As this post is being written, the Chinese divers have won all seven of the gold medals at stake in Olympic diving. They have also won all but one of the gold medals available for men's gymnastics. None of this is by accident because China has turned itself into a nation where over one billion people are part of an huge athletic factory. It is certain that the Chinese will win the most gold medals at this Olympics, although the United States may end up with the most medals. Of what... Read Full Story
After disappointments in the men's and women's gymnastics, the Russians went for gold in Georgia. The Russian army synchronized tank units blazed across the Georgian border in perfectly symmetrical fashion scoring tens on all Russian judges’ cards and winning the first ever Olympic gold medal for crushing a neighboring free country. Complaints by the government of Georgia that the tank divisions had no business being in their territory were met with the usual deaf ears of Czar Vladimir Putin... Read Full Story
Both the Snookered and Travesty Polls latest data show Senator McCain with a 25 point lead over Senator Obama. Major strutting was going on in the McCain camp as a result of these findings. Senator McCain was unavailable for comment, but one unnamed aide said, "We told those suckers who Obama really is." It was difficult to get comments from other McCain aides because most of them were chugging champagne bottles and blowing New Year's Eve party favors. When my roving reporter, Nikolai...

A story in the Canadian press about an Ohio prison inmate states that, "A death row inmate scheduled for execution says he's too fat to be put to death, claiming executioners would have trouble finding his veins and that his weight could diminish the effectiveness of one of the lethal injection drugs." The death penalty is no laughing matter, but if death row inmate, Richard Cooey is able to "escape" execution because of his obesity it opens the possibility that every prisoner sentenced to...

Republicans may be stupid about many things, but one thing they know how to do is turn the Democratic candidate into something he is not. Obama into Dewey? This is been going on for months and will and intensify as the campaign nears election. McCain is the son of an admiral who was the son of an admiral. Obama didn't have any silver spoons in his mouth. He earned everything he received. McCain was reportedly the recepient of more than one favor, owing to his father's status during his career...

I would never say or intimate that Obama is Moses, but John McCain did. Imagine that! A McCain attack ad sarcastically calling Obama "the one" and then showing a picture of Charlton Heston splitting the Red Sea. Everyone knows what happened when the Pharaoh refused to let "My people go." God sent down 10 plagues on the people of Egypt until the Pharaoh relented and let the Israelites go. When will McCain and his followers get the message and let Americans go free. Do they need 10 plagues... Read Full Story
In the absence of a substantive campaign Senator McCain has been playing the accusation game. Each week, or every other day, McCain accuses Obama of something or other. It really doesn't matter what McCain accuses Obama of; one can almost fill in the blank. Examples of some of the accusations are listed below. McCain accuses Obama of playing the race card. McCain accuses Obama of pandering on Iraq. McCain accuses Obama of ducking out on visit to wounded troops. McCain accuses Obama of... Read Full Story
The McCain campaign announced that two special positions were recently created. Paris Hilton has been appointed special director of fund raising for the state of California and Britney Spears has been appointed special director for relations with the evangelical movement. Ms. Hilton's credentials are impeccable and she is the right person to coordinate contributions from the key state of California according to an unnamed source within the McCain campaign. Britney Spears spiritual... Read Full Story
The latest Republican attack ads against Senator Obama attempt to portray him as no more than a celebrity and desperately attempt to link him up with Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. These pseudo-attack ads trying to link Senator Obama to two stupor-stars of dubious intellect and reputation will likely confuse the viewers who know that Senator Obama has nothing to do with these two "young ladies." It may leave them as confused as the Republican campaign for presidency. The so-called attack... Read Full Story
An article by Matthew Bigg (Reuters) points out that Kennesaw, Georgia north of Atlanta "had little prominence until it passed a gun ordinance in 1982 that required all heads of a household to own a firearm and ammunition." The article goes on to state that, "The Kennesaw law has endured as the town's population has swelled to about 30,000 from 5,000 in 1982. When the law was passed in 1982 there was a substantial drop in crime ... ' and we have maintained a really low crime rate since then... Read Full Story
