The real story on john mccain

This excellent Rolling Stones expose finally digs into the persistent rumors that have dogged McCain for years but that no one has been brave enough to examine for fear of being labeled unpatriotic. Read on to see the truth about his war record, his time as an "heroic" POW, his relationship to his crippled wife, and his overall personal demeanor.

This is too true OR joke of the day

While walking down the street one day a US senator is tragically hit by a truck and dies. His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.

'Welcome to heaven,' says St. Peter. 'Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you.'

'No problem, just let me in,' says the senator.

'Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity.'

'Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven,' says the senator.

'I'm sorry, but we have our rules.' And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him.

Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people.

They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and champagne.

Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that before he realizes it, it is time to go.

Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises...

The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him.

'Now it's time to visit heaven.'

So, 24 hours pass with the senator joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.

'Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity.'

The senator reflects for a minute, then answers: 'Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell.'

So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.

Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage.

He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above...

The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder. 'I don't understand,' stammers the senator. 'Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?'

The devil looks at him, smiles and says.......

'Yesterday we were campaigning. Today you voted.

The disadvantages of a "liberal supermajority"

The new Wall Street Journal in all its Rupert Murdoch grandiosity has flushed away any air of integrity or neutrality that it once had. It's widely known that the Journal is in the tank for big business republicans, but this fear-mongering article about the ills of a liberal majority in the senate and Barack Obama in the White house is a new low. The article continues to try to tie Obama to ACORN and says that under his rule ACORN would acheive its so called goal of stacking the voter rolls through nationwide same day registration. It goes on to say that he would reward terrorists by trying them in civilian court. Such an unfortunate turn for a once impeachable paper.

And they say mccain has the elderly vote cinched

As the BBC reported this week, 106 year old nun Cecilia Gaudette, who has spent the last 50 years living in a convent in Rome and last voted for Dwight D. Eisenhower has just registered to vote. Guess who she is casting her ballot for.

My mom heard about this great investment opportunity...

But when she called to find out more she got cut off.


In other exciting news from SNL, Sarah Palin is rumored to be appearing this Saturday. According to a recent blogpost on the times website:

"Though neither the campaign nor the show has formally announced she will be there, the denials that greeted the previous rumors of Ms. Palin’s appearance have been replaced by a simple comment from the show: 'We are not confirming anything.'"

It's not often that you see educated individuals speaking on behalf of mccain

Well atleast 2/5 had some idea of what they were talking about.

Best thai restaurant in williamsburg

For the last several weeks, all of the Thai resaurants in Williamsburg have been unknowingly involved in a face-off to see who has the best food. I have been basing my evaluations on the following criteria:

Best Green Curry
Best Chicken Satay w/ Peanut Sauce
Stickiness of Rice
Delivery Time (lunch)

When two pm rolls around I scroll systematically through the Menupages listing of restaurants in the area (14 in total) and, after repeating my telephone number and address an average of three times I place my green curry order.

I will keep you updated as results come in.

My dad told me this bedtime story last night OR how the bailout works

Young Chuck moved to Texas and bought a Donkey from a farmer for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the Donkey the next day.

The next day he drove up and said, 'Sorry son, but I have some bad News, the donkey died.' Chuck replied, 'Well, then just give me my money back.' The farmer said, 'Can't do that. I went and spent it already.'

Chuck said, 'Ok, then, just bring me the dead donkey.' The farmer asked, 'What ya gonna do with him? Chuck said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.' The farmer said You can't raffle off a dead donkey!' Chuck said, 'Sure I can Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead.' A month later, the farmer met up with Chuck and asked, 'What happened with that dead donkey?'

Chuck said, 'I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made a profit of $900.

The farmer said, 'Didn't anyone complain?' Chuck replied, 'Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back.' Chuck now works for Goldman Sachs.

Politics is bullshit?

I disagree with the basic tenet of this video which is basically that Barack Obama's eloquence and ability to bring people together is a good enough reason to vote for him. However I of course support Barack and think this video has the ability to win over some undecided voters. Furthermore, I think it will go viral and I want to be ahead of the curve.

'Bummy' Williamsburg Hipsters Proven to Have $400,000 in Accounts

One-man gentrification-play performer Danny Hoch, profiled in the Observer today, has lived in the neighborhood for twenty years. He's fascinated by the collision of the formerly downtrodden area's old and new residents. One such person: his neighbor, an "old school Puerto Rican cat," who watches the ATM machine on Grand Street and retrieves the receipts that hipsters leave behind, just to see how much money they have in their bank accounts.

"He's like, 'Yo, these kids be lookin' bummy, I mean the bummiest, motherfucking, cheap looking kids and they got like $150,000 in their savings account, $280,000 in their savings account. This one motherfucker never takes a bath and he got like $400,000. He just leaves his receipts there in the machine.'"
