Why does it matter what Peter Yarrow thinks? Well mainly because he and “Puff” Lenny Lipton were the ones who wrote the original “masterpiece” that was spoofed by Paul Shanklin. Here are the words of Peter Yarrow on the ultra liberal blog the “Huffington Post.”
The sending of a Christmas greeting by Chip Saltsman to the members of the Republican National Committee that includes a recording of the so-called parody, “Barack the Magic Negro” is not only offensive, it is shocking and saddening in the extreme. It flies in the face of America’s deeply held hope for a new era in which common ground and mutual respect characterize the exchanges between our national leaders.
I and my co-writer of “Puff,” Lenny Lipton, have been eagerly awaiting an end to the mean-spiritedness, outright disrespect and bigotry that was commonplace prior to this last presidential election. What might have been wearily accepted as “the way it was” in the campaign, is now unacceptable. Obama is not a candidate. He is the President-Elect, and this song insults the office of the Presidency, the people who voted for him, as well as those who did not — and taking a children’s song and twisting it in such vulgar, mean-spirited way, is a slur to our entire country and our common agreement to move beyond racism.
It is almost unimaginable to me that Chip Saltzman who sent the CD, would seriously be considered for the top post of the Republican National Committee. Puff, himself, if asked, would certainly agree.
Well guess what Peter? I don’t give a damn and neither does the Republican party. And out of total contempt for this mans idiotic statement I shall once again give you the video to watch.

Take offense, call me racist, frankly I don’t give a damn. This world is too up tight. Had this video been done about Condi or Powell half those who are making a fuss about it now would have kept quiet. So say what you will its useless.
BTW you can view the video below.
UPADTE: The original video was deleted by YouTube so I found another version. Song is identical but the pictures are different.

Well it looks like the candidate of change was true to his word as he uses the Microsoft Zune. I’ve always been a fan of the Zune (even before it had sex appeal) because of what it could do and not how it looked (now you see why I was rooting for McCain). Now I’m begging to wonder if I should be proud or indignified that President elect Obama shares my Zune love.
In case you have not noticed, Zune kicks iPod butt in features and thanks to my new Zune Pass I keep 10 of the songs I download every month forever (and no Microsoft does not support this blog).
Anyways if you’re wondering how the president-elect owns a Zune and he uses Mac, wake up. Obama was only using his Twitter, Myspace, Facebook and Mac thing to “get the younger vote” which didn’t really help him much. If you haven’t notcied already Washington either uses Linux (first on the list) and secondly Microsoft. There is no change when it comes to Washington tech so wake up and grab a Carona…or not.

Its not like this is new business for The Simpsons. They’ve been doing this for years. But I find this one quite funny seeing it takes aim at one of the most ridiculous notions around today: Just because you own an iPhone does not make you cool, and just because you don’t own one does not make you uncool.
The entire five minutes of Apple bashing can be found after the break.

Even Barney the first dog doesn’t like the treatment of his master President Bush by the media. In the above video you can clearly see him take out his anger on a Reuters reporter who fails to ask his permission before petting him.

I was really hoping to find some laughs in this video since I’m just trying to get my last laughs out of the election before its over in a few hours. But thanks to the dumbness and absolutely spiritually blasphemous themes I found nothing funny about it. But maybe you will so I have included the video below.
BTW the video is made by an Obama supporter, figures..

And I thought that Sarah Palin fever had died down. Turns out that when Sarah Palin made her guest appearance on SNL it was the highest ratings and viewership the show had gotten in the last 14 years. The last time the show had gotten such good ratings (10.7) was March 12, 1994 and the host was Nancy Kerrigan.
Just in case you want to see the show for yourself you can view it below. BTW Tina Fey makes a guest appearance in the show.

Am I the only one who notices that Obama lacks a good sense of humor? It was pretty obvious when he did the 10 surprising things about Obama. And while Hillary was no better she did score a few extra points. But last night was one of the clearest examples that Obama lacks a real sense of humor. McCain totally creamed him at the Alfred E. Smith dinner.
But I will let you judge for yourself. Excerpts from both candidates jokes can be seen below.

You’re probably aware that Larry Flynt was looking to pay$ 2,000-3,000 for someone to play the Republican Vice-Presidential nominee in his upcoming porn flick Nailin’ Paylin. Well he has found his girl and it happens to be Lisa Ann, a little known pornography actress.
The flick starts off with two Russians who knock on the door of Sarah Palin’s house and are later invited in. I guess I can leave the rest up to your imagination. Other celebrity look alikes appearing in the film include Hillary Clinton and Condoleezza Rice. Bill O’Reilly. Surprisingly there is no mention of a Michelle Obama or Bill Clinton.
I’d normally laugh at something like this but am I the only one who thinks that SPOD (Sarah Palin Obsessive Disorder) is going a little too far?
I battled with the thought of whether or not to actually provide images from the flick and only time will tell if my decision was right. Just in case I have hidden the gallery after the break.

I’m almost 100% sure that Bin Laden was responsible for this. But here is the positive side to these bullets, unlike the real ones that takes lives these save lives, although I am sure that some nut is going to pop one of these into his AK-47 and you know what.
