Obama's Hillbilly Half-Brother Threatening To Derail Campaign
Cooter
Obama welcomes his brother's supporters with a jug of "white lightning"
before whipping up a steaming vat of flat-possum stew.
BOONEVILLE,
KY—Barack Obama's once-commanding lead in the polls slipped to two
points Monday, continuing a month-long slide that many credit to the
recent appearance of the Democratic candidate's heretofore unknown
half-brother, Cooter Obama.
Long kept a family secret, the overalls-clad, straw-chewing
Kentuckian first entered the public spotlight in July, when he drove
his 1982 Ford flatbed pickup through the press corps at an Obama rally
in order to inform his brother that he caught the skunk that had been
living under his front porch. According to witnesses, Cooter's skunk
proceeded to spray Washington Post political reporter Michael D. Shear in the face.

Cooter Obama attempted to pay for damages to the Capitol lawn with homemade jerky.
"Sorry 'bout that, mister! Some tomater juice'll take care of the
stank," Cooter said as his mortified younger brother led him off the
stage. "Shoot, Barack, you didn't tell me you was runnin' for
president!"
Since Cooter's emergence on the national scene, the Obama campaign
has downplayed the brothers' relationship. A statement issued last week
by Obama's top adviser, David Axelrod, claimed that the two lived
together only for a brief period in 1981, shortly before Barack left to
attend Columbia University and Cooter had to drop out of
chicken-killing school because an air conditioner fell on his head.
Nonetheless, political experts said Cooter's increased visibility in
recent weeks has hurt Obama's polling among urban, upper-middle-class,
non-straw-hat-wearing voters. The Obama camp has scrambled to control
the damage caused by Cooter's penchants for loudly practicing his banjo
during Obama's speeches, repeatedly referring to Barack by his
childhood nickname, "Ol' Jelly Legs," and chasing his troublemaking
pig, Mbogo, in the nude in the background of Obama's CNN interview on
the importance of education.
The problem came to a head last week, advisers said, when Cooter
arrived unannounced at a $100-a-plate fundraiser, slipped past
security, and proffered a jug of moonshine to the high-society donors,
claiming it would "straighten their curlies." In addition, dozens of
would-be attendees at a Cedar Rapids, IA town-hall meeting Sunday were
turned away at the door by the elder Obama, who was sitting at the
entrance in a rocking chair and brandishing a double-barreled shotgun.
"What Sen. Obama's half-brother meant to communicate was that he was
pleased that the candidate's message of change is fostering vigorous
dialogue," Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton said following the
incident. "In no way was his proposal to 'fill y'all's backsides with
rock salt' intended to be taken in any other way."
In the past two weeks, Obama has lost support from such groups as
PETA, which withdrew its endorsement when Cooter punched a swan in the
face, claiming it was "one of them mean ones"; the Clean Energy Group,
which protested Cooter's recent attempt to fry a squirrel in a flaming
20-gallon barrel of diesel fuel; and Sen. John Kerry (D-MA), whom
Cooter mistook for an outhouse Monday and urinated on for 35 seconds.
"I thought we would be able to escape controversy by leaving the
country for a week and visiting Iraq and Europe," an unnamed source in
the Obama camp told reporters. "Little did we know that Cooter would
command just as much attention back home by getting drunk with the
Russian ambassador, lighting off fireworks, and crashing Obama's
campaign limo into a creek in the Ozark Mountains."
Despite the setbacks he has caused, Cooter has secured a small but
devoted following, and has occasionally managed to reflect well on the
campaign. At a speaking engagement to which Obama arrived two hours
late, Cooter kept the crowd's spirits up by breaking out a washtub
string bass and a washboard and holding an impromptu hoedown.
Although his primary focus has been to support his brother, Cooter
Obama said he is not without political aspirations of his own.
"Shoot, I'm helpin' because I love my brother," Cooter said. "Maybe
if he gets elected he can make me Secretary of Moonshine. Course, that
don't mean I ain't votin' for the other fella. Ol' Jelly Legs wants to
take my guns away."

New 'Anti-Abortion Pill' Kills Mother, Leaves Fetus Alive
NEW
YORK—Pro-life advocates celebrated approval of the new anti-abortion
drug UR-86 by the Food and Drug Administration Tuesday, calling it a
"safe and effective method" for terminating pregnant women while
leaving their unborn children unharmed.
Enlarge Image

A doctor explains to an expectant mother how her organs will slowly dissolve with the new pill.
Pfizer, manufacturer of UR-86—dubbed the "last-morning-ever
pill"—said the drug is intended only for occasions when the mind-set or
politics of the mother threaten the life of the fetus.
"This drug is designed for extreme cases in which the mother cannot
or should not be saved, or when her health has been placed before that
of her unborn child," Pfizer spokesman Anthony Wright said.
The orally ingested drug first tests for the presence of a fetus. If
the outcome is positive, a near-lethal dose of barbiturates is
released, which induces a coma in the expectant mother until the child
is born, at which point a second, fatal dose is released.
The FDA's approval came after months of clinical trials firmly
established that the fetus would be nourished and protected in the womb
of the near-deceased UR-86 user.
Gender-equality advocates praised the introduction of the drug,
calling it an "innovative solution" to the highly polarizing national
abortion debate.
"This is a step forward for equality," men's rights activist Charles
Hackett said. "For too long, women have had an unfair advantage in the
outcome of a pregnancy. UR-86 levels the playing field for husbands and
boyfriends across America."
Pro-life advocates, many of whom had petitioned the FDA to approve
UR-86 while the drug was still in the research-and-development stage,
also reacted warmly to the FDA's decision. Randall Terry, founder of
Operation Rescue, praised the new pharmaceutical for its potential use
in cases of rape and incest, saying it could help end the shame and
humiliation of such trauma while saving the life of the fetus.
"Victims of sexual assault can feel trapped, like they've got
nowhere to turn," Terry said. "Now, they can solve their deep, internal
problems once and for all, without unfairly condemning their children."
Yet critics say UR-86's prescription-only status and the fact that
most health insurance plans do not cover the drug limit its
effectiveness, as it is not available to those who need it most.
"If people can't afford the drug or get it prescribed on short
notice, they're not going to have enough time to act, especially when
their wives want to end the pregnancy fast," men's issues commentator
Stan Dynes said. "UR-86 should be made available over the counter as
soon as possible. It's the husband's right to choose if this drug is
right for him, and neither the government nor the medical elite should
get in the way of that decision."
Pfizer trials showed that UR-86 can do nothing for the fetus if an
abortion procedure is performed. "If the mother is administered the
pill the morning after an abortion, the fetus cannot be revived because
it won't be there," Pfizer's Wright said. "It will still terminate the
mother, though."
Conversely, some lawmakers are uneasy with the concept of ready access to the anti-abortion pill.
Tuesday night, South Dakota legislators introduced a bill to impose
a five-day waiting period for teenage girls and women before they can
buy the pill, claiming its use does not adequately safeguard the
lifestyle of the father, the laundry of the father, or the favorite
meals of the father. The legislators cited Pfizer's own published list
of side effects of UR-86, which include domestic messiness,
already-born-child neglect, and inadequate stocking of the fridge.
Still, Pfizer anticipates not only that the drug will be popular
with husbands, but also that, once available over the counter, UR-86
will likely find a large consumer base in mothers-in-law, downstairs
neighbors, and extramarital lovers.

BEIJING—Several hours before the opening ceremony Thursday, ambitious
Chinese street vendors obtained bootleg copies of the complete 2008
Beijing Olympics coverage, pressed DVD copies of the footage, and sold
DVDs for five to seven dollars apiece from blankets spread out on the
sidewalk. "I was really surprised that I was able to get a hold of this
so early, especially with all the reports that the Chinese were going
to prevent the results from being leaked," said San Francisco resident
Todd Saunders. "The footage was pretty grainy and you could tell they
just shot it off of a screen with a camcorder, but for the price I
thought it was worth it." Although Saunders said he was surprised to
find himself tearing up while watching the closing ceremony, he
admitted that the performance dedicated to the athletes tragically lost
to Turkish terrorism on days three through five was quite touching.

Giuliani Spotted Sleeping On New York City Subway
July 25, 2008
NEW
YORK—According to witnesses, former New York City mayor and one-time
favorite for the Republican presidential nomination Rudolph Giuliani
was seen slumped over and asleep on the Coney Island-bound F train late
Tuesday night, as well as on the return Queens-bound F train early
Wednesday morning.
Giuliani, once a beloved New York figure who earned the nickname
"America's Mayor," was wearing a faded New York Yankees jacket and a
dirty FDNY cap pulled down over his eyes.

Giuliani does not notice onlookers.
"Everyone
was sitting on the opposite side of the train because there was a real
bad smell coming from his side," said passenger Melissa Humber, who
witnessed Giuliani lying across three seats and using a rolled-up
New York Post
as a pillow. "He seemed to jolt awake when a homeless guy started
ranting about 9/11, but then he just sighed and went back to sleep."
Giuliani was last spotted shaving in a New York Public Library
bathroom.

DETROIT—After
responding to a fire at elite nightclub Tech-Noir, all 20 members of
Ladder Company 24 were denied entrance and forced to stand behind the
velvet rope guarding the A-list inferno as it raged on well into early
Sunday morning. "There was no way I could let them in dressed like
that," said bouncer Ken Hess, who asked emergency personnel to step
aside while he allowed a group of good-looking, scantily clad women
directly into the blaze. "If they had brought some ladies with them,
then maybe. But we have to maintain some standards here." While the
firefighters were reportedly saddened by the sight of 63 people burning
to death, on the way back to the firehouse they agreed the club was
probably just full of stuck-up women anyway.

Report: Al-Qaeda Allegedly Engaging In Telemarketing
July 24, 2008
WASHINGTON,
DC—In a chilling development, the CIA announced Monday that it has
acquired a videotape showing suspected al-Qaeda operatives engaging in
what appears to be telemarketing.
Enlarge Image

Ayman
al-Zawahiri, Osama bin Laden's second-in-command, makes what appear to
be cold calls from an undisclosed location in Afghanistan.
"This
video, obtained from a credible third-party source, features grainy
footage of a group of men strongly believed to be al-Qaeda members
making phone solicitations for vacation-home rentals, long-distance
phone service, magazine subscriptions, and a vast array of other
products and services," CIA Director Michael Hayden said at a press
conference. "Many of these calls have occurred, unthinkably, during the
dinner hour."
Added Hayden: "We had known about al-Qaeda's practice of raising
money through drug trafficking and money laundering, but it seems the
full scope of their depravity had barely been imagined."
The video is not the only evidence of telemarketing activity within
al-Qaeda. According to Hayden, CIA agents tracking the terrorist
organization over the past 12 months made steady progress infiltrating
its communications network, eventually gaining access to transmissions
to and from al-Qaeda operatives. These transmissions included a number
of telemarketing "cold calls" to randomly chosen U.S. citizens.
Last December, during a sweep of caves near the Afghan-Pakistani
border, Maj. Gen. Dan K. McNeill, leader of U.S. forces in Afghanistan,
unearthed further evidence corroborating the phone-solicitation theory.
Inside one cave, McNeill and his troops found a bank of empty cubicles
with individual phone lines, a bullhorn, and 10 desktop bells, commonly
rung in the event of a "sale."
"I couldn't believe what I saw," said McNeill, who also discovered
bomb-making instructions and detailed maps of U.S. landmarks in the
cave. "On top of all the destruction these people had already
unleashed, plans were underway to harass the American people with a
merciless assault of offers for everything from discounts on home DSL
lines to pre-approved, low-interest credit cards."
For all the evidence collected by the CIA, the "smoking gun" in the
investigation may turn out to be an alleged Osama bin Laden
motivational videotape, currently in the possession of CNN. The
controversial tape, which has never aired on the cable network, is
rumored to feature bin Laden urging his followers to think positive and
believe in the quality of the product they are pitching, closing on the
grim slogan "Smile And Dial."
Among the victims of al-Qaeda's telemarketing efforts is Coral
Gables, FL, retiree Bernice Parks, who last Friday spent nearly 45
minutes trying to say no to a pushy aluminum-siding salesman who
identified himself only as "Mohammed," only to give in and order full
siding for her home. It is believed that the $3,000 charged to Parks'
credit card—an amount she thought to be "a rock-bottom value,
especially compared to what big companies like Sears charge"—was
funneled through al-Qaeda's extensive siding cartel.
Nearly all of the $3,000 became al-Qaeda profit after what Parks
described as "worn, faded siding that seemed to have been removed from
another house" was hastily installed by three Middle-Eastern-looking
men in an unmarked van.
"These evil people are preying on bored receptionists, gullible
housewives, and defenseless seniors like me," Parks said. "At home, at
work... they simply do not care."
In spite of the mounting evidence, al-Qaeda leaders detained in
Guantanamo Bay continue to deny that their group is involved in any
over-the-phone solicitation.

Hubble Kaleidoscope Finds Evidence Of Space Looking All Crazy
July 16, 2008 |
Issue 44•29
BALTIMORE—Astronomers
analyzing the first images captured by the new Hubble Space
Kaleidoscope, which went online Tuesday, announced that they've
acquired the first concrete evidence that the universe is in a constant
state of total weirdness.
"With their unprecedented resolution, the latest images from the new
kaleidoscope reveal that space, once thought to be isotropic, is
actually continuously expanding, unfolding, and rearranging in a series
of freaky patterns," said astronomer Douglas Stetler, head of the Space
Kaleidoscope Science Institute in Baltimore. "It's an exciting time for
the field of astrokaleidoscopics, or anyone interested in the vast,
wacked-out nature of space."
Enlarge Image

Hubble Kaleidoscope
At $200 billion, the HSK, as scientists designate it, is the most
expensive kaleidoscope ever built. Orbiting 300 miles above the Earth,
the high-powered, 12-ton optical device has revealed unexpected
discoveries at the farthest reaches of the universe, including a
multitude of brilliantly colored interlocking and rotating diamond
things never before observed by scientists.
HSK features three fine-guidance optical control sensors, a wide
field and planetary camera, a faint object spectrograph, and three
primary rectangular plane mirrors inside a rotating 30-meter titanium
tube. The object chamber, located on the end that gathers and focuses
incoming light from the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum as
well as the infrared and ultraviolet continua, is filled with 10,000
pounds of marbles, costume jewelry, beads, and the largest bits of
colored glass ever produced.
"This new data will forever change how we look at the cosmos," said
Stetler, who admitted he was "amazed" to learn that all galaxies rotate
in a counterclockwise direction and never look the same way twice.
"Before this, we couldn't even see the Lagoon Nebula, but now we are
capable of detecting up to 254 constantly changing fractal versions of
it at once. The further we probe the depths of space, the better we
might understand just how vastly bonkers it looks."
Construction of the Hubble Space Kaleidoscope involved incredible
technical challenges. According to NASA head engineer Nathan Howard,
assembling components for the object chamber was particularly exacting,
since it was necessary to create baubles that would still remain pretty
despite the harsh environment of space. The project also faced
controversy over fears that the device would be unable to record the
continuously changing symmetrical forms of solar masses, after early
calculations predicted that the $898 million in trinkets would not
tumble properly in a zero-gravity environment.
"Despite those setbacks, the project is an unqualified success,"
Howard said. "The completed Hubble Kaleidoscope allows researchers to
view the sharpest, most refracted displays of light, color, and shape
to date."
Looking at a kaleidoscopic image of a dwarf star, Howard added, "Oooooo!"
Unlike the Hubble Telescope, which has allowed astronomers to view
remote objects millions of light years away, the orbital kaleidoscopic
observatory has taken humankind's knowledge of the cosmos one step
further: Scientists now have access to clear images of the multicolored
polygons and sparkling glitter now believed to cover up to 99.999
percent of the known universe.
The new data have challenged nearly every assumption about astrophysical phenomena.
"When we trained the powerful kaleidoscope lens on the massive eye
of Jupiter, we expected to see a swirling behemoth of red and orange
gas," said Dr. Mae Ling-Turlington, who works at the observatory. "What
we found instead was a dazzling hexagonal array of variegated prismatic
configurations, changing our very understanding of the atmospheric
patterns there on the solar system's spikiest-looking planet."
Their findings are so startling, in fact, that kaleidoscopists are
calling for standard models of the structure of the universe to be
revamped. According to the new data, the so-called asteroid "belt" is
actually an asteroid squiggle; and Mars is only red "some of the time,"
vacillating between purplish-blue, orange, and turquoise with specks of
green as it moves along its six separate orbits around the sun.
Despite excitement over the discovery that space is all
crazy-looking, a number of legislators have threatened to cut funding
for NASA's kaleidoscopic program. An outspoken critic of the agency,
Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) said she hopes NASA scientists don't just use
the kaleidoscope a few times and then lose interest and never touch it
again, like they did with the Brookhaven Neutrino Spirograph,
Fermilab's Particle Slingshot, and the Very Large Slip 'n Slide Array
in New Mexico.

Israel, Palestine Now Fighting Over Cemetery Space
July 21, 2008 |
Issue 44•30
Israeli tanks move in to protect the country's dead settlers.
JERUSALEM—After
decades of bitter conflict and the loss of thousands of innocent lives,
Israeli and Palestinian forces clashed once again this week, with each
side laying claim to a five-mile stretch of desperately needed cemetery
space.
Fighting over the disputed territory, which is located on the
easternmost border of the Gaza Strip, has thus far resulted in more
than four dozen casualties. According to sources, the swath of cemetery
space is being called the rightful burial home of both the Israeli and
Palestinian people.
"Israel has always been the deathplace of the Jews," said Moshe
Abrahim, a religion professor at Bar-Ilan University. "My father was
killed here, and his father and mother, and both of his uncles before
him were killed here. To have this area occupied by Palestinian bodies
is an insult to our great history."
Enlarge Image

An Israeli soldier looks out over a field of disputed holes.
Added Abrahim, "I'd sooner die than give up my God-given grave."
The first episodes of violence over the narrow strip of cemetery
began early Monday morning when a Palestinian suicide bomber detonated
himself outside of a Jewish mausoleum, leaving one dead and outraging
hundreds. In response, Israel launched a series of swift air strikes,
destroying six Palestinian funeral homes and killing an estimated 15
pallbearers.
Unfazed by the counterattack, Islamic extremists vowed never to
surrender, and said they would continue to perish "for as long as it
takes."
"So many martyrs for almighty Allah and His blessed prophet Mohammed
have sacrificed their lives so that we might someday lose ours," said
Ali Akhtar, leader of the terrorist organization known as Islam's
Undertakers. "Palestine will not rest until each and every one of its
sons has a place beneath this glorious land. Our day of victory is at
hand!"
Since Monday's attack, violence has erupted across the disputed
region, with Islamic radicals throwing rocks and launching mortar fire
at approaching Jewish hearses. Fearing that the prized graveyard would
be lost to a surge of Palestinian bodies, Israel reportedly took
action, sealing 500 soldiers inside military coffins and placing them
in strategic tombs.
Israeli troops have been ordered to stand their ground and remain interred indefinitely.
In a press conference Wednesday, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said
that the state of Israel was doing everything in its power to prevent
Palestinians from being buried inside the cemetery, including setting
up security checkpoints to inspect suspicious vehicles for shovels,
tombstones, and embalming fluid.
Olmert, however, would not respond to questions about whether Israel
had overstepped its boundaries during an incident earlier this week
that saw four Palestinian octogenarians detained on suspicion of being
"on the brink of death."
As is often the case in the region, innocent civilians from both
sides have borne the brunt of the fighting. Asalaa Bahiya—a recently
dead Palestinian woman—was repeatedly fired upon by Israeli soldiers
after her body was spotted entering the disputed cemetery. In addition,
a young Israeli cadaver was captured by Islamic militants, blindfolded,
and dragged from a nearby Jerusalem morgue.
"How could God have allowed this to happen?" said Yitzchak Meltzer,
a grieving Tel Aviv resident who watched helplessly as his firstborn
son was driven from his grave by extremists. "To have to rebury your
own child—it's a parent's worst nightmare come true."
Though some hold out hope for the day when Israeli and Palestinian
citizens are buried side by side in peace and harmony, all attempts to
bring the conflict to a close have so far failed. A United
States–sponsored peace plan that proposed dividing the cemetery space
directly in half was dismissed as unjust by both sides, with each
claiming it was entitled to the entire graveyard. Likewise, a
compromise solution to cremate all deceased citizens was rejected by
Israel as "barbaric."
With bodies mounting on both sides, members of the ruling Hamas
Party released a statement Monday suggesting that the violence could
continue for years to come.
"As long as Israelis continue to age, decline in vigor and strength,
and ultimately pass away, never will their nation know the meaning of
peace," the statement read in part. "Either they stop dying at once, or
prepare to suffer the consequences."

Rielle Hunter and John Edwards: Sex Scandal and Love Child Accusations Return
By Karen Diaz
Jul 24, 2008
How difficult would it be to figure out if Rielle Hunter and John Edwards were in the
Beverly Hills
Hotel on Monday? The media that favors Edwards has largely ignored the
report and the story that was published by the National Enquirer
complete with names and times that the weekly magazine confronted the
former US Senator and two-time failed presidential candidate.

Rielle Hunter and John Edwards: Sex Scandal and Love Child Accusations Return
The
story has some humor to it as the magazine claims that Edwards
literally ran away from them as they tried to confront him in the early
morning hours as to why he was in the same hotel as Rielle Hunter.
Wouldn't there be surveillance video of all of this and how hard would
it be to acquire that video? According to an earlier report from The
Enquirer, Edwards had a fling with this woman and the magazine claims
there is a love child that has now been born.
***
Edwards
was John Kerry's vive presidential nominee in 2004 and now he says he
would again consider it for 2008. With all of that going on one would
think that some of the major media in Los Angeles might slip over to
the Beverly Hilton and try to find out exactly what went on there that
night. If it were
Britney Spears or Angelina Jolie they would have dispatched reporters immediately.
The Enquirer seems to
update
its story nearly every day and they now have the make and model of the
car that Edwards allegedly arrived in to the hotel. They also name the
driver. So where is the mainstream media and why wouldn't they look
into this? Simple, Edwards is a liberal Democrat. Will Obama tap the
two-time failed presidential candidate for his veep?

Rielle Hunter Blackout
When is a bombshell not a bombshell? When it makes a prominent Democrat look bad.
Anyone who doesn't rely on the MSM for news knows by now that John
Edwards, who made a big deal about his loyalty to his cancer-stricken
wife during his failed presidential campaign, was actually cheating on
her and presiding over an elaborate cover-up. He even has a love child
with the radiant Rielle Hunter:
There are at least 10 eyewitnesses to corroborate the story
of his getting caught with his pants down, which would have resulted in
immediate screams of "I'll sue!" from the Breck Girl if it weren't
completely true.
Yet Silky Pony has been considered a leading candidate for the hollow Obamessiah's VP, so the MSM is obediently silent. Slate reports on the lack of reporting:
—The
New York Times doesn't tell you what happened yesterday.
—The print edition of the
Washington Post doesn't tell you what happened yesterday.
—
Newsweek doesn't tell you what happened yesterday.
—
Time doesn't tell you what happened yesterday.
—Katie Couric didn't tell you what happened yesterday.
—Brian Williams didn't tell you what happened yesterday.
—Charlie Gibson didn't tell you what happened yesterday. […]
Has the gap between what the MSM lets you know and what happened — and what you can
easily find out happened — ever been greater? …
The silver lining to the absurd and potentially catastrophic Obama
campaign: when it's finally over, no one will ever take the
establishment media seriously again.
