A Douchebag Named Floyd Brown

Jon Henshaw — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 02:13:24 +0000

Floyd “the douchebag” Brown is a conserative asshole whose myopic world view helps contribute to a world full of unnecessary wars and oppression against those who are less fortunate (aka, not well do to do; aka, not abundantly rich). Floyd “crotch rot” Brown started a truth bending website called Expose Obama, where he and his cohorts make up lies for their own gain.

What’s great about Floyd “dick sucker” Brown is that he has a website that tries to harm you if you visit it. How do I know this, because Google and Firefox told me so. If you search for “floyd brown” on Google, his website comes up first, but there’s a warning. Google says, “This site may harm your computer.” Holy shit! Really?

If you click on the link in Google, you get another warning.

Even more, if you try to go directly to the website, Firefox says, no way!

Labeling his site as an attack site is both irony and sweet justice.

Bumper Sticker President

Jon Henshaw — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 11:00:00 +0000

A bumper sticker for a better president. Instead of a person, elect a song. This is actually a sticker for the song, “If a Song Could be President” by the band Over the Rhine — Bergquist & Detweiler being the two main band members. It’s easily one of the most clever songs I’ve ever listened to.

If a song could be president
We’d hum on Election Day
The gospel choir would start to sway
And we’d all have a part to play
The first lady would free her hips
Pull a microphone to her lips
Break our hearts with Rhythm and Blues
Steve Earle would anchor the news
We’d vote for a melody
Pass it around on an MP3
All our best foreign policy
Would be built on harmony
If a song could be president
We’d fly a jukebox to the moon
All our founding fathers’ 45’s
Lightnin’ Hopkins and Patsy Cline
If a song could be president
If a song could be president
We could all add another verse
Life would teach us to rehearse
Till we found a key change
Break out of this minor key
Half-truths and hypocrisy
We wouldn’t need an underachiever-in-chief
If a song could be president
We’d make Neil Young a Senator
Even though he came from Canada
Emmylou would be Ambassador
World leaders would listen to her
They would show us where our country went wrong
Strum their guitars on the White House lawn
John Prine would run the FBI
All the criminals would laugh and cry
If a song could be president

Fighting the Smears

Jon Henshaw — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 11:00:00 +0000

Barack Obama’s campaign team really knows how to effectively use the Internet for their bidding. Fight the Smears is an excellent example of how Obama’s campaign is controlling the message and squashing lies as soon as they occur.

Inspiration In A Sea Of Political Bullshit

Jon Henshaw — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 06:00:55 +0000

From Barack Obama’s The Blueprint for Change.

“I am in this race to tell the corporate lobbyists that their days of setting the agenda in Washington are over. I have done more than any other candidate in this race to take on lobbyists — and won. They have not funded my campaign, they will not get a job in my White House, and they will not drown out the voices of the American people when I am president.”

- Barack Obama, Speech in Des Moines, IA, November 10, 2007
