The Kill Barack Obama Death Cult: Huckabee Shoots
MIKE Huckabee is musing about Barack Obama being killed:
During a speech before the National Rifle Association convention Friday afternoon in Louisville, Kentucky, former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee — who has endorsed presumptive GOP nominee John McCain — joked that an unexpected offstage noise was Democrat Barack Obama looking to avoid a gunman.
“That was Barack Obama, he just tripped off a chair, he’s getting ready to speak,” said the former Arkansas governor, to audience laughter. “Somebody aimed a gun at him and he dove for the floor.”
It’s the Barack Obama death cult:
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Firing blanks

Hillary Clinton’s Tibet China Poster
HILLARY Clinton’s new poster (top centre):
“Senator Clinton is a beautiful, strong and inspiring woman, and I wanted to make a poster that reflected that. Rather than putting a slogan on the poster, I chose to put her name, because she is surely the only leader at this level with whom we are all on a first-name basis, and to me, that reflects her personal warmth and connection with ordinary Americans.”
– Tony Puryear
It’s the Snow Lion Flag of a free Tibet meets China’s man of the year…
In the interests of fairness, here’s an increasingly familiar picture of Barack Obama…

No Class At The Crewe and Nantwich By–Election
TO the Crewe and Nantwich by–election and Labour Party candidate Tasmin Dunwoody is using her blog to answer the question: “Who is Edward Timpson?”
You mean the Conservative candidate?
Answer: All we know about him is he waffles lots, wants to cut the funding going to our schools, has no idea how to tackle crime and lives in a BIG mansion house on the other side of Tarporley.
It’s class war, as declared by Tamsin Dunwoody. Is she related to Moyra Tamsin Dunwoody-Kneafsey, granddaughter to former government whip Baroness Phillips, daughter to Labour MP Gwyneth Dunwoody, whose death has brought about the by-election?
It would seem so. But she’s now plain old Tamsin Dunwoody, Moyra and the hyphen-Kneafsey lost on route from her Welsh home.

John McCain Is One And A Half Barack Obamas
JOHN McCain is:
“He’s older than his wife, a little younger than his mama,
He’s old enough to be one and a half Barack Obamas.”

Miss Great Britain Says British Troops Steal From Dead Iraqis
GEMMA Garrett, Miss Great Britain and Beauties for Britain agonist in the Crew by-election, is considering the war on terror.
Expecting to hear that those fabled weapons of mass destruction were hidden by concealer, Miss Garrett instead reveals:
“I met a veteran of the Iraq war and was utterly sickened by the experiences he described.”
Oh?
“Our boys are being forced to remove blood-soaked shirts, footwear and weapons from the corpses of their fallen enemies because the equipment this Government gives them isn’t good enough.”

Obama Wants Debate With Jihadists Who Blow Up Children
HOW do you debate this, Barack Obama?
A young girl carrying explosives that killed her, an Iraqi captain and injured four soldiers was blown up by remote control, officials said today.
The incident happened as she approached an Iraqi command post in Youssifiyah, south Baghdad, earlier this morning.
Iraqi army Lieutenant Ahmed Ali confirmed that the girl, who had hidden explosives strapped to her, was the cause of the blast …
“The bomber was detonated by remote control, killing Captain Wassem al-Maamouri and injuring four soldiers,” Ali added.
Says George Bush, widely regarded as an idiot:

How To Tell If The UK Is F***ed
WRITES Devil’s Kitchen: “How to tell if your country is fucked…
… from The Nation of Shopkeepers, with assistance from Vindico.
Simple. You look around to see if there are state agencies using draconian legislation to spy on and otherwise harass civilians, while introducing ever more authoritarian laws. You check to see if, despite large amounts of job losses, your EU masters are preparing to fuck over the city in an act of pure jealousy. Noticing increasing inflation and unemployment, your government attempts to bribe the population ahead of a by-election.
You have an unelected leader…

Kate Hoey’s Labour Party Letter
KATE Hoey writes:
Dear Member of Vauxhall Labour Party,
The Members of this Party are its lifeblood and so I wanted you to be the first to know that I have now agreed to be the Mayor of London’s Commissioner for Sport.

The Indelible Hillary Clinton (Tattoo)
LUIS SALGADO sees Hillary Clinton on his thigh.
Salgado, 28, owner of the Ill Skillz (4948 N. 5th) tattoo parlor, Philadephia, has just got a portrait of Clinton inked on his leg at a tattoo convention in Baltimore.
Artist Buffalo Bill, of Sunbury, offered a free Hillary tattoo to any takers because his daughter Sarah Taby is a big Clinton supporter and thought the tattoo would give Clinton good exposure… “Hell, yeah,” Salgado says, when we asked if he voted for Clinton recently.
He likes “her experience, her motivation and the fact that she doesn’t bite her tongue.” We asked a Clinton spokesman for comment on whether the New York senator would respond in kind and get a tattoo of Salgado, but there has not yet been a reply.
Does Hillary really have that much stubble?

Jacqui Smith: How To Take Drugs And Get Away With It
SAYS JACQUI Smith, the Home Secretary: “Under my own guidelines, had I been caught in possession over 18 I should have been charged.”
Smith has admitted to having smoked cannabis a “few times”, but assures a caller to the radio show she’s talking on that it was “a lengthy period ago”.
Although what with the schizophrenic properties of weed, she cannot be certain when it was exactly, and neither can she.
(Picture: Beau Bo D’Or Website)
Smith made a note of it somewhere, and passed over the file to a data management company for safe keeping, but they’ve mislaid it and now there is a lack of proof about whatever it was she was saying earlier.

A Look At Obama, Clinton and McCain’s Handwriting
CAN their handwriting teach us about the characters of the US Presidential candidates?
Obama is very much his writing — fluid, graceful. McCain’s is angular and intense; he’s a pit bull. And look at the perfectionism in Hillary’s — straight up, precise. She is persistent and is not going to give up until she absolutely has to,” said Imberman, a court-certified graphologist based in New York.
You are going on a journey…

Political Quote Of The Day: George Bush On Golf
GEORGE Bush has done an interview with Politico and Yahoo.
With a War on Terror raging, we all of us need to amke sacrifices. Bush has given up golf.
“I don’t want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf,” he said. “I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.”
So what can you play, George? Croquet..?

Democrats And Liberals Make It A Vote On Race And Obama Finds Jesus
SO enlightened are the Democrats that the party’s two stars – Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama – have managed to the campaign into a vote based on race. It’s more like the Socialist Workers’ Party over there, albeit with less women:
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton won a lopsided victory on Tuesday over Senator Barack Obama in the West Virginia primary, where racial considerations emerged as an unusually salient factor. Mrs. Clinton drew strong support from white, working-class voters, who have spurned Mr. Obama in recent contests.

President Chavez Says Merkel Is Hitler
PRESIDENT Chávez has a weekly TV show on Sundays and on it he went for Germany’s Chancellor Merkel.
She is from the German right, the same that supported Hitler, that supported fascism, that’s the Chancellor of Germany today.

F1 More Popular Than Besancenot’s Trotskyism

Brown Sugar: Gordon Brown Is Alan Sugar’s Apprentice
WELCOME to Junior PM, the show in which Gordon Brown takes on the guise of Sir Alan Sugar in The Apprentice and looks for a new protégé.
Indeed, the Mail says Hazel Blears, the shrill Communities Secretary, has been “told that the scheme would make the Prime Minister ‘more popular than Alan Sugar’”.
That’s the dream. Gordon has been learning to fold his arms “like he means it” and begins sentences with hard-faced observations such as “My motto is…”, “I’m a go getter…” and “If anyone stands in my way I will stomp on their throat”. But Brown’s Sugar Scowl makes him look just glum.
But it’s a ten-part plan, and the first target will be to make Brown more popular than David Cameron, or Andrew Lloyd Webber, the fidgety host of TV talent show I’d Do Anything.

And here…

Ron Paul Plots GOP Convention Move Against McCain
RON Paul for President. Not a chance. But he can still cause trouble:
But what’s been largely overlooked is Paul’s candidacy as a reflection of a powerful lingering dissatisfaction with the Arizona senator among the party’s most conservative conservatives. As anticipated in late March in The Ticket, that situation could be exacerbated by today’s expected announcement from former Republican Rep. Bob Barr of Georgia for the Libertarian Party’s presidential nod, a slot held by Paul in 1988.
