Good-bye, Vito. Yeah, we know. You need to spend time with your families.

Headline Double-Take
When I first saw this headline, McCain addresses economy in Obama’s backyard, I actually had to read the story to assure myself that McCain didn’t hire Michelle Malkin and company and, you know, really set up shop in Obama’s actual backyard.
“B-b-b-but it’s Different When I do It!”
President Bush, yesterday: “Obama would sit down with terrorist appeasers!!”
President Bush, today: “Welcome to Saudi Arabia, good buddy!!”
Idiot.

It’s a quiet Friday. Surely there’s some stoopid goin’ on…
Excellent News From California
California’s top court has ruled that a state law banning marriage between same-sex couples is unconstitutional.
The state’s Supreme Court said the “right to form a family relationship” applied to all Californians regardless of sexuality.
The revolution is happening and, pretty soon, you will all be required to gay marry!
Update: Schwarzenegger:
“I respect the Court’s decision and as Governor, I will uphold its ruling. Also, as I have said in the past, I will not support an amendment to the constitution that would overturn this state Supreme Court ruling.”
Bad Republican! (via Sullivan)
Barack Obama: Kinda Like a Nazi Appeaser
President Bush – Asshole (redundant, I know):
“Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along,” said Bush, in what White House aides privately acknowledged was a reference to calls by Obama and other Democrats for the U.S. president to sit down for talks with leaders like Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
“We have heard this foolish delusion before,” Bush said in remarks to the Israeli Knesset. “As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American Senator declared: ‘Lord, if only I could have talked to Hitler, all of this might have been avoided.’ We have an obligation to call this what it is — the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history.”
What a fucking jerk. Nobody has ever sugested negotiating with terrorists – NOBODY. What Barack Obama has suggested, and what was made clear by the Obama campaign this morning, is that:
“Instead of tough talk and no action, we need to do what Kennedy, Nixon and Reagan did and use all elements of American power — including tough, principled, and direct diplomacy — to pressure countries like Iran and Syria. George Bush knows that I have never supported engagement with terrorists, and the President’s extraordinary politicization of foreign policy and the politics of fear do nothing to secure the American people or our stalwart ally Israel.”
We should have a January 20, 2009 countdown ticker at this blog, and I think we should have a national celebration when this criminal leaves office. I mean a truly national celebration, with fireworks, street parties, city proclamations, etc that would be televised all over the world. I want President Bush’s last day in office to be the most huniliating experience of his life – one where the American people show him how absolutely jubliant they are that he is no longer the leader of this country. We could call it “National Thank Fucking God Day” or something like that.

If This Were America…
…Republicans would be rushing to pass legislation to save the embryo!
Doctors say a 9-year-old girl who went to hospital in central Greece suffering from stomach pains was carrying her embryonic twin.
Doctors at Larissa General Hospital who examined the girl found a growth, which was surgically removed.
Murderers!
