Matt Drudge, founder of the Internet news site the Drudge Report ran a story on his rag of a website that told the world Prince Harry was fighting on the front lines in Afghanistan. Much of the British and American press knew he was over in Afghanistan, but they all agreed to keep the story secret until Harry and his regiment returned from Afghanistan. It was believed that if it was known that a member of the Royal family was in Afghanistan fighting the Taliban, it would create an extra risk not only for the Prince, but the rest of his unit.
Everyone was able to keep it a secret. Everyone except that douche bag Matt Drudge. He just had to let everyone know about it.
Because of Matt Drudge’s reckless disregard for the safety of Prince Harry and the rest of his unit, they are being withdrawn from Afghanistan. Their risk is just too high for him and the rest of the men in his unit.
My respect for Prince Harry is only matched by my contempt for Matt Drudge. Prince Harry didn’t have to put himself at risk and go to Afghanistan. His grandmother is the Queen of England and he is is third in the line of succession to the throne. Shame on Matt Drudge for putting his own desire for attention over the safety of Prince Harry and the rest of his unit.
Barack Obama may be leading Hillary Clinton in all the polls and in the overall delegate count, but there is one demographic that Obama has yet to make any progress with – dead people.
Ann Richards, the former Texas governor died in 2006. Even though she is no longer living, she is not letting that stop her from endorsing Hillary Clinton for President. The Clinton campaign released an Internet video that says Richards would have supported Clinton if only she were still alive.
Technically dead people are not allowed to vote. That’s not to say dead people haven’t played a key role in tipping the balance in favor of one candidate over another. No only do dead people vote, some of them vote numerous times in the same election.
I am not sure if any other dead people will be jumping on the Hillary Express. It’s not like anyone can ask them because, well, they’re dead. I do remember that Hillary once talked about having conversations with Eleanor Roosevelt who at the time was quite dead. Will Mrs. Roosevelt endorse Hillary too? It could create a surge for Hillary in the dead community.
Barrack Obama likes to talk about how he can bring all sorts of people together. What about the dead people? Why is Barrack Obama ignoring the departed? Could it be that he is doing so well with those who still have a pulse that he feels that he can essentially ignore dead people? If I was in a position to advice Barack Obama — and I am not — I would encourage him to reach out to the dead. I think ignoring dead people sends a very negative message about the Obama campaign. It makes it appear noninclusive. If he is willing to turn his back on the dead, who will he forsake next?
The photo of Barack Obama dressed up in regional garb while visiting Africa has been circulated online, supposedly from somebody connected to the Clinton campaign. The Drudge Report was the first to show this photo and he says someone from the Clinton campaign sent it to him. That omission from Drudge kind of destroys his claim of “ANONYMITY GUARANTEED”. Then again, if you believe anything on the Drudge Report, you are an idiot.
I think it was incredibly stupid for Barack Obama to dress up like this.
I realize it’s common for American politicians to dress up in local ethnic gear while visiting abroad. I’ve never understood why they do it. Maybe I’d feel differently if somebody from Europe came over here and dressed up like an Indian chief or a cowboy.
Obama simply doesn’t have the luxury of playing dress up when it comes to clothing of the middle-east. He already has to contend with things that are outside his control. Things such as the fact that the name Obama sounds a lot like Osoma. Having the middle name of Hussein certainly doesn’t help him. Quite a few Americans still incorrectly believe he is a Muslim. He’s not. He’s a born again Christian. Photos like this only help confuse people.
Clinton Township police’s 17-year suspicion that Michael George killed his wife in the back of their comic book store finally reaches the courtroom today.
Jury selection is set to begin at 1:30 p.m. in the case, in which George is charged with the July 1990 shooting death of his 32-year-old wife, Barbara George.
Macomb County Assistant Prosecutor Steve Kaplan said he expects to call 43 witnesses in the reopened cold case. The trial could last more than three weeks.
Former Macomb County Prosecutor Carl Marlinga is representing George, 47. The case has garnered national attention. The NBC show “Dateline” is expected to feature it in a future episode.
One of my personal goals in life is to never appear on an episode of “Dateline”. No good can come of it.
Republican Congressman Rick Renzi has been indicted for extortion, wire fraud, money laundering and other charges related to an Arizona land deal. The 26-page federal indictment accuses Renzi and two of his former business partners of conspiring to promote the sale of land that buyers could swap for property owned by the federal government.
Renzi was a co-chairman for Republican presidential candidate John McCain’s Arizona leadership team. Since the indictment has been handed down, Renzi’s name has been scrubbed off the McCain website. News that the FBI was investigating Renzi has been known for almost a year. Why then would McCain wait until now to distance himself from Renzi?
When asked, McCain had the following to say about Renzi:
“I’m sorry. I feel for the family; as you know, he has 12 children,” McCain told reporters on the presidential campaign trail. “But I don’t know enough of the details to make a judgment. These kinds of things are always very unfortunate…. I rely on our Department of Justice and system of justice to make the right outcome.”
Twelve kids? What’s Renzi trying to do, start his own country? The guy needs to go to prison for no other reason then to give his wife’s uterus a break.
We also now have one more reason not to vote for Senator McLovin. Not only does he make a man under investigation by the FBI a co-chairman for his campaign, he now can’t make a judgment concerning Renzi. Why not? One of the most important requirements for president is the ability to make snap decisions. A president doesn’t have the luxury of being wishy-washy when it comes to making decisions.
Like most people, I read the New York Timesarticle about Senator and Republican presidential nominee John McCain getting just a little too cozy with Vicki Iseman, a female lobbyist. I realize the Republicans wanted us to believe during the Clinton impeachment that extramarital sexual escapades were somehow important. I don’t care if McCain is two-timing his wife. That’s between him and her. It’s none of my business.
At least it’s not a teenage boy or another dude in an airport restroom.
What bothers me the most about the story is not that he was “possibly” getting it on with a woman who is not his wife, but that he evidently is so chummy with a Washington lobbyist. Nothing good can come out of a politician being so friendly with a Washington lobbyist. At least nothing good for our country.
A while back I hypothesized that NFL swag incorrectly identifying the New England Patriots as the XLII Superbowl champs would end up in a village in Africa. As it turns out, I was actually right — sort of. It turned out not to be a village in Africa, but in Nicaragua.
Shirts and caps proclaiming the victory of the New England Patriots — when the American football team actually lost the latest Super Bowl — have ended up in the hands of poor Nicaraguan children.
That’s not to say some of this swag won’t turn up in Africa. I’m sure there is enough wrong swag for most of the third world. The Patriots were more or less crowned the Superbowl champs before the game was even played.
Michelle Obama speaking at a rally in Milwaukee said:
“Hope is making a comeback and, let me tell you, for the first time in my adult life I am really proud of my country. Not just because Barack is doing well, but I think people are hungry for change.”
Way to perpetuate the myth that Democrats don’t love their country. This was an incredibly dumb thing to say.
Why do candidates even send their spouses out on the campaign trial? Nothing good can come from it. I can guarantee you that nobody votes for a candidate because of something their spouse said during the campaign. No good can come out of a spouse speaking on the campaign trail. Look at all the grief Bill is causing Hillary. It’s almost as though Bill is trying to tank it for her.
Maybe Michelle Obama doesn’t want to be the First Lady.
In today’s Herald-Mail, there was a front page article on Robert McKee. He is the state delegate recently caught with child pornography. Two weeks ago sheriff deputies obtained a search warrant to enter his home where they discovered a substantial amount of child pornography including computer images, video tapes, and magazines.
Did the Herald-Mail investigate the matter further and find out why it took two weeks for anyone at the newspaper to find out about this? Did they discover why McKee was allowed to continue working as the executive director of Big Brothers & Big Sisters?
No. They ran a story that glorified Robert McKee for all of the wonderful things he has done over the years. This man who possessed a substantial amount of kiddie porn.
