John McCain Makes New Campaign Pledge

McCain's Tax Plan Rejected By His Economic Guru

John McCain on Alan Greenspan:

"Get ol' Alan Greenspan -- whether he's alive or dead. And um if he's dead, we'll put dark glasses on him and prop him up like they did at 'Weekend at Bernie's.'"

winkandanod at Washington Monthly:John McCain, of all people, should not reference "Weekend at Bernie's."

The potential karmic/ironic blowback is just too strong.
Perhaps this is why Greenspan rejected McCain's tax plan

Hot? ...............Not

Nows, some peoples, even libberals, might be thinkin' that Sarah Palin is a hottie. Well, I know I been married to better lookin' women than that, if you know what I mean. Even the GOP must think she some kind of hog when they get offended by Senator Barack Obama's "lipstick on a pig" statement" and think he must be referrin' to her.
Now, I will admit, that on a Saturday night round closin' time, I'd be sidlin' up to her, but that don't make her necessarily hot, if you know what I mean. It's jest one of them relative things, like if she was standin' next to Whoopi Goldberg or somethin'.
F'rinstance, if she was to have known to have sampled from the other side of the buffet, if you know what I mean, that would make her hot. But even if she had, her staunch stand against gay rights cancels that out and make her more of a hypocrite than a hottie.
Or, if the rumored stories of Sarah Palin havin' a adulterous affair are true, that would make her hot, because nothin's hotter than a cheatin' woman (unless you're the one she's cheatin' on, if you know what I mean). Of course, if she was committing adultery, yet still clinging to her Bible bangin' beliefs, that would once again make her a hypocrite, and not hot.
No, I'm sorry, there's no way you could consider Sarah Palin hot. Not even in Alaska, where she was only a runner-up in a beauty contest, if you know what I mean.

A Long Way To Go And A Short Time To Get There

It is with the deepest sadness that we here at the American Insurgency report the passing of one of the greatest entertainment legends of our time, Mr. Jerry Reed. Mr. Reed was a singer/songwriter/session musician/actor whose role as Cletus in all three Smokey and the Bandit movies not only developed the blueprint for good ole boys every where, but also was the namesake of my next door neighbor, Cletus. Mr. Reed also appeared in the "New Scooby Doo Movies" in the seventies, playing himself.
A session player in Nashville in the sixties, Jerry played guitar with Elvis on "U S Male" and "Guitar Man", two songs Reed also wrote.
In the seventies, Mr. Reed had a string of hits starting with "When You're Hot, You're Hot", "Amos Moses" (a personal favorite), "East Bound And Down" (from the first Smokey and the Bandit movie) before having his last hit in 1983 with "She Got The Goldmine (And I Got The Shaft)".
Mr. Reed (born Jerry Reed Hubbard) died September 4 from emphysema at his home in the Nashville suburb of Brentwood. He was 71.

Mama Don't Always Know Best

The pregnancy of young Bristol Palin should be called into question as an issue in this campaign. If Sarah palin can't protect her daughter from those guys what wants to screw with her, how 's she gonna stop the terrorists from screwin' with us?
