There was a time, decades ago, that the NAACP was a civil rights organization devoted to defending the life and liberty of Americans of color. Sadly that time has long past and the NAACP is no longer working for the Advancement of Colored People. Instead, it has become the most bigoted and hate driven organization in the DNC’s arsenal.

Case in point:
Georgianne Pitts, “working on behalf of the NAACP National Voter Fund”, has admitted to paying a drug addict to file over 100 false voter registrations. The payment? Crack cocaine.

Chad Station was arrested for filing 124 voter registrations in Toledo, Ohio, using many names, including Mary Poppins, and Janet Jackson. He told police he was filing the false voter cards in return for drugs.

When police searched Ms. Pitts residence they found more drugs and more registration forms.

How could the NAACP condone giving out drugs? Easy. Chad Pitts is white. They’s just bringin’ down da man! Das all, sho’ nuf.

We are creatures of habit after all, and it is the third week of October. Time to break out the funny pumpkin pictures. Every year, I think I’ve seen them all, but no! There’s always a new silly squash to make my Halloween bright.

Just incase you were looking for more signs that the end of the universe is just around the corner…

It’s official, Warner Brothers is slated to release a movie version of “The Dukes of Hazzard” in 2005. Yes, the show that brought us the worst cultural stereotypes in history is going to the silver screen. And it gets worse, as hard as that is to believe.

	Seann William Scott (aka Stifler from American Pie) as Bo		Johnny Knoxville (aka Jackass) as Luke		Jessica Simpson (aka the worst airhead in America) as Daisy
	Willie Nelson (aka the nastiest long haired man ever) as Uncle Jesse		Burt Reynolds (aka should have retired after Smokey and the Bandit 2) as Boss Hogg	Stifler, Jackass, Jessica “Chicken of the Sea” Simpson, Willie “Wash your hair” Nelson, and Good ol’ Burt doing Dukes of Hazzard; proof positive that there is no God in Hollywood. I can’t wait. This is going to be the most sucktacular movie of all time!

Someone please help me! I seem to have forgotten how to add.

Last week (Thur., Oct. 7) Several financial news outlets reported, and I quote, “Jobless Claims Decline Sharply.” An Associated Press article said:

The Labor Department reported Thursday that the number of new people signing up for unemployment insurance benefits dropped by a seasonally adjusted 37,000 to 335,000, the lowest level since the beginning of September. In the prior three weeks, claims had gone up.

The latest snapshot of the layoffs climate was better than economists were expecting. They were expecting claims to decline to around 355,000.

So, that’s great news! Unemployment is down. Right? Well…

This week (Thurs., Oct. 14), an AP article explicitly blamed the Bush administration for the fact that jobless claims are up this week. It states:

The Labor Department said the number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits rose by 15,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted level of 352,000…
…
[The labor market] is continuing to confound economists’ expectations.
…
The administration … argues that its policy … represents the best approach to keeping America competitive in a global economy.

However, the nation has lost 2.7 million manufacturing jobs over the past four years and some sectors vulnerable to foreign trade such as textiles have been particularly hard hit

Ooh doom and gloom. Boooo Bush! Okay. Now for my math problem:

335 + 37 = 372

So, there were about 372,000 jobless claims at the end of September, but only 335,000 the following week. And this was reported as good news. So good in fact that it was “was better than economists were expecting.” They thought it would only go down “to around 355,000.” But this week:

335 + 15 = 350

If claims went up by 15,000 this week, then there should be 350,000 jobless claims this week, but somehow 335 plus 15 is not equal to 350, it’s 352. Okay, whatever. Even if you allow for the rules of addition to be “skewed” a bit:

352 < 372 So, we are STILL better off now than we were two weeks ago. Further more: 352 < 355 Which is to say that we're better off now than even the skeptics thought we would be last week. Never the less, the AP insists that the economy is SO BAD that even economists can't understand it. Apparently, I can't understand it either. As for me and my circle of friends, just three years ago, I and most of my friends WERE unemployed and suffering badly. But somehow, magically, we all found jobs in this horrible economy. We're all employed and prospering. I just got a plump profit sharing check last week that tells me my company is doing VERY well. Hmm. Go figure.

Drudge Report today exposed an election manual distributed by the Democratic National Committee that encourages local democrats to accuse republicans of voter intimidation on election day, EVEN IF NONE EXISTS!

Here’s the complete article, and a copy of the manual.

I just wanted to remind you all of something I said a few weeks ago.

In a previous post I predicted:

In the next 30 days, major media outlets will “marvel” at John Kerry’s “resurgence” in the “polls”. They will credit his “debate skills” and the fact that he is “winning over” Americans with his “firm stand” on Iraq and the economy.

It will happen. Also, everything that appears in quotation marks above will be entirely false and misleading.

And so, here is the latest bilge… er… news.

AP:
“…a recent Time magazine poll showed he [Kerry] has an edge with voters.”
In New Jersey “…polls this week showed Kerry with a single-digit advantage, 49-46 in one survey, 49-41 in another, in the contest for the state’s 15 electoral votes.”
AP’s poll: In September, Bush led 51 to 42. In October the poll is tied 47 to 47.

ABC News:
“Kerry has gained ground among women.”
“Voters trust Kerry over Bush…”
“Independents, key swing voters, divide about evenly, 47 percent for Kerry, 46 percent for Bush.”
“Kerry’s better showing in his base fits with a shift in underlying views…” after the debates.
“Amid rising disenchantment with the war in Iraq, President Bush has lost significant ground.”
“Kerry is scoring against Bush, running ahead in trust to handle five of nine issues tested in this poll, from taxes to education to health care;”
ABC’s poll: Last week, Bush led 50 to 46. This week, the poll is tied 48 to 48.

Reuters:
“President Bush and Democratic Sen. John Kerry remain deadlocked in the White House race going into their final debate”
“Polls show Kerry leads Bush on handling the economy, jobs, health care, education and the environment.”
Reuters Poll: In September, Bush led 47 to 44. This week, the poll is tied, 45 to 45.

Well, I just wanted to remind everyone that I AM psychic, or at least I have a solid grasp on the liberal poo coodies that bring us the news every day.

Thank you berry mush.

As if apocalyptic “prophets” didn’t have enough to talk about these days, the US Food and Drug Administration today approved implantable computer chips for use on human patients.

According to the article, government workers in Mexico have been living with these chips for quite some time, using the small radio transmitters as access keys to secure government buildings. (Huh?! The Mexican government is using more advanced technology than the US government? Get out of town!)

There is a blog that I read daily, but it’s not on my list of “Daily Reads”. That is because I only read this blog to keep up on the tripe and lunatic propaganda that extreme liberal media mouths vomit onto the web.

Here is just such a pool of bile. It’s a video detailing the conspiracy of war by the aptly named “Right Wing” and the defense industry. Priceless.

Now honestly. If people are mentally malleable (a.k.a play-dough-brained) enough to believe a word of this, I’d prefer they didn’t vote. They are the manifestation of the argument AGAINST democracy that was popular in the 17th and 18th centuries (a la Thomas Hobbes).

“The most part are too busy in getting food, and the rest too negligent to understand.”

In other words, the general public is too stupid to elect it’s own government. Hmmm.

Improv Everywhere is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a long time. I love doing stuff like this and actually pulled off a few such pranks in college. But these guys are pros!

In their Celebrity Trash “conquest”, the following exchange took place between one of the members and a 10-year-old boy in Time Square:

Agent Keech: We got this doorknob out of Sara Jessica Parker’s trash just last week. Since it’s a doorknob, you know she must have touched it a million times.
10 Year Old Boy: Who?
Agent Keech: Sarah Jessica Parker.
(pause)
10 Year Old Boy: …You mean… the whore?
Agent Keech: Whoa.

Priceless.
