Manhattan Offender

John McCain has been his party's presumptive nominee for months now and was only just now able to select a running mate. Granted this tells us more about the media than it does McCain.

Why is this obvious story hook not pursued?  McCain has waited until Obama, who started the process much later, chosen his nominee.  Is this because McCain is simply calculating?  Or indecisive?  Or is it because, well, he really doesn't want to be stuck with Romney?

In the end it is just another illustration of the majority of reporters being unable to find a story unless it is fed to them.

Every combination of Obama and Biden as a domain name has been cybersquatted. Tick-tock starts now on how soon they will be turned over to the campaign.

Oh, crafty URL hounds.  You've bought up every combination of Obama and Biden.  You're even selling them on eBay.  Despite your bad-faith domain name purchase, you've made a crafty purchase as US law only protects corporate trademarked products, there is no legal way you can be stopped.

It can be assumed you'll soon face the Internet's pantheon of gods as your purchases will not stand up against their protocols.  (Have you learned nothing from Madonna?)  Unless you fill up those sites with content soon, you'll soon be stripped of what you found to be crafty choices.  (And no, obamabiden.net, an empty Wordpress page isn't going to cut it.)  Granted, maybe you can find another sucker to sell off, but starting with an asking price of $100K isn't going to land you the sucker you're seeking.

Adam4Obama?

With one of the founders of Manhunt contributing the maximum to the McCain campaign (when he's not busy destroying gay culture), the tops, bottoms, versatiles, oral onlies, top/verses, bottom/verses, and datings crowd is faced with a challenge.  Drop ManHunt in a voice to power sort of move or choose another site to find random play?

Adam4Adam, possibly seeing an opportunity in the ManHunt news, is now showing an ad for Obama.

UPDATE:  The contributing founder is out at ManHunt.  Nice try, though Adam4Adam!

Most people didn't vote for John Edwards because they thought he was sort of a pussy. Turns out he's pretty much a regular guy.

Or maybe that's just me.  Oh, but Rielle?  Really?  Oof.

Technology's Turd Princess Carly Fiorina wants you to vote for John McCain

Once upon a time, Hewlett Packard had all the coolest things for the nerd shopper.  Also, they had good printers that lasted for a very long time.  Then Carly Fiorina became the Chairman and CEO Turd Princess of HP.  The printers became disposable with cartridges that made forty prints if you were lucky.  All items in the line became "styled up".  And they merged with Compaq in an effort to make even more things suck.  Now the Turd Princess is speaking about why John McCain is good for technology after she spent years transforming the consumer technology marketplace into a turd factory.  People in the McCain camp think this is awesome and that the Turd Princess would make a good Vice President of the United States.  This is all you need to know.  The end.

Bill Clinton gives great advice

Ferraro was a very, very lucky broad

"If Ferraro was a white man, she would not be in this position. And if she was a man she would not be in this position. She happens to be very lucky to be who she is. And the country is caught up in the concept."

In 1984, the above could have been easily said of the Congresswoman from New York elevated to the Vice Presidential nomination. And Ferraro would have made sure the person saying woke up with a horse's head in their bed.

Obama Edwards Clinton is not a sentence. It's a question.

CNN has called South Carolina for Obama.  According to CNN, the majority of black voters voted for him and the majority of white women voted for Clinton.  Oh, and the majority of white men voted for Edwards.  So congratulations to CNN for breaking us down to mindless drones that like to vote for things that look like what we see in the mirror.

Meanwhile, we are ten days away from a primary where real people live.  As in the types of people that live in real places.  How to not put it rudely?  There isn't one really.  But the results in California and New York are much more interesting to me than the states that have voted to date.

I'm undecided and will be exploring all of the candidates in the next few days leading up to the primary.  Republicans and Democrats.  (Until 2000, I was a registered Republican.  Ick, right?)  At this point, my heart is for Obama, and my head is for Clinton.  (My cock never commits.)

So to the candidates websites I'll go, parsing through to try to find someone worthy of my vote.  It won't be easy.

Can you please tell me again why Al Gore isn't running for President?

Although I don't agree with everything he's saying here, it is the most advanced and human thing I've heard from a politician in, oh, forever? Big version post-jump.  Via About a Boy.
