Is this the Apocalypse? Paris Hilton has a better enery plan than Nancy Pelosi?!

See more funny videos at Funny or Die

Someone, please tell me if Doomsday arrived much earlier than I thought it would. How does Paris Hilton... or at least, whoever wrote this video for her (maybe it was her, I don't know) have a better energy policy than Nancy Pelosi, whose only energy policy is "NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

I'm sure the major media is going to somehow say Paris is slighting McCain. But I don't think so. Its just a fun video, much like I think McCain thought his was. Besides, the video mostly agrees with McCain's policies... and maybe Obama's NEW policies. But Pelosi's policies... those have GOT to GO.

I'm Patrick, and I approved this message, because its totally hot.

The Revolution Will NOT be Televised...

"When the Revolution comes..."

So, it seems some Republicans in the House of Representatives finally grew some backbone. They were scheduled to go on vacation, but seizing on the high gas prices and the need for a new energy policy with more oil drilling, more coal, more nuclear and other measures... they decided they wanted to work through the break to discuss it. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi decided that since she is a hard core leftist and she doesn't agree with any of that... that not only was the House going on vacation anyway, but that she was going to personally order the cameras and lights in the House turned off. Wow. Is this the new, open, democracy that Pelosi promised when she came into office.

The Republican Revolution is supposed to continue today. Obama now is giving a speech saying he would agree with new oil drilling, more coal, and more nuclear... but is also proposing hundreds of billions of dollars in new spending to create "green" technology and Obama is also trashing the oil companies and somehow blaming them for our energy infrastructure being old. But... at least he moved a little on this oil, coal, nuclear issues (at least for today).

The Republicans need to keep hammering this and hammering this, and hammering it. Oh my God. Hold on. Obama just said we can find every available source of oil in this country and it would only be enough for a few years. What is he talking about?! There is enough oil in the world for hundreds of years. This is the kinda stuff Obama says that makes him look like an idiot. He wants to tax the oil companies to pay for hundreds of billions of dollars in new spending. The federal government already makes billions off of the sale of oil through taxes already. He has proposed using oil money for about 15 different things. New schools, a tax refund, new green technology, new roads, new cars... it can't possibly pay for all of that stuff. And not only that, but how are new taxes going to decrease gas prices? And where do oil companies get their money from anyway? US! So who is really going to be paying these new taxes? US. This is just government populism at its worst.

Anyway, the Republicans need to hammer this. They need to make this part of the national election so they can tie the Presidential election to the Congressional elections. This is a losing issue for the Democrats in Congress. Republicans had better NOT lose their testicular fortitude on this one.

Can this Man Speak English???

Good LORD! This is insane. The media, the Democrat Party, and the Obama campaign has held up this man, Obama as being one of the greatest speakers we've seen in recent American history. The man can give a good speech. The speeches don't really say anything, but they sound fine and he gets through them just fine.

But Obama can seemingly barely speak English when he is giving a press conference. This is silly. For all the bashing that President Bush has taken in the last 8 years regarding his speeches and his mannerisms during press conferences... Obama makes Bush look good.

I've tried to give him the benefit of the doubt. When I saw him barely being able to answer questions during debates in the primaries without stuttering over himself... I just assumed he was still getting use to the spotlight. But his stuttering and his "uhs" and his "ands" and his contradicting himself within a single answer continued throughout the primaries and has continued into the summer.

During a press conference on his European trip I saw him stutter and stutter and continue to stutter his way through a press conference. He complained when he was asked two part questions, he lectured the media on how they were to ask him questions; the whole thing was embarresing. Since when does the President get to lecture to the press how many parts are in a question they ask him. If Bush acted like that, the Press would laugh at him. But somehow with Obama, its OK.

Now I'm watching a press conference with Obama and the President of France, Sarkozy and he continues to stutter and "uh" and "and". He was asked a simple question about if he has learned anything or changed his mind about anything since being on this trip and he could barely put an answer together that I could have given for him. As soon as the question was asked, I in fact did answer for him. "NO" He hasn't learner anything, he hasn't changed his mind about anything. He still thinks he was right about being opposed to the surge, even though it worked. It took him forever to basically say what I said for him. NO, he hasn't changed his mind.

Obama is the New Messiah, why should he have to change his mind.

Obama "refines" his position on issues, then blames the media for calling him on it...

On Thursday, July 3rd Obama made a statement that in the future, after visiting Iraq and talking to the generals on the ground that he may "refine" his position in Iraq. Fine. I personally don't have a problem with that statement. Except to say that maybe he should go visit Iraq now since he never has and he's been destroying our efforts there for years. But I digress...

The Left Wing though; Iraq is THE issue. We have to get out NOW. That is what Obama has been running on. That was the primary difference between him and the other candidates. He never voted for it, he never supported it, and he advocated getting out immediately. Then he makes these comments about how his position may be refined. So, the media starts talking about it and people stop freaking out and Obama has to hold another press conference on the same day to clarify his remarks.

So, he reiterated his position of removing troops within sixteen months. But then he went out there and blamed the media for analyzing every single word he says. Excuse me sir, but you have thrown yourself out there to run for the Presidency. Everything the President says is analyzed. This is one gigantic job interview your in now and everything you say in an interview is heard and talked about seriously. You have held yourself out there as the greatest communicator in a generation, so don't blame the media for not letting you get away with clearly trying to change from a major position that you ran on.

The truth is Obama, we know that there's a better than even chance that you will NOT remove the troops that fast and you know it too. But, you are terrified of letting the cooky left figure that out because that is the primary thing you ran on. So why don't you show some back bone, stick to your lie, and not blame the media when they call you on altering your positions during this general election. They already let you get away with altering your position on gun control, NAFTA, and abortion. But they are NOT going to let you get away with moving on Iraq. Not until you get elected at least.

This Just In: Freedom Does Reign in America!

Yes, its true. I was feeling kinda tense about it for a good half hour or so while I was listening to the radio on the way home, but the Supreme Court managed to do something right. In its hearing of the Washington D.C. Gun Ban, it upheld the rights of individuals to own guns in a 5-4 decision.
I haven't read the decision yet because it literally just came out. But a 5-4 decision? C'mon, this should have been 9-0 or at least 8-1. The 2nd Amendment specifically talks about the rights of the PEOPLE to keep and bear arms. Its going to be very interesting to see how this plays out in D.C. as a city... and inside the beltway with the politicians in Congress and the two Presidential Candidates.

I'm sure there are going to be stories in the coming weeks and months of D.C. residents buying loads of guns. Ah.... freedom smells good in the morning.

President Bush Endorses Drilling

Finally, someone in the Republican Party is having the courage to stand up and endorse drilling for more oil in this country. Finally, a leader is going to stand up against all this environmentalist, Democrat Party nonsense that drilling for oil is not going to make gas cheaper.

I pray, I really do that President Bush has the testicular fortitude to stick this out and to continue to advocate this until the end of his term. There are going to be bullets coming from everywhere about this. Environmentalists are going to say thats its bad for the world if we drill, despite the fact that China, thats right, CHINA is drilling 60 miles off our shores. They are going to say that we won't get any of this oil for 10 years, which is a silly statement. They are going to say we need to invest in alternative sources of energy. Fine.

This country can drill for oil cleaner and more efficiently that any other country, so why should the burden be on China and OPEC and the rest. Why should China be drilling for more oil off our shores, but not us? So what if it takes a few years to bring the oil to market. Someone has to do it. If the worldwide supplies of oil remain stagnant while the worldwide thirst for oil skyrockets, the prices are going to continually go up and up and up. We need to invest in alternative forms of energy, fine, go do it. If there's a company out there who thinks they can make money by selling hydrogen powered cars, fine. Do it. If there's a company who thinks they can make money with wind farms to generate electricity. Fine, go do it. That's what America is all about. But lets not kid ourselves into thinking that we are not going to be using oil, because we are. Oil is going to be used for decades and decades and decades, even if there are alternatives because the alternatives alone are not going to be able to solve the problem. If we covered the entire country with corn farms we would not be able to produce enough ethanol to power all the cars in this country, so don't tell me that alternatives are the only thing we need to focus on. Especially since cars are not the only thing we have that use oil for fuel.

Will McCain capitalize on Obama's liberalism?... No,

If we had anyone in this race who could even remotely be called a conservative, I think this race could be very different. Maybe even a slam dunk for the republicans. But John McCain is focusing on being a maverick republican and an independant.

I would love for someone to find for me an example of when a member of a party won the presidency by actively throwing his party under the bus, trashing the base of the party and by trashing President Bush every chance he gets. Not only that, but he does so using liberal and democratic party talking points.

What is McCain thinking? Does he think that by running against the republican party he can avoid the "Bush's 3rd Term" tag? Well he can't. So he better stop acting like trashing Bush is the way to win as a Republican Party candidate. I've got news for McCain: I would rather vote for President Bush again that vote for McCain. I truely believe that if Bush had been allowed to run again he would have beaten McCain in the primaries. I also have a slightly insane belief that President Bush could beat Obama.

McCain needs to stop trashing President Bush over the economy, Hurricane Katrina, and energy policy. President Bush may have low approval numbers, but he is not hated. Not in the Republican party anyway; if McCain wants to have any chance of winning he better stop trashing Republicans, conservatives and President Bush every chance he gets and start focusing on Obama.

You know, I too can be a maverick Republican. I don't have to vote for McCain just because I happen to be a Republican. We can all be maverick Republicans Mr. McCain, maybe then you'll see what its like to be abandoned by people who were ostensibly on your side.
