Anyways, in uncertain times like these I look to the rock of financial stability, the bookies. While McCain might have a slight edge in the polls, he still does not with the dudes who set football spreads. He has closed the gap however. A few weeks back I checked out my trusty sportsbetting.com and the money was still reasonably with Obama, at 1-2, with McNuggets at 3-2.

But just now I checked again and not surprisingly the gap has closed. Obama has slipped to 2-3 and McNasty has closed to 11-10. So Vegas has spoken and Obama is still the favorite! (Though not really).

Also, in no way do I endorse gambling ones fortune on sporting events, but consider putting your 401k on the San Fransisco 49ers this week at (-4) against the Detroit Lions. This is a lock because no NFL team (aside from the Rams, Chiefs, Raiders and Dolphins), playing at home, should be favored by less than 10 points against the Lions.

The republican platform for change said it all in who their keynote speaker was. Rudy ‘9/11′ Giuliani. A man who has profited off that horrific day with book sales and based his entire presidential bid on scaring Americans into voting for him.

Fortunately Giuliani’s scare tactics didn’t work for his own political gain, even with republicans. It seemed the more people saw of Giuliani the more they disliked him. That’s why he retreated to my old home state of Florida, camped out and ran outrageous fear mongering ads. Then managed to finish 3rd in that state, dropping out with a grand total of 0 delegates.

This tired old message by republicans didn’t work in 2006 and it didn’t work for Giuliani. And it shouldn’t work for the McCain/Palin ticket in the general election. It is not un-patriotic to not always stand on your governments side, quite the contrary. “Country First” means that you put your homeland, common sense and principles before your government.

The Nazi party rallied Germans around extreme nationalism, and they made them scared of the growing power of Jews in their communities. It was for these reasons that they were able to unite the majority of their people into unjustified wars and to commit horrific atrocities against humanity.

The neo-conservatives used these same tactics to take us into Iraq and they will do the same to take us into Iran. McCain used to be a “maverick” but he is clearly no maverick these days. If elected, he will continue the backward policies of Bush/Cheney that have led the USA into economic disaster and international embarrassment. So congratulations John McCain, tonight is your night to take the helm of the new American Nazi party.

Prescription drugs kill more people than illegal drugs. We also learned that nobody in the state of Florida died from marijuana in 2007.

The fact that nobody died from marijuana in Florida led me to wonder, is it even humanely possible to die from an overdose of weed?

June saw Europe go nuts with Euro Cup fever. So I decided to list 10 things that annoy me about soccer.

John McCain might be old and decrepit now, but in his youth there were times that his schlong had to work overtime. Here’s some straight talk on John McCain’s womanizing.

Something is wrong with American beef. So much so that Koreans are going completely ape shit over it.

Barack Obama clinched the democratic nomination on June 4th. It was a long road and I took a fun look back at the process.

So out of this frustration, a website has formed called Ex-Hillary Clinton Supporters for John McCain. The site boasts that it has 35,000 members and is growing. The site itself isn’t very informative and the front page includes 2 pictures, one where it shows Obama looking like he is ignoring Hillary Clinton and the other with John McCain smiling at her. In a nutshell, it’s total bullshit.

The site is also moderated to only include comments that bash Barack Obama and praise Hillary Clinton and John McCain. You can also donate to the site to help in the upkeep of moderating such wonderful comments like “I will not vote for the affirmative action candidate” and such. Yes, there is a new law that requires that a minority candidate be the presidential nominee of a major party once every 200 years. duh!
