Colin Powell held a press conference in Washington, D.C., on Friday, touting the launch of Barack Obama's new website, USAService.org, which allows Americans to find -- and to promote -- local service opportunities that are searchable by zip code.
President Bush's former Secretary of State said he was on the site this morning and vouched for its usefulness.
But here's betting that Powell didn't have time to go through all of the events on it.
Wanting to see how the website works, I typed in my hometown zip code in Los Angeles to find events within a 10 mile radius.
It pointed me to several events including a blood drive, a graffiti clean-up, and an "Obama Celebration and Bush Shoe Toss."
The event, which was listed as a "Day of Service - January 19," is taking place at the soon-to-open Carnivale Café on the corner of Vermont and Normal.
"Come Celebrate with us" wrote Gilbert Gazan, 46, in the event's description. "Say good bye to old Georgie . . . Throw a shoe at poster of Bush and win a free drink."

Actually, I suspect this is a weekly thing, nothing unusual.

Checking the specifics of the event, it seems as if there's going to be a movie presentation of Martin Luther King, Jr., the 19th of January being that day.
Now, while these old guys probably have nothing against Martin Luther King, Jr., I doubt any of them are going to get all agog and excited about it; the presentation might as well be about the life and times of Colonel House.

how do you win an election running against someone not on the ballot ?
America is getting damned pathetic.

When it's continually drilled into your head night after night day after day via tv radio and newspapers that Voting for Candidate X is just a third term for President Y...people whether they realize it or not...begin to believe the lie.
