There must be something in the water these days, because lately it seems prominent politicians just can't seem to keep it in their pants. So here's a fun little list of some of the horniest politicians of recent memory.
Eliot Spitzer - Club President
David Patterson - Club Vice President
Kwame Kilpatrick - Member
Larry Craig - Honorary Member*
Witty comments chock full of innuendo appreciated. Oh and if there's someone you think should be on this list let me know.
*We may not have caught him having sex, but we did catch him trying to catch some nasty in a bathroom. And that alone nets him an honorary membership.

President for Sale!
I'd read several times before that many in the press consider Obama a master question dodger, but I had never really seen it for myself until last night.
While on Larry King Live Obama was asked by King if he would consider Clinton as a possible Vice President if he were to win the primaries. His answer was essentialy that it would be far to presumptive and arrogant for him assume that he'll even win at this point. King went on to ask Obama about his feelings about McCain, Obama answered that he respected McCain and that he looked forward to facing him in the general election.
Huh? Obama says he can't answer a question because it presumes that he'll be the Democrat in the general election, and then moments later, after being asked a question totally unrelated to the general election, he makes an unqualified claim that he'll be the one to face McCain in the general election. This is the man of honesty and integrity everybody loves?
Obama is a set of vague ideals and values meticulously packaged into one charismatic man being sold to the American people. Watching him is more like watching a television ad than it is like watching a Presidential candidate. This is why he dodges questions, because he has a specific image manufactured by his campaign that he cannot deviate from; because he isn't campaigning on the issues, he's campaigning on that image.

Obama Linked to Weathermen Underground
Sometime in 1995 then State Senator Alice Palmer introduced Obama as her hand picked successor to a group of prominent liberals at the home of William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. Ayers and Dohrn were both part of the radical anti-war group, the Weathermen Underground; the group was responsible for several bombings in the 70's meant to protest the war. The couple remain unrepentant, as recently as 2001 Ayers told the New York Times, "I don't regret setting bombs; I feel we didn't do enough."
Obama sat on at least two panels with Ayers, and from what little those involved are willing to tell the press they were at least on friendly terms with each other. This uniter's radical left leanings are becoming more clear every day.

You Fail!
Orwellian Double Speak disguised as Political Correctness strikes again.
Next thing you know failing grades will be relabeled as 'grades that represent your best! :D' And we wonder why our nation's youth continue to fall behind in education; we've failed our future.

Obama's a Fascist
Oh shit! Did he really just say that?
Ya...I did. And here's why:
"Fascism, above all, demands a leader sensitive to the feelings that course dimly through the crowd, someone who gives voice to its yearnings, however vague, who can magnify them, make them important, and focus them back onto himself so that he appears as their inevitable embodiment: 'Obama ’08.'"
The above comes from this review of Jonah Goldberg's new book, Liberal Fascism (which I look forward to reading soon) and it really strikes at what it is about Obama that truly terrifies me.
Now of course simply being charismatic doesn't make one a fascist; as Goldberg argues in his book fascism is not simply a synonym for 'evil', it was a particular ideology that in it's time was seriously considered by many, including many prominent American liberals of the time. So, what about Obama would drive me to call him a fascist? Just think of the bumper stickers one would expect to see sharing space with an "Obama '08!" sticker; again I quote from the review of Liberal Fascism,
"Fascism is inveterately hostile to religion: 'Curb Your God.' It thrives on action and grand designs: 'Think Globally, Act Locally.' It fetishizes youth: 'Listen to the Wisdom of Children.' It seeks to persecute an enemy it blames for all grievances, real or imagined: 'Impeach Bush, Torture Cheney.' It points the finger at international conspiracies: 'War Is Shell & ExxonMobil & Halliburton & Conoco-Phillips & ChevronTexaco & BP . . . ' It’s collectivist, expansionist, and nature loving: 'One People, One Planet, One Future.'"
Yup, Obama sure seems like a fascist to me; and what a shock, he isn't a scary evil Republican. I'm reminded of a comment George Carlin made on HBO's 'Real Time With Bill Maher', "when fascism comes to America, it will not be in brown and black shirts. It will not be with jackboots. It will be Nike sneakers and smiley shirts. Smiley-smiley."

The Transformation Is Complete!
I am officially a Reagan fan. While I may never be able to forgive President Reagan for ignoring the AIDS crisis as it slaughtered tens of thousands of men and women in the queer community, I can at least respect and admire his political vision, integrity and courage as on display in his first inaugural address. Though his religious speech in this address may send chills down the spines of those of us who have now seen the catastrophic results of the union of the Religious Right and Conservatism, I am convinced President Reagan would undo the damage caused by this union if given the chance.
As the 2008 Presidential candidates continue to campaign across the country we as a nation ought to look for the candidate who can deliver this kind of vision, honesty and pragmatism as they take the oath of office in 2009.

Let the Summer Blockbuster Season Commence!
Iron Man looks like its gearing up to be the next great comic book movie. Now let's just hope the movie is as fantastic as this trailer.
Oh, and Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark is just brilliant.
