Joe Biden's speech in Seattle
[Joe Biden, speaking at a fundraiser in Seattle]
"Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. ... Remember I said it standing here if you don't remember anything else I said. Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.
"I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate. ... And he's gonna need help. And the kind of help he's gonna need is, he's gonna need you ... to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it's not gonna be apparent initially, it's not gonna be apparent that we're right. ... Gird your loins. We're gonna win with your help, God willing, we're gonna win, but this is not gonna be an easy ride. ...
"This guy has it. But he's gonna need your help. Because I promise you, you all are gonna be sitting here a year from now going, 'Oh, my God, why are they there in the polls? Why is the polling so down? Why is this thing so tough?' We're gonna have to make some incredibly tough decisions in the first two years. So I'm asking you now ... be prepared to stick with us. ... There are gonna be a lot of you who want to go, 'Whoa, wait a minute, yo, whoa, whoa, I don't know about that decision.' Because if you think the decision is sound when they're made ... they're not likely to be as popular as they are sound. Because if they're popular, they're probably not sound. ...
"I probably shouldn't have said all this because it dawned on me that the press is here."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“I think he can be ready, but right now I don’t believe he is. The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the- job-training.”
- Joe Biden on Barak Obama 2007

Illegal Aliens Support?
Many of you will recall that on July 8, 1947, a little over 60 years ago, witnesses claim that an unidentified flying object (UFO) with five aliens aboard, crashed onto a sheep and cattle ranch just outside Roswell, New Mexico.
This is a well known incident that many say has long been covered up by the U.S.
Air Force and other federal agencies and organizations.
However, what you may NOT know is that in the month of April 1948, nine months after that historic day, the following people were born:
Albert A. Gore, Jr.
Hillary Rodham
John F. Kerry
William J. Clinton
Howard Dean
Nancy Pelosi
Dianne Feinstein
Charles E. Schumer
Barbara Boxer
See what happens when aliens breed with sheep?
I certainly hope this bit of information clears up a lot of things for
you. It did for me.
No wonder they support the bill to help illegal aliens!!
Now you know.

We, in Ireland , can't figure out...
We, in Ireland , can't figure out why you people are even bothering to hold an election in the United States .
On one side, you have a pants wearing lawyer, married to a lawyer who can't keep his pants on, who just lost a long and heated primary against a lawyer who goes to the wrong church who is married to yet another lawyer who doesn't even like the country her husband wants to run.
Now...On the other side, you have a nice old war hero whose name starts with the appropriate 'Mc' terminology, married to a good looking younger woman who owns a beer distributorship.
What in the Lords name are you lads thinking over there in the colonies??

Dem's Dereliction
When the Democrats took control of Congress in 2007, and oil was $50 a
barrel and corn $2 a bushel, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate
Majority Leader Harry Reid promised an energy plan. We're still waiting
for it. Today, crude oil is $134 and corn is $6.50.

A day on the links with the round mound whose swing will astound.
LIFE OF REILLY
A day on the links with the round mound whose swing will astound.
By Rick Reilly
Have
you ever secretly longed to comb through airplane wreckage? Had a
morbid curiosity about autopsies? Wanted to tour a torture camp?
I
have.
That's why I purposely set out to play golf with Charles Barkley.
Wait, don't get mad! I've never met anybody in sports I admire more
than Sir Charles. He is more fun than a Dubai expense account. He is
unfailingly hilarious, generous and honest.
But his golf swing?
Technically, it's not even a swing. It's a lunge. Scientists study it.
He gets to the top, starts down and then—two feet from impact—just
stops! Totally freezes! He looks like a man waiting for a rattlesnake
to pop up so he can kill it. It's the only swing in the world with an
intermission. Me, I'd quit and take up the tuba. But not Barkley. He
plays golf all the time.
"HE POURED PATRON—HIS TAB TOPPED $10K."
Which
is where I came in. Through a clerical error, I was invited to play in
this country's best celebrity golf tournament, the American Century
Championship on the shore of Lake Tahoe. It was bizarre and cool at the
same time. There were rooms in which every face you saw was famous.
When was the last time the four people ahead of you in the taco-bar
line were Lance Armstrong, Kate Hudson, Al Michaels and Lou Holtz?
(Random
celebrity observations from the week: Michael Jordan's girlfriend is
scorching. Aaron Rodgers nearly gets a facial tic when asked about
Brett Favre. Ray Allen can actually rap. After a bad shot, Ray Romano
will yell, "I could rip off my own ear!" Jessica Simpson, in town with
boyfriend Tony Romo, is not a stickler for detail. When I asked her,
"Jessica, is today your birthday?" she replied: "Yes! No! Wait!
Yesterday! No, wait, is today the 12th? Then, day before yesterday? I
don't know!")
Anyway, after much begging I was paired with
Barkley for the first round. The night before, as I walked through the
casino to go to bed, I saw him. He was standing on a stage, pouring
mobs of people shots of Patron, on his tab, which would top $10,000. So
you knew he was taking me seriously.
We had the day's largest
gallery for two reasons: (1) The mayor of South Lake Tahoe declared it
Charles Barkley Day to honor the $100,000 he donated to locals who'd
lost their homes in fires; and (2) people wanted to see the Incredible
Hiccuping Swing.
I have bad news. I saw it up close—and it's
getting worse. In one fairway bunker Barkley took it back, froze as
usual, then suddenly flinched and aborted the swing altogether. Balk.
He gathered himself and made another run but, again, could not bring
himself to finish the last two feet. It was like a man trying to shoot
a favorite old cow. The third time, he finally swung but whiffed. On
the fourth, he hit it. And this was only the first hole.
When
Barkley freeze-flails, people laugh, shriek and gasp, but it's not
funny. It is a pox on his life. "I've tried everything," Barkley says.
"Tiger can't help me 'cause the hitch is there no matter what. I even
tried getting hypnotized for 45 minutes and still woke up with the same
crappy swing." And so it went the rest of the day: Barkley making
people laugh and hug him, interrupted by these sporadic fits that made
them look away in sympathy. "Hey, I know I suck," he yelled on the
eighth hole, still lying two and not yet to the women's tees, "but I
got nice equipment."
Thing is, he never stops having fun. I
missed a putt badly on 12 and told the crowd, "I forgot—every green
breaks toward Charles." He counterpunched with "Uh-oh, God don't like
you bein' mean to fat people." Toward the end, I asked him why he puts
himself through it. "Beats working," he shrugged.
Overall, in
this 54-hole Stableford tourney, in which double bogey is the most you
can take, Barkley took the max on 41 holes and finished last by a large
county. No wonder that, in Barkley's group, the sign boy was given no
numbers.
The best player of the week was ex-MLB pitcher Rick
Rhoden. The wettest was Romo, who fell in a pond at No. 1 on Saturday.
And perhaps the happiest was Rodgers, who was introduced at the first
tee on Sunday as a "Green Bay Packers quarterback." Rodgers corrected
the announcer, "Starting quarterback."
As for the nobody among
the 82 celebs, I finished with a plus-two, good for 53rd place. But on
the plus side, I was low sportswriter and beat Michael Jordan.
One
other crucial thing: I can remember when my birthday is.
