What A Difference a Day (or hours) Make(s)

Watch Pat Buchanan FLIP FLOP on Sarah Palin in the same day. Before she's announced, he didn't think it would be such a great idea. When it was reality, it was the best thing since sliced bread.

BIO MEANS BETTER

I recently learned of an excellent contest sponsored by American Express. Its called Members Project. I'd like to tell you about a project I submitted to Members Project. It's called "BIO MEANS BETTER!!" and with your support it could get funding from American Express. To nominate this project for potential funding, please go to BIO MEANS BETTER!!

Members Project is an exciting initiative that brings people together to make a difference in the world. It's simple. People go online to share ideas for projects — and ultimately vote on which projects will share $2.5 million in funding from American Express.

In 2007, Members Project provided clean drinking water to children all across Africa. What will Members Project do this year? The decision is yours. Please nominate my project.

The deadline to receive nominations is rapidly approaching so please show your support. The online form allowed a limited number of characters for each response, so if you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach me via email. Thank you very much and stay tuned!

Gratefully yours,

Scott

Ellen's new Portia

Ellen De Generes and Portia de Rossi exchanged wedding vows over the weekend in Los Angeles. In an interview with People, Ellen quipped, "What can I say? I'm the luckiest girl in the world. She's officially off the market. No one else gets her. And now she'll cook and clean for me." Congratulations ladies!!

Going for the 'tin foil'

This is absolutely priceless coverage of an Olympic event that I would love to see more of. Check out this team of 2 or 3 (not sure..perhaps the 3rd is the coach) Rhythmic Gymnasts.

That's a whole lotta bling!

With 8 gold medals from Beijing, Michael Phelps landed his 5th cover of SI after one-upping Mark Spitz. Congratulations Michael! Full article at HuffPo.

McCain's Mansions

McCain: "In the 21st Century Nations Don't Invade Other Nations"

Then why did he vote to invade Iraq? How are Putin's actions any different from W's?

Video after the jump. Check out the article on Huffingtonpost.com

McCain's affair any different?

With compassion for Elizabeth Edwards, I'm not sure why the media has chosen to jump all over John Edwards' recent admission to having an extramarital affair. Why the hullabaloo if he confessed to his wife 2 years ago? John McCain had a well documented affair on his first wife, with his current wife. He has admitted in the books he has written about his life that he ran around with several different women while still married to his first wife Carol.
And don't forget that he left her for a younger, richer woman - multi-millionaire Cindy Hensley who is now Cindy McCain - after she had been severely injured in a car accident, possibly injured worse than John after he was shot down. How have McCain's affairs been able to evade the 24 hour news cycle?

My Sympathy to Vancouver

How in world can anyone possibly top last nights opening ceremony in Beijing?? AMAZING! Visit the official Olympic website for photos and videos.

Obama Wins Duval..

Duval county, predominately Republican, voiced their opinion and voted for change last night at The Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce annual Hob Nob. Resident's had a chance to meet all of the local politicians who are seeking public office. The highlight for me, obviously, was voting in the straw poll. The ballot listed from left to right: John McCain, Barack Obama, and other. Obama won the straw poll vote with 57%. Visit BarackObama.com to learn more about this remarkable candidate.

The "Straight Talk Express" McCrashes

McCain's tour bus has seen better days. It apparently crashed into a mini-van in Florida and has also been given a tattoo on the rear bumper in the form of an Obama bumper sticker. I hope the person who was able to sneak up to the bus and slap that sticker on wins this Saturday's SuperLotto jackpot! See Keith Olbermann's video below in Exhibit D.

I'm not quite sure what happened to John McCain. Four years ago, this man had everyone practically eating out of his hand. He was admired by many, disliked by few. The last few years however, have proven to show us a McBushier John McCain. His candidacy is truly pitiful! The laundry list is entirely too long to post, but here are just a few examples.

Exhibit A (Classic example of 1. How well he thinks on his feet & 2. What specifically he's done to improve the lives of African Americans...


Progressive Accountability reports that when McCain finally did answer, he distorted his record. Click the link to read about McCain voting against having the MLK holiday.

Exhibit B (McCain Suggests Wife Participate in Topless Contest that also involves...bananas. Yes, bananas.)


I'm surprised that what he said was actually prepared for him. The fact that he was reading copy from the music stand suggests that he already knew what he was going to say or that he had no idea what he was about to say. Not sure which is worse.

I'm not surprised however, that he treats his wife with such disrespect. Who could forget about the profane tirade in which he referred to his wife as a "*unt"? And since that "C U Next Tuesday" comment, he's even made an awkward wife-beating joke during an interview with the Las Vegas Sun.

Exhibit C (Is McCain as stupid as McBush?)

Be sure to listen for the brilliant biker who's revving his engine after McCain proclaims that he'll "drill right here, right now!" He then goes on to insult Obama for suggesting people inflate their tires. Someone better offer the man some ketchup for the foot he doesn't know he'll be eating within 24 hours.


His concession can be heard in the following clip.

Exhibit D (McCain poked fun at Obama for suggesting that properly inflated tires would help drivers to improve their gas mileage, launched a negative attack ad against Obama, THEN did a complete U-Turn and actually conceded that Obama was correct in stating that properly inflated tires would help drivers to improve their gas mileage. )

Check out the clip courtesy of Countdown with Keith Olbermann, the only journalist who seems to hold everyone accountable.




Ridiculous!
