1 Week Out From The Election

Here's how its looking right now in a couple key states mixed with a couple national polls. Finish it out now.

LeBron James, Jay-Z To Host Rally For Obama In Cleveland Oct. 29th

CLEVELAND (AP) — NBA superstar LeBron James and Grammy-winning recording artist Jay-Z want people to get out early to vote for Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.

James and Jay-Z will host a rally Wednesday at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland which will include a free concert by the hip-hop star.

James attended a Cleveland rally earlier this month to encourage people to vote for Obama. He's also contributed $20,000 to a committee supporting the presidential nominee.

I have no love whatsoever for Cleveland, OH but this sounds big. They certainly don't deserve this. Sadface for Cincinnati, the realest city in Ohio.

Larry David On The Election

I laughed at this as I do most things he is a part of, so I'm sharing his feelings on November 4th. Enjoy.

I can't take much more of this. Two weeks to go, and I'm at the end of my rope. I can't work. I can eat, but mostly standing up. I'm anxious all the time and taking it out on my ex-wife, which, ironically, I'm finding enjoyable. This is like waiting for the results of a biopsy. Actually, it's worse. Biopsies only take a few days, maybe a week at the most, and if the biopsy comes back positive, there's still a potential cure. With this, there's no cure. The result is final. Like death.

Five times a day I'll still say to someone, "I don't know what I'm going to do if McCain wins." Of course, the reality is I'm probably not going to do anything. What can I do? I'm not going to kill myself. If I didn't kill myself when I became impotent for two months in 1979, I'm certainly not going to do it if McCain and Palin are elected, even if it's by nefarious means. If Obama loses, it would be easier to live with it if it's due to racism rather than if it's stolen. If it's racism, I can say, "Okay, we lost, but at least it's a democracy. Sure, it's a democracy inhabited by a majority of disgusting, reprehensible turds, but at least it's a democracy." If he loses because it's stolen, that will be much worse. Call me crazy, but I'd rather live in a democratic racist country than a non-democratic non-racist one. (It's not exactly a Hobson's choice, but it's close, and I think Hobson would compliment me on how close I've actually come to giving him no choice. He'd love that!)

The one concession I've made to maintain some form of sanity is that I've taken to censoring my news, just like the old Soviet Union. The citizenry (me) only gets to read and listen to what I deem appropriate for its health and well-being. Sure, there are times when the system breaks down. Michele Bachmann got through my radar this week, right before bedtime. That's not supposed to happen. That was a lapse in security, and I've had to make some adjustments. The debates were particularly challenging for me to monitor. First I tried running in and out of the room so I would only hear my guy. This worked until I knocked over a tray of hors d'oeuvres. "Sit down or get out!" my host demanded. "Okay," I said, and took a seat, but I was more fidgety than a ten-year-old at temple. I just couldn't watch without saying anything, and my running commentary, which mostly consisted of "Shut up, you prick!" or "You're a fucking liar!!!" or "Go to hell, you cocksucker!" was way too distracting for the attendees, and finally I was asked to leave.

Assuming November 4th ever comes, my big decision won't be where I'll be watching the returns, but if I'll be watching. I believe I have big jinx potential and may have actually cost the Dems the last two elections. I know I've jinxed sporting events. When my teams are losing and I want them to make a comeback, all I have to do is leave the room. Works every time. So if I do watch, I'll do it alone. I can't subject other people to me in my current condition. I just don't like what I've turned into -- and frankly I wasn't that crazy about me even before the turn. This election is having the same effect on me as marijuana. All of my worst qualities have been exacerbated. I'm paranoid, obsessive, nervous, and totally mental. It's one long, intense, bad trip. I need to come down. Soon.

John McCain Picks Sarah Palin As His VP

Seriously?

This is what you got?

You're selecting a 44-year old woman you've met two times prior to today as your vice president whose been elected as governor in Nov. '06?

Would this candidate even be acceptable if she were a man? This is serious business here, if an international crisis happens, and you aren't there, who will lead this Carol Brady impostor?

The only thing about her that isn't new is her ideas. They're lock in step with McCain's (Don't believe me, check her voting record). She's not really exceptional. Her only value is that she's the front page news McCain was looking for where he sees an opportunity to knock Obama's historical evening and week long unifying event down a notch.

This may work in the short term and this could only be seen as a short-term gimmick, much like the gas tax holiday he proposed during the summer, but in the long term, when everyone has a couple weeks to comb her over and when she has to stare down Joe Biden and he finishes picking her apart, what then? If she can't hold her own against him than how can she be expected to on the world stage with Putin and Ahmadinijad and Kim Jong-Il? This election is interesting, like the last Batman flick but just as that movie ended, so shall this election, with the Dark Knight still standing.

Obamas Vice Presidential Choice: Joe Biden

I like this. I like this alot.

He's gullier than Joe Liebermann and John Edwards (the last two Democratic Vice Presidential Candidates) and in the vice presidential debates he's going to eat Mitt Romney's lunch and start on John McCain's.

Obama getting someone like Joe Biden on his team is something akin to the Dallas Cowboys getting Deion in '95 and then winning the Superbowl, they certainly know how to win on their own but adding someone with that kind of swagger reinforces their gangster; the defense is immediately bolstered.

I haven't known about Biden for forever but ever since like '03 when he became a regular on Bill Maher's 'Realtime' show I've liked his sensibilities and reason and marveled in his presentation; very intriguing and entertaining guy.

Just look at the guy, you just know that finger isn't pointed at someone because he agrees with them. There's almost literally nobody the Republicans can put up as a ticket thats going to match that Obama/Biden ticket. It's going to be utterly laughable. Look for them to go with that standard old tired stiff and stale presentation they always go with.

It's about to go down.

Update:

Biden showing his attack dog instincts when Bush was in Israel earlier this year alluding to Obama being an 'appeaser'...


LOL, Romney's going to be shining his shoes.
