Anyone Remember that "Friends" Episode?

The one where Ross admits to having that Princess Leia fantasy? Well, as any true 46-year-old geek, gotta admit I know what he meant.

For all those who feel the same way, here ya go I give you Amira Sa'id:



And here is something for those of you might have a mother/daughter thing:




And, if you prefer some free Enterprise...how about an Orion Slave Girl instead?

Most Voters Say Encouraging Economic Growth is Key, but Big Government is Not the Solution
Tuesday, September 09, 2008
Sixty-two percent (62%) of voters say encouraging economic growth in America is more important than closing the gap between the rich and poor, and the best way to do that is for the government to move out of the way.

Holy Macaroni, Batman. I'll be a Yankee Doodle Dandy. Amazing. Just like, wow man. Anyone got a big, fat ceeegar? Thank you, America.

Confirmed: He's an Idiot

Barack Obama responded today to the reactions to the stupid comment he made yesterday in the dumbest possible way; instead of manning up, showing some class, and admitting it was a dumb remark in the context of what is going on, what did he do?

Blamed the McCain campaign. What an ultra-maroon. It is beginning to look like he actually wants to lose this thing. Actually, it shows that he is simply horrible under pressure, and incompetent when he has to rely on his own wits. He also is as arrogant as he is stupid; he could have manned up, admitted to the gross blunder -- AND blamed the campaign as well as the media for over-reacting -- but no, he has to say it's all YOU, not ME. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

I simply can not understand how people have any idea that this is a smart man. George Bush is a certifiable GENIUS by comparison.

Every time I start thinking I still might vote for Bob Barr, he comes along and makes me want to vote for the lesser of evils, just to protect my country from this knucklehead. Oy vey.

Somebody scare me with some nasty Palin rumor. Please.

One Thing About Palin Bothers Me

Well, there's more than one thing, but this is a big one. In her speech, she criticized Obama by saying,"Al-Qaeda terrorists still plot to inflict catastrophic harm on America and he's worried that someone won't read them their rights." Now, I understand the rhetorical device, but that's not very libertarian, or constitutional of her. Obama picked up on this, as recounted by the Washington Post:

But Obama, who taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago for more than a decade, said captured suspects deserve to file writs of habeus corpus.

Calling it "the foundation of Anglo-American law," he said the principle "says very simply: If the government grabs you, then you have the right to at least ask, 'Why was I grabbed?' And say, 'Maybe you've got the wrong person.'"

The safeguard is essential, Obama continued, "because we don't always have the right person."

"We don't always catch the right person," he said. "We may think it's Mohammed the terrorist, but it might be Mohammed the cab driver. You might think it's Barack the bomb-thrower, but it might be Barack the guy running for president."

I gotta give credit where credit is due, Obama was right on calling her out on this; and if Governor Palin means that people are not innocent until proven guilty, and that suspects aren't due full protection under the U.S. Constitution, then she and I have to part company. I do hope Charlie Gibson asks her about this instead of who is Trig's real father and how she feels about the Jews and Pat Buchanan.
