          Wow you people are dense.

          I mean really, every one of you is clearly analytical brain hemisphere person.

          None of you are creative brain hemisphere people.

          If you were you would understand its a hidden message.

          The person represents the Democratic Party.

          He is standing on the edge of the cliff.

          Arms outstretched and about to leap over the edge as he sacrifices himself to the obama.

          The outstretched arms represent hope. Hope that if he flip flops his arms fast enough he might be able to slow his descent long enough for them to deploy a giant gasbag below him to cushion his fall.

          Not pictured is the giant gasbag himself, Biden.

        That’s what it was back in MY day!!

        As in: “Is that a pickle in your pocket, or are you happy to see me?”

        As for the ad, that, to me, is the straw that broke the camel’s back. That’s Arthur Fonzarelli “jumping the shark.” That’s Over the Top of the Top.

        It’s gotten to the point where it’s not stupid, it’s BEYOND STUPID.

    CALIFORNIA VOTERS MARCH to COMMEMORATE THE 88th ANNIVERSARY OF WOMEN’S SUFFRAGE AND to CELEBRATE
    the CANDIDACY OF SENATOR HILLARY CLINTON

    SAN FRANCISCO, CA, 2008 – Political supporters and women’s rights advocates will gather in San Francisco on Tuesday August 26th to commemorate the anniversary of Women’s Voting Rights and celebrate the campaign of Senator Clinton. The March will begin at 5 p.m. in front of the Ferry Building and end with a rally at the UN Plaza.

    The San Francisco event is one of several nationwide marches, sponsored by the 18 Million Voices / Rise Hillary Rise grassroots organization, to be held simultaneously with nineteen other cities around the country, and in conjunction with the main march at the Democratic Convention in Denver, Colorado.

    The group hopes to unite those who campaigned and voted for Hillary Clinton in the primaries as well as men and women who want to advance women’s equality by building a new movement in support of women’s rights and gender equality.

    Clinton ran an historical campaign that marked a milestone for women in politics. On June 7, 2008 Clinton suspended her campaign and remarked,

    “In the future, it will be unremarkable for a woman to win primary state victories, unremarkable to have a woman in a close race to be our nominee, unremarkable to think that a woman can be the president of the United States. And that is truly remarkable.”

    Mae Rose Tengsico, California State Organizer of the event, said, “We want to mark the 88th anniversary of women receiving the right to vote by honoring the milestone achievement of Hillary Clinton, who has gone further than any woman in campaigning for the Presidency.”

    The marchers also want to point out that those who stooped to using sexism during the primary campaign have instigated a stronger and more united effort to end discrimination based on gender.

    “We saw a great deal of misogyny directed at Hillary Clinton and her supporters by the media and others,” said Ms. Tengsico. “We want to make a statement that this has united women who want to work for changes in the political process. As Hillary said when she suspended her campaign: ‘There are no acceptable limits, and there are no acceptable prejudices in the 21st century.’”

    and to advocate for Women’s Rights worldwide.

    As I watch the MSM and obots painfully spin what can only be described as one of the most underwhelming Dem VP picks in recent memory, I’ve noticed two trends . The first is that the MSM are focusing on Biden’s foreign policy gravitas, while ignoring his gaffes and frequent presidential failures. The obots, on the other hand, are trying to figure out why Obama picked Biden, ignoring the fact that it was Biden who picked Obama, not the other way around. No one else with serious foreign policy credentials was interested. One nutty chattering head dared to suggest that Biden ‘completed’ Obama, a clear reference to Jerry Maguire.

    I’d like to suggest another trope.

    Obama/Biden was inevitable, not because Biden ‘completes’ Obama, but because the two men are actually very similar. They are two pathologically slick presidential candidates, drawing inspiration from PT Barnum rather than FDR. Given Obama’s summer of hell, a summer in which practically everything that could go wrong did go wrong, we should have seen this ticket coming.

    In a year in which the democratic party is dominated by delusional cultists, drunk on kool-aid, searching desperately for an symbolic, empty-headed messiah, who is better positioned to pair up with a flim-flam artist than a used-car salesman? This is a match made in electoral purgatory. They are perfect for each other. When the Titanic sinks, Biden will go back to playing golf and the talk shows, and Obama will go back to Rev. Wright and the obots.

      Let’s make sure that when Obama goes back to Chicago and Biden goes back to playing golf, that Dean, Pelosi, Brazille, Kerry, Reid, Oprah and all the other political and show biz obots go back to their caves.

      Vote them out of office and put the rest out of work.

      We need to stop watching programs (e.g., Oprah) and networks (e.g., MSNBC) that favor Obama and not purchase anything that Oprah and other Obama show biz obots endorse or sell.

      They all need viewers to get advertising. Without viewers, they have no advertising dollars. Without advertising, the networks cannot pay people like Olbermann millions to be a PR person for politicians like Obama.

      • Bamboozled

        I agree. I stopped watching those channels and buying anything Oprah endorsed back in Dec. ’07. Hit ‘em where it hurts. Money and ratings.

    *********************************************************************************

    PLEASE POST THIS AND GET THE WORD OUT.

    One day before the start of the Democratic National Convention, http://www.larrysinclair0926.com and http://www.larryinclairbarackobama.com has been suspended by Startlogic.

    Upon contacting of Startlogic they reason’s for the suspension of these web sites sounds insincere. Startlogic claims that the sites have been suspended due to an unforeseen amount of traffice and strain on the server and that startlogic cannot unsuspend the account nor can they allow for me to access any of the files from the sites.

    Me personally, I find the statements by Startlogic to be complete BS.

    So folks until I can figure out how to set up the site on a VPS private server I guess the Obama/Biden camp have won for the day anyway.

    • Pink Panther

      Think how American’s speech will be stifled if Obama/Biden are elected to office in November.

      Additionally, after how Obama and his minions are talking about private property ownership (i.e., McCain’s right to own several properties), they will probably legislate the rights of Americans to own more than one piece of property.

      I am still in shock over the fact that it appears that Biden’s son was the tool used to get Sinclair arrested right after the NPC earlier this year, to get him charged in Delaware, and to get his SocSec payments cut off (fortunately just temporarily). And now the son is being sent to Iraq, where I am sure some sort of military regs will place him outside the reach of any legal process.

      If Sinclair is just making all this up, I really doubt that anyone connected with Obama or Biden would have stuck their necks out like this. If he is not, man, is there ever one giant scandal waiting to blow up. This sort of thing can’t be kept under wraps forever, that’s for sure.

      But where is Fitzgerald these days? Is there serious backpressure on these issues coming from the Repubs?

    The Dem Convention Protest videos this morning on Fox! OMG! It’s going to be a riot!

    I have been watching Fox News today, and they were having trouble going live to their reporter in Denver who was covering the protesters, and my jaw dropped when they finally showed the video.

    I live in Los Angeles, and the video reminded me of the illegal alien amnesty rallies. The reporter in Denver looked like he was in a war zone! One fo the men behind him had a Crip or Blood gangmember bandana around his face to hide his face. The camera was shaking and the reporter looked real scared. It was amazing. People as far as the eye could see. I would call it a tinderbox, and they haven’t even started really. They’re just gathering!

    Obama always tries to act like Thurston Howell from Gilligan’s Island, but seriously, move the camera two feet tot he left and interview the people outside. I saw an American Indian rally, which was a little more subdued, but I was thinking, if Hillary DOES get the nomination, they’ll need a bigger detention facility.

    This was one of the most chaotic pieces of video I’ve ever seen. It’s not online yet, but I am still amazed. It reminded me of a vietnam-era video.

    Is that man doing Obama-Yoga, or is he mentally preparing himself to jump off the cliff?

    JUMP!

  • http://www.anvp.wordpress.com soldier4hillary

    First the group with the bandana’s is a anti war military vet group and has nothing to do with gang members. Second I feel as if you are attempting to give the impression that these people are there because of Senator Obama, to play on the theme there will be “riots’ on behalf of him.if Senator Clinton wins. Not going to work.

    • http://investigatebarackobama.wordpress.com/about/ kat in your hat

      Exactly, I watched that Fox News show live, these people don’t know what they are talking about. The group they are referring to are mainly green party extremists, anti-war activists, mixed with some anarchists. They are the re-create 68 group, and they are AGAINST Obama, and basically everyone else. I watched their rally and they are pissed about Biden voting for war and being old Washington, and they are PISSED about Obama voting for Bush’s FISA.

      It has nothing to do with Hillary or black gang members. It was mainly young rowdy white guys!

  • StrawberrybitesBarky

    I know I keep asking this but is that for real? Last night I said I get up every morning wondering ‘how will Barky shoot off his own John Thomas today?’ and obviously today was no exception.

  • harvey

    wanna play some easy bump with Obama. That is the same as saying “you wanna role the dice with this guy”? Nope, he’s a huckster, one who plays the lip cup and the whip cup, a hustler from the word go. A “sundowner” who stacked the deck against Hillary and laughed when he got caught. Bill Clinton from Arkansas knew exactly what he was talking about when he said “voting for Obama is like a role of the dice”.

      It looks like a tiny plastic statuette sitting on an overused penis crying out for Viagra

      Tereebeelay! A supreme insult to Yoga.

  • Tyrione

    That’s an insult to Hatha Yoga practitioners, like myself. What’s next?

    Raja Yoga’s Pranayama for Obama?

    I’ll have to throw up if I see that one.

  • Prem

    As a hatha yoga instructor myself, this seems very “unyoga-like” to me. One of the core principles of yogic sadhana, or spiritual practice, is to cultivate “sat” or truth consciousness. Obama’s lies and fraudulence is “asat” or non-truth. Also, yogis (male yoga practitioners) and yoginis (female yoga practitioners) are to live a life of “ahimsa,” or non-violence. Haven’t seen much of that coming from Obama’s camp.

    If any of you other yoga instructors feel inspired to contact “Om Time,” to voice your concerns, their email is customerservice@omtime.com, and toll-free number is 1-877-668-4631.

    I’ve called and emailed them. I know this whole thing should be taken in a humorous light, but I thought I should express my thoughts about this questionable “yoga” class.

    • Tyrione

      Life of “non-violence” depends on your discipline and your intended uses for inner illumination. Being that life perspectives are all relative, and even after the annihilation of all opposites to discover your True Will you’ll still have some relative view of your actions as being construed negatively/violently relative to another.

      Change, the Universal Constant can be viewed as Infinite Violence with the continuum of collisions from the Quantum to the Universal range, but to profess a life of pacifism one doesn’t have to do so and embrace Yoga and it’s many disciplines.
