I'm baaaaaaaaaack!

After a computer crash, and just not caring for a while, I've decided to refire this puppy up. I promise (like a good politician) that i'll post more often. ;)

To Wesley Clark!

In the Fark forums about Wesley Clark's speeding ticket. Something fun happened. Remember the Bill Brasky skit from SNL? Well the new Bill Brasky seems to be Wesley Clark. Check them out (requires a little bit of scrolling and avoidance of the flames). My personal favorite is: "Ever since the ticket, Wesley Clark has carried the motorcade on his back, and no cop could catch up to him to give him a ticket.
TO WESLEY CLARK!"

Hey I was right about something!

I heard a rumor about a week and a half ago that Bush might dumb Cheney for another VP. The name that's on the short-short list is Rudy Giuliani. Well MSNBC has confirmed that the rumor exists. (Hey, it's soemthing). Now you may ask why would Bush do this? Easy. Multiple reasons.

1)The unpopularity of the war. Bush may think in his heart of hearts that the war was the right thing do but despite what people think he isn't stupid. He can push that he nabbed Saddam but I would downplay the war as much as possible.

2)Haliburton. You may not have heard about it, but there are investigations going on Capitol Hill. Cheney used to work for Haliburton and they got their reconstruction contract without hearings or bidding. It'll probably pick up speed as the year goes on. Its possible that IF they get reelected Bush will have to pick a new VP before the midterms because the Democrats will probably throw Cheney out.

3)Electoral College. Until Cheney, the primary roll of a VP was to help carry a region/State that the canidate has no hope in. Bush lost big in 2000 in the Northeast especially New York. (Yes, yes Bush lost the popular vote blah blah blah, Bush didn't win the election). Giuliani is from (duh) New York. New Yorkers still love him. He goes on the ticket, its a good bet that Bush carries New York and its whopping 31 Electoral Votes. Not mention New Jersey and the other surrounding States.

4)Cheney's Health. Cheney's not in the greatest of shape. He's had at least one bypass, and let's face it he's a heartbeat from not being Vice-President any longer. That and it's probably the public reason Bush will dump him.

So we'll see what happens over the next 3 or 4 months when the conventions hit. I'll keep you posted.

In a bit of old news...

I was savin this nugget for a while now, it seems kinda relevant after his arrest for domestic violence. Back in December, Colin Powell appointed James Brown, the Godfather of Soul, to the new position in the State Department. The Position? Secretary of Soul and Foreign Minister of Funk. Of course if he gets convicted, he might lose his job. Don't think I've got enough Funk in me to take it though.

Now If you'll excuse me I'm going to practice throwing Fireballs. It's only a half circle motion from back to front....
