I'm A Patsy - Gotta Problem With That?

Political stuff . . . will it ever end?

I watched the Thursday night edition of news update on SNL and learned more about Joe the Plumber. I had already read that he has no plumber’s license and owes the State of Ohio back personal income taxes. The Department of Taxation filed a claim on his property in January 2007 until he pays his taxes, and the lien remains active. So on SNL last night I learned that Joe the Plumber is only about 3 inches tall and lives under John McCain’s bed with his invisible friend, Simon. So now I don’t know what to believe.

I watched on television last night as Barack Obama and John McCain spoke at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner in New York City. This is held every year in honor of Alfred E. Smith who was the first Roman Catholic presidential candidate. This foundation has raised millions of dollars for healthcare causes. The presidential candidates speak, but it is all humorous. I had no idea these two guys could be that funny! They had some pretty good writers working for them obviously. The people attending are always the cream of the crop of American politics, so it’s refreshing to watch without all the nastiness that is with us every day from politicians.

I also watched John McCain’s appearance on David Letterman last night. I’m surprised that he would ever show his face there after what he did. But he admitted he had screwed up and then went on to talk the way he always does which gets pretty boring. He praised Sarah Palin up one side and down the other. That has gotten very boring too.

But on the bright side, I found a new video on YouTube that is really great. It’s “Boybama – Battleground for your Heart” and starts with the following written text:

“When we saw Sarah Palin desperately trying to win over our hockey moms and Joanna Sixpacks, we knew that we couldn’t just stand idly by. So we decided to make this parody music video in support of the Obama campaign and to show women everywhere that we can shamelessly pander with the best of them.”

This video and the boy band are really funny! Here is the link: www.portal-a.com. I think everyone will get a kick out of it.
