    It amazes me that people won't wake up. Bush is hot air, and has not doubt made his millions on the Iraq disaster.

    RNC Retains $50 Million Cash Advantage Over DNC
    By Eric Kleefeld - June 23, 2008, 11:00AM
    Here are some new fundraising numbers that complicate the notion that Obama will have an enormous fundraising advantage over McCain this fall: The Republican National Committee now has $50 million more on hand than its Dem counterpart.

    The latest FEC filings show that the RNC raised over $24 million in the month of May alone, and has over $53 million cash on hand. By contrast, the DNC raised only $4.8 million, and has just under $4 million cash on hand -- a paltry amount compared to the national GOP's coffers.

    OT-but funny---

    check out this Newsweek article of Cinda "Vicodin Princess" McCain

    they put a nice spin on her addiction and gloss over the fact that she had an affair with John while he was married.

    "her husband did not notice when she became addicted to painkillers"

    Johnny did think the sex was oddly better when she was drooling and slurring like a stroke victim but he just chalked it up to strong MaiTai's at the Senate spouse lunches...

    McShrub reminds me of my republican brother. He likes fake vacuous women like that. The more makeup and fake tits the better. He believes that means "they got class."

    Okay McCain is really an idiot...yesterday in CA he proposed a 300 million dollar prize for anyone who could invent new battery technology that would allow for an electric car...ah do you rent videos, McSame? In the film "Who Killed the Electric Car?" they clearly showed how an older couple, who owned a high tech company, had invented the Nickel Metal Hydride battery. Chevron bought up the patent and then proceeded to bury it. Senator McCain...go to Netflix or Blockbuster and watch the film. YouTube vs Feeding Tube

    Anyway, in other news, my palm tree hasn't done nothing out there on the patio. It just sits there without sending out any new fronds. I don't know what it's waiting on and this is way into after spring and we're into to summer now. I guess we're all just waiting on something.

    It's a Majesty palm. I've been told they're a very tempermental palm and he was right. I mean, this goddamn palm will do what it wants. Last year, you couldn't stop it from growing. Now nothing. But that's fine. It looks alright there looking all weathered and wind blown like me.

    Oil crisis? What oil crisis? Read a few chapters from rev. Lindsey Williiams book " The Energy Non-Crisis".

    Expect Bush to pull a miracle out of the hat in late October and then the prices will drop pricipitously to something shocking. They already pulled this in 2004 elections, but we forget. And in 2004, the prices of gasoline wasn't comparable to now though we thought it was high.

    McCain wants to award a $300 million prize for a new car battery.

    First of all, I hate these prize ideas. ARPA's been doing prizes instead of committing the funds. It's trying to fund R&D on the cheap by only paying the winners. That's the whole problem...to do a good job you have to pay for lots of losers; to only pay the winners is not to pay at all---a winning "breakthrough" battery company won't need $300 M.

    Secondly, Mr. McCain don't waste my money on these gimmicks. Check out:

    http://www.uscar.org/guest/view_team.php?teams_...

    There is a consortium which has been funding battery development since 1992.


    John McCain and, more importantly, his staff, are incompetent.
