2008 election

I watched Obama's speech on my flatscreen with my lap top in front of me....twittering the whole time. I'm in love with twitter and it's ability to connect hundreds of thousands of people real time and disseminate information globally with a simple text message (FYI Obama has the largest twitter stream with 165,000 followers).

While on twitter, I got this link from Dave Winer.  In the middle of Obama's speech, the White House got a new website.  It's amazing.

Betty: George Senior has his hands in his pockets feeling for his lost balls that Barbara has locked away, Obama has his hands folded in front of his crotch to protect his big dick, George Jr. looks to his Daddy as usual with limp helpless arms and Clinton has just spied some hot chick reporter on the front row.

Jimmy Carter stands alone as he looks to the future- the only humanitarian in the rotten presidential Old Boys Club. Except for Jimmy, they're all a bunch of bums. We gotta get some women in the White House besides wives.

Carlin: I remember voting for Carter in our 5th grade mock presidential election.  He put solar panels on the White House and set 2008 as the year to cut our carbon emissions by 50%.  Then, Reagan came in and undid every environmental initiative he pioneered.  If only...

America needs to end our dependence on war which takes care of our dependencey on oil. Thank you Deepak Chopra:

You have been elected by the first anti-war constituency since 1952, when Dwight D. Eisenhower was elected after promising to end the Korean War. But ending a war isn't the same as bringing peace. America has been on a war footing since the day after Pearl Harbor, 67 years ago. We spend more on our military than the next 16 countries combined. If you have a vision of change that goes to the heart of this country's deep problems, ending our dependence on war is far more important than ending our dependency on foreign oil.

The most immediate changes are economic. Unless it can make as much money as war, peace doesn't stand a chance. Since aerospace and military technologies remain the United States' most destructive export, fostering wars around the world, what steps can we take to reverse that trend and build a peace-based economy?

Yes, he's hotter than George Bush but does he have the balls to "change" this country (change connotes sacrifice)? I was opposed to the whole Rick Warren thing until my boyfriend set me straight: he is serving up some crumbs to the GOP and the religious right. It's a throw away. The real positions are going to the intellectuals and the scientists.

I had this weird dream the other night where Obama was telling me how he was behind what Betty and me were doing with the site.  Was it a fantasy? Yes.  Was it the usual fantasy? No, he wasn't naked.  I wasn't naked. What happens when you get to the point where you just want to be heard instead of f*cked?

Once again we have a president with intelligence who intends to separate church and state. As a sexologist I can say from years of experience that religion is the basis of sexual repression, beginning with the concept of original sin. Puleeeze! A new born baby gets saddled with that crap?

Some days I say I'm an atheist. Other days I would be considered an agnostic. That's when I find it comforting to talk to the Goddess of Sexual Love and Abundance, the Orgasmic Mother of us all. This is the closest I come to having a higher power. As for my spiritual practice, I consider every orgasm a divine moment of inspiration, and the rest? It's no body's business but my own. Wouldn't it be wonderful if everyone shared their sexlives and kept religion to themselves.  

Obama has officially offered Hill the spot.  I knew it!  I knew Hillary was going to be named as Obama's Secretary of State.  She must have been choking on her filet when Condoleeza Rice was named Glamour's Woman of the Year this week.  Time to step aside, Condi.   

How do you get Woman of the Year when you've stood by as Bush and his cronies ran this country into the ground?  Hilary to the rescue.  Hooray.

Just wow!  Obama looks so ready to take the reins, Michelle is so poised and sexy, and together they're going to set such an example for the world.

Here's the short list of Bush executive orders that Obama is set to overturn:

· The ban on stem cell research

· The Global Gag Rule 

· Erosion of reproductive rights

10,000 people marched through the streets here Friday night to protest the passage on Tuesday of Proposition 8, a ballot measure outlawing same-sex marriage.  

The march, which began near City Hall, snaked down the city's main artery, Market Street, to the Castro district, a bastion of San Francisco's gay men and women. Rush-hour traffic was stopped as marchers, some carrying signs reading "We Shall Overcome," peacefully swarmed around cars.

I was watching Celebrity Rehab and Rodney King (he's an alcoholic and on the show) explained how there was a gay protest going on the night he was attacked and they immediately marched over to the police station when they heard about him getting almost beaten to death. So sad that we can't support each other.

Obama won...the Democrats took the New York Senate...and the proposed amendment to define a woman's "egg" as a person under the Denver Constitution was defeated.

I thought I'd highlight some of the other sexual successes we had yesterday: South Dakota rejected a proposal to prohibit abortions except in cases of rape or incest or where the mother's life or health is at risk; voters in Michigan chose to amend the state constitution to permit human embryonic stem cell research with certain restrictions; Michigan became the 13th state to legalize marijuana for medical purposes - voters in Massachusetts also approved an initiative to decriminalize penalties for possession of less than an ounce of marijuana; and voters in Nebraska approved a measure prohibiting state governments from discriminating against or granting preferential treatment to people based on race, ethnicity, color, sex or national origin.

Hillary must be burning up right now.  According to a new study, women running for top offices need to appear competent and attractive. For male candidates, seeming competent may be enough [AP].  So it seems that our own prejudices have created Sarah Palin's political career.  We'll cast a vote for a woman as along as we could have a beer with her and get a boner.

God, what do you tell your daughter,  "study hard and hope that you have the right bone structure, shiny hair, and killer smile"?  I can't take it.  We have to promote more women like Rachel Maddow who does't fit the current definition of beauty, has a brain, and uses it.

While FOX news makes a big deal out of ACORN, a community group that registers new voters, thanks to the Bush White House, the Federal Govt has put new rules in place that could disenfranchise many Democrat's votes. Unless we have a landslide for Obama, the unscrupulous, sneaky GOP could steal the election AGAIN.

"The new registrations thrown out, the existing registrations scrubbed, the spoiled ballots, the provisional ballots that were never counted - and what you have is millions of voters, more than enough to swing the presidential election, quietly being detached from the electorate by subterfuge.

"Jim Crow was laid to rest, but his cousins were not," says Donna Brazile. "We got rid of poll taxes and literacy tests but now have a second generation of schemes to deny our citizens their franchise." Come November, the most crucial demographic may prove to be Americans who have been denied the right to vote.

Larry Flynt is a genius.  His Sarah Palin porn parody was released today just in time for the final presidential debate tonight.

Finally, someone hit the nail on the head: the conservative stanch against abortion & contraception is about punishing women for having sex:

Barack Obama and Sarah Palin traded barbs on abortion and the economy at dueling Pennsylvania rallies yesterday.

Palin, in a Pittsburgh suburb, avoided the inflammatory remarks she made last week linking Obama to "domestic terrorists."  But she hit him hard on abortion, accusing him of "unconditional support" for pregnancy-ending procedures.

"He said that a woman shouldn't have to be - quote - 'punished with a baby,' " Palin said, referring to a comment Obama made during the primary.

"Americans need to see his record for what it is," she said.  (Yeah, a candidate that supports women's rights).

Bobby Kennedy Jr. and Greg Palast have had it UP TO HERE. They stole 2000. They stole 2004. Now, they're snatching it again. So Bobby and Greg are doing the most important thing they can do in a crisis of democracy: write an investigative comic book.
