Jill Biden Is My New Favorite Person

By Jon, January 20, 2009 7:27 am

Not only is she kinda hot, but Jill Biden let a doozy slip when she and her husband, Vice President-elect Joe Biden made an appearance on Oprah yesterday.

Apparently Biden had his pick between VP and Secretary of State, and Hillary got stuck with whatever was left over. HAHA. That’s what we like to refer to as a DAGGER! in these here parts.

Is it just me or does Joe Biden look like the kind of guy who’d just punch you in the face if the disagreement got a little too heated?

Black Panthers Make Voting Easy In North Philadelphia

By Jon, November 4, 2008 5:56 pm

Apparently the Black Panthers went out of there way this morning to provide “security” for one polling location in West Philadelphia. One intrepid UPenn student got this story started with a camera phone. I had no idea that the Black Panthers will still active … and more importantly that those sweet berets and night sticks are standard issue at 9:00 in the morning.

Oh and Fox News totally ran with this news story. Poor Rick Levanthal almost got his ass kicked …

Isn’t democracy grand?

Seriously, These People Are Voting Tomorrow

By Jon, November 3, 2008 10:53 pm

If these videos do not make you want to perform Seppuku before you head to the polls tomorrow, I don’t know what will. Nothing is more frustrating about the democratic process is that absolute fucking idiots are afforded the opportunity to participate in deciding who are next leaders will be.

I had no idea that Obama was going to pay for mortgages and gas. Where was that in his economic plan? I must have missed that the first time around. And no I’m just not picking on Obama supporters. McCain people can be just as bad … like this crazy old lady.

This kind of stuff makes me yearn for a legitimate third party option. None of this Ralph Nader or Cynthia McKinney bull shit, but an honest to god “party” that exists outside the traditional political machinations of Washington DC. Shit, I even voted for Ron Paul in the Pennsylvania primary … because honestly I’m not impressed either way. As of 10:00pm on Election Day Eve … I’m still undecided

A Heartbeat Away …

By Jon, October 2, 2008 12:00 pm

By no means do I have any intentions to swing this blog over into the political arena, but this video mash-up of Miss Teen South Carolina and Gov. Sarah Palin is just too good not to post.

And Now For Something Completely Different

By Jon, October 1, 2008 3:40 pm

Politics have always been of particular interest to me. The mechanisms and motivations behind the American political system are beyond rational comprehension, which is abundantly evident considering this current election cycle. Since I became politically ‘aware’ I have always identified myself as a conservative. I believe in fiscal responsibility, national defense, and low taxes. I have no desire or want for the American government to get involved in legislating my activities on a personal level. I also maintain a general disdain for democrats and their liberal ilk.

In college I became very active. I found myself a member in good standing of the College Republicans, attending rallies and protests, even volunteering for the Bush/Cheney 2004 re-election campaign. Shit, I was even a “blogger for Bush”. Four years later and I don’t know if it was the stagnation in Iraq, or Bush’s inability to secure our borders … but I’ve become wholly indifferent to the political process.

With the election just over thirty days away, I really don’t care who lands in office. On one hand I firmly believe that the Republicans deserve a time out. They’ve fucked up pretty bad. On the other, there is just something about checking off anything in the “D” column that gives me douche chills up my spine. In my heart of hearts I really want to vote for McCain. If anyone could ever say to America, “Hey you owe me one” it’s this guy. I held out hope that his running mate would get me off the fence. Sadly, Sarah Palin does nothing for me … politically. Sure she’s good to look at, and boy I do enjoy her daughter of questionable morals.

I have no I dead what am I going to do come November 4th. Will I follow my conservative instincts and join the McCainiacs? Or will be a part of the Barack Attack on the White House?

Super Tuesday II Link Dump

By Jon, March 4, 2008 11:50 am

So apparently the unyielding primary season is enjoying its own sequel today, Super Tuesday II. I can only hope that the Hydra that is Hillary Clinton is finally put away by all of those Obamaniacs. Anyway, enjoy today’s link dump.

Dennis Kucinich, Lover of Fine Wine & UFOs

By Jon, October 31, 2007 4:00 pm

We all knew that Rep. Dennis Kucinich was batshit crazy but this clip from the Democratic debate, courtesy of Philadelphia Will Do the country will finally realize that he is a raving lunatic.

Tim Russert was rather tool-like, but at least we now know that 14% of Americans have seen a UFO. If I were a Democrat (which I’m not) I would be inclined to vote for this crazy, Gollum looking man.

Also if you head over to his official website, you can enter a raffle (via donation) to go on a double date with Rep. Kucinich and his wife to the eating establishment of your choosing. I don’t know about you guys, but I’m going smash my Spider-Man piggy bank as soon as I get home so I can get a crack at this opportunity. Can you imagine the dinner conversation? It would probably involve him telling stories about his Troll collection, or the time he got a peak down Nancy Pelosi’s skirt. Anyway, it’s a matter of months before Kucinich’s campaign implodes, but at least til then he’ll keep us entertained.
