Yahoo! CEO Jerry Yang should be drawn, quartered, tarred and feathered! He murdered millions of investors with his duplicitous pranks and obnoxious ego during his disingenuous negotiation with Microsoft. He now deserves payback!

I hope Carl Icahn destroys Yang, legally. As a Yahoo shareholder I’d vote for Porky Pig before Jerry Yang. As a matter of fact Jerry Yang is a bigger pig than Porky!

I lost my father at 58. When Tim Russert died at 58 I felt like I lost a member of my own family. So young! What a loss. But before I could gain my equilibrium George Carlin dropped dead at the age of 71. I revered George Carlin! Even had the pleasure of meeting him. A very bad week for humor, journalism, and Catholics in general! I couldn't help but juxtapose these two untimely deaths. Then I read an article by Marc Copper in The L.A. Weekly that connected all the dots.

GEORGE CARLIN TO WORLD: "BLOW ME!"

I KNEW GEORGE CARLIN. I saw him exactly one week before he checked out. And I can tell you that George Carlin was no Tim Russert. There has been no long line of dignitaries, pols, power brokers, media bigwigs and other assorted bloviating fools and hucksters lining up to eulogize him. There’s been no scrum of the high and mighty publicly blubbering about what a warm and generous soul he was. There was no hour after hour of uninterrupted “news” coverage on CNN about the death of America’s most fearless social critic.

And, frankly, if Carlin were to learn that any of these jokers indeed had the gumption to actually show up to pay him their final respects, he would most certainly awake from the dead and cut one last fart right in their faces. Or he’d simply pop right up and out of the box, stare them in the eye and let loose with a full-throated version of his favorite line: “Blow me!”

John McCain can't explain the difference between a Shiite and Sunni without Joe Lieberman standing by as his caddy. Together, the two look like escapees from the movie "Cocoon" in their matching V-neck sweaters. According to McCain our troops should rot in Iraq like we now fester in Germany, Korea, and Japan.

According to McCain when our troops come home from Iraq "is unimportant". His callousness is especially surprising in light of the fact that he was injured and interred in Vietnam. Our troops are dying in Iraq, every day, in vain! And dare I mention we’re paying trillions of dollars, not to mention bankrupting America, for this priveledge?

McCain gives me the creepy feeling he thinks it’s OK for others to suffer because he suffered. His statements and misstatements lead me to conclude John McCain is a sadist! If ever there was a war more misguided than Vietnam it’s Iraq. McCain doesn't get that. He's not an agent for change. He’s a cheerleader for war. Any old goddamn war!

McCain is to be commended for serving his country but it doesn't qualify him to be president. I believe he will sink like a rock. Or should I say Iraq? The Republicans couldn't have chosen a worse presidential candidate. I predict an overwhelming Obama landslide come November.

Hillary Clinton is not just a loser -- she's a sore loser! That's no surprise considering that the tenor of her whole campaign was bigoted and negative. More telling is the fact that she didn't have enough class to concede her loss graciously or to congratulate Obama on his victory. In Hillary's warped mind she couldn't grasp defeat so in a last gasp of "Clintonian logic" she declared victory.

This woman has more personalities than Sybil! Hillary certainly isn't the president I'd want answering the phone in the White House at 3 a.m.. By the way, do you remember that phony commercial where she answers the phone? It was Monica Lewinsky on the other end of the line asking for Bill.

Barrack Obama is a gifted politician. He exhibits more potential to think outside the box and change the game than any politicians I've seen since the Kennedy boys. Will he? That remains to be seen. He's not perfect by his own admission. Only time will tell. I'm willing to place a bet on him. He's the only candidate in this campaign who has a snowball's chance in hell to re-chart the disastrous course America has taken during the Bush years.

I'm prejudiced. I'm prone to prejudge people and I think in sterotypes. However, I'm not bigoted or racist. I don't think Barrack Obama would make any less of a president because he's black or his grandmother lives in Kenya. But a lot of my friends do! That got me thinking about why America is so immature race-wise. America harbors collective guilt over racism and Obama's candidacy brings it to the fore.

The two worst offenders in my opinion are the Clintons collectively -- Bill and Hillary -- and the "Cable News Nitwits" -- CNN and their ilk. I can forgive the "Cable News Nitwits" like Wolf Blitzer, Rick Sanchez, Tony Harris, and Dan Abrams, because I understand they're nothing more than Q-Tips with moving lips. But the Clintons are the worst kind of racists. In public they claims to love black folks while privately they plot to hold them back.

The Shah of Iran, Ferdinand Marcos, Manuel Noriega, Papa Doc and Baby Doc Duvalier, Ngo Dinh Diem, and now Nuri al-Maliki... How many failed dictators do we have to prop up and watch fall before America learns that we can’t impose our beliefs on other nations at the point of a rifle? Iraq is just another puppet government and another phony war. George W. Bush is a liar and a war criminal. He should stand trial before the War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague for all the blood he has on his hands.

Bush and Clinton, for twenty long years these two families have dominated the White House. Slick Willie was a lovable rogue with a brilliant mind who thought with his rod instead of his brain. Old man Bush was the most mediocre president in my lifetime. Not to be outdone, his son, George Jr., is the worst president in American history.

Neither the Bushes or Clintons reflect qualities America should want propagate in 2008. Which brings me to Hillary... She is a “hollow bunny”, devoid of ideas, passion, guts, and leadership. She is also a nepot -- someone who got where she is not on her own merits but on the shirt-tails of her husband.

Now Bill and Hillary are living out their “Lewinsky Deal” in public. “She stood by his side when the going got rough in return for his support of her future political endeavors.” The abomination is some Americans are stupid enough to buy this dog and pony show. Some Americans are actually stupid enough to support Hillary Clinton for president!

There is something inherently sick about a nation with a population of 295,734,134 that would entertain keeping the members of two families in the White House for four decades straight. If you want to leave democracy behind in lieu of a dynasty Americans need simply vote for Hillary Clinton.
