According to TMZ, Van Halen did NOT give McCain permission to use their song at his Dayton rally today.

“Permission was not sought or granted nor would it have been given.”

It’s amazing the stuff that flows through this “series of tubes” and right into your home.
Stuff like old campaign commercials in which federally indicted Senators endorse McCain’s new VP pick…

For crotchety oldbag whining, for telling me to get off his lawn, and for picking a former beauty queen as his #2, John McCain earns this month’s honorary HCwDB of the Month.

Um…qualified? Maybe she can get some tips from Dan Quayle:
Palin replied: “As for that VP talk all the time, I’ll tell you, I still can’t answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does every day?

Lots of commentary out there. Obviously our rightwing friends are very happy as Palin appears to be a certified wingnut: Columbuser, WMD (yikes! another horrid new design), Bizzy, Naugle is silent (but sure to be on board soon), Anonymous Wingnut Blogger Taxman (thinks she’s MORE experienced than either of the Dems - […]

I’ve been arguing for a while now that McCain had to pick a VP who was vehemently pro-life mainly because he has yet to win full support from the ultra-right, Christian wing of the Republican party.
And if that was McCain’s goal- then he did a good job picking Palin. It’s not easy […]

The latest Gallup Daily Tracking Poll has Obama 8 points over McCain again…
Obama’s significant lead over McCain almost certainly reflects the effects of the Democratic National Convention. The two presidential candidates were tied at 45% in the last Gallup Poll Daily tracking results conducted entirely before the convention began. The latest results include interviews from […]

With his VP pick of Sarah Palin, John McCain has just thrown away one of the only reasonable attacks he had against Barack Obama: lack of experience.
Not only is Sarah Palin four years younger than Barack Obama, her experience is a complete joke.
Besides her time as a beauty queen and a few years as a […]

As you probably already heard, John McCain picked former beauty queen Sarah Palin as his running mate.
And now- exclusive Plunderbund preview of the VP debate:

Anyone remember that idiot “praying” for God to send a big rain storm on top of Mile High Stadium during Obama’s speech? Well, seems God has other thoughts…see what happens when you pray for bad things to happen to other people! God, the universe, whatever you call “it” decided instead to remind us all - […]

Announcer:

John McCain returned from Vietnam a war hero.
At home he found his wife - a former model -
had been in a disfiguring car accident.
Almost immediately John McCain began
a series of adulterous relationships
with multiple women
including a rich beer heiress
who was nearly 25 years younger
than the women to […]

Don’t believe the ads. You can calculate your election year tax implications by going to a site that has take both tax plans and put them into a cool interactive tool that will tell you how it will affect you. I did mine and Obama will give me quite a big tax CUT! […]

Hey Focus Action and Stuart Shephard, Fuck off!

Rich Cordray - currently running for Ohio AG - is out in Denver at the convention this week, and Eric asked him a question about the significance of the Clintons participation in the convention. Hear Rich’s response right here on Plunderbund:

The McCain campaign just released this ridiculous video…

“Congratulations,” says Mr. McCain. “How perfect that your nomination would come on this historic day.”
By “historic day” we assume McCain is talking about the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech.
The whole thing seems forced, contrived and insincere - especially knowing that […]
