Just a reminder: Obama’s “infomercial” is tonight at 8 PM. He’s reportedly paid somewhere between $3 and 5 million dollars for this half hour block of air time on NBC, CBS, FOX, Univision, BET, MSNBC, and TV One to make one last argument that the voters should make him the next President. This may fall into the category of overkill since it would appear according to polls that the voters already intend to make him the next leader of the free world, but they’re probably still paranoid since New Hampshire when he was up ahead in the polls by double digits and still lost to Hillary.
But still… Obama infomericial? This sounds interesting. And slightly extravagant. And almost, dare I say, fascinating. Could it really hurt his chances for anything? I doubt it. Are we worried he’ll come off as more mature or informed? Probably not. Plus, he’s got a lot of McCain’s more recent bullshit, like the claims of socialism (if you have any idea of how taxes in this country work, you really can’t talk about socialism or complain about ”spreading the wealth around”) and this bullshit about being “tested,” to address in something larger than just a sound bite.
This one’s for Benjamin Light:
If you guessed, you guessed right: The title of this post is a line in the Bob Dylan song, “Subterranean Homesick Blues,” which is also where the Weatherman got their name from. That’s the group you’ve heard about quite a bit lately since one of their members is William Ayers, “the domestic terrorist that Barack Obama’s been palling around with,” according to Senator McCrazyballs and Governor Palin.
Personally, this is the only endorsement I need:
But Jay-Z suggests you vote for Obama too. As does Josh from The West Wing and Al Bundy and George’s dad.
What a shock that the young college Republican was lying about being attacked by an Obama supporter.
Obama is Robin Hood! He’s going to steal from the rich and give to the poor! No, not really.
Deficit, deficit, deficit!
“Seven days, John.”
Apparently three out of five nights a week, Keith Olbermann takes a hot steamy dump on Bill O’Reilly’s ratings. Also, no one watches Lou Dobbs. He’s the most Summer’s Eve-est of talking heads.
There’s voting problems in some states? Fucking shocking. Shocking!
What are the candidates hiding?
Fuck debates, what Americans really want to see in settling this challenge is an Obama/McCain Dance Off! Barack’s Dance Crew vs. McCain’s Grand Ole Posse. There’s some serious serving going on here:
Harrison Ford voted best movie President.
Palin says that Obama will rewrite the constitution in Karl Marx’s image. Sigh. Win or lose, many see her as the future of the Republican party. “Anyone who knows anything of history knows that great social changes are impossible without feminine upheaval.”
Young, Republican, and inspired by Palin. Ladies, you are obviously getting yourself ready for some disappointment. And I am just the man for your downward spiral.
Well, Palin does have a bigger, better, brighter future in the party than this “pro-America” nutjob.
John McCain puts women’s health where it belongs: In derisive air quotes!
Apparently more people are cheating on their spouses these days. You don’t realize it, but that story is totally about me.
California candidate apologies for sultry robo call.
Unrelated, Battlestar Galactica comes back soon, yes?
Undecided voters: Who the fuck are these people and seriously, what the fuck is wrong with them?
And last, but not least: 5% of the Florida votes who already voted… don’t know who they voted for.
