Barack is stepping up his game. He's now taking overt swipes at McCain's incompetence, being out of touch and his age. All I can say is it's about time.
Rubik's Cube = cool vintage
Disco Balls = cool vintage
John McCain = out of touch

LMS EXCLUSLIVE: McCain IS The Green Candidate!
Clearly John McCain believes in being environmentally friendly during his campaign, which is why he has recycled a George Bush ad from 2004.
John McCain is more of the same.
John McCain is more of the same.

It's the Hypocrisy, Stupid.
I have nothing original to say this morning, so I took this from FranIAm. The original author is unknown, but she got it from her friend David's blog. Frankly, this would be humorous if it weren't so true. Instead of being humorous, it shows the blatant hypocrisy of the GOP.
Read on people...
This was forwarded to me today in an email. There was no attribution to author or source.
I thought that many of them were quite clever. I share them with you lot.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you’re a minority and you’re selected for a job over more qualified candidates you’re a “token hire.”
If you’re a conservative and you’re selected for a job over more qualified candidates you’re a “game changer.”
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you live in an Urban area and you get a girl pregnant you’re a “baby daddy.”
If you’re the same in Alaska you’re a “teen father.” (Actually, according to your own MySpace page you’re an F’n redneck that don’t want any kids, but that’s too long a phrase for the evil liberal media to take out of context and flog morning noon and night).
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Black teen pregnancies? A “crisis” in black America.
White teen pregnancies? A “blessed event.”
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you grow up in Hawaii you’re “exotic.”Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, you’re the quintessential “American story.”
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Similarly, if you name you kid Barack you’re “unpatriotic.”
Name your kid Track, you’re “colorful.”
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you’re a Democrat and you make a VP pick without fulling vetting the individual you’re “reckless.”
A Republican who doesn’t fully vet is a “maverick.”
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you say that for the “first time in my adult lifetime I’m really proud of my country” it makes you “unfit” to be First Lady.
If you are a registered member of a fringe political group that advocates secession that makes you “First Dude.”
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
A DUI from twenty years ago is “old news.”
A speech given without proper citation from twenty years ago is “relevant information.”
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you’re a man and you decide to run for office despite your wife’s reoccurrence of cancer you’re a “questionable spouse.”
If you’re a woman and you decide to run for office despite having five kids including a newborn with Downs Syndrome… Well, we don’t know what that is ‘cause THAT’S NOT A FAIR QUESTION TO ASK!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you get 18 million people to vote for you in a national presidential primary, you’re a “phoney.”
Get 100,000+ people to vote you governor of the 47th most populous state in the Union, you’re “well loved.”
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you are biracial and born in a state not connected to the lower 48, America needs darn near 2 years and 3 major speeches to “get to know you.”
If you’re white and from a state not connected to the lower 48, America needs 36 minutes and 38 seconds worth of an acceptance speech to know you’re “one of us.”
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you give your wife a dap on stage, it’s actually a “terrorist fist jab.”
If your daughter licks her palm so that she can slick down your youngest child’s hair on national TV it’s an “adorable moment.” (Seriously, forget about abstinence only, teach these folks some grooming skills).
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If your pastor rails against inequality in the United States of America, you’re an “extremist.”
If your pastor welcomes a sermon by a member of Jews for Jesus who preaches that the killing of Jews by terrorists is a lesson to Jews that they must convert to Christianity, you’re a “fundamentalist.”
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you’re a black man and you use a scholarship to get into college, then work your way up to being the president of the Harvard Law Review, you’re “uppity.”
If you’re a conservative and your parents pay your way to Hawaii Pacific University . . . you only have four more schools to attend over the next five years before you somehow manage to graduate (it might be five more school over the next five years. No one has yet verified whether or not Palin was actually ever registered at the University of Hawaii at Hilo. But, you know how shady people are who ever attended any kind of school in Hawaii).
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you’re 18, white, and get a 16 year old girl pregnant “life happens.”
If you’re 18, black, and impregnate a 16 year old girl, you’re a “registered sex offender
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you spend 18 months building a campaign around the theme of “Change,” it’s just “empty rhetoric.”
If one week before your party’s national convention you SUDDENLY make your candidacy about “Change,” that’s “red meat.”
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
And lastly:
If you are a Democrat, an Independent, or even a moderate Republican, if you’re female, male, white, black, Asian, Hispanic, bi-racial, multi-ethnic, or GLBT, if you’re a Jew, Gentile, Muslim, agnostic or atheist - “Yes, we can!”
If you’re a pitbull with lipstick from Alaska, “Yup, yup!”

What's A Progessive To Do?
Okay, so we're 3 days out from the completion of what may be regarded as the greatest Democratic National Convention ever. We cried. We laughed. We cheered. We were inspired.
And the GOP came out punching on Friday morning, like we knew they would. To an extent, they stole a little of our thunder because between them and Hurricane Gustav, I've hardly heard a mention of our man, Barack Obama.
But now, many serious questions have arisen regarding Sarah Palin's judgement, ability to tell the truth and qualifications in general. I'm not going to repeat them all here. Do a Google search yourself. Trust me, they're easy to find.
So what's a Progressive to do? We have work to do, my friends. Inspiration, hope, and a burning desire for change alone will not put Barack Obama and Joe Biden in the White House on November 4th. We must get to work.
Here are some ideas of how you can contribute to a Democratic Landslide in November. If you have more ideas, please list them in the comments. By no means is this list all inclusive.
1. Put a yard sign in your yard for ALL of your Democratic candidates. If you can't put signs in your yard, put one in your front windows.
2. Put bumper stickers on your car. If you don't want to permanently affix them, use some Scotch Tape to affix them to the inside of your back window.
3. Donate to Democratic candidates. The local candidates desperately need your financial help.
4. Write letters to your local newspapers in support of the Democratic candidates.
5. Call your local Democratic committee (maybe your town, township or county has one) and ask what you can do to help. They may need you to come in and stuff envelopes, pass out fliers at a local train station, march in a parade, host a candidate coffee, answer phones in the office, etc.
6. If you live in a strongly Democratic state, but near the border of one not so strong (I'm thinking of those of us living near the Illinois-Wisconsin border), see how you can get involved in canvassing or calling voters in the neighboring state.
7. On the Obama website, you can make phone calls to voters in key states. There are scripts and everything. It's actually a ton of fun and very easy. And you can do it from home in your pj's (or naked if you'd like!).
8. Canvas for local candidates. Again, this is a ton of fun and pretty easy.
9. Do you know Democrats who have a difficult time getting to the polling place on Election Day? Offer to drive them. Or offer to help them get a vote-by-mail ballot and get it mailed back in.
10. Make sure all your Democratic friends are registered to vote.
11. Buy a t-shirt or buttons supporting Democratic candidates and WEAR THEM in public.
12. Check out the Obama website Action Center for ways to get involved.
13. Take part in Election Day GOTV (Get Out The Vote) efforts. Even if you have to take the day off from work, I would say do it if you can. I'm going to.
14. When you get smear emails about Obama, hit REPLY ALL (seriously this is my favorite thing to do when my ignorant relatives are too stupid to use BCC when they're spreading their venom) and send them the truth. There's lots of great info at Fight The Smears.com (put together by the Obama campaign) and at snopes.com and at Factcheck.org.
15. Talk to your friends and neighbors, especially if they're sitting on the fence, sharing why you are so passionate about Obama and the other Democratic candidates. When you do, try and stay positive about your candidates and avoid smearing the other guy. You'll sound more credible and be more in line with the Change that Obama is working to bring about.
We can do this! Yes we can!

Definition of Pandering
When you look up "pandering" in the dictionary, I believe what you will now find is this:
Thank You John McCain!
With your VP decision today, you have 100% conceded the issues of "experience" and "Barack Obama is too young and unknown" that you've been touting lately.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Where Was McCain 3 Years Ago Today?
Three years ago today, as Hurricane Katrina was unleashing her furry on New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, John McCain was joined by President Bush on a tarmac in Arizona to celebrate his 69th birthday.
And just so we don't forget that the image of the birthday cake is only the beginning of John McCain's callousness toward victims of Katrina, watch the video below.

Bush = McCain
My blogging life is so easy these days thanks to Election 2008.
Don't think a McCain administration would be just a 3rd Bush term? Watch Obama's newest ad and see why McCain really is just more of the same.
Thanks for the video Dr. Monkey!
