Gods Of No Power

The Gods of No Power are at it again.

Why is it that the Democrats can accurately perceive what’s offensive, but then only whine and wring their hands before they roll over and give butt time to the offender? (Unless, of course, when it comes to screwing the US. They are mighty mighties when it comes to stepping on their supporters and the US Constitution).

Joe Lieberman thinks it’s a good thing that he can speak his traitorous mind, yet keep his vaunted position. Fine, Joe. Democrats ought to keep in mind that you are not to be trusted.

As a matter of fact, why should the Republicans trust a man who stood next to John McCain, called President-Elect Obama a Marxist, yet still chooses to caucus with the Marxist’s party?

Can someone who is so blatantly power-hungry be trusted by anyone? No. Both parties ought to treat that liar as the pariah that he is. I hope President-Elect Obama won’t have to rue this day.

Maybe President-Elect Obama will disband the Department of Homeland Security. It has proven to be too clunky and ineffectual.

*********************

From ending torture to restoring constitutional rights,  our trusted grassroot organizations are putting in their wish lists for the new administration.

I’ll be happy if the O administration can immediately hamstring rogue police elements long enough to keep them from blasting innocent black men full of bullet holes for simply reaching inside a coat or pants pocket for their wallet. As well, if we can get a handle on the misuse of tasers that would be awesome as well.

*********************

To union workers who voted for Republicans: why? George Bush and his Republicans are unwilling to spend money to save your job? How do you justify them throwing trillions at Wall Street while they blame you, the union worker for the woes of the auto industry?

When the Republicans raise their middle finger at you, what do you suppose they’re trying to communicate?

“O” Happy Day: Can You Feel IT??!!!!! (Vid)

 

O’ THANK YOU AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!

CAN YOU FEEL IT?

In the beginning the land was pure

Even in the early morning light

You could see the beauty in the thorns of nature

Soon men and women of every color and shape

would be here too

And they would find it all too easy sometimes not to 

See the colors

And to ignore the beauty in each other

But they would never lose sight of the dream of

A better world that

They could unite

And build together

IN TRIUMPH

 

can you feel it, can you feel it,can you feel it!

if you look around
the whole world’s coming together now.
can you feel it,can you feel it, can you feel it!
feel it in the air
the wind is taking it everywhere.
can you feel it,can you feel it, can you feel it!

all the colors of the world should be
lovin’ each other wholeheartedly.
yes it’s alright, take my message to your brother and tell him twice.
spread the word who tried to teach the man who is hatin’ his brother,
when hate won’t do
’cause we’re all the same 
yes the blood inside of me is inside of you.

now tell me!

can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it!
can you see what’s going down, you can feel it in your bones

every breath you take,
is someone’s death in another place.
every healthy smile,
is hunger and strife to another child.
but the stars do shine
and promising salvation is near this time.
can you feel it now,
so brothers and sisters
shall we know how.

now tell me!
can you feel it,tell me can you feel it,can you feel it!
talk now can you see what’s going down open up your mind. 

all the children of the world should be 
lovin’ each other wholeheartedly
yes it’s alright
take my message to your brother and tell him twice.
take the news to the marchin’ men
who are killin’ their brothers, when death won’t do.
yes we’re all the same
yes the blood inside my veins is inside of you.

now tell me!
can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it!
can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it!

 

WE CAN FEEL IT!!!!!!

Obamas, Bidens Cast Votes, Photos

Obama-Biden Wins Dixville Notch, NH

Good news first thing this morning for the team: voters in Dixville Notch and Hart’s Location, NH cast their votes in favor of Obama-Biden.

Though these are tiny communities – between them there are 115 residents- we didn’t realize what a a big deal this was until heads started exploding in Freeperland where they’re wondering what’s gotten into the water of townfolk who voted 15-6 and 17-10 respectively in favor of the Democratic candidates, Obama-Biden.

The Republican presidential ticket has been winning there for a couple of decades.

Obama & Bruce Springsteen “Working On A Dream” (Vid w/ Lyrics)

Bruce Springsteen, 80,000+ supporters rally for Obama in Cleveland, OH

Springsteen: I look around today and for many Americans today who are losing their jobs, or their homes or seeing their retirement funds disappear, who don’t have health care, who’ve been abandoned in our inner cities… the distance between that dream and that reality has grown greater and more painful than ever. I believe that Senator Obama has taken the measure of that distance in his own life and in his own work…   

Working On A Dream

I hear the nights are long the days are lonely 
I think of you and… I’m working on a dream
I’m working on a dream 

Now the cards I’ve drawn is rough and darkened 
I straightened the back and … I’m working on a dream 
I’m working on a dream (come on) 

I’m working on a dream, though sometimes it feels so far away
I’m working on a dream, and I know it will be mine someday 

Rain pouring down I swing my hammer 
My hands are rough from… working on a dream 
I’m working on a dream (let’s go) 

I’m working on a dream, though trouble can feel like it’s here to stay 
I’m working on a dream, well our love will chase the trouble away 

~whistling~ 

I’m working on a dream, though it can feel so far away 
I’m working on a dream, our love will make it real someday 

The sun rises up, I climb the ladder 
A new day breaks and… I’m working on a dream 
I’m working on a dream 
I’m working on a dream 
I’m working on a dream 

I’m working on a dream, though it can feel so far away 
I’m working on a dream, our love will make it real someday 
I’m working on a dream, oh it can feel so far away 
I’m working on a dream, and our love will make it real someday

Sarah Palin Punk’d By Comedy Duo! (Vid w/transcript)

The Masked Avengers: Audette and Sebastien Trudel Audette prank Sarah Palin

 

Gov. Palin takes a call from a man claiming he’s French President Nicholas Sarkozy. ‘Sarkozy’ immediately starts stroking Palin’s massive ego telling her that she will one day be president. 

“Sarkozy’ tells Sarah that they have hunting in common and suggests they hunt together by helicopter, “I just love killing those animals. Mm,mm. Take away life, that is so fun!”  Sarah giggles after his comment.

As a matter of fact, Sarah giggles much like a schoolgirl about to get her first kiss throughout the 6 minute conversation which may be one reason she misses all sorts of clues that the caller is a prankster.

She did not catch on when “Sarkozy’ misnamed the Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and Jean Charest Quebec’s Premier. The Canada Federal election was held October 14 and Canada is included on Sarah’s resume as foreign policy experience.

‘Sarkozy’ tells Sarah he can see Belgium from his house then mentions Larry Flynt’s porno flick: “Nailin’ Paylin” that pays homage to her supposed “good looks”. She seems- on occasion- perplexed by some of ‘Sarkozy’s’ references, but neglects to ask for clarification.  

Sarah gushes upon learning that ‘Sarkozy’s’ wife has penned a song for her after telling Sarah how hot his wife is in bed. And there’s so much more.

Transcript from DailyKos:

 

SP Assist: This is Vexy [??]. 
MA: Hello, Vexy [??]. This is Frank l’ouvrier (Frank the Worker), I’m with president Sarkozy on the line for Governor Palin.

SP Assist: One second please, can you hold on one second please? 
MA: No problem.

SP Assist: Hi, I’m going to hand the phone over to her. 
MA: Okay thank you very much I’m going to put the president on the line 
SP Assist: Ok he’s coming to the line.

SP: This is Sarah. 
MA: Yea, Governor Palin?

SP: Hellloooo…(long drawn out, like Well, hellooooo) 
MA: Just hold on for President Sarkozy, one moment. 
SP [To someone in the room]: Oh, it’s not him yet, I always do that. I’ll just have people hand it to me right when it’s them.

FNS: Yes, hello, Governor Palin? Yes, hello, Mrs. Governor? 
SP: Hello this is Sarah., how are you?

FNS: Fine, and you, this is Nicolas Sarkozy speaking, how are you? 
SP: Oh…so good, it’s so good to hear you. Thank you for calling us.

FNS: Oh, it’s a pleasure. 
SP: Thank you sir, we have such great respect for you, John McCain and I, we love you and thank you for spending a few minutes to talk to me.

FNS: I  follow your campaigns closely with my special American Advisor Johnny Hallyday (the most famous French singer, looks like Elvis) you know? 
SP: Yes! Good!

FNS: Excellent! Are you confident? 
SP: Very confident and we’re thankful that the polls are showing that the race is tightening and–

FNS: Well I know very well that the campaign can be exhausting. How do you feel right now my dear? 
SP: Ah, I feel so good. I feel like we’re in a marathon and at the very end of the marathon, you get your second wind and you plow to the finish—

FNS: You see, I got elected in France because I’m real and you seem to be someone who’s real as well. 
SP: Yes, yeah, Nicolas, we so appreciate this opportunity.

FNS: You know, I see you as a president, one day, you too. 
SP: [Muahaaa...weird laugh], maybe in 8 years. Haha

FNS: Well, ah, I hope for you. You know we have a lot in common because personally one of my favorite activities is to hunt too. 
SP: [Giggle]o h very good, we should go hunting together.

FNS: Exactly! We could go try hunting by helicopter, like you did, I never did that. 
SP: [Giggle]

FNS: Like we say in French “on pourrait tuer des bébés phoques aussi” (we could also kill some baby seals) 
SP: [Giggle] Well I think we could have a lot of fun together as we’re getting work done, we can kill two birds with one stone that way.

FNS: I just love killing those animals. Mm, mm. Take away a life, that is so fun! 
SP: [Hahahaha]

FNS: I’d really love to go as long as we don’t bring Vice president Cheney, hahaha. 
SP: No, I’ll be a careful shot, yes.

FNS: You know we have a lot in common also except that from my house I can see Belgium. That’s kind of less interesting than you. 
SP: Well, see, we’re right next door to other countries that we all need to be working with, yes.

FNS: Some people said in the last days, and I thought that was mean, that you weren’t experienced enough in foreign relations, and you know, that’s completely false, that’s the thing I said to my great friend, the Prime Minister of Canada Stef Carse. (a country singer from Quebec who covered Billy Ray Cyrus’ Achy Breaky Heart in French)

SP: Well, he’s doing fine, too, and yeah when you come into a position underestimated, it gives you the opportunity to prove the pundits and the critics wrong. You work that much harder-

FNS: I, I was wondering because you are also next to him, one of my good friends, also, the prime minister of Quebec, Mr. Richard Z. Sirois (a famous Quebec radio host) have you met him recently? Did he come to one of your rallies? 
SP: Uh, haven’t seen him at one of the rallies, but it’s been great working with the Canadian officials in my role as governor; we have a great cooperative effort there as we work on all of our resource development projects. You know I look forward to working with you and getting to meet you personally and your beautiful wife, oh my goodness, you’ve added a lot of energy to your country, even, with that beautiful family of yours.

FNS: Thank you very much. You know my wife, Carla, would love to meet you. You know even though she was a bit jealous that I was supposed to speak to you today. [Hahahaha] 
SP: [Hahahha] Well give her a big hug from me.

FNS: You know my wife is a popular singer and a former top model and she’s so hot in bed. She even wrote a song for you. 
SP: Oh my goodness! I didn’t know that.

FNS: Yes, in French, it’s called « Du rouge à lèvres sur un cochonne » (Lipstick on a smutty girl) or if you prefer in English Joe the Plumber, [sings] It’s his life, Joe the Plumber…” 
SP: Maybe she understands  some of the unfair criticism but I bet you she is such a hard worker, too, and she realizes you just plow through that criticism like

FNS: I just want to be sure, I don’t’ quite understand the phenomenon “Joe the Plumber,” that’s not your husband, right? 
SP: Mmhmm, that’s not my husband but he’s a normal American who just works hard and doesn’t want government to take his money.

FNS: Yes, yes, I understand, we have the equivalent of Joe the Plumber in France, it’s called, “Marcel, the guy with bread under his armpit, oui.” 
SP: Right. That’s what it’s all about, is the middle class, and government needing to work for them. You’re a very good example for us here.

FNS: I  seen a bit about NBC even Fox News wasn’t an ally, an ally, sorry, about as much as usual. 
SP: Yeah that’s what we’re up against.

FNS: I must say, Governor Palin, I love the documentary they made on your life, you know, Hustler’s “Nailin Palin.” 
SP:  Oh, good, thank you. Yes.

FNS: That was really edgy. 
SP: [Laughs] Well good.

FNS: I really love you. And I must say something, so, Governor, you’ve been pranked.
By the Master Avengers. We’re two comedians from Montreal 
SP: Oohhh have we been pranked? And what radio station is this? [tries to force herself to sound nice but you can tell she’s pissed]

FNS: This is for CKOI in Montreal. 
SP: In Montreal? Tell me the radio station call letters 
[SP leaves phone, continuous griping in background, sounds like, "For chrissakes...that was ??? Just a radio station prank...chrissakes..."]

MA: Hello? If one voice can change the world for Obama, one Viagra can change the world for McCain. 
[Man’s voice in background: hang up, hang up.] 
SP Assist: Hi, I’m sorry, I have to let you go. Um, thank you.

“Wake The Nation”: Carly Simon Sings For Obama-Biden (Vid w/Lyrics)

Grab your hankies, then go grab your ballots!

 

“Let The River Run” Song Lyrics

We’re coming to the edge
running on the water
coming through the fog
your sons and daughters

Let the river run
let all the dreamers wake the nation
Come, the New Jerusalem.

Silver cities rise
the morning lights the streets that lead them
and sirens call them on with a song

It’s asking for the taking
trembling
shaking
Oh, my heart is aching

We’re coming to the edge 
running on the water
coming through the fog
your sons and daughters

We the great and small
stand on a star
and blaze a trail of desire
through the darkening dawn

It’s asking for the taking
trembling
shaking
Oh, my heart is aching

We’re coming to the edge 
running on the water
coming through the fog
your sons and daughters

Let the river run
let all the dreamers wake the nation
Come, the New Jerusalem.

Breaking: Plot To Assassinate Obama, Kill African-Americans Foiled

According to MSNBC the ATF has disrupted an alleged assassination plot on Senator Obama’s life. According to MSNBC, an accidental arrest led to the unraveling of the plot by two neo-Nazi skinheads whose alleged plans included targeting an African-American school. The school in the plot is unnamed.

More at MSNBC. 

It’s becoming painfully obvious that the McCain/Palin campaign have stirred up the emotionally fragile. The genie is out of the bottle and McCain/Palin bears some responsibility for going there with people by turning an American citizen, presidential candidate and sitting senator into a traitor.

This is the *second known plot on Obama’s life. For those who don’t remember or weren’t aware, the cops stumbled into another plot during the Dem convention in Colorado to kill Obama. The Feds rejected charging those guys and one girl as plotters, insisting they were meth-heads and not a danger.

*eta… this is actually the third alleged plot. We neglected to mention the Florida guy with the guns in the hotel.

Another Repub Bites The Dust: Ted Stevens (R) Found Guilty In Corruption Trial

Alaskan Republican Senator Ted Stevens found guilty on all seven counts in his corruption trial. The Feds charged him with accepting gifts and not reporting them. Each count carries five years.

There’s plenty of speculation on the nets that Alaskan governor Palin had more than just her Toddry husband’s “buddies” build their swanky Alaskan digs.

Can justice for the ethically-challenged Sarah Palin be far behind? Girlfriend has lots of skeletons clankling around in that Alaskan closet of hers.

Here’s hoping just that.
