RSU on Kentucky and Oregon
Th Red State Update has the low-down on the Kentucky and Oregon primaries.
Empire Strikes Barack
I’m not sure who made this clip but it is funny.
Red State Update: Funny as Usual
Red State Update hosts Dunlap and Jackie can’t live through another democratic debate. This is funny as usual. There are a few digs at George Stephanopoulos and Sean Hannity and hair mousse. Clearly worth a listen.
RSU: Obama and the Preacher
Sounds like the name of a 70’s movie– Obama and the Preacher 
Red State Update with Dunlap and Jackie discuss Barack Obama and his preacher troubles. This is really funny.
Obama, Japan
In Texas, there is a town that has just about every name that you can think of. There is a Paris, Texas. A Buffalo, Texas. There is a town called Cut-N-Shoot and another one called Nowhere. As far as I know there isn’t an Obama, Texas but there is an Obama, Japan. Now, you can’t beat that. Residents believe that they are bringing Barack Obama luck.
I wonder if there is an Errington, Japan?
Who is the best VP running mate?
There have been some GREAT entries. I appreciate all of the enthusiasm. Keep those comments coming. Deadline for entry is midnight tomorrow night.
See Update Below -
You only need to supply 2 answers to these 2 questions. There is no bridge of death. You can enter as many times as you want.
If Hillary Clinton wins the democratic nomination who would be her best running mate and why? Part 2 - If Barack Obama wins the nomination who would his best running mate and why?
Please post your thoughts in the comment section. If I pick your comment as the winner, you will receive a $100 gift certificate to Amazon.com. If I pick your comment as second place you will receive a $50 gift certificate. If you are third place, I’ll mention you in a post. What do you want, I’m shelling out of my own pocket? 
I will admit that my choice will be subjective. None of my long time (more that an hour or so) friends can enter. If you won my last contest, you will need to wait for 6 months before re-entering a Where’s the Outrage? contest. Entries will be closed on February 15, 2008 @ midnight (EST). Winners will be announced by February 18, 2008.
Update: There have been some GREAT answers to this question. There are a couple of things that I would mention. Usually, a running mate is chosen because he or she can carry a very important state. He or she balances the ticket. Keep those comments coming.
Update II: Comments are closed. I’ll announce the winners no later than Monday, February 18th. Thanks to everyone who commented. I really appreciate it. Quickly reviewing the comments, most were very thoughtful. Some were funny. Some were out in left field. No one suggested that Hillary Clinton chose David Schuster or Chris Matthews. I appreciate you holding those back. No one suggested Bill O’Reilly for Barack Obama. I look forward to announcing the winners soon.
Computer needs major surgery
Anytime that you have to spend 4 hours on the telephone with Microsoft and Dell that’s the definition of a good day. My brother who is a software genius, was playing Mr. Mom with 5 or 10 kids so he was no help. So, another 3 - 4 hours and I have an operating system up and running.
Now, can you party any better than this?
Super Bowl Ads
For the second year in a row the Super Bowl ads were lack luster. Few were bold or funny. Most were the same old stuff. Very disappointing.
The following Bud Light commercial was the funniest in my opinion. Breathing fire.
(Disclaimer - I don’t get paid by Bud or Bud Light. Wish I did. I don’t drink Bud or Bud Light. Although I know many people who do.)
RSU - Clinton lost
Red State Update is a funny political group. Well, not a group because there is 2 of them. You really can’t call them a couple because that infers a man and a woman. Hell, they are 2 dudes (Jackie and Dunlap) that crack me up. Enjoy and they celebrate Hillary Clinton’s loss. Funny. (I guess it isn’t funny if you are a Clinton fan.)
Happy New Year
I would like to wish everyone Republicans, Democrats and Independents - a very safe, prosperous and progressive New Year.
- Dumbest article that I have read this year must the one that was written by the Dallas Morning News Staff. No one would take credit for it. They named the Texan of the Year - the Illegal Immigrant. First of all, I don’t like the term illegal immigrant. Secondly, I understand their contribution to society but I also understand that haven’t changed the debate one iota. Thirdly, wouldn’t the Texan of the Year be a single person?
- The National Football League playoffs are here and I’m psyched.
- Barack Obama appear to be widening his lead in Iowa. Look out, Taylor Marsh is about to throw a fit.
- When is someone (the federal government) going to do something sensible with the primaries? With states hopscotching each other and the national parties seemingly impotent to stop it, we will soon be voting for the 2012 election right after the 2009 inauguration!
Red State Update - Christmas message
When I first started posting Red State Update they were known to only a few. Then with the You Tube debates they blew up. They are very popular now. (I wonder if they have been able to turn their popularity into cash?) Anyway, here is their Christmas video. They poke fun at the candidates making their own Christmas videos. Enjoy.
Again, I hope that everyone had a safe and Happy Christmas.
No wonder
Ever wonder why you can’t get a second date? Nope it isn’t the bad breath although Scope should help that. It is because you can’t smooch worth a darn. New study shows that bad kissers don’t get second dates. So, how do they improve????
Most Romantic Wedding First Dance
The first dance at weddings are usually terrible. There are so many details to take care of practicing for the First Dance seems to never get done. These guys have it down.
Stupidity can’t be outlawed
Did you see this video? We have all seen video of guys trying to get away from the Cops. Well, this video goes one step further. These guys are on the wrong side of a concrete divider. They lose control of the SUV and somehow they survive. God is good and these guys are stupid.
Okay, I have Halo but I don’t get it
A friend of my mine brought his son over, we sat down to play some video games. I thought that Madden would be great. We played but the 14 year old boy wasn’t all that impressed. Now, when I mentioned that I had Halo, he went crazy. He loves this game. I think that it is okay but what’s the big deal.
Well Microsoft has pulled out all of the stops for Halo 3. Advertising is everywhere. From cereal boxes to the gas pumps, it would be interesting to find out how much Microsoft spent on advertising for a game.
I’m so stupid sometimes. This is not just about games. It is about the X-box 360 console and about their X-Box Live. Its about moolah.
DJ Earworm - Mashup
I pretended to be a DJ back in college and High School. That’s when you brought a turntable and some speakers. You were golden. Then scratching started. I was out. Now, you can electronically alter a song so that the tempo and beat match perfectly to the song that you are mixing. Bingo. Some clever cross-fades and you have something completely different but yet familiar. How about you take Madonna’s Like a Virgin and Whitney Houston’s I Wanna Dance with Somebody. Finally add Cher’s Do You Believe. This is an incredible mix by DJ Earworm. (I wish I could take credit for finding it. Skippy the Kangaroo found it.)
Darth Cheney
CNN’s Jeanie Moos notes that Hilliary Clinton called Vice President Cheney Darth Vader. This is kinda funny.
What to wear on SW Airlines?
I thought about posting this story several days ago but I didn’t. This woman was asked by a Southwest Airlines host to cover herself because, I guess, she had too much showing. Now, remember that Southwest Airlines used to advertise the fact that their hostess wore hot pants (see above). They have no policy on customer clothing so how can a host tell her what she was wearing wasn’t appropriate? It would be different if the passenger didn’t just walk thru an airport. She didn’t get arrested for public indecency. So, why did Southwest make a big deal about her clothing?
More here.
Update: Another woman has come forward claiming that Southwest had a problem with her outfit also.
