Gorillas Fight for McCain

Two posts in one day- wow, I feel productive. Anyways, I made a video mashup using greenscreen (well, technically bluescreen, but it's the same concept) technology, featuring John McCain at the RNC with a pair of battling gorillas in the background. I found it amusing- Enjoy!

A Late Update on Obama's Speech- Also, Sarah Palin? You've got to be kidding me.

Sorry, readers, for the late update on Barack's acceptance speech. I'm sure all the other blogs have already covered it, but oh well.

So Obama's speech. Absolutely incredible. He managed to get onto the offensive a little, too, which is always good, with lines saying that voting for McCain would be "taking a 10% chance on change" and that McCain "just doesn't get it". His campaign had lowered expectations for a while, saying it wouldn't be as good as '04 etc. but my expectations were certainly exceeded and I imagine that it had a similar effect on other voters.

In other, snarkier news; Sarah Palin? Seriously? Why?

Well, we all know why. I'm pretty sure that goes unsaid. But why her? I get it that she's a woman and all, but she's no Hillary. She's a conservative, anti-choice governor of Alaska. By picking her, McCain just lost his "experience" card. He could have just chosen another Republican woman: Ever heard of Elizabeth Dole? I guess McCain hasn't. It's actually insulting to Hillary supporters, really. I mean, Palin is the epitome of "baking cookies". She's an ex pageant girl; as Miss Alaska, he so-called special talent was whistling. Now that's just ridiculous.

I really can't stop laughing. Sarah Palin. That's pathetic, even for McBush.

On Hillary Clinton's Speech

Not much left to say- I'm a little late covering it. Still, I just wanted to commend Hillary on a great speech last night. Hopefully that'll help convince all those "Democrats for McCain" voters- if they really are Democrats for McCain at all. I've honestly started believing that all this disunity is a scam created by the McBush campaign to try and convince actual Democrats to vote for him. I've looked at their various websites, and they seem like Republicans on there...

Anyways, back to the subject of the convention. Great speech, great for unity. I was actually getting a little worried there when she started onto why she ran, but she tied it up nicely with "that's why I ran, that's why I support Barack Obama". Also, I appreciate her taking a shot at John McCain, something that hasn't been done that often at the DNC as of this posting.

I'm really looking forward to Biden's speech- hopefully he'll continue with the offensive, as well as chalk up some points with working class voters. I'll just be waiting with our fingers crossed and my TV pundits talking until he speaks.

I think I'll blog a little extra more...

Ah....Dubya is at it again. Apparently, in a recent talk with the Lincoln Welding company in Ohio, he has blessed us with yet another Bushism, this one on the topic of conservation of energy. He brilliantly (coughcough) stated that "people are plenty wise about how to conserve", adding that they are "making the choices about whether you want to drive a little extra more or not drive extra more".

Also, Bush had an explanation as to the high price of gas. He states that "when you hear "my gasoline prices are going up," you got to understand the main reason why is because oil prices are going up. "



In case you want to read the rest of his speech, here's the link.

I'd also like to make a quick shout-out to my aunt and uncle, who are apparently reading this (even though they're conservative). Thanks for taking time out from reading your Ann Coulter books and watching Fox News! Meheheh....I tease. Anyway, here's the website of my Aunt's company, La Vie en Rose Party Favors. Check it out if you're in need for supplies for Obama's inauguration party....*smirk*.

Obama "kozy" with Sarkozy

Obama met with French President Nicholas Sarkozy, and pretty much got as much of an endorsement as a candidate can get from another country. According to the New York Times, Sarkozy spent time praising Obama and wishing him luck on his campaign, concluding by saying that while “Americans will chose their presidents you know, not I [Sarkozy],” he wishes “Good luck to Barack Obama, if he is chosen, then France will be delighted. If it is someone else, France will be [still] be the friend of the United States of America.” Obama also complimented the French President, joking that Sarkozy was the reason we Americans are "calling French Fries French Fries again".

The two also had a private meeting, and the Times says that they talked about the need to work together regarding Iran's nuclear program, Afghanistan, and global warming, among other issues. Sarkozy stated that Obama would "change the way the world views the United States". I must say, he hit the nail on the head with that comment.

Also, at the risk of being accused of being part of a "cult of personality", I have to comment on that picture. Honestly, doesn't Obama look so presidential there? They even match....but I digress. It's this ability to cooperate with other world leaders that'll make Obama good with foreign policy, as much as his opponents complain that he is "inexperienced". Still, I'm sure the conservatives will find a way to spin this as "elitism" or "being too French" (like they did with Kerry). Pray tell, when did eloquence and class start equalling elitism? Oh well, we'll just have to see how this plays out. Until next post, this is Stephanie, your Peewee Pundit, signing off.
