Five days folks…A mere 120 hours to go before we find out which Presidential campaign will wind up moody and blue.
Will Obama blow his lead and lose, or will he turn out to be the good boy who deserved favor?
Can McCain make a comeback and win, or will we see that the days of his future have passed?
So many questions, so little time to inject more Moody Blues references into the campaign.
In between Moody Blues tunes running through my head, I had a couple of thoughts about Johnny Mac last night…
You may have heard that McCain staffers have been referring to Sarah “Lame and Tall” Palin, as a rogue, a diva, and my favorite…a whack job.
Why did they pick her then? Was it as I said the day that it was announced, that she was nothing more than a gimmick in order to get elected?
If so, was Johnny Mac really putting the country first? Or was he simply hoping to hang out with a cool chick so he could get invited to all the primo parties?
I also thought to myself…
John McCain has attacked Obama for not being as experienced in military affairs as Mac. That’s true.
Obama hasn’t experienced crashing a half dozen fighter jets into electrical wires and the such as Mac-Man, but look at it as a cost savings measure.
Mac-Man then turned his attention to trying to slam the O-Man for drawing huge crowds on his world tour, going as far as comparing him to Paris Hilton.
Johnny…dude, I slept with Paris Hilton…I contracted VD from Paris Hilton, Paris Hilton was a ho of mine. Barack Obama is no Paris Hilton.
After that escapade and the aforementioned VP pick, Johnny and his well dressed moose hunter attacked Obama for being best friends forever with Bill Ayers.
After that, the financial crisis and the Wall St. buyout set in and Johnny Mac suspended his campaign, and then he didn’t...
And then he called for the firing of the SEC Chairman. And then, Mac voted in favor of bailing out the fat cats.
And then, we were back to Bill Ayers. And then (yeah, I’m getting winded too) McCain who helped to redistribute the wealth to those Wall Streeters, called Obama, a redistributor of wealth.
And now, he calls a Obama a socialist, a Marxist, and he also goes back to where he started and again says that Obama lacks experience.
Are you as dizzy as me? I may fall down…or throw up…or fall down AND throw up.
I guess the point is, is that McCain has been the Chief Executive Officer of his campaign, and where has it gotten him?
Back to using the same, old, tired lines that he used at the beginning of it.
If he is allowed to run this country like he has run his campaign, this country will have no direction and will be rehashing and employing the same old tired Bush policies as well.
And if that happens, the old Moody Blues album title, On the Threshold of a Dream will become just that. On the threshold, and never realized.
Cheers!!

I love The Moody Blues
that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it ...
Dianne: I saw them 12-15 years ago. They had a full orchestra behind them and they were fan-damn-tastic. I loooove them too. Cheers Di!!
There has been a huge difference between the way the two have run their campaigns. Obama has been much more steady and focused on his strategy while McCain has just jumped from one stunt to another.
But of course Johnny Mac's campaign has been filled with hot air and shit. He certainly can't crow about the recent successes and virtues of his party.
As for selecting Sarah, I can only say that, based on his biography, Johnny Mac really, really likes hot, dumb babes.
Jay: That is the perfect word. Stunt. He appears like a kid trying to get attention from Mr. and Mrs. America. Cheers!!
Nick: You are correct sir. Sometimes I wonder if he is running for President or Carnival Barker-in-Chief. Cheers!!
I am praying so damn hard.
Vodka: I refuse to pray over this. The Bush administration prayed alot and look where it has gotten us. Cheers VM!!
All these billions [really trillions] of dollars getting moved around, Wall St, bankers, Fat Cats, stimulus packages. It's all pretty sickning to know that pockets are getting lined by the millions. Money doesn't disapear, it moves from one hand to the next,
well MY FRIENDS lets not forget the lawyers. Yes. I expect this election to go whack with lawsuits from one state to the next and the lawyers too, can get in on the carnival of cash.
Micky: I find it funny that McCain doesn't mention how he helped to redistribute wealth (or more accurately, more debt) when he voted for the Bailout package.
And voter fraud lawsuits are already flying from both sides, and you're right. It's not about insuring a fair election. It's all about attorneys making a big buck. Cheers Mick!!
Honestly the only Moody Blues song I've ever heard is Nights in White Satin. I don't even know what album it was on. I need to download that to my iPod. You blog is a constant reminder for me to do something ;-) Cheers, baby!
Lady Jaye: Nights in White Satin is on the Days of Future Passed album. Glad I could perk your memory. And I'm so glad you are using your pic now. Purrrrrrr. Cheers LJ!!
whats worse than John McCain- I'll tell you whats worse - its hearing some of your oldest friends spew out republican rhetoric like they got the memo or something - unbelieveable!
Doggy: Ha. I hear ya. And it's probably worse here in SW Ohio than in your area. Hey, if a person wants to vote for Johnny Mac because they think his Health Care, Foreign, and Energy policies will be better, have at it.
But don't give me this lame-o shit that Obama is a Jew Hating, Marxist, Non-Citizen, Baby Eating Anti-Christ. Oy Vay!!
Cheers!!
my dearest rabid republican friends are using the fake birth certificate born in Kenya story this week...
...at the very tippy-top of California, in a little bitty town called Doris, is an espresso stand called Moody Brews....
Snugs: I thought that was dead but my ex brought it up last week. It's unbelieveable. Cheers Snugs!!
Phfrankie: Ha. I would go and try it out but I don't feel like being a Long Distance Voyager. Cheers!!
...and I thought you were a gypsy of a strange and distant time
Travelling in panic all direction blind
Aching for the warmth of a burning sun
Freezing in the emptiness of where he'd come from...
Phfrankie: You thought that, hmmmm? Isn't Life Strange? Cheers!!
I heard from a long time friend of mine a few days ago; traditionally, he has voted conservative Republican. He told me KNOW WAY IN HELL was he voting for McCain; he can't trust Caribou Barbie Ho that close to the Oval, and he thinks J-Mac has gone flippin' round the bend.
Oh, and what does it say when in staunchly Republican Arizona, where J-Mac has been elected to the US Senate a billion times, that he is locked in a virtual tie with Obama? Yeah. There's hope, my friend, there's hope.
Songbird: Yeah, there are a couple of hard core GOP retired Marines I have come to know recently. One is staying out of the vote and the other is voting for Obama, because they both think Johnny Mac has lost it.
And yeah, I heard about Arizona...Mac-Man is being forced to spend money on Robo Calls in his home state. Not a good sign for him, but I won't count my chickens just yet. Cheers!!
There's been a huge push in recent years here in AZ to have people early vote. You know who traditionally takes advantage of early voting, right? Loony liberal left wingers, that's who!
Songbird: Obama may lose by a couple of points there, but if the Repub candidate wasn't a homeboy, AZ would very likely go with Obama this year. Cheers!!
...don't be Meloncholy, Man...look froeward to Tuesday Afternoon...It's Up To You...
Phfrankie: We shouldn't have started this because we only have 22,000 Days. But as for Tuesday Afternoon? I am going to enjoy it, because after I vote, I am going to Ride My See Saw. Cheers!!
Days of the Future Passed is timeless! The defininite concept album, no Question.
The Departure of Bush will be Visions of Paradise. Voices in the Sky will descend to form The Dream by singing Go Now and send him away on The Voyage so that we here can regain The Balance.
Ok...enough Moody Blues references...I could do that all day. Cheers, Matt-man. You're story will appear next week...sorry I got distracted this week and didn't want a crappy one.
VE: No explanations needed, and I can't wait to see The Story in Your Eyes when you do post it. And now since I am off today, I am going to throw a greatest hits CD on. Cheers VE!!
"Responsibility for our children's success doesn't start in Washington," he said. "It starts in our homes. No education policy can replace a parent who's involved in their child's education from day one, who makes sure their children are in school on time, helps them with their homework and attends those parent-teacher conferences."
-Obama
some fat for your republican readers to chew on....
Doggy: Stop It!! Stop It!! Non-Sequitar!! No Muslim, Death to Israel, Godless, Mind Washing Marxist would say such things. You must be on drugs. Cheers!!
And the new attack is about Senator Obama being a 'political ally' of Rashid Khalid...cause you know they were at a party together and Khalid hates Israel and Obama 'probably' did not say anything when Khalid and his buddies slammed Israel at this party...so Obama probably hates Israel even though 'recently he supports them'
And the LA Times is covering it up...
Sarah Palin told me so...
Oh and no matter that an organization McCain is part of hired Khalid's company to do research for them and paid the company tens of thousands of dollars...
I have proof that you Matt-Man have associations with known terrorists
You drink Bagwine and once a terrorist sympathizer worked for the company that bottles bagwine...so you must be political allies...
You disgust me with your leftwing liberal fantasies...is your real name Maksim-Boychik?????
Huh??? is it???
ANSWER THE QUESTION!
Careful Vinny, it's his day off.
Bond: Ha. Tens of thousands? The group that Mac sat upon gave his group nearly half a million.
And both Obama and Khalid have stated that while friends, have opposite views on the Israeli state. But, facts don't matter, do they?
And to be perfectly honest, I drank a case of Rose with Bin Laden one night. I said to him, "Let's get bombed."
I didn't know that in his drunken stupor, he was gonna go with that thought. Cheers!!
Micky: As evidenced by my last comment. Cheers!!
Politics schmolitics alchoholics anonymous!
Who will we put there? I do care, but I won't share, so there :)
It is Halloween in my neck of the woods TONIGHT because the Borough is just stupid.
Lu: Ha. You can share or not. Whomever you choose is your choice and knowing you somewhat, I would never make fun of your decision.
Okay, maybe I would, but not in a serious way. ; ) Cheers pal!!
Mickey: I purposely go after him on his day off cause it is so much fun...
And notice he never answered if his real name is Maksim-Boychik...
He avoided the question...
I bet if we ask what newspapers he reads his answer will be 'whatever is in front of me...all of them...'
Thanks Matt-Man, 'tis your kindness, humor, turn of phrase and the way you get me all tingly that keeps me coming back, HA!
Bond: Nice try Vinny, but my newspaper of choice is, Pravda. Cheers!!
Lu: Can you expound on the tingly thing? In the meantime, I will say a mere three words to you, "I dig ya." Cheers Lu!!
...I smoked a blunt with Bin Laden once...I said to him, "Man, I'm higher than a 747!" Never onece did I think....
Days Of Future Past was one of my earliest albums. At like age 7. With Mary Poppins and the soundtrack to Hair. Diversity rules.
The Ayers thing cracks me up. *I* have closer Weather Underground ties. Guess that shoots to shit politics for me eh?
Starr: I have an open letter to Thomas Jefferson that deals with guilt by association. I bet you are more "clean" than he was as Presidential candidate. Cheers!!
Hard to say, I'd have to see Brad's FBI file. I do know that he missed the adoption hearing because he was "laying low."
But since I have not seen the man since I was about 15 months and he's dead and all, that is something I doubt I will ever know.
I wonder if my Fibby File has my birth name or if they had to change it when the adoption records change my birth certificate?
Starr: I think you're safe...at least you or Brad didn't screw a slave. Or did you? Hmmmmm? Cheers!!
Dang I dunno. He was a Mormon albeit an excommunicated one and I do believe he was only 2nd generation in the USA. I think we missed the boffing a slave time period.
Starr: Well if you do remember that you two did, can I have video? And I agree with your Cheney comment below. He was the catalyst for all of this shit. Cheers!!
Mr. Man, don't make really funny jokes when I have a mouthful of coffee... the Paris Hilton thing caused me pain as coffee came spewing out of my nose!
Marilyn: Ha. I hope you have recovered. Paris made me spew as well, unfortunately, it wasn't from my mouth. Cheers Funny Lady!!
You know what assinine crap I heard coming from "the man who would be leader of the free world" (that's a bit of an exagerated title, but hey... why not use it)?
He snarkily commented that Obama delayed a baseball game in order to better educate the people as to what the future would hold if they voted Democrat... and that he would never do such a thing. Seriously? A baseball game is more important than the next four years? *smacks forehead in disbelief*
Move over, I'm falling down and throwing up right alongside you.
Anndi: I'll bring the paper towels and I'll clean the collective mess up for us.
Yeah the World Series, while a grand thing, I think takes a back seat to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Cheers Zombie Girl!!
Well the joke was on him as it was just three innings!
..I think that baseball EXEMPLIFIES life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness...
TB: Johnny is always coming up "short". Cheers!!
Phfrankie: Maybe so, but they steal. I hate that. Cheers!!
...they steal, because they love....
Phfarnkie: Ha. Man, you summed it up. Cheers!!
