The Gaffe Machine keeps on keeping on!
Barry Obama is prone to making some strange statements, and for an ‘eloquent’ guy he sure gets confused pretty easily! Well here’s the latest chapter: at a rally in Terre Haute, Indiana, it appears that the Golden Child belivies himself to already be president!
You know, it’s gotta be about time that his most dedicated acolytes start considering that they may have backed the wrong horse in this race.
What a massacre…
US Weekly didn’t waste any time in publishing a cover story/hit piece on GOP VP Nominee Sarah Palin. Fox News rising star Megyn Kelly did a brief interview with a forgettable US Weekly editor, Bradley Jacobs, who ostensibly came down to defend the magazine but it quickly becomes clear that he is largely unfamiliar with the content of his own magazine’s cover story.
It’s really something to see this nervous, quivering fool haplessly try to defend US Magazine’s story, when it’s obvious that they didn’t have much of a commitment to publishing a fair story about the VP nominee.
If this was a boxing match the referee would have stopped it sometime after the first 30 seconds.

Obnoxious news personality Andream Mitchell was caught in a very difficult spot at the Republican National Convention. Reporting from the floor, she fell victiom to a swarm of runaway red, white, & blue balloons!
What a journalist!

Well, those that know me well know that one of my areas of expertise is the oil business and the energy industry as a whole. Indeed, now and then I will get calls from friends and acquaintances near and far, all across the fruited plain and even abroad. I have always been flattered by their reaching out to me when they have a question about the oil business or energy policy!
Well, now the truth can be told: everything I know about the oil business I learned watching the classic tv series Dallas in its first run! My education starts way back at the tender age of 10, when Dallas first debuted in the Spring of 1978!
For 14 long seasons I stuck with the folks at Dallas, through thick and thin! It’s really something that the series finally wrapped things up in 1991, when I was in my first year of law school!
The formula was simple - adapt the basic daytime soap opera approach to a weekly nighttime series, load up the cast, deliver pathos and PG rated sexual situations, and watch the ratings soar! And soar they did!

The GOP-Battlestar Galactica Connection
I noted on The SSC way back on August 29th, 7:30PM PST, that Sarah Palin reminded me a lot of the President on Battlestar Galactica, Laura Roslin (actress Mary McDonnell). Indeed, John McCain looks a whole lot like Colonel Saul Tigh (actor Michael Hogan) on the series, too!
Well, evidently I am not the only one who made that connection! A fan put this together - kudos! The resemblance is uncanny!

VP Nominee Sarah Palin knocks it out of the park
Enjoy Sarah Palin’s excellent and groundbreaking speech at the 2008 Republican National Convention! Special thanks to Conservative Funhouse for making the video available on YouTube!
This young lady is a natural!
PS: And Michelle, there’s only room for one Alpha Woman in the 2008 Presidential Race, and you ain’t it! 
She will have a lot of trophies before her time in DC is done!
Gotta like this political cartoon that comes to us from the talented pen of Brett Noel!

Wow, I love how the guy backs off at the end!
Uncle Newt Gingrich is interrviewd by MSNBC’s Ron Allen at the Republican National Convention, and towards the end Gingrich lays the smack down on a befuddled Allen, who dared push Newt’s buttons about Sarah Palin’s qualifications.
I always like how liberal elites usually look stunned when actually challeneged on their dubious assumptions. Right on!

Don LaFontaine, the voiceover king whose “In a world …” phrase on movie trailers was much copied — and much parodied — has died, according to media reports. He was 68.
LaFontaine died Monday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California, according to ETOnline, “Entertainment Tonight’s” Web site. He died from complications from pneumothorax, a collapsed lung that causes air to build in the pleural cavity, his agent, Vanessa Gilbert, told “ET.”
LaFontaine, who was born in Duluth, Minnesota, began as a voice actor in the mid-1960s while working as a recording engineer, according to his Web site. His strong, slightly gravelly voice was featured on trailers for thousands of films, including “The Godfather,” “Fatal Attraction” and “Terminator 2: Judgment Day.” For a time in the late ’70s, LaFontaine was the official voice of Paramount Pictures.
His favorite work was one he did for the 1980 film “The Elephant Man,” he said in interviews, but whether the film was Oscar-caliber or a bomb waiting to blow, he handled every assignment equally.
“My philosophy is that you have to really believe what you’re reading, even if you think the film’s a piece of junk,” he told Swindle magazine. “Even the worst picture is someone’s favorite film, and that someone is the fan I am always talking to.”
He also provided the voice for hundreds of commercials for companies such as General Motors, Ford, McDonald’s, Coca-Cola and many others, according to his Web site.
The good-humored LaFontaine was willing to poke fun at himself, particularly in a recent ad for Geico insurance, in which he gave dramatic flair to a woman’s story about her car accident. He also voiced the trailer for “The Simpsons Movie,” in which his descriptions were mimicked by commentary from the film’s characters.
But LaFontaine was most famous for his phrase “In a world …,” used by seemingly dozens of movies determined to create an otherworldly atmosphere.
LaFontaine told CNN that the scripts gave him the cues for his delivery.
“They dictate how they want to be read,” he told “Showbiz Tonight” in 2005. “It’s pretty much straightforward stuff because you know the context of the film generally going in. If it’s something like ‘King Kong,’ you have a pretty good idea of how you`re going to say it. It’s going to be a big adventure thing. And I let the [script] more or less guide what I’m going to say.”
He added that there was no secret to his movie trailer work: “I really think this is one of the few industries where everything is right up there,” he told CNN. “What you see is what you get.”
Still, he noted, it’s not like he could use his movie-trailer voice everywhere.
“If I tried to use that voice in public,” he said, “they’d be calling security.”
LaFontaine is survived by his wife, actress and singer Nita Whitaker, and three children, Christine, Skye and Elyse
The woman takes a nice picture…
Well, Palinmania is running wild across the fruited plain. And poor Barry must be upset that he was figuring that his unforgettable speech in Denver on Thursday night wouldn’t be forgotten by Friday morning!
So, since the GOP’s VP pick is so effervescent and photogenic, I am creating this special page with a gallery of pictures of the Governor of Alaska and future Vice President of the United States.
Enjoy!
She’s the one we’ve been waiting for…
This great video on YouTube demonstrates that Sarah Palin’s accomplishments are greater than the dem Golden Child, Barry Obama’s accomplishments. That’s what being a Community Organizer gets you, I suppose…
You go, girl!
