Swopa!
hi.

Aloha, Swopa! Long time no see…! ;-)

Yeah, go Donna! Aww.. I think Move On is still smarting from the Betrayus ad…! I liked it myself..

I’m looking forward to seeing the entries! Should be fun, and probably some will be very touching, too.

Yuk. Unfortunately, my beloved FDL has become just another ”All Obama, All the Time and anyone who disagrees is a racist” blog :(

See you all after the primaries. (Yes, I will, reluctantly, vote for Obama if he wins the nomination)

And this will be a challenge to the Hillary team to get some ads coming up from her everydaypeople supporters

And who called you a racist?

If you don’t like moveon’s contest for their candidate, why don’t you start a similarly creative one for your own?

Here’s my idea. Take Hillary, Ferraro, mostly Hillary sound/sight bytes – you know, the ones wherein they invoke their various venomous bits – make a montage – and then at the end have Obama say, What’s up with this bitch! I don’t know who’s crazier, she or McCain.

hey Swopa !

would like to see montage of the millions of Americans who have lined up for hours to caucus for this man – was surprised to find my cynical ass weeping while reading of a fired up and ready to go 73 year old Kansas woman in a walker, waiting 2 1/2 hours in the cold to have her say and then those damn Idahoans really did me in *g*

They’re really bombing big time on Camp Pendleton.

How about a play on the “Hussain” overuse, taking a scene from “Sparticus”. where a variety of American people of all colors and sizes proclaim, “I am Hussain”

Here’s my idea……. have Obama say, What’s up with this bitch! I don’t know who’s crazier, she or McCain.

Outrageous.

with a shot of obama climbing up a fence of talking heads and dodging a spear of smear.

Wow, no shades of grey for you, huh?

That statement strikes me as black and white, utterly Rovian in it’s nature.

OT cspan reports that house will hold closed session tonight at 8 pm. More discussion on FISA tomarrow in open.

er, that’s tomorrow.

1,779 DAYZ AND THE KILLIN’ GOEZ ON AND ON AND…

EEEE-doggies, a bit of irony anyone??!!…MoveOn got started by supportin Bill Clinton and now they’re gunna put the coup de gras on Mrs. Clinton’s campaign.

Oh I jest LOVE it I tell ya…and I’m sendin’ ‘em some cash I can’t afford…no wonder corporatists and fascists hate MoveOn…nuthin wrong with Amerika that more democracy won’t cure!!

KEEP THE FAITH AND WATCH THE BASTRDS TWIST SLOWLY IN THE WIND!!

. . . Participants in the ”Obama in 30 Seconds” contest will have until April 1 to submit their entries. MoveOn members, which the organization places at 3.2 million people, will be able to vote on their favorites by watching them on the MoveOn Web site. The top 15 entries will then be judged by a panel of liberal activists, recording artists and Hollywood notables.

ummmmmmmm, isn’t this kinda the same as the voters will narrow it down and the ’superdelegates will decide the nomination’ kinda thing that everyone has been screaming about?

anyone else seeing the irony/hypocrisy here?

lol, well, now that you mention it.

Obamatons.

Jane for Superdelegate!

Actually, given the passions of the people who post and comment here, FDL has been remarkably evenhanded in its treatment of the two remaining D candidates.

Now, if Edwards was still in the race…

My parent’s back yard bordered on Camp Pendleton and I used to hear that all the time when I would go for a visit. My dad was ex-military and he said they were practicing firing cannons and tanks. Though it does sound like bombing because it is so relentless.

If only – Jane would be the superdooper Superdelegate! ;~)

Now, if Edwards was still in the race…

Or, if Gore had thrown his hat in the ring…! *g*

I must respectfully disagree. Methinks Jane operates far better as an outside agitator than as an insider who would be ultimately forced to p*ss off a good portion of the crowd when making a public decision.

loohoo–YES! jane for superdelegate! she qualifies for this entertainment panel!

i’m still shakin’ my head at the irony of it, i’m gonna send moveon a little note.

Target McBush:

Obama soundbites from his position speeches, but with a CGI dog added. The Dog would be based on Courage the Cowardly Dog as close as the lawyers would let them, but would have McBush features. In every soundbite, this dog is seen gnawing away ineffecually on Obamas leg, growling out McBush positions on whatever issue Obama is speaking about. Obama ignores him.

At the end of the commercial, an aid comes over to Obama and says “aren’t you afraid of getting bit? That mutt is everywhere with you and he’s rabid!”

Obama: I know he’s rabid, but he’s got no teeth and I want to make sure everybody ELSE knows he’s rabid!

Bruce (Apologies to the creators of Courage, if Obama actually does this)

It’s not too late!

dmac, mary enjoyed the Ihasacheeseburger link, last nite…

Heh, as if…! 8-P

Hey, awesome dmac, thanks :D

Hillary stopped by here for a chat a few months ago. Any chance we might get the good Senator from Illinois to do the same?

I’d love to congratulate him on “using his blackness effectively.”

/s

lol, then we would’ve had endless barrages of the Bilderberg Group. *g

thanks ct…….someone else sent it to her, too, this person wondered how many people sent it to her…..i had the wrong email.

come to think of it, maybe that could be the obama ad, about clinton’s campaign lately, iz not a taxi, is a clown car!

gotta go get ready, garden club tonight, wacky bunch……check back later.

”oh, the irony” back of hand on forehead. faints onto couch.

….someone else sent it to her, too, this person wondered how many people sent it to her…

Not I, I only posted it in a comment to her…! *g*

how about….simple
Obama ,looking at Michelelovingly…,picking up his darling kids….voice over…THIS MAN WILL DO whatever it takes to keep them safe,healthy,educated ,and happy,he loves them ,and we will all benefit,from his experience,knowlrdgr,and perseverance….a man of now,a man for the future Obamaa

Kommander Codpiece sez: If I was younger I’d wanna be stationed in Afghanistan.

The man is batshit insane.

-G

and his PANTS ARE ON FIRE…..

happily yes!!!

trollzzzzzzzzzzzz?

howdeeeeeee!!!

when he was younger he was traffikicing drugs iirc

What happens if the winning ad is critical of Obama?

Kucinich on the floor!

do you really think that makes any sense?

Since MoveOn has endorsed Obama, that is extremely unlikely to happen.

Dennis!!

Kucinich asks WTF? Wants to know why they have to be in a secret session. Asking hard questions.

Aaarrrgh!

My computer is out being repaired! I’m blogging on a borrowed PC, and it can’t run my video software. All my Obama video is on it. Dang!

Has anyone pointed out to him that he has two daughters, many nieces, and many nephews that are exactly the right age to serve? Even Prince Harry served. What’s wrong with the wimpy Bush family?

MoveOn scares me. They have shot themselves in the foot more than once.

I hope the Obama people get to vet these ads even if they have to do so quietly.

kuchinich calling the house out one secret meeting IRT unilateral decision making.

Go Kuch!

Whoo! Dennis is on fire!

Katrina Victims Complain That Outside Management Company Is Getting Rich on Their Misery

JOHN MORENO GONZALES
AP News

Mar 13, 2008 15:32 EST

Two and a half years after Hurricane Katrina, tens of thousands of miserable homeowners are still waiting for their government rebuilding checks, and many complain they can’t even get their calls returned. But the company that holds the big contract to distribute the aid is doing quite well for itself.

ICF International of Fairfax, Va., has posted strong profits, gone public, landed additional multimillion-dollar government contracts, and, it was learned this week, secured a potentially big raise recently from the state of Louisiana.

In the waning days of Gov. Kathleen Blanco’s administration, state officials increased the management contract ceiling from $756 million to $914 million — this, after the Legislature wanted to fire ICF over its handling of the homeowner recovery program, called Road Home.

“I’m flabbergasted that this company could be so inefficient and could mess up so consistently and for so long,” said Bill Yurt, 57, who has been living in a FEMA trailer for 2 1/2 years.

He said ICF hasn’t sent an appraiser to determine the grant amount that will resurrect his gutted house in Gentilly. And his calls to an ICF caseworker have gone unreturned for a month.

Road Home was created in June 2006 as a state-run, federally funded plan to compensate homeowners for the breach of New Orleans’ government-run levees. Homeowners can apply for grants to repair their homes, or obtain buyouts if they don’t want to fix things up.

Yet, 56,000 applicants — nearly 40 percent of the qualified total — had yet to receive a cent as of last month. Plagued by cost overruns and delays, Road Home is expected to cost the taxpayers $10 billion in federal money and has become another glaring symbol of frustration and red tape in post-Katrina New Orleans

not a secret meeting since iran-contra

Kommander Codpiece sez: If I was younger I’d wanna be stationed in Afghanistan.

Oh, yeah? And who does he expect to believe that one! When he was younger, he did everything in his power not to be stationed overseas, up to and including quitting his service obligation prematurely on the excuse that he had better things to do: work on his dad’s campaign.

But just in case he’s interested, it’s not too late. Some officers in the reserves not much younger than him have been sent to Iraq and Afghanistan. His WH term will be ending soon. He should set a good example and join up. I dare him.

Doggett! He kicked Bush’s bottom yesterday during his speech in the Budget debate.

dogget [D-tex 25th] doing a good job too.

We should be in Lloyd’s District where I live. Thanks to ingenious Districting that puts this area into Lamar Smith’s District, Doggett is denied this affluent area. They were very creative when they districted the State. I still am a Lloyd Doggett supporter, not perfect, but for Texas he is awesome.

Julie,
Why don’t you hang around and tell us why you prefer Hillary? I’ve got friends like you. Matter of fact, I’m engaged to one (*G*)

Bob in HI

I feel very suspicious of the House going into secret session. It seems to me that they might come out of that session and tomorrow use this secret session as their reason to give the Republics all they have been demanding. I agree with Dennis Kucinich that this is wrong to do-the secret session.

HAHaHaHaHa. That’s hysterical. I know I’m late to the thread, but in case you see this hackworth, I love it.

As much as I would like to see a video of Geraldine driving her candidate over the cliff, holding hands, Thelma and Louise style, I read the entry rules and there’s to be no Hil-bashing in the ads. They want it upbeat.

I personally love the new song from the new version of Hairspray: I know we’ve come so far, but we’ve got so far to go…

But you have to obtain the license for any copyrights, and I just don’t have that kind of Hollywood pull. But I’ll root for whoever does!!

I would love to have a female President. Just not Hillary. Why? Because she voted for a war that is going to cost the American taxpayers over 3 trillion dollars (and she voted for that Iraq War Resolution in 2002 without even deigning to read the National Intelligence Estimate.) She (and/or Bill) decided that she could not afford to be seen as “soft on terror,” so she voted with the other war-mongers like Joe Lieberman and John McCain.

That’s not being sensitive or caring or intelligent or a peace-loving feminist, that’s being a craven political opportunist. And, unfortunately, that’s what our “triangulating” Hillary has become. A woman who is more than willing to let thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis die, so that she can achieve an historic “first” — being the first American woman President. I fear that she has walked through too much blood to be rewarded with such a precious prize.

Imagine Lady Macbeth as President. The mind reels.
