, great athletic ability... Emmitt is part of why Troy was able to be great himself. Don't forget that offensive line and some people who knew how to catch a football.
Romo's Cowboys, well, he inherited a team that's already set up to win. They would have done really well in last year's playoffs, if not for the Giants. Parcells pretty much left his successor an overally good group of guys. So, Romo doesn't have to go through some terrible seasons while tooling the machine. He inherited a gift. And since this team isn't really very inspiring in the running back department, they kinda need to be passing for a lot of yards. Why do you think 3 interceptions were made when they played St. Louis? They have to pass. They're too dependent on it if you ask me. And I guarantee you, if it was Aikman during Romo's stint as quarterback, he would have had his 14th 300 yard passing game in probably probably 25 starts.
So, so what if Romo has more 300 yard passing games... it just shows how dependent the current team is on being able to pass. Now that Romo is out with a hurt finger, that dependency is exposed. Romo is good though, it'll be interesting to see how he progresses once he starts playing again.

Paparazzi called in tip on Locklear
Short version of article, papper with a shady history calls police in on Heather Locklear and then photographs the arrest, then sells the photos using a 3rd party because she has a hard time selling her photos due to her checkered past. Pond scum comes to mind.

Not Me
Commentary: Time for Palin to put up or shut up - CNN.com: "Countless folks have said that we all know McCain, and it s necessary to scrutinize every aspect of Obama. Really? I think if you ask the average person, they ll know a lot more about Obama's childhood than McCain, solely by the level of scrutiny."
Yeah, I know all about Obama's childhood. I know he's partly white and partly black, was raised muslim in Indonesia, attended terrorist training camps, piloted both of the 9/11 planes into the twin towers, once shot a man just for snoring, and then went to Hawvawd law school. Yeah, everbody knows about Hussein's childhood.
McCcCcain's childhood... well, I think most of his childhood was learning how to make fire and at night he was draw pictures on the cave's walls. Then he went to military schools in the USA and ended up at the Naval Academy.
As for Palin, no idea where this idea of her just needing to show up came from, but seems odd after hearing how badly she did in an interview with Katy Curic. I didn't see the interview, but my very biased Obama-loving friend says Palin looked really stupid in the interview. So, hearsay yeah, but this isn't a courtroom.
Biden, I think he's a really nice guy and has always seemed very genuine. Even when he's wrong about something he believes, at least you know he's sincere about it, that it matters to him, but that he's not going to hate you if you disagree with him. I think he'd be a really good president, kinda Reganesque, if he simply wouldn't always follow the Democrat's platform even when they're totally wrong. Even on personal issues, saying many times that the truck driver who collided with his now-deceased wife's car was drunk at the time, is simply wrong. If you get something that momentous in your life wrong or mixed up, where I would think ever factoid would matter and where I would have been on that truck driver's ass until fully proscecuted, then I'm reluctant to beleive anything you say. Not because I think you're a liar or that you're trying to deceive, but that you simply get things mixed up and thoughts of what might be, become facts to you.
So, where's Ralph Nader in these debates? He's probably the only one that actually tells the honest truth about everything. But, I'm reluctant to vote for a 60 y/o virgin.
Anyway, who cares how any of these people grew up. What matters now is if any of them can hurt the country more than what GW would with another 4 years. The answer is probably no, but of the three, Hussein is more likely to screw up because of his lack of understanding of international matters, like when the US speaks to you, it's recognizing you. For Hussein to not understand that or at least the implications of it, a Hawvawd law graduate... something's fishy or very wrong. Either way, the guy is a total newb and surprisingly dumb for someone supposedly so smart. I fail to see the reason for the excitement of his proponents, all I hear from him is sound bite statements, talking about how things should be but nothing about how to get there. McCcCcCcain... not much better than Hussein but at least he knows how everthing works in Washington and around the world, so that gives him the edge over Obama even if Palin turns out to be a total idiot.
