Classic McCain Moments…
Today’s classic McCain moment comes from August 29, 2005:
Here we have McCain and Bush celebrating McCain’s 69th (yup was even old 3 years ago) birthday while New Orleans was being obliterated by hurricane Katrina.

It’s stupid, the economy!
If you invent money and introduce it into an economy, that doesn’t matter (WRT impact on human lives) as much as where you insert it in the food chain.
It seems criminal (AS HELL!!!1!LOL) to bail out one class of debtors while throwing another class of debtors to the wolves.
If you give the bank monies in an amount equaling the cost of the defaulted mortgages, effectively paying off loans designed to fail, why can you not give the same amount of money to families in financial crisis with the stipulation that they use it to pay off their sub-prime home loans?
The bank ends up with the same amount of money either way, but fewer lives get ruined in the process (poverty kills, mofo!).
If I’m wrong, I’m wrong, but please, somebody splain this to me.
Oh right.
My bad.
A nation of happy, financially secure families creates conditions less conducive to the rise of fascism, and thus, is bad (for fascists).

Chris Matthews hits back on the lipsticked pig
After working a less than stellar show last night at the Caledonia I settled in to watch the 3am repeat of Hardball and was completely pumped to see Matthew’s off-leash and relentlessly attacking the McPalin distraction machine.
Please to enjoy:
Part 1:
and of course…
Part 2:

This is all kinds of fucked up!
I have been out of town on tour with the Buddy System and haven’t been able to find time to blog but I just got an email about the arrests of journalists at the Republican Convention and I had to post it here:
“This is America. We don’t jail journalists here.
Jailing journalists is unacceptable in a democracy. But that’s exactly what is happening at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn.
Award winning journalist and host of “Democracy Now” Amy Goodman was arrested by St. Paul police while covering a protest outside the Republican National Convention. Though clearly identified as press, Goodman was charged with “obstruction of a legal process and interference with a ‘peace officer.’” Two of her producers were arrested for “suspicion of felony riot.”
This video is upsetting, but you deserve to know what’s really going on.
Goodman and her producers were released last night. (An AP photographer was also arrested and released). But the charges are still pending.
This story has been virtually ignored by the mainstream press. The cable channels are providing extensive coverage of events related to the Republican National Convention, but there has been a virtual news blackout on the arrest of Amy Goodman and the Democracy Now team.
Americans deserve to know that journalists are being jailed for trying to do their jobs. E-mail CNN President Jonathan Klein and NBC News President Steve Capus today (NBC News controls MSNBC) to demand coverage of this brutally important story.”
So yeah, not that I’m surprised considering it was at a fascist convention but what the FUCK?!

HIJACKED!!!
Greetings People!
Anyone who visited the site yesterday may have noticed that things were amiss. We were indeed hijacked by the old robot porn pirates but thanks to our crack web enforcer Bob at TehCompany.com things are back to normal now so feel free to wander around the site and if the urge strikes why not visit the SHOP and pick up new stuff from The Buddy System or a comic while you wait for the upcoming release of Ruby Isle’s full-length “Night Shot.”
Thanks to everyone who let us know about the problem, here’s to hoping we can dodge the roboporn uprising next time!

Lewis Black: No Free Lunch!
Our friends at Noise Pop have launched The No Free Lunch Campaign with Lewis Black to show support for service industry workers being screwed by buyout firms. They can describe it better than I can so here you go…
“Comedian Lewis Black filmed a “rant” against the greed of these “Buyout Barons.” Indie rock band Radio 4 contributed a great track for it too. Go to http://www.july17action.org to check it out, and find out how you can get involved by signing a petition or registering to attend an action on July 17, 2008 in your area.
Noise Pop became friends with SEIU, the largest Union in the country that represents hospital and healthcare workers, doormen and other service employees, last year in Austin when they partnered with us at our show and Zach Galifianakis brought some comic relief about the healthcare system in this country. It was a great way to engage our audience about an important issue. Now SEIU is taking on Private Equity and once again Noise Pop has teamed up with them to produce our first short film entitled “No Free Lunch”, written and directed by Antonino D’Ambrosio of La Lutta NMC and starring hilarious political comedian Lewis Black with original music by dance-punk band
Radio 4.
Check out the video here - http://www.july17action.org/ or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASCAama93R0
Below is an article in today’s NY Times about the campaign.

Union Takes Anti-Buyout Campaign Worldwide
By MICHAEL J. de la MERCED
The Service Employees International Union, one of the country’s biggest unions, will call upon people to attend protests against buyout firms in July in 100 cities in 25 countries.”

An open letter to a failed candidate:
Earlier tonight, Hillary Clinton missed a chance to prove us all wrong. She could have defied expectations and proven herself to be a uniting force in our country. But she didn’t.
At the end of a gross display of ego and hubris, Clinton asked Americans to go to HillaryClinton.com and tell her what to do next. Well I did and so should you. Here is what I said:
Senator Clinton,
Tonight you had the opportunity to celebrate the fact that our country has just nominated the first black candidate from a major political party. Unfortunately you chose not to stand with the future president of the United States and engaged in a vain attempt to steal the spotlight on an historic day.
You owe Americans an apology for your ego driven display in New York this evening. For the good of the country, for the good of your political future and legacy, it is time for you to step aside and move on. We all have.
Sincerely,
Ryan Lewis
Click HERE to send her your own wake up call.
Tonight America moved forward towards the kind of bright future that we all deserve. Tonight I am proud to be an American after 8 years of heartbreak and an empty wallet. Tonight I pulled my cracked check card from that empty wallet and donated another $10 to the Obama campaign. Consider doing the same HERE.
