Obama Site Linked to 'Bush Shoe Toss' Event
« on: January 09, 2009, 08:05:04 PM »



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."

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.

My fellow Americans, there is nothing audacious about hope. Hope is what makes people buy lottery tickets instead of paying the bills. Hope is for the old gals feeding the slots in Atlantic City. It destroys the inner-city kid who quits school because he hopes he'll be a world-famous recording artist.

What's the difference between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama?

One is a well turned-out, good-looking, and let's be honest, pretty sexy piece of eye-candy.

The other kills her own food.

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.
