In a shocking move today,republican V.P. nominee Sarah Palin has openly challenged democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama to a game of basketball, saying that the winning side should get to decide who gets to be the president for the next four years. Obama could not be reached for comment but one of his advisors said that he was “putting deep thought into the offer.” Palin, smelling fear from Obama and the democratic party egged the challenge on using both striking, sexist, and racist remarks in an effort to force Obama to take her up on the challenge. |
Palin grabbed the moment and denounced Obama by saying that “he is afraid to play a women in a basketball game, how can he be expected to run the country?”. She even went as far as to remark “any black man that can’t beat a white women in a game of hoops is not fit to be the commander-in-chief.” Palin said this while simultaneously spinning five basketballs on one hand while balancing another five on the knuckles of her other hand. Although taken back by the stinging remarks, one Barack Obama supporter admitted that “he would not be able to vote for a brother if he failed to beat a white girl in a game of hoops” and was quoted in saying that is a task “that every honorable black man should be easily able to accomplish.” Even Charles Barkley, a strong Obama supporter, said Obama should take up the challenge and “put the bitch in her place.” Palin gave Obama an ultimatum of three days to accept her challenge or admit defeat and withdraw from the presidential race. Analysts say this may be Obama’s biggest challenge yet in his quest for the presidency. Palin also challenged Obama to contests of kayaking, skiing, and wrestling polar bears with bare hands saying that “I’d pwn his sorry ass anytime, anywhere.”
Obama said he was “at a loss of words” at how to respond.

 As you can see, McCain is involved with the wrong people. |
(AP)Following the shocking discovery that Sarah Palin is an evil space alien, there has been evidence that was uncovered that suggests that John McCain is part of a vicious Ninja group that engages in mass child molestation. Pictures like the one shown with this article have popped up everywhere, and as crappy as they are, the evidence is undeniable. In fact, there is much speculation now that much of McCain’s “foreign policy experience” has consisted of secret meetings with this foreign ninja clan in their attempt to kidnap young children for there own purposes of pleasure. |
McCain is supposedly working with evil warlord Tokugawa around the world in attempts to locate poor families, orphan children, and other easy targets for the purposes of their operation. Once a target is identified, ninjas are sent in to kill all relatives, friends, and anyone who try to oppose their agenda before confiscating the young child. It has been rumored that McCain himself is a veteran of such activities having killed over 300 innocient victims in combat with a Katana blade. He is also accused of having ninja skills such as sticking to walls and walking on water. Furthermore, there has been evidence that McCain can even use “ninja magic” such as suddenly disappearing and appearing out of nowhere. Most investigators are refusing to accept this investigation because of fear of being killed by a ninja. However, a few brave souls are working around the clock to convict McCain of these charges. I hear that the team sent from Daily Kos is working especially hard on this case. If they are successful and are not killed by ninjas in the process, this would ensure Barack Obama the whitehouse, unless he is found to be an evil space alien like Sarah Palin.

(AP)In the midst of all the scandals revolving around republican V.P. Candidate Sarah Palin including allegations that her child is actually her grandchild, that she was part of the Alaskan independence party, and that there were naked pictures of her online, we have the most breaking new yet: Sarah Palin has been found to be an evil gay space alien that is trying to entrance humanity in a hypnotic spell and make us all slaves to the evil empire. Investigators have been summoned to put Mrs. Palin under severe scrutiny to see if this allegation is true or not. |
In the formal charge, there was suspected evidence that Sarah Palin is actually working undercover in human disguise for the evil galatic overlord Xeon and is on a secret mission on Earth to plant a mind-control device that would be used to turn all of humanity into mindless slaves. Further claims are that democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama is also an evil space alien that is working with Sarah Palin to ensure that humanity becomes mindles slaves to the evil alien empire. Although there is no real evidence supporting these allegations, there have been some photo-shopped images that are somewhat convincing of the case against both Sarah Palin and Barack Obama. If investigators are to find that these allegations are true and that Sarah Palin and Barack Obama are both in fact evil space aliens working under the alien overlord Xeon, this scandal would turn out to be the biggest one of all time in the face of American politics. It would also give the defense secretary more weight in argueing for the orbital defense shield which was originally intended to intercept ICBM’s coming towards the United States and its allies but now will be given additional capabilities to intercept alien spaceships as well.
Now, you’ve probably guessed that this story is not true. But it does show you the retarded-ness of American politics. Tabloids, and not issues and facts have been deciding who wins elections for the longest time. Some stories that have had effect with American people include:
Now, these may not be as far-fetched as being an evil space-alien but they come pretty close.Seriously, I question the wisdom of democracy when people show themselves to be swayed by tabloids such as these.

In the wake of Hurricane Gustav, the now category 4 storm that threatens Louisiana, Texas, and Mississippi, the GOP convention has to make some major “adjustments”. They are talking about either canceling the first two days or pushing the convention back because of the state of emergency the country is now in.
President Bush will not be attending the convention live since he has to deal with hurricane issues but he will address the convention via live satellite feed. Several delegates have also gone back to their home states and McCain himself wants to get to a hurricane-affected place as soon as possible.
President Bush and V.P. Dick Cheney are pulling out all the stops to respond to his hurricane as they do not want to be criticized the way they were for Hurricane Katrina.
As bad as this may sound, this may turn out to be good for the GOP as they could use this event to score some major PR points. By responding quickly and efficiently an leading the country out of disaster effectively, it would up presidential approval ratings and help their election in November. Remember that approval ratings were at an all-time high after the 9/11 incident. Since the convention is in Minnesota and the disaster is somewhere far away, they could have proceeded but instead decided to postpone the convention or cancel a few days to show their concern for the country at large. I think if they do this right, they can indeed get to the heart of many Americans and score some major votes. It’ll be interesting to see how it all turns out.

Hurricane Gustav reaches category 4
Published in Random News/thoughts |
Hurricane Gustav, unlike other hurricanes that have hit shore, has gained in strength and now is considered a category 4 hurricane. The winds of the storm have topped 145 miles per hour. Cuba, its next likely target has ordered 200,000 people to evacuate their homes in the face of the oncoming storm. In the United States Thousands have fled New Orleans due to a possible landfall. Such an event reminds me of Hurricane Katrina only a few years back, the storm that left over 1500 dead in its wake. |
But Gustav could be even more devastating than Katrina as its hurricane level is higher. It is rated as a category four storm while Katrina was only rated as a category three. While the death toll will not be as high due to the early evacuation, the damage might be just as bad and New Orleans might need another few years to vent out the water that will be brought by Gustav.
Let this be a lesson to future cities that are to be built. If you are building near a coast, make sure the height of your city is above sea level, not below it. Otherwise you might suffer the same fate as New Orleans. The city has not fully recovered from Katrina yet. How long will it take to recover from Gustav if it hits?
