Please click on the link and enjoy political cartoons. I hope you will enjoy them. I will try to make this a weekly feature for a Saturday.

Professor's Poll Watch

Another Saturday nite and I ain't got nobody........sorry, Sam Cook came to mind.

In a Fox news poll, the question was, if there is another terrorist attack on the US, who would you want to be president?

50% said Rudy

36% said Hillary

Of course a poll taken by FOX you would think that the Repub would have the inside track.


REMINDER: 11% Approval for the Congress. Thinking.....thinking.....thinking.......But yet with the next election one of the two parties that are so disapproved will be elected to run the country. I would say that Einstein was right--Americans Are Insane!!!!

Have a weekend and may the bird of happiness crap on your car.

Political Quote Of The Week

Time for another bit of wisdom from people a lot smarter than the ones we must deal with now. This quote says it all for me.


A politician thinks of the next election - a statesman of the next generation. - James Freeman Clarke


The US has not had a statesman in so long that it is ancient history. And in that lies the problems of the country. No one thinks beyond their next election.

Burma---What is The Difference

Well to begin with Professor it is Myanmar, at least for now. Let's go to the news--yesterday the military junta and its lackeys killed 9 pro-democracy protesters in the streets of Yangon or is it Rangoon or maybe it is ............ It is all so damn confusing!

But yet, an Israeli air strike kills 11 people in Gaza and the news is silent. What is the difference? Professor..Professor....Professor (he said shaking his head).....the difference is Israel is a "democracy' and Myanmar is a military dictatorship. And that means.....? Israel is a good guy that we support and Myanmar is not.

So the difference is politics? Pretty good answer and yes it is. The whole situation and the condemnation is about politics. The Congress is in the process of condemning the UN because the UN condemned Israel. That whole thing is just silly.

I apologize but the dead do not care what side of a political question you are on. Gaza is in the hands of terrorists and as such it apparently is just ducky to kill civilians as long as you use the word terrorists someplace in the story.

So because no one else has the nuts to do it--I CONDEMN THE GOVERNMENT OF MYANMAR AND ISRAEL FOR THE DEATHS OF CIVILIANS.

So speaks the Professor!

Bush Seeks More War Funds

And he will probably get them. The Dems are trying to put some earmarks on the bill to accomplish something. It may work or who knows. It will depend on how bad the Prez wants to extra funds.

But wait! The Admin has said the extra money will be for equipment repair, safer vehicles, and.....wait....,wait...safer vehicles? You mean the troops, who are the most important thing to this admin, at least that is their line, still does not have safer vehicles? WHY?

This is a sad thing the Admin is doing! If the Dems defeat the call for more funds, the Repubs will use it as an election tool to make the Dems seem as if they are abandoning the troops. What a sick, sick and perverted game these a/holes play. When will the people realize just how perverted these people are? Unfortunately, not in my lifetime. I can only hope that somewhere down the line people will realize just how sick politicians are and hopefully will do something about it.

But, I ask a lot and I know that deep down the people will just roll over and ignore the crap so they do not have to think.

DUCK! The Minorities Are Coming!

The Republican front runners are ducking another minority forum. Rudy,Mitt,McCain and Thompson all are ducking the African-American forum in Baltimore. They cite scheduling as the reason they cannot attend. Scheduling problems? Is that not the same lame excuse they used for not appearing at a Hispanic forum?

What are the Repubs afraid of they would purposefully duck out on a voting bloc? Could it be that they have nothing for minorities? The Repubs spend all their time telling us how they want to help companies make all the money and that they have NO idea what to do with the domestic side of the election. Any stand on a domestic issue that they may have gives companies a free hand with the people. Not one of them has a descent domestic stand. They spend all their time playing the Bush Fear Card and none on the policies that would actually help the American people.

So, with that said--Repubs are cowards! They had rather duck out of a fight than stand their ground and tell the people where they stand on the issues.

THEY ARE COWARDS!!!!!! I do not want a coward running my country. How about you?

To Break A Union

I have heard it said that the newest thing between GM and the UAW would be to break the back of the union and I agreed with that analysis, at first, but now I do not. Why? Because the Union is already broken. The GM lost nothing and gain everything. The stock went up by 9% on Wednesday after the announcement that the strike was over. That one fact shows that GM won that round for investors see it as a good thing and will make them money.

The Union is now saddled with the retirement fund and health care and less wages and etc.....where did they win? This will only help the final demise of the Unions in the US, for they are being shown to have less and less strength when it come to contract negotiations.

Now UAW moves on to Chrysler and Ford and the workers there had better put their heads between their knees and kiss their asses good-bye. They will be just as screwed as their GM comrades.

Enough said? I think so!

Democratic Debates--Again!

Last night in NH the democratic candidates came together for another debate; this time the pre-season is over and the real presidential season has begun. I will admit that they were much better than the ones in the past, where everyone so damn polite to each other that you could contract diabetes by listening to them. The night was mostly rules by foreign policy and healthcare.

My take on the winners and losers.

Clinton won the night--not because of her stances on the issue, which are still pretty vague and old school, but because she was attacked from all sides and she remained calm and presidential. She held it together during the constant attacks on her issues and policies.

Second was Biden, he still has the passion and conviction of his stances and made good points on the war and such.

Third was Edwards--not because of his issues, but rather his desperation and his blatant attacks.

Then there is Obama--he looked better than he has in the past; calmer and more serene, but he still does not impress me much on how he handles the issues. He was not outstanding, IMO.

Finally, there are Dodd, Richardson, Kucinich and Gravel--all we just there. Kucinich, as usual was confrontational but not to the point that anyone will listen. I still like his style, but who am I? Dodd? I am not sure about anything. The rest were just there.

The only high point, IMO, was when they were asked about the troops coming home. Kucinich said as soon as he was president, Biden said less than a year or so, the rest would not commit. A minus in my book.

This is how I see it, not the same as the media, but I am more accurate.

Bush's New Attack Dog

Bush was only at the podium for about 15 minutes and everyone I talked with wondered why he did not mention Iran more and the problems with the nuke thing. I too wondered but then my mental questions were answered. The French President took the podium and began attacking Iran. Time and time again he would come back to the Iran situation. Blair is gone and hopefully soon forgotten, but now Bush has a new attack dog to do all his dirty work for him, that is Sarkozy! He even threatened Iran with war at one point. We are heading down a road that will lead only to the dead end of war. Someone has got to step up and stop this madness before these little mental midgets do something that will effect the whole world adversely.

When will the tiny minds of Americans grasp the horrible consequence of these actions? It is pure stupidity to ignore or defend this bullsh*t! It will NOT make the US a safer and more secure place! You might want to pay attention, a good start would be to remove your head from your ass.

Iranian President And The Media

The media has been all over the President of Iran and his visit. He has been called many things by many people. I am sure that some of the stuff he has been accused of are accurate, but please I thought we were above the name calling and making fun of some one's appearance. Apparently, I was mistaken.

I heard pundits on TV and read some of the criticism, like he is a buffoon, he is short, he is a horrible dresser, yada. But think about it people! There was another short guy, that the world thought was a buffoon and had this stupid little moustache. If I recall correctly, the world did not laugh for very long and he assisted in the deaths of a lot of people.

May I suggest that you take the man seriously, even though you may not like the guy, he is the leader of a country. By not taking him seriously the consequences could have long ranging problems for many many years.

Okay, the GA meeting, the US would not be seated while the Iranian president spoke. Why? Why act like a spoiled little turd? we may not agree with the man, but try to act like an adult. By not being there, the message is that we do not want to hear anything this man has to say. And that attitude will bite us in the butt, eventually.

The media has played its part well in the drama that the Bush Admin has orchestrated. They have attacked the Iranian president on many sides and done all they could to continue the presumption that he is somehow less than human. The American people have bought into the whole tabloid mentality in handling the Iranian president. A sad indictment of the mentality of the American people!

Obama Is Being Called Names

It would appear that the administration has sunk into the level of the rest of the conservative dinks. Someone has called Obama "intellectually lazy", meaning? No one is quite sure what they mean, but it has been said and now the Obama campaign has to respond. Yes, they have to respond or appear to be weak and inconsistent.

IMO, it is their attempt to sabotage the campaign because of his not voting on the MoveOn, org. Obama needs to jump on this immediately, for the longer he waits the more validity it will hold in the media. Dems have this tendency to wait and see what will transpire and it bites them in the butt. Clinton seems to be the only one who wastes no time striking back. By not striking back, Obama, will look more and more like the inexperienced candidate that all are trying to paint him.

Recently Bush said that Clinton appears to be the nominee. That could be seen as an attempt to influence the voters by painting a mental picture that Bush supports Clinton and that would not be good for those who despise Bush. Now this coulod be seen as an attempt to influence voters, by making Obama look like he cannot win because of inexperience, that would then leave Edwards as a choice and the Repubs would have an excellent change in defeating him.

So is this a plan or just coincidence? Sorry guys, I do not believe in coincidence in politics.

Clinton Gets Weird Endorsement

Are you ready for this? Pres Bush has said that Clinton will be the Dems nominee for the election. a round about endorsement?

In reality, it is a way to try and solidify the Repubs and to try and find that one Repub who would actually have a chance against her. Plus it could be an attempt to influence Dems, especially those who opponents of anything Bush does. This will try and show that he likes Clinton and that would drive voters to another candidate, especially one that a Repub could have a great show against.

Another cute marketing trick, it is called a "testimonial". It is a end run but it is still a testimonial.

Candidates And Image

If you want to be a candidate there are three words that you MUST remember. MARKETABILITY! MARKETABILITY! MARKETABILITY!

I would bet that you thought it was issues! HA! Issues are secondary to the candidate, how they are perceived by the public is everything. Look at Rudy, while speaking to the NRA he gets a call from his wife on his cel and takes it and appears to be the loving husband. Either his wife has no idea where he is at any given time or it was a staged event to improve an image that is not too good with the NRA-ers. There is one other possibility, it was a fake call, which IMO, is not above Rudy to do. This was what image makers call a "warm fuzzy" moment.

Watch whatever candidate you would like, you will see such marketing ploys as the warm fuzzy,patriotic themes, informal poses, action shots, and finally the staged event. Edwards has used the informal and action shots especially in New Orleans. They all use one or all of these techniques to sell the voter that they are just like them. THEY ARE NOT! Nothing about them is the same with the exception of gender.

The American voter is not sold the best person with the best ideas, but instead the one that has the best appearance. If you buy it you deserve the piece of crap you get.

Professor's Poll Watch

Damn! Saturday already! Time flies when you are medicated! LOL

This week the poll watch is fairly extensive. I found in Foreign Policy magazine a poll taken of the 100 top foreign policy experts, both conserv and liberal and wanted to share with my reader(s) the findings.

Is the world more dangerous or safe? 91% more dangerous, 2% safer

Is The US winning the WOT? 84% No, 6% Yes

Is surge working? 53% No, 17% Yes

Would a withdrawal of troops lead terrorist back to US? 49% Unlikely, 12% Likely, 39% Cannot say.

None of this poll and the conversations with the experts, bears out anything that the Bush and his entourage are saying.

BONUS...........Just thought I would throw in the latest results from the Zogby poll.

Congressional approval is at 11%.

Presidential approval is at 29%

But yet they are still the leaders of the country. Come on people!

Political Quote Of The Week

If have been saying this same exact thing for decades. The American want someone to do their thinking for them and it usually turns out disastrous.


Most people would sooner die than think; in fact, they do so. - Bertrand Russell


Americans need to be more in control of their lives, but as long as they let others make their decisions for them, they will always be just a tolerated nuisance.

What Is Up With MoveOn.Org?

Recently the pres was all over MoveOn.org in one of his manure spreading photo ops. he called their recent ad in the WSJ about Patraeus as "disgusting".

Thinking.....thinking......Is MoveOn.org on the Bush payroll? They are a liberal site, a "leftist" site? But for ten days the Bush Admin has gotten miles and miles of use out of the ad. The ad has given these guys an opportunity to divert attention from the inconsistency of the Iraq reports and call into their patriotism. It has worked and worked well. Seldom has the media attempted to explain the different reports and their conclusions, which by the way are no where near what the Pres and the Repubs are saying. They spin a little news then they immediately fly off into a diatribe about the MoveOn.org ad. Even the Congress has jumped on this silly bandwagon. When? They passed a thing yesterday that condemned the organization for their add. A waste of time at best.

Just looks like that MoveOn.org was the best thing that could have happened to Bush for he has something that can divert attention from the not-so-good reports that have been given to Congress. Even the lame Congress is playing this game.

Are you asking yourself why the fuss? If not then maybe your are in a coma or maybe just a moron.

What Are The Democrats Afraid Of?

It seems that the Democrats are afraid to attack the Repubs on the issues. The (Dems) just keep offering the same type of legislation and they keep losing the vote. They have been given every opportunity to use the votes as a PR ploy, but so far have refused to call the repubs to task. Why?

Well I guess there are a few reasons that I can think of right now. One is that they have a plan to keep offering measures and bills that are defeated time and time again. Then during the election they will roll out the results and use it to their advantage. If this is the case, I do not think it will be successful. They need to attack now and keep the Repubs on their heels. Just keep hammering them time and time again. So far the Dems are just accepting defeat and move on to the new bill to give themselves time to reword the Iraq bill so that they can offer it again. IMO, this is wasting time.

Second, the Dems are afraid that if they attack the Repubs they will lose any independents that may be leaning toward them. They may be fearful that they will be seen as negative. Again, this is looking toward the election, not to the benefit of the troops. The Dems do need to find ground to bring the light on the Repubs and their defeats of all proposals to end the war or at least some of the funding.

The election is in a little over a year and the Dems are not gaining that many new supporters. Why? They promised to end the war; they failed. Please do not say it is because they do to have the votes to end it . That is a cope out! They knew this when they promised! These people are just playing the game and the American people have lost the bet!
