Good News Bad News:

I apologize to the faithful readers of our blog (we've already had hundreds of unique visitors! thanks guys!), because I promised a weekly topic, and have slacked off. But without further ado, this week's installment of Good News, Bad News (Culture of the Week coming soon).

Good news for this week is that a flood of conservative thinkers and writers are jumping ship and joining the democratic camp. Christopher Buckley (son of the late William F. Buckley, Jr. who is essentially the godfather of the conservative movement in the United States) wrote a thoughtful and impassioned endorsement of Obama a couple of weeks ago. Of course, there's my main man Colin Powell, and now the former Bush White House Spokesman Scott McClellan and former Republican Governor of Massachusetts William Weld have both officially endorsed Obama. McClellan did his on D.L. Hughley's new comedy show on CNN (which, by the way, I think I have some beef with. More to come on that).

But the best news is a massive endorsement by a pair of famous twins, whose father is a household name. Props to ABond:



The bad news? School shootings are still very real in the USA. Thoughts are prayers are with everyone at Univ. of Central Arkansas.

More bad news? The surge isn't working. But not in the way you think (or don't think). The electrical 'surge' that powers the water pump 'surge' that is supposed to 'surge' waste water and treat Iraq's sewage systems (on the American watch and wallet), isn't working. We say that we want to leave Democracy in our aggressive, trigger-happy wake as Americans, but looks like we're leaving a whole bunch of other shit, too. And we're not very good at doing either, it seems, without overstaying our welcome and spending way too much money. That, I suppose, is the American way.

Those are my two cents, and they will be properly disposed of at the end of this message. Read more!

Colin Powell endorses who?! Obama?! What?
Colin Powell is pretty much like Morgan Freeman; he is the man. What he says goes. If he says vote for Barack Obama, you vote for Obama. The former Republican Secretary of State of the current president endorses... a democrat! Watch it via Meet the Press:



Fox News at it again!
This time fox news refuses to accept that Bill Ayers and Barack Obama don't 'pall' around with each other. Check out the picture they have of Ayers from 2001! They can't even be tactful about it! I actually laugh at this stuff.



I had a problem with McCain and this whole Bill Ayers situation because he knows and reassures people that Obama is not a terrorist but he and his campaign haven't eased up with the Bill Ayers associations. McCain, however, has recently 'defended' Obama at rallies. Shout out to Jen for this one:



Palin, however, is still stupid. Check this video out. I won't describe the 20 second clip... it's worth a peek, believe me! Especially if you're voting in New Hampshire! Shout out to Jen again:



Also, the Governor and future... still Governor of Alaska was on Saturday Night Live this weekend. Go to www.nbc.com to check that out. Haven't seen it yet but I'm assuming that she got lucky SNL isn't a complete improv show because she would have failed horribly... not like she hasn't done so already.
