viking kittens

i've been looking for this for years. rathergood.com took it off their site and then it was temporarily hidden... BUT, thanks to youtube, it has resurfaced!



perhaps the greatest part of this video is finally being able to understand the lyrics of "Immigrant Song" by led zeppelin.

mccain calls wife trollop, cunt

"hey, it's just been a long day"

John McCain's temper is well documented. He's called opponents and colleagues "shitheads," "assholes" and in at least one case "a fucking jerk."...

...At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain's hair and said, "You're getting a little thin up there." McCain's face reddened, and he responded:

"At least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt."


McCain's excuse was that it had been a long day.

If elected president of the United States, McCain would have many long days.

State Department employees snooped through the passport files of three presidential candidates - Sens. Barack Obama, Hillary Rodham Clinton and John McCain - and the department's inspector general is investigating.

(snip)

The incidents raise questions as to whether the information was accessed for political purposes and why two contractors involved in the Obama search were dismissed before investigators had a chance to interview them. It recalled an incident in 1992, when a Republican political appointee at the State Department was demoted over a search of presidential candidate Bill Clinton's passport records. At the time, Clinton was challenging President George H.W. Bush.

McCormack said one of the individuals who accessed Obama's files also reviewed McCain's file earlier this year. This contract employee has been reprimanded, but not fired. The individual no longer has access to passport records, he said.
