Tweety's 1-on-1 with St. McSame

B-O-R-I-N-G

Jeez... One would think Tweety could perhaps ask a real question during that whole hour.

But Sadly no...

Most if not all the questions were about Sen. Obama's comments, leading Sen. McSame down a clear path to help distort Sen. Obama's comments without challenge.

The rest of the "Q&A" were clear softball questions aimed only to deflect most of the recent flip-flops Sen. McSame has publicly made.

So as always the Traditional Media will continue to give Sen. McSame a pass while ignoring the real issues the majority of Americans have questions about and want answers to.

Chris Matthew's nonstop rhetoric combined with the OIYAAR (Only If You Are A Republican) attitude is one of many reasons we Americans are BITTER!

GOP Rep. Geoff Davis shows his Racist colors

I really hate writing about bigots and racists, but these racist comments spoken by Rep. Geoff Davis have no room in American society, especially within the halls of the United Stated Congress.

“I’m going to tell you something: That boy’s finger does not need to be on the button,” Mr. Davis said. “He could not make a decision in that simulation that related to a nuclear threat to this country.”

Hopefully the people of Kentucky will vote to send his ass back home.

I've got a size 12 boot (left foot only). Any takers from Kentucky?

Linux Unhackable at TippingPoint

This should quiet some of those Apple and MS fan boys.

The prizes were $20,000 for those who would manage to break the security of the laptops in the first day, $10,000 on day two and only $5,000 on the third day.

Apple’s MacBook was first to be hacked and for the team led by Charlie Miller, an analyst at Independent Security Evaluators, two minutes were enough to break the notebook.

The team of Charlie Miller, Jake Honoroff, and Mark Daniel from Independent Security Evaluators has successfully compromised the Apple MacBook Air by exploiting a brand new 0day vulnerability in Apple's Safari web browser.

In the third and final day Shane Macaulay from Security Objectives won the Fujitsu U810 laptop running Vista Ultimate SP1 after it was installed with the latest version of Adobe Flash.

In addition he won also $5,000, which he will probably share with the friends who helped him, Derek Callaway and Alexander Sotirov.

At the end of the third day, a Sony Vaio VGN-TZ37CN laptop running Ubuntu remained unhacked.

Police arrest 80 year old anti-war protester at local mall.

But Zirkel said he was sitting in the food court drinking coffee with his wife Marie, 77, and several others when police and mall security officers approached and demanded they remove their anti-war T-shirts.

The others complied, but Zirkel said he refused, and when he wouldn't stand up to be removed and arrested, authorities brought over a wheelchair. "They forcibly picked me up and put me in the wheelchair," said Zirkel, a deacon at one of the poorest Catholic parishes on Long Island, where a devastating fire recently destroyed the rectory and storage areas.

Three Cheers to Mr. Don Zirkel for standing up for his constitutional rights. The arresting Officers Brownshirt thugs are a disgrace to the
Police uniform and should be fired, tar and feathered.

America has no place for this Fascist style of law enforcement. Hopefully someday we can exile these bastards to a country like North Korea in hopes of giving
them a taste of their own medicine.

McCain's Top Advisors Were Recently Lobbyists For Ameriquest Mortgage

More BS from the "Strait Talker".

When Sen. John McCain addressed the nation's burgeoning mortgage mess last week, he insisted it was time for a little "straight talk."

"I will not play election-year politics with the housing crisis," the GOP presidential hopeful insisted while unveiling his plan, which many have since described as friendlier to the mortgage industry than the Democrats' proposals.

What McCain did not say - which some believe smacks of politics - is that two of his top advisers were recently lobbyists for a notorious lender in the mortgage meltdown.

John Green, the senator's chief liaison to Congress, and Wayne Berman, his national finance co-chairman, billed more than $720,000 in lobbying fees from 2005 through last year to Ameriquest Mortgage through their lobbying firm, disclosure forms reviewed by the Daily News show.

Ameriquest, which since has been bought out, was forced to settle suits with 49 states for $325 million. More than 13,680 New York homeowners got taken for a ride by the company, records show.

"They would be defined as the most blatant and aggressive predatory lenders out of everybody," said Bruce Marks, head of the nonprofit Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America.

Despite their past familiarity with the issue, neither Green or Berman had any input into McCain's plan for dealing with the lending crisis, aides to the Arizona senator said last week.

"Sen. McCain has never done anything that would violate the public trust and he has never done favors for special interests or lobbyists," said McCain spokesman Tucker Bonds.

While far from a bailout for the mortgage industry, McCain's plan focuses on less regulation for lenders - in sharp contrast with proposals by Democrats Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama - and suggests as a first step convening a big meeting of top mortgage lenders.

But the migration of Green and Berman to McCain's campaign comes as the Arizona senator faces criticism on other fronts for aligning himself with lobbyists, whom McCain often derides - but relies upon to staff his campaign.

They include McCain campaign manager Rick Davis, a former telecommunications lobbyist, as well as Thomas Loeffler, McCain's national finance co-chairman, who recently helped Europe's Airbus consortium land a deal for Air Force tankers.

As usual St. McCain will be getting a free pass from the media on this whole flip-flop.
