Let's discuss 'Two political meteors streak across the sky'.
There were about a dozen people gathered in my living room on Aug. 28 to watch Barack Obama's acceptance speech. I asked, "When was the last time you gathered with friends to watch a political speech?" For most, it was the first time ever. Obama's rhetoric soared to the rim of a stadium a mile high but the central message and the impressive set were grounded in the realities of the coming

| She also shot off punishing jabs to Obama, saying at one point, "I had the privilege of living most of my life in a small town. I was just your average hockey mom, and signed up for the PTA because I wanted to make my kids' public education better. And since our opponents in this presidential election seem to look down on that experience, let me explain to them what the job involves. I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a 'community organizer,' except that you have actual responsibilities." Yeah, I wonder how her diss of community organizers is playing with the poor and lower income communities who these organizers provide a vitally important service. Do RepubliCONS have any shame? Hey goof, did grandpa McSames teleprompter reading give you a thrill up your leg? PS I wonder if they got clearance for the songs they played? I can't imagine Sly Stone giving these phony pieces of s*it the rights to "everyday people". Judging from the crowd their idea of "everyday people" means a 60 year old white guy or gal with a beer gut and a country club membership.

| update- "HEART stars ANN and NANCY WILSON have slammed U.S. presidential candidate JOHN MCCAIN for using their hit song BARRACUDA as his campaign's theme song without their prior permission.
Republican leader MCCain chose the song as the theme track for his running mate Sarah Palin - whose high-school nickname was "Sarah Barracuda" because of her forceful style of playing basketball.
But the Wilsons are furious their song has been linked in with the MCCain campaign trail, and are demanding the track is scrapped from further promotional duties.
Ann Wilson first became aware of the use of her track after watching Palin's speech on TV on Wednesday (03Sep08).
According to TMZ.com, the pair has sent a 'cease and desist' letter to MCCain and Palin's representatives.
In the letter, a representative for the duo says, "The Republican campaign did not ask for permission to use the song, nor would they have been granted that permission.
"We have asked the Republican campaign publicly not to use our music. We hope our wishes will be honoured." " When these RepubliCON slime aren't stealing elections they're stealing music. Sue the b*stards.

If someone has a legal copy of a song they can do with it what they want. Just like anything else that is made.
So what the musician doesn't like where the song is played.

| I will admit to not being very fond of McCain. But the reactions from the blind Democrat supporters like cheap1 to Sarah Palin are extremely entertaining. Suddenly they are not really for equal opportunity for women. Got your panties in a wad cheap?
