I spent the better half of today making calls at Obama’s new Illinois volunteer headquarters in Chicago. Lisa Madigan made the rounds seemingly 300 times. What a spark plug! Very petite, full of energy, and chatting with everyone – she’s an interesting person to sit back and watch.

Go volunteer today!  The new Illinois volunteering headquarters address is…

566 W. Lake St.
Lower Level
Chicago, IL 60661

P.S. Don’t hand your iPhone to someone that hasn’t taken a picture with one yet. Without being said, we have funny looks on our face as we both (she’s technologically hip!) were trying to explain the camera’s functionality.

P.S.S. Back to the gym – wowser! In the interim, I will blame the crap look on being hung over, standing next to someone weighing about 90 pounds soaking wet, and the upward angle of the short photographer. Ha!

Before the inception of BccList.com, I emailed the below video out to my distribution list on 3/17/08 wondering why the American MSM wasn’t covering tent cities. I had no idea such a thing – formal tent cities – existed in America during this day and age until I stumbled upon the BBC video report.

CNN finally had a report yesterday – 6 months later.

Great work, y’all.

As seen originally on BccList.com here, bristol palin’s cellphone number (thank you yahoo account hacker) is (907) 982-9061. I took it to the next level last night on the train by adding her as a contact.

Sometimes I crack myself up…

P.S. The number still goes to her voicemail! How hard is it to cancel/change a number? Answer – not that hard.

Albeit an iPhone photo, the before picture isn’t in the best lighting…

The after picture turned out alright…

Well, maybe we can play a “game” of stump the candidate during the next town hall.  Awesome.

Side note:  She talked for like a minute and I don’t think she knew what she was saying.  It’s fun watching the gop crash and burn.

As seen here, BccList.com previously offered a chance to make SOLID profits shorting crude oil futures around $125-$130 a barrel.  Oil is now trading around or below $100 a barrel.

So, by now you should be out of your $125+ a barrel short trade.  Take your profits.  But, seeing that the fed was actually doing their job earlier this week and didn’t slash interest rates, don’t miss another chance to make money.  Crude may rise slightly higher as it has over the past few days, but, this is an excellent time to short.

Target price: $80 or less a barrel.

As originally seen on BccList.com here, the below sums it up well…

Shawn, thank you.

Again, this is from last year.  It seems pretty presidential, eh?  Maybe bernanke and paulson – bush appointees – can’t read like their boss.

Seriously, what the fck is this assbag mccain talking about?  He has OFFICIALLY lost his mind.

Even though this link states there were no major spills during hurricane Ike (3 oil platforms are missing), I wonder what a minor spill is?  Or, I wonder how environmentally friendly 3 chunks of metal are on the ocean floor?

The following is an article regarding the 595 oil spills that occurred during hurricanes Katrina and Rita…

Seems pretty safe.

While I had no clue, I’m not running for president…

“During an interview in Miami earlier this week with Spanish-language station Union Radio, a reporter asked McCain whether, if elected, he would receive Zapatero in the White House. McCain answered, “Honestly, I have to analyze our relationships, situations, and priorities, but I can assure you that I will establish closer relationships with our friends, and I will stand up to those who want to harm the United States.”

Ouch. The question about Zapatero, clearly framed by the reporter as a question about Spain, came after inquiries on Venezuela, Bolivia, and Cuba. As a result, much of the Spanish press has decided that the Republican candidate, who hails himself as the experienced foreign policy choice in this election, confused Spain – a NATO member and key ally in the fight against terrorism – with one of those troublesome Latin American states. That was certainly the interviewer’s impression, for she followed up with a gentle reminder that Spain was a country in Europe.”

The jagbag of the year award goes to josh howard…

Piece of shiat.

J fcking C – possible government communications over yahoo.  palin, are you serious?

As you will notice, a majority of her contacts use yahoo mail.  Who uses yahoo email anymore?  I guess people in Alaska are stuck in the 90s.

If the link above is timed out due to traffic – as it was for me several times – a screenshot of wikileaks entry can be seen here.

I wonder what dirt they’ll eventually uncover though I assume she’s not THAT stupid, right?  October surprise anyone?

P.S.  Mom, if the image looks small after accessing the “here” link above, left click on it once.

Update: BREAKING as of 9/17 at 4:00 pm CDT – If you want to give bristol palin a call, here’s her cellphone number – (907) 982-9061.  Well, that’s her number for the time being.  Confused?  Check out the inbox for the picture message with the subject of “LOOK AT TRIG!!!!!”
