This Bush guy was a mess, a complete mistake, check out this snippet from the documentary, about Bush and head of Al Zawahiri This is beyond fucked up. Full Doc follows.
Crazy eh! Now be a hero and vote it up on Reddit!
This Documentary blew my mind, in fact, everything George Bush related blows my mind, I for one can't wait for him to be gone from the world stage. I look forward to seeing for once in my life short life just what America can do with an intelligent leader in charge. After all the wars and calamities of the last 8 years, I'll be happy to see a steady hand in charge, maybe instead of making problems America will fix some.

Bush is Back Baby
Posted by Unknown | Tuesday, October 28, 2008 | George W Bush, Syria, War on Terror | 0 comments »Just as you were getting swept away in the magic of Barack Obama's fairytale journey to the White House, Bush got bored, he might have been sad that nobody went to see his biopic.
Back in September Bush attacked inside Pakistan and nobody noticed, surely nobody will notice this attack inside Syria.
Well Syria isn't too happy about it.

Syria's foreign minister has accused the US of an act of "criminal and terrorist aggression" over what it says was a helicopter raid on its territory.

Reason 74 Wasilla is a Dive
Posted by Unknown | Sunday, October 26, 2008 | Alaska, American Election 2008, Sarah Palin, Wasilla | 0 comments »Reason number 74 out of 101. Palin has been preaching recently that Small town America is the best America...well... I've been to small towns, and I like 'em too, they have character. However after watching this video (and others), Wasilla Alaska is probably the exact opposite of how a "Small Town" should look, its a dive, the meth capitol of Alaska. Lets check out the "character" (or lack there-of) of Sarah Palin's small town, Wasilla Alaska.
Lots of crazy coverage from this crazy town is starting to surface thanks to Palin, the Wasilla Mahalo Archive is bulking up because of it, hopefully someday we'll have an in depth page like this for every small town.

Philip Munger, says that Palin also helped push the evangelical drive to take over the Mat-Su Borough school board. "She wanted to get people who believed in creationism on the board," said Munger, a music composer and teacher.

More than once in my travels in Alaska, people brought up, without prompting, the question of Palin’s extravagant self-regard. Several told me, independently of one another, that they had consulted the definition of “narcissistic personality disorder” in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders—“a pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy”—and thought it fit her perfectly. When Trig was born, Palin wrote an e-mail letter to friends and relatives, describing the belated news of her pregnancy and detailing Trig’s condition; she wrote the e-mail not in her own name but in God’s, and signed it “Trig’s Creator, Your Heavenly Father.”

----------
This video is Archived, it is certainly a turning point in history and will probably be analyzed and argued over by pundits in the year 2108.
This Video doesn't seem to get old... every time I watch it I see something new. Todd pointing out Alaska is funny, the bullet riddled moose is awesome. But watching how Sarah looks increasingly uncomfortable with each passing second is priceless.
I watch... I can see how hard Palin is trying to act, it's sad, but she tries. Her banter with Sudeikis is interesting, the role she chose for herself appears to be to act all cool as if she DID do the rap backstage, this doesn't help her case because by acting all cool and opting out of what was rehearsed makes it appear as if she's a bitch, by putting the 8 month pregnant Amy Poehler on the spot like that. Anyway I feel as if this is the Nail in the Coffin moment, if not, her $150,000 shopping spree will certainly piss off a few poor Joe Plumbers...Oh...she still doesn't know what a VP does either.
This is from Oct 21 Olbermann

Jon Stewart says Fuck You to Sarah Palin
Posted by Unknown | Tuesday, October 21, 2008 | Jon Stewart, Sarah Palin | 0 comments »Here is a portion of Today's Daily Show, I thought this segment needed its own Post.
Jon Stewart is really upset with some things that Sarah Palin said...lets listen to what she said first. Or just skip to the third clip down and you'll hear it straight from Stewart, along with his profanity laced response.
October 20, 2008: Pfriend or Pfoe?
Jon Stewart touches on Powell's endorsement, and Nancy Pfotenhauer..who I believe is only on the campaign because of her non google friendly name. Ah.. and Sarah Palin gets a good BOO from the crowd here. over her "Real America" comments. The scary republican woman trifecta is complete when Stewart touches on Michele McCarthy Bachmann.
You think Jon Ripped into here in this clip...he's got a big "Fuck You" for Palin in this sketchy clip caught on a cell phone camera as he spoke in Boston...Huffington Post provided the transcript.
"She said that small towns, that's the part of the country she really likes going to because that's the pro-America part of the country. You know, I just want to say to her, just very quickly: [expletive] you," Stewart said to raucous applause.
Palin addressed a North Carolina fund-raiser Thursday night saying, "We believe that the best of America is not all in Washington, D.C. We believe...that the best of America is in these small towns that we get to visit, and in these wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard working very patriotic, very pro-America areas of this great nation."
The comment was quickly picked up by media outlets and the Obama campaign, whose spokesman Bill Burton asked in an e-mail to reporters, "What part of the country isn't pro-America?"
...
"I can't take it anymore...After eight years of this divisiveness, we're back to this idea that only small-town America is the real America," he said.
This clip caused quite a stir at the Weekly Standard, William Kristols publication, Jon Stewart addressed this controversy at the end of the show. Your Profanity meet My Profanity: "Fuck all of you!" Gotta love Jonny!

America seems to have been shut down the last two years, no fresh ideas, nothing new, same wars, same enslaving corporations and the same fear mongering. The entire world is praying Obama will win, soon America will realize what a huge positive turning point COULD be for only for America but maybe even the idea of "freedom" in general, it's a huge win.
So I'm crossing my fingers, and after he wins, I hope he really does deliver on the "hope" because the world is pretty fucked up right now and could use a historical figure to get us out of it.
We know he has to do something huge and quick and that has to mute all of his criticizers, in other words he has to do something that would even make Sean Hannity love him.
(Hannity Hates Obama, but Millions watch him everyday broadcasting crap like this below, here are some links about Hannity's "Expert" from this clip, Andy Martin)
Catch Osama in your first Year, that'll shut up the attack media and prove he means business, Obama needs to catch Bin Laden, or at least find the body and solve the mystery. With Bin Laden dead, Barack could Broadcast a message of Peace throughout the Muslim world saying "Sorry about the last guy, we got what we needed, were out of here, we'll send in a cleaning crew right away". Far fetched, right, I know, but this is my crazy fantasy, write your own if you don't like it.
If Obama catches Bin Laden he can instantly end the "Wars" all three (Afghanistan, Iraq, Terrorism) or at least Declare victory and spin America back into its post 9/11 Patriotism again, America can start reconstruction in Iraq and turn the military/security operation into a "peacekeeping" operation, with happy allies from Nato and the UN.
(Barack Speaking at DNC Winter Meetings Feb 07, mentions ending war)
So Barack has now captured Bin Laden, ended the war on terrorism, replaced some of the US Military in both Afghanistan and Iraq with International troops. Now what?
Tens of thousands of American troops are now back in the US and they are probably looking for work. Well, time for the Barack-apollo program
By the end of Barack's first term, war is over, America's economy is fixed and everybody in the country has a job in the new energy sector, America becomes the worlds HUB for new technology and the workforce behind it. As a bonus the projects also will fix the worlds pollution and eco problems, nobody even cares to argue Global Warming because the economy is benefiting from fixing it. What a concept, cleaning up the place eh, this will probably make people healthier too, but what if you do get sick? Oh yeah, health care will be overhauled first term, over hauled to benefit everybody, not just the big companies but everybody in the new American workforce.
America will develop a new fondness and perhaps understanding for Europeans and Canadians after they reap the benefits of good health care, a higher age expectancy, and the new concept of "Peace of Mind" in regards to your medical bills. America with all their Western friends will spark a new technological and philosophical Golden Age it would be beginning of the greatest technological enlightenment of the all time, I am sure.
Whats left for his 2nd term? End Global poverty?

Posted by Unknown | Sunday, October 19, 2008 | Absolutely Great, Comedy, Jon Stewart, Louis CK | 0 comments »One of the most under appreciated comics...Louis CK, I'm up, so I decided to find some of his greatest clips, for your entertainment..of course.
A. CK on Conan
Here is Louis CK in a recent interview with Conan O'Brian. He rants about how kids complain these days about things like Flying...your FUCKING FLYING..5 Hours to LA, not that long ago it would take 30 years with a chance of dying. Equally funny is how he explains he's a bad father.
(....^is it me, or is that YouTube still looks more clear then how they usually look.)
B. 911 Call
I love this clip, I remember it from not that long ago, its one you can picture happening (especially myself who worked in a call center for 4 years) The ending is everything you want it to be.
C. The Catholic Church
Louis CK who was raised Catholic until 10 years old, doesn't know anything about it, so he walked into a chuch and started asking questions. It's also the 2nd highest rated Louis CK clip on VideoSift.
D. Here is is doing a Segment on Comic Relief 2006. Great standup!
D. Finally, Louis CK being interviewed by our favourite... Jon Stewart. This interview is from 2006, there is another from 2007 here..
