December 15, 2006 - 17:17 ET by TelemarkTumaloIt seems you have all had a good laugh at the Senator's expense. He obviously will never get the votes of most of the readers here, your typical Rush groupie or the average FOX news viewer. However, keep in mind that you could be making fun of your next President. Would you like to place your crow order now? Was your last meal on Nov. 8th to your liking?

December 15, 2006 - 17:40 ET by mastersofdeceitBorat Hussein Osama is our next president?
No he's not!
December 16, 2006 - 04:02 ET by PShannonBarack HUSSEIN Obama is an apostate Muslim. He was educated in madrassas in Hawaii and Indonesia from an early age, up until high school.
He attended Columbia University where he majored in political science then worked for Business International for a year and then was a community organizer at a Chicago housing project. It was during his time spent there that Obama joined the Trinity United Church of Christ.
That makes Obama a Muslim for over twenty years.
His natural father and namesake, was a Kenyan Muslim associated with one of the most corrupt and violent organizations in Africa, the Mau Mau of the Kenyatta regime. He divorced Barack's mother when Barack was two years old, according to Moslem law.
When his mother divorced her second Muslim husband, an Indonesion, she and Barack left Indonesia and returned to Hawaii.
In his 1995 memoir, "Dreams from My Father," Obama admits to using marijuana and cocaine. At one time he ran his credit cards up so high that the credit card company denied him access to further use of his card.
He opposes the death penalty and school vouchers, supports racial preferences, gun control, and the right to partial-birth abortions
America will never elect an uber-liberal, apostate Muslim and self-admitted drug user to the Office of the President of the United States.

You see, you don't understand. TT wants to criticize the President now. Hell, he wants a mandatory Two Hours Hate for him every single day. But if Basset Obama or Shrillary Clinton get elected, you can bet that TT will lead the charge in forging the personality cult for whatever Leftist gets elected, to the point of having a 5000 foot gold statue that faces the sun as it rises and sets of the new Leftist president in DC and having portraits of that leader in every room in every office, school and home in America. That, and TT will personally pistol whip and violently physically beat anyone who dares to speak a word opposing either.

Caption Fest: Star Trek Convention
December 15, 2006 - 16:02 ET by Guy Arthur ThomasObama recently appeared at a Star Trek convention to confront the growing internet rumor that after Leonard Nimoy, who played Spock on the original series and Tim Russ who played the black Vulcan Tuvok, on the Star Trek Voyager series, Obama is being cast as the third Vulcan for a new series entitled, Star Trek: Alien Species.
Obama said to his audience: "Look, it is more than my ears. All you all seem to be focused on are my ears as to why I would make a good Vulcan. I am an actor too. I play a Congressman from Illinois and sometimes I pose as a black man and sometimes a white man. Give me some credit. Plus I look quite non-threatening in this 60's Johnny Mathis style".
The Trekkies were a bit stunned with this unremarkable demonstration and are said to now be looking at John Kerry as a possible alternative to play the third Vulcan character.
