senator obama, are you mad at me?

unfortunately, NBC/SNL has removed the full video clip of the mock obama/clinton debate from youtube and their own website. particularly absent is the moment when the debate moderators ask obama if he is comfortable, and if he needs another cushion.

still, this shows the gist of the skit:

like hope, but different

you know, i have to admit i feel a bit sorry for mcain, given the severe beating he's about to receive for the next 10 months... from liberals/democrats and from his own party (as coulter and limbaugh have already demonstrated). after all, the man was a war hero and a pow and suffered tremendously for this country.

but this is just too good not to post...

bush's surge speech - 9/14/07

THE PRESIDENT: Good evening. In the life of all imperialistic military empires, there come brief, fleeting moments that decide the direction of a multinational corporation masquerading as a democratic nation, and reveal the character of its blue-blooded aristocrats, conniving religious hucksters and corrupt, back-slapping robber barons. We have now been suspended in such a moment for over six calendar years.

Supreme Court Declares George Bush Winner of Florida Primaries (both!)

In a stunning political development this evening, the Florida Supreme Court has intervened in the Florida Republican Primary and declared George W. Bush the winner over Mitt Romney, John McCain, Rudy Giuliani, and Mike Huckabee.

The Florida Supreme Court has announced as well that George W. Bush is also the winner of the Democratic Primary over Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and John Edwards!

"Most of our citizens are not able to vote anyway. We've got lots of old, retired Jews from up north who sit around all day playing shuffleboard and crowd the lines at the buffets. We've also got lots of Cubans who don't speak English and spend all of their time using drugs and trying to kill each other. The rest of our citizens are running around on the beach half naked trying to get a cameo on CSI Miami or are getting ready to serve lots of beer to alcoholic teens for spring break."

"Since none of those people have the time to vote, we just did it for them."
