Iraq Repeats Insistence on Fixed Withdrawal Date

This is exactly what both countries need now and not later - a fixed timeline for the planned withdrawal of American troops from Iraq.

Steam - Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Them Goodbye

This song is dedicated to W, and don't let the door hit you in the ass George in January!  According to Maureen Dowd, the spontaneous crowd who gather before the White House Tuesday night was singing the refrain from this song.

Obama Is Elected President as Racial Barrier Falls

This is great news for democracy and especially for the promise made over 200 years ago in the Declaration of Independence: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.".

“If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer,” said Mr. Obama."

No On 8, Don't Eliminate Marriage For Anyone

I just noticed that a "yes on prop 8" site was advertising in my Google ads.  I added their site, which I won't mention, to be filtered out from IWR.  Google says it could take a couple of hours, but I want to be on the record that I am voting NO on Proposition 8 tomorrow in California.  The government should have no business in regulating what people do in their private life's as long as doesn't hurt anyone else.  If two people want to get married, I don't care if they are gay or straight, because it's really none of my business.

Plumber 9 From Outer Space

SOLARBONITE, OH (IWR Satire) - Steve Schmidt announced today that in order to help pay off John McCain's election debts the campaign staff were going to produce a remake of the 1959 sci-fi classic Plumber 9 From Outer Space.  Sarah Palin would play the role of the Vampire Girl, and Joe The Plumber would play the role of the zombie Insp. Dan Clay.  John McCain would play the erratic role of The Ruler from outer space, and Phil Gramm would play the psychic foreclosure specialist Criswell. The Plot: Phil Gramm as Criswell sets up the movie by telling the American people not to whine about the current state of the economy.  Criswell tells the audience that they should keep a stiff upper lip if they lose their job,  401K or house and accept their loses the same way they would had they just lost their life savings in Las Vegas.  John McCain as The Ruler then leads the space aliens, vampires and zombies in an attempt to brainwash the American people with dysfunctional McCarthyist smear campaign.

McCain and Palin's Crazy Indian Dancefest

This is pretty ridiculous and cheesy parody, but very funny nonetheless.  This clip was a video response to the hilarious Crazy Indian Video... Buffalaxed!, which is a sounds like English translation (not real) of a Bollywood Hindi musical number.
