My Wife,
by The Who
or Michelle (My Belle)
My life’s in jeopardy
Murdered in cold blood is what I’m gonna be
I ain’t been home since Friday night
And now my wife is coming after me
Give me police protection
Gonna buy a gun so
I can look after number one
Give me a bodyguard
A back belt Judo expert with a machine gun
Gonna buy a tank and an aeroplane
When she catches up with me
Won’t be no time to explain
She thinks I’ve been with another woman
And that’s enough to send her half insane
Gonna buy a fast car
Put on my lead boots
And take a long, long drive
I may end up spending all my money
But I’ll still be alive
All I did was have a bit too much to drink
And I picked the wrong precinct
Got picked up by the law
And now I ain’t got time to think
Gonna buy a tank and an aeroplane
When she catches up with me
Won’t be no time to explain
She thinks I’ve been with another woman
And that’s enough to send her half insane
Gonna buy a fast car
Put on my lead boots
And take a long, long drive
I may end up spending all my money
But I’ll still be alive
And I’m oh so tired of running
Gonna lay down on the floor
I gotta rest some time so
I can get to run some more
She’s comin’!
She’s comin’!
Git off me Pa! Yer crushin’ mah smokes.
As I said earlier
Cool.
Let us continue to follow Alinskys Rules for Radicals. It’ll drive them nvts (as the Romans would spell it)
In this case #4, #5, # 8, and somewhat #12

DANGIT YOU!
I heard that song this morning on the JohnBoy & Billy BigShow and just got it out of my head a little while ago. No its back...>:{
“The big deal is Obama has tried to portray himself as outside politics as usual etc.”
A politician portraying himself as “outside politics as usual” is politics as usual. It’s like saying their will be “change”.
Drivin’ that train
High on cocaine....
BHO you better
Watch your speed.......
Trouble ahead
Trouble behind...
OK...I’m working on it...
LOL
hehehe
Now everytime you see Obama you’ll think of the song!
Next.....Eric Holder.
Anybody remember who overrode the Justice Department to approve the pardon of Iraqi Oil stealing, money laundering, tax cheating, Iran trading, Clinton Library donor and scumbag Marc Rich???? Yep, it was Eric Holder!
Eric Holder was the guy Bill Clinton put the finger on when he explained in his now famous editorial explaining why Bill was really not the one who decided to pardon Marc Rich. Bill said that he got the reccomendation from Eric Holder!!!!
Eric Holder also played footsie with the Bush people when she showed up in 2000 and hoped to get a high DOJ position while he claimed that he really wasn’t a partisan and would do a good job of working for Bush. Fortunately, nobody from Austin fell for the lie. (It’s bad enough that they brought Scott McClellan with them)
It’s time for Eric Holder to step down. And that will leave only the ditz from the Kennedy clan who couldn’t screen an executive if her life depended on it.
O. the inhumanity.
He was not the man I once knew.
Has anyone else noticed Barry has yet to promise, “the most ethical administration in history”?
Holder's a piece of work...vetting billionaire felon Marc Rich's pardon, and now vetting Obama's VP selection.
But hey, keep in mind that convicted felon Sandy Berger is still on Obama's campaign payroll, too.
Obama's going to have a Who's Who of mug shots by the time his campaign staff is finished (e.g. fundraiser Rezko).
And as for Kennedy, she hardly counts. No really. She can barely count. The poor dear is mentally slow. The MSM would have to *work* to interview her.
Scratch Pete. Linc & Julie will have to go it alone.
something’s wrong with that picture, but I can’t quite put my finger on it...
ah yes! the burning American flag isn’t upside-down!!!
How Soros Financed Obama’s Campaign
30 May 2008
May 30, 2008 (LPAC)—In late 2006, George Soros, the British empire/Wall Street gatekeeper of the Left, vetted Senator Barack Obama’s potential Presidential candidacy on behalf of financier oligarchs. Soros then introduced Obama to a selected financier group, and Obama soon afterwards announced he would seek the White House.
Soros’s involvement with Obama’s brief national political career had begun two years earlier with Soros fundraising for Obama’s campaign for U.S. senate, and continued through the 2007 Presidential campaign launch with huge fundraising operations by Soros and his circle.
SOROS AND OBAMA - A Preliminary chronology
2004: The London-Wall Street axis singled out Obama, then an Illinois state senator, as their “Rising Star” in U.S. politics. The Rockefellers’ family political agency known as the League of Conservation Voters endorsed Obama in the Democratic U.S. senate primary, ran TV ads on the Rising Star theme, and directly funded Obama’s national career manager, consultant David Axelrod.
Obama’s opponent in the Democratic primary, Blair Hull, was a self-financed millionaire, so Obama used the “millionaires’ exception” to the campaign finance law to take $12,000 each from donor, six times the ordinary limit at that time. Thus nearly half of his $5 million primary funding came from 300 donors.
George Soros raised $60,000 of this Obama funding, with his own donations and those he procured from his family. Soros reportedly met with Obama first in March — a mere state senator, Obama was the only candidate in the country with whom Soros met personally during the 2004 election cycle, according to Soros spokesman Michael Vachon (quoted by CNS News, July 27, 2004). On June 7, 2004, Obama was in Soros’ New York home for an Obama campaign fundraising event.
December 4, 2006: Obama met with George Soros in Soros’ mid-town Manhattan office. After an hour interview, Soros took Obama into a conference room where a dozen plutocrats waited to talk with Obama. Key among them were UBS (Union Bank of Switzerland/Swiss Bank) U.S. chief Robert Wolf, and hedge fund manager Orin Kramer.
December, 2006, a week later, Robert Wolf had dinner in Washington D.C. with Barack Obama to map out campaign strategy.
Early January, 2007: Obama announced his Presidential candidacy. The New York Times announced that candidate Obama had nailed the support of two highest-level Democratic fundraisers: George Soros and Robert Wolf. By mid-April, 2007, Wolf had raised $500,000 for Obama.
Mid-January, 2007: Wolf ran a dinner for Obama in Washington, with potential bundlers Jim Torrey, Brian Mathis, Jamie Rubin, and (again, from the original Soros meeting) Orin Kramer.
Early March, 2007: There were two fundraisers by Wolf and one by Edgar Bronfman, Jr.
Mid-March, 2007: George Soros began a staged dance with Obama. Writing in the New York Review of Books, Soros denounced the rightist Israeli lobby, AIPAC.
March 21, 2007: Continuing the dance, the Obama campaign rebutted Soros (as in, “Obama distances himself from Soros”), and denounced the Hamas movement.
April 9, 2007: An Obama fundraising party for the New York elite was held at the home of financier Steven Gluckstern, the former chairman of George Soros’ Democracy Alliance. A photograph of the event, published (April 16, 2007) in New York magazine, showed George Soros seated immediately next to the standing, speaking Obama. Soros was enthroned as the only one in the room seated, stationed between host Gluckstern and Obama. Two months earlier Soros’s Mr. Gluckstern had been quoted in the New York Observer saying he MIGHT be raising “well over a million dollars” for Obama.
May 18, 2007: George Soros hosted an Obama party at the Greenwich, Connecticut palatial mansion of Paul Tudor Jones, who runs the giant hedge fund Tudor Investment Corporation. They collected $2,300 from each of the approximately 300 attendees, the local newspaper Greenwich Time reported.
“That’s not the Jim Johnson I knew.”
Oh, Julie. Perfect.
"Johnson? Won't see him no more."
Meanwhile, Rush Limpballs has proven to be such a great water carrier for Bush and the other Rs that Rush's cousin was recently appointed to be a federal judge for the Eastern District of MO.
My condolences to the people of Missouri.
I hereby nominate the following as Barack Hussein's new them song
