2008 vote research part 3: Trouble in Berryville
Down in Arkansas county, the the land of Berry's birth, Arelections.org shows that, in Arkansas County, Obama, the man Berry supposedly vouched for, wasn't even able to hit the 40% mark. While the county has voted for Republicans before, never has it so blatantly deaf to a Democratic Presidential Campaign.
Here's more numbers:
(in the city of Stuttgart, where he started his career as a city councilman)
Stuttgart(Ward 1)-16.8% McCain/ 80.2% Obama
Stuttgart(Ward 2)-71.2% McCain/ 26.4% Obama
Stuttgart(Ward 3)-68.8% McCain/ 29.1% Obama
By the way, Ward 1, where it was obviously an Obama landslide, is located in the central part of the city, where virtually the entire black population lives.
Gillett- 67.6% McCain/ 29.1% Obama
(Gillett is where the Congressman currently lives)
DeWitt(Ward 1)- 25.6% McCain/ 71.4 % Obama
DeWitt(Ward 2)- 63% McCain/ 31.5% Obama
DeWitt(Ward 3)- 70.1% McCain/ 20.5% Obama
(DeWitt is where a huge share of the congressman's donors come from, especially in proportion to the population)

Operation Blue Falcon: The Groves Election Night Fiasco
"Blue Falcon"-A socially acceptable reference to the acronym 'bf', also known as 'buddy fuck'; referring to an action that leads to 'fucking over' your 'buddy'. Common in military parlance. See also "bf"
"Our LT-CMD took point, led us through a mine field and almost blue falconed the entire platoon."
The geniuses in the Grove complex November 4th are just that, buddy fuckers. Sure, the election of an African-American to the presidency is a momentous occasion, but it can be assumed that he took great pains in his life not to act like the fucktards who decided to booze up, not leave the complex when the cops ordered them to leave "more than 15 times", as JPD Chief Yates said, and decided to shout obscenities at the police officers. As they were starting to arrest the more fucktarded sounding of the bunch, a couple decided to do something quite brilliant.
They approached the officers...
and acted a fool.
Oh, ya, that's a taserin'.
In this Hope-filled melee, one particularly genius man from Stuttgart decided to put his Fist of Change to a female officer's nose, breaking it.
Right after this all went down, mass emails, as well as a complaint filed with the JPD were sent all over accusing the JPD of police brutality by Brittany Jones. Now, I will say the JPD is pretty ridiculous when it comes to protocol, but they rarely give people "a date with senior nightstick" unless they earn it, and these guys earned it.
Now, several witnesses, including Jones, are trying to change their stories during taped police interviews. Brittany, apparently now knowing that filing a false statement is sort of illegal, asked if she could "scratch out" the original statement similar to the mass-email claims, and make a new statement.
It doesn't work that way, ma'am.
According to the Jonesboro Sun say that "repeated attempts to contact Brittany Jackson, Erika Guy and Chelsea Adams, who also filed complaints against officers, were unsuccessful."
One could assume they were too busy fighting for social justice to be bothered with requests with what really happened that night.

Arelection.org data continues...
Counties going Red in '08: 21
Counties going Blue in '08: 5
Local Democrats crying in their beers that they actually have to campaign for this guy again in four years in counties where local Democratic leaders and candidates were openly stating their support for McCain: priceless.
Seriously, I can't state this enough how big this is. In the entire history of the region of Eastern Arkansas, the majority of its people have never voted to have a Republican president until now. Even Greene County, the county that historically would literally vote for a Yellow Dog than a Republican had only had a single point difference between it's vote and in Baxter County's, meaning it's on track to going Red on the local level in 4 to 8 years.
It didn't hurt that the county's democratic committee refused to hold a campaign HQ in Obama's name. Hell, I don't think they even did that to Carter in '80.
Oh and one more thing. Did anyone notice that former Democratic State Chair and Jonesboro native Willett had his mayoral campaign pretty much crash and burning after spending over a 100 grand and ended of tens of thousands of that in debt after getting less than 20% of the vote. Considering that Jonesboro is the main fund raising hub for Democrats the region, we was the DPA state chair, and he's actually from Jonesboro, I believe I shall award him:

Youtube, Camera Phones, Beer, Borat, and Why Life as We Know it is Already Doomed
As we all know, this had no probability of ending well.
Looking already too drunk to even turn down a sexual favor from woman with a suspiciously large Adam's Apple, and with a little coxing from Borat, they were happy to oblige with various racist and sexist remarks that will make their next few trips to Wal-Mart more than a little awkward.
Then something came into my mind. A bad, horrible, terrible thing. What if this happened more often? What if people actually did start going around at parties with wireless cameras and microphones, trying to use lack of context, loose lips, and even the law of averages, getting caught up in the moment and completely gaffing the flying f**k away in one sentence?
Think of it this way: have you ever said at least one thing, one thing in your entire life that would be so horrible, that, if publicized could harm you socially?
And often more serious actions by collections of morons caught on tape, or at least persons under temporary morose behavior, can actually lead to large scale tomfoolery, and when tomfoolery breaks out, we're all pretty much screwed.
By the way, any old timers remember seeing footage like this from the beautiful city of LA? It's like having the COPS production crew pretty much behind the shoulder of each and every one of us, waiting for the moment to put us in Youtube infamy.
...so ya, we're pretty much screwed.
Burger Virgins... and barely legal.
Yes, this apparently is a very real (but not really serious) documentary, as Burger King actually did send people out on a wacked out version of the old Pepsi-Coke taste tests.

Best Classified Ad... ever.
(it was here, but got taken down)
Actual car ad from Craigslist:
OK, let me start off by saying this Xterra is only available for purchase by the manliest of men (or women). My friend, if it was possible for a vehicle to sprout chest hair and a five o'clock shadow, this Nissan would look like Tom Selleck. It is just that manly.
It was never intended to drive to the mall so you can pick up that adorable shirt at Abercrombie & Fitch that you had your eye on. It wasn't meant to transport you to yoga class or Linens & Things. No, that's what your Prius is for. If that's the kind of car you're looking for, then just do us all a favor and stop reading right now. I mean it. Just stop.
This car was engineered by 3rd degree ninja super-warriors in the highest mountains of Japan to serve the needs of the man that cheats death on a daily basis. They didn't even consider superfluous nancy boy amenities like navigation systems (real men don't get lost), heated leather seats (a real man doesn't let anything warm his butt), or On Star (real men don't even know what the hell On Star is).
No, this brute comes with the things us testosterone-fueled super action junkies need. It has a 265 HP engine to outrun the cops. It's got special blood/gore resistant upholstery. It even has a first-aid kit in the back. You know what the first aid kit has in it? A pint of whiskey, a stitch-your-own-wound kit and a hunk of leather to bite down on when you're operating on yourself. The Xterra also has an automatic transmission so if you're being chased by Libyan terrorists, you'll still be able to shoot your machine gun out the window and drive at the same time. It's saved my bacon more than once.
It has room for you and the four hotties you picked up on the way to the gym to blast your pecs and hammer your glutes. There's a tow hitch to pull your 50 caliber anti-Taliban, self cooling machine gun. I also just put in a new windshield to replace the one that got shot out by The Man.
My price on this bad boy is an incredibly low $12,900, but I'll entertain reasonable offers. And by reasonable, I mean don't walk up and tell me you'll give me $5,000 for it. That's liable to earn you a Burmese-roundhouse-sphincter-kick with a follow up three fingered eye-jab. Would it hurt? Hell yeah. Let's just say you won't be the prettiest guy at the Coldplay concert anymore.
There's only 69,000 miles on this four-wheeled hellcat from Planet Kickass. Trust me, it will outlive you and the offspring that will carry your name. It will live on as a monument to your machismo.
Now, go look in the mirror and tell me what you see. If it's a rugged, no holds barred, super brute he-man macho Chuck Norris stunt double, then contact me. I might be out hang-gliding or BASE jumping or just chilling with my ladies, but I'll get back to you. And when I do, we'll talk about a price over a nice glass of Schmidt while we listen to Johnny Cash.
To sweeten the deal a little, I'm throwing in this pair of MC Hammer pants for the man with rippling quads that can't fit into regular pants. Yeah, you heard me. FREE MC Hammer pants.

I attacked multiple government targets in the 1970s and all I got was this lousy t-shirt from "Earthbound"
If you didn't hear, Bill Ayers, college professor, philanthropist, and crazy man was on NPR's Fresh Air tonight. In the spirit of listening to both sides of the story, I decided to bite and actually listen to what he had to say.
Conclusion: This guy is still out of his freaking mind. Despite repeated attempts by Terry Gross to state some sort of apology for his actions. Ironically enough, Mr. Ayers states on several cases he was "radical" and "stupid", yet refuses to apologize for his actions or those of his Weather Underground colleagues.
While the relationship between him and Bill Ayers is debatable, it was still a complete lapse of judgment to even associate himself with the man during a presidential election nonetheless. After all, it’s like saying it is ok for a conservative to associate himself with Eric Rudolph if the bombs hadn’t hurt anyone.
Anyways, here’s a link to said interview here.

quick election notes
-First district's counties votes finally went red. Counties that didn't even go red in 2004 went for mccain this election.Counties that did go for Obama.
-The ban proposal on unmarried couples fostering or adopting (Proposed Initiative no. 1 passed surprisingly enough. Reaction to it had been mixed in the state Republican party toward supporting it. As far as in this area, there's no real pattern between the Delta counties and non-delta, as opposed to the Amendment 3 issue 4 years ago (and even then, that was debatable). My only guess is maybe the various county counts of while liberals, but alas, arelections.org sets out votes by issue or geography, not by number of Episcopalians.
-Obama won by more points in California than Kerry in '04, and the gay marriage ban there(Proposition 8) was supposed to be down by at least 5 points according to final polls, so how did it pass? People forgot San Fransisco and
Yes, that thought numbs the mind, but I'd like to remind my fellow non-AR friends I come from a state that elected George Wallace, William Fulbright, and Winthrop Rockefeller at the same time 40 years ago. These things are possible. These things happen.

Congressman Berry: Epic Fail
Our state's Democrats just can't seem to avoid that there darn youtube or the rest of the internets.
By the way, I was there during the surge. Sure, the supply system got jammed up initially (we got several space heaters when it was mid-July), and the time it took to get our laundry back from the wash went from 2 to 5 days turnaround (probably because of the fact that our base literally doubled in population to the size of Paragould or Cabot in just months), but I would consider it a mere complaint when faced with the other options.
If this surge did not happen, with Obama and Congressman Berry having his chance, our 39th would be running to the choppers going out of town, not of their own fear but those of a Confederacy of Cowardice. Ones not driven to being for or against this war because of their true conscience, but do so to save their own skins.
Stay classy, Congressman.

Arkansas Voting...
OK, so it's no new news that Arkansas is Democrat, and the eastern part of that at that. So how do do we exactly vote?
Pretty much like Obama bowls.
Just look at the voting patterns here on arelections.org . Now look at counties like Greene and Lawrence counties at both county and ward levels the past, particularly between 2004 amendment 3 and the election of Republican candidates.
Nope, it does not make sense.
