McCain adds another bigot to his "Bullshit Express"

Since last weekend the MSM has overplayed the Obama-Farrakhan hoopla to death.

So I guess its now fair game to discuss these non-issues?

Now that we can rely on 'gotcha' questions and subjects from the MSM do you think one will ask St. McCain why he proudly accepts the endorsement from the controversial Pastor John Hagee?

Yes, the same bigot John Hagee who likes to say things like this...

Hagee, pastor of the 16,000-member Cornerstone Church, last week had announced a "slave sale" to raise funds for high school seniors in his church bulletin, "The Cluster."

The item was introduced with the sentence "Slavery in America is returning to Cornerstone" and ended with "Make plans to come and go home with a slave."

and this ...

To help students seeking odd jobs, his church newsletter, The Cluster, advertised a "slave" sale. "Slavery in America is returning to Cornerstone," it said. "Make plans to come and go home with a slave." Mr. Hagee apologized but, in a radio interview, protested about pressure to be "politically correct" and joked that perhaps his pet dog should be called a "canine American."

Don't expect any hard questions or substance from the MSM while discussing John McCain.
Its all about the "Maverick" or "Strait Talk Express", while adding some bad grammar like "Democrat Party".

Just look at how the New York Times article got covered. As quickly as it became a story it became an attack on the messenger and not about the substance of the article.

Could you imagine if the story was about Hillary or Obama?

Watching the MSM fawning over McCain is truly beyond pathetic.

SNES on the XO!

I got this great tutorial from here. I only edited the code as it was incorrect on the site.

The next few days I'll be putting up a few hacks and tricks for the XO!



First Open a terminal and paste this...

wget http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?groupname=zsnes&filename=zsnes151src.tar.bz2

Then extract it:

tar jxvf zsnes151src.tar.bz2

Go into the source directory:

cd zsnes_1_51/src/

Open up a root shell to install dependencies (the XO doesn't come with sudo):

su

Install dependencies:

yum install gcc gcc-c++ make nasm zlib-devel SDL-devel

Leave the root shell:

exit

Build ZSNES. These are two separate lines:

./configure --disable-debugger --disable-opengl
make

Run it!
./zsnes

Unfortunately I haven't been able to increase the screen resolution. Larger resolutions depend on having OpenGL, which didn't work. It started up, and the display showed up for a split second, but then the screen went black and ZSNES had to be killed. You can at least center the display by going to Config -> Video and selecting "640x480 DR F".

"In just two years, we're looking like Saudi Arabia."

In the past five years, oil production in North Dakota has climbed nearly 40 percent, to about 43 million barrels last year. State officials and industry leaders say the record annual production of 52.6 million barrels, set in 1984, is within reach in a year or two as the boom continues.

In the first month of 2008, the state issued 90 drilling permits. At that pace, permits for the year will more than double the numbers for 2007.

"It doesn't look like anything is going to slow them up," said state Rep. Kenton Onstad, a Democrat from Parshall. "I think there are 17 rigs working in Mountrail County alone, and we hear that more are coming.

"In just two years, we're looking like Saudi Arabia."

What great news for the city of Parshall and the county of Mountrail.

This should bring what the residents of Parshall has been wanting for decades, and that is the rebuilding the schools along with rebuilding the failing roads and infrastructure, and finally to bring in new businesses that can create long-term jobs for the future.

More "Strait Talk" from the Bullshit express

“One thing I’m not any good at predicting is the outcome of Democrat elections,” he said Tuesday aboard his bus, dubbed the Straight Talk Express. A day earlier, he had mentioned his “Democrat friends” to a Cleveland-area audience.

Asked aboard his bus about the “ic,” he replied, “I’m sorry, I usually say Democratic. They prefer Democratic, so I try to say Democratic… It offends some members of their party, so I’ll say Democratic if that’s what makes them feel better.”

But his resolve didn’t last long. Later on that same ride, he was talking about his annoyance that Democrats take credit for the improving situation in Iraq. “To say, as Sen. Obama has said, that it’s because of the Democrat majority that we have experienced success in Iraq, that’s just beyond comprehension.”

Looking more and more old, cranky and senile ...

Hail ZORN!

Finally!
