Quote of the Day: 5/16

“This is bullshit. This is malarkey. This is outrageous.

Outrageous for the president of the United States to go to a foreign

country, sit in the Knesset…and make this kind of ridiculous

statement…He’s the guy who’s weakened us. He’s the guy that’s increased

the number of terrorists in the world. His policies have produced this

vulnerability the United States has.”

- The chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Joe Biden, D-Delaware, on President Bush’s comments

I couldn’t agree more! Biden seems like a firey dude…I like that.

Also: awesome that he used the words bullshit and malarkey!

I come across all kinds of funny stuff on the internet.

In some of my recent searches of news on Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, here are some of my favorite
findings…

I know I’m laughing…only on the outside though…

Obama Gets The Boss’ Approval

It looks like Bruce Springsteen has pledged his public support for Barack Obama. Here’s what he had to say…

“At the moment, critics have tried to diminish Senator Obama through the exaggeration of certain of his comments and relationships,” said the New Jersey native, in a statement posted on his Web site Wednesday. “While these matters are worthy of some discussion, they have been ripped out of the context and fabric of the man’s life and vision… Over here on E Street, we’re proud to support Obama for President.”

In February, Springsteen stated a few reasons to USA Today as to why he likes Obama:

“I always look at my work as trying to measure the distance between American promise and American reality,” he told the paper. “And I think (Obama’s) inspired a lot of people with that idea: How do you make that distance shorter?”

Let ‘em know Boss!

“There’s been a lot of talk of change

in this election year,” he said. “It remains

my belief that change is not made by

politicians, but by people. No matter

who is elected, we do not abdicate our

responsibility to take action, to organize,

to struggle and to push who is in office

to make change on the ground. You

can’t wait and hope your vote will turn

the system around. You need to take

action where you live and where you

work.”

-Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine

Quote of the Day - 3/27

“Not only do I not support him, but I

recommend he resign so the city can heal

and move forward.”

-Greg Mathis, a former Detroit 36th District Court judge

This statement coming from Mathis less than a day after Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick’s office confirmed they would form a legal defense fund. It had been reported that Mathis would be one of the committee’s leaders.

Way to go Mathis! Let those idiots know!

Just another lie from the Kwamster…

This, coming from a man about to release a gospel album…

Way to insult the possible first-ever African American president, you moron.

Good thing you don’t sound ignorant or anything, DMX a.k.a. Earl Simmons.

Wait, “What the fuck is a Earl Simmons?”

Go read a book.

“Kilpatrick continues to act like a kid caught with

his hand in the cookie jar who doesn’t even

bother to deny the theft. Instead, he takes it to

a whole different level and says: There are no

cookies. There is no jar.”
