Lets all hope Kath makes  it thru this  storm  OK .  As  far as  I  know  shes  the  only  one  in here  in  the  path  of  the  storm.    I  think  shes  near  Baton Rouge and  I’m  hearing  some  bad  things  about that  area .

lets  thank   the   lord  that  our  commander in chief has  canceled his  attendance at  the  republican  convention  to  dedicate  all his  time  to  making  sure  our  fellow  americans  in the  path  of  this  massive  hurricane come  thru it  unscathed .   Say  what  you  want but  President  Bush  does  learn  from  past  mistakes .   And even  better   John  McCain   has  headed  down  to  the  areas  at  risk  to   also  lend a  hand  in this  most  dire  situation .  Again ,   thank  God  for  such  men as these  2 .  allan

It’s amusing to hear Obama go on and on about how he is going to cut taxes “so maybe you can buy your kid a computer”. His tax savings plan is about $400 if your AGI is $75,000. The same amount people complained about when they got their rebate checks this past year under the Bush administration and then laughed when told to spend it. Ah well, at least his VP isn’t a gun toting pro lifer.

This is a reprint, with anticipated permission, of one woman’s (if her photo is accurate) reaction to the Obama speech.  I’ve been reading her blog for about a month now and I’ve concluded that she is not ‘political‘ although she does apparently own a cat.  I have to send her a link to this post, but I pray that she doesn’t get sucked into reading anything else here.  And remember, she wrote this not knowing one frickin’ thing about any of us, except I think she must know Allan, or studied under one of his disciples…

“I just got finished watching Obama’s rock star nomination acceptance speech and I gotta say I feel like I just went to a damn Metallica concert or something. Not that I’ve ever been to one of those. But I bet at the end of them you just wanna go burn some shit in your driveway and bang pots and pans and set off firecrackers and scream really loudly while you drink, like, seven truckloads of beer. Am I right? Yeah? Metallica fans?

“This is exactly what I feel like doing right now!

“And, let’s face it, this is precisely what “politics” and “democracy” is all about — people rising up and coming together to burn some shit in some driveways and bang pots and pans and set off some chinese aerial repeaters and wake up all the neighbors with some crazy-ass drunkery.

“God I love my country.  Beautiful, just beautiful.”

What percentage of men do you all think look at porn? How about the men of the Book Shelf? 50%? 75%? 100%? Bert, we all know you type one-handed, so you don’t have to respond.

Political views aside – a black presidential nominee – a woman vice presidential nominee? What a great thing.

So she’s anti abortion and a self proclaimed rifle toting soccer mom – well, she can believe what she wants to – I’ll give her accomplishment but not my vote

“I’m not voting for McCain,” says Kathleen Hensley Portalski, Cindy McCain’s half sister.   “I have a different political standpoint.  I’m voting for Obama.  I think his proposals to improve the country are more positive and I’m not a big war believer.”

Portalski, 65, and the potential first lady, 54, have the same father.  She currently lives in Phoenix, AZ, off the beer money her Budweiser father left her.

“She’s kinda cool, standoffish,” Portalski says of her half sister. Portalski doesn’t expect Cindy McCain to make an effort to reconcile their relationship. “She never has, and I doubt that she ever will.”

“I’m not voting for Obama,” said his 26 year old half brother,  George Hussein Onyango Obama.  The youngest of Presidential candidate Obama’s eight half-siblings went on to say, “I don’t agree with his position on Iraq.  Muslims fanaticism needs to be blunted.”  Mentioning to George that he is a native of Kenya and as such can’t register to vote in the coming American election,  he responded,  “I live like a recluse, no one knows I exist.”

George Hussein Onyango Obama is the final child known to have been sired by Barack Obama, Sr.  He currently lives on the outskirts of Nairobi, Kenya, where he is in constant  in fear of beig macheted to death.

“I’ve met Barack twice in my life, once when I was five and then two years ago.  They were short meetings.  He told me to dream big and make changes in my life.  I asked him for ten dollars but he didn’t have anything smaller than a Benjamin…  What’s he really like?”

Thanks to the press digging, digging, digging, all of us in America can now make up our minds on who to vote for!

Today,  August 27th , 2008 is the  100th birthday of Lyndon Baines Johnson. Happy  birthday Lyndon .

Continuing the messiah theme and  the Oprah “He’s the one” antics Mr Obama plans to emerge from  between the columns of a Faux Greek temple being  built right now at the  stadium  where  he will  give  his acceptence speech  Thursday   night .  Now  as  we all say   ,  this is  only    my  opinon  but  this  sounds like a bone  headed  idea to  me  for a  guy   who wants  to  seen as  just  one of  the  guys .  Maybe  he  should start  reading  the  polls ,    Here’s  one  from today :\

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows Barack
Obama and John McCain each attracting 44% of the vote for the second straight day.
