McDonald's Isn't Lovin' a National Holiday for Barack Obama

POSTED BY: Mary Phillips-Sandy

Meanwhile, out in Topeka, a lone patriot named Sonny Scroggins has been trying to organize a national holiday to commemorate Barack Obama's election. Sonny Scroggins is just the man for this job.

Scroggins, who is known for his sometimes quixotic crusades against social injustice, said voting results last week were among the "most profound things that have ever happened to humankind."

"I got Jesus, I got the Internet, and now I got Nov. 4, 2008," he said.

What to call this day, November 4, when Barack Obama was elected? Elected Day? Day of Electing? Changemas? Oh, I don't know.

Unfortunately for Sonny, a lot of people want to interview him about his idea, but he's having trouble finding anyone who wants to help turn the dream into reality. Even worse, the owner of his office space is all, No You Can't...

Scroggins hit another roadblock when the downtown McDonald's, long his staging ground, heard about his upcoming planning sessions.

"You absolutely do not have permission to do any kind of Obama planning," owner Karen Tyler said in a voice mail left on Scroggins' phone and played for The Capital-Journal.

Scroggins said he has held court at the fast-food joint for years with no problems and wasn't sure why he was being kicked out now.

Well, Sonny, if Barack Obama Day is thwarted, perhaps the Topeka McDonald's would be more supportive of a national God's Son and the Internet Day.

Which, if you think about it, is pretty close.

LAST COMMENT:

November 12, 2008 Dear Pearl, Thank you for you kind words. I agree with you that the reporter tried to clown me. Her and Dragon Lady Milk----- reference to me as an impractical crusader, is far off the mark. Those two don't know me like that. What is impractical is the race-baiting and division at a time when Americans need to come together to solve America's problems. Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and others like them need to stop hating, stop spreading hate and discontent and marginalizing others efforts. When these naysayers were in schools of higher learning, I was out in the field, doing the work that needed to be done for all races of people. They need to revisit CJONLINE.com or Kansas Senior Monthly, and reread my life story. On the eve of Abraham Lincoln's 200th birthday, He said, " The fact that we may not succeed in the struggle ought not deter us from a cause we believe to be a just cause." I can think of no other time in history that can compare with November 4, 2008 than February 22, 1861 when Lincoln hoisted the flag on top of a building indicating that Kansas was a free state. Thank you, SOA and all intellectuals across the world who for the last 39 years contributed to my ministry. Sonny you did a good job on MSNBC today, but she did try to clown by insinuating that you change topics of protest too often. WTF?? Hell, news organizations change their topics every few seconds. I'm proud of you and just know that together we will change the world!

Joe Biden is "Not the Guy," and Barack Obama Gets His Gals Confused

POSTED BY: Mary Phillips-Sandy


We're running out of time to spread rumors about Barack Obama's veep pick, so let's smear these latest clues across the internet as quickly as possible.

Obama's making an appearance with his running mate in Springfield, Illinois on Saturday. That much we know. So, um, Joe Biden, where are you going to be on Saturday?

Biden replied, "Here" and pointed down to his driveway [which is located in Delaware].

As he pulled out of the driveway in the driver's seat of his car he then said to the press gathered near his gate, "You guys have better things to do. I'm not the guy."

That certainly sounds like an upfront admission of Biden's non-veepiness, but a) he could be lying, or b) Obama's Springfield advance teams are a cover-up for a major event taking place in Joe Biden's driveway. Assuming c), he's telling the truth... oh my god! Is Obama going to pick Hillary after all? Or another high-ranking woman, like Gov. Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas?

No, because Barack Obama's disdain for women prevents him from keeping his New England colleges straight...

[Obama] used the word "he" to describe his choice rather than the phrase "he or she," which would appear to exclude potential female running mates such as Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York and Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius.

A senior Obama strategist, Robert Gibbs, said that reporters shouldn't "read anything into" Obama use of the masculine pronoun.

An earlier comment from Obama, though, also made it seem unlikely that he'd pick Clinton. He told a woman in the town hall audience that he gets Wellesley College, a women's college outside Boston where Clinton was the student commencement speaker in 1969, confused with co-ed Wesleyan University in Connecticut.

Good goddess! Why does Obama have such scorn for poor Hillary Clinton that he can't remember where she gave her commencement speech?

For that matter, why can't he remember the commencement speech he gave at Wesleyan three months ago?

All these hints add up to one logical answer: Evan Bayh really will be Obama's running mate.

Or, you know, not.
