GUN VIOLENCE IN AMERICA: FOR WHO THE BELL TOLLS NEXT.

Just five people shy of Sandy Hook elementary school mass shooting incident that claimed 26 lives, the Uvalde Texas Robb elementary school mass shooting at 21 victims, now ranks among the highest grossing gun carnage in America. It is sad that such frequent blood spilling has tragically become part of our culture as a society. May the souls of the killed now rest.

25th AMENDMENT: ITS NOW ALL CRICKET.

Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi once questioned former President Donald John Trump's fitness to remain in office due to what she claimed was his declining mental capacity. Does anyone know what Madam Speaker presently thinks about the incontrovertible case which America is now saddled with? Just curious!

WHO WILL REBUILD UKRAINE?

The West should convert frozen Russian assets, both state's and oligarchs' owned, into a full seizure and set them aside for the future rebuilding of Ukraine. Like the Marshal Plan, call it the Putin Plan.

A HERO IS BORN.

I am staying put. I will not run away and abandon my people. The fight is here in Ukraine. What I need are weapons and ammunitions, not a ride out of town like former Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani - President Volodymyr Zelensky.

"If it’s radical to oppose the insanity and cruelty of the Vietnam War, if it’s radical to oppose racism and sexism and all other forms of oppression, if it’s radical to want to alleviate poverty, hunger, disease, homelessness, and other forms of human misery, then I’m proud to be called a radical.” - Ron Vernie Dellums.


WHAT REALLY MATTERS IN LIFE - STEVE JOBS

“I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world. In others’ eyes, my life is an epitome of success. However, aside from work, I have little joy. Non-stop pursuing of wealth will only turn a person into a twisted being, just like me. God gave us the senses to let us feel the love in everyone’s heart, not the illusions brought about by wealth. Memories precipitated by love is the only true riches which will follow you, accompany you, giving you strength and light to go on. The most expensive bed in the world is the sick bed. You can employ someone to drive the car for you, make money for you but you cannot have someone to bear sickness for you. Material things lost can be found. But there is one thing that can never be found when it is lost – Life. Treasure Love for your family, love for your spouse, love for your friends. Treat yourself well. Cherish others.” - SJ

IT IS OFFICIAL, JOHN McCAIN IS NOT CAPABLE!

WARNING: - Senator John McCain does not have what it takes to run America, so says his economic adviser! The Economic adviser of the Senator John McCain campaign, Carly Fiorina (former CEO of Hewlett Packard) has emphatically stated that Senator John McCain cannot even run a corporation like Hewlett Packard; talk-less of the behemoth American economy. If John McCain's top economic adviser could affirm that Senator John McCain cannot run a corporation, how on earth can he then run the largest (corporation ) economy in the world - AMERICA?
What the world has since suspected, an insider of the campaign with a possible insider's privileged information has finally just confirmed. What should Senator John McCain now do? Were he an honorable man, he should simply throw in the towel - he can always plead old age, after-all he is as old as Methuselah! It is now left for the American voters to heed this advise by no other than a person who should know, herself an economic guru and one time CEO of Hewlett Packard and currently economic adviser to the Senator McCain's campaign. If Carly Fiorina could bravely disclose this formerly tightly-guarded, though non-sequitur, information about Senator John McCain's "economic disability and handicap", why then should the American people play possum and sheepishly follow Senator John McCain to their economic doldrums? The present cliff-hanger put in place by George W. Bush fallacious economic policies has seen so many people in despondency already! Enough of this zombie-like following of Senator John McCain; our future does not lie with this sick old man!

The thought of a Senator John McCain's presidency alone is nightmarish and unfathomable; and we shall have ourselves to forever blame in that event. We have been put on notice, the time is now that the final reason to reject Senator John McCain has been provided by the one and only Carly Fiorina, to shove him over the cliff! There is nothing more to add, Senator John McCain cannot even run a corporation like Hewlett Packard yet he is pretending to have the answers to American "corporation" with over five hundred of such "HP's" lumped in one. If Senator John McCain cannot manage one (1) corporation, the odds of his managing five hundred (500) corporations is non existent! America, please wake up and smell the coffee Carly Fiorina has just brewed - Senator John McCain is not capable! With your vote, simply say No Way! No How! No McCain! No Palin!

AWESOME & LUSCIOUS BRIDE!

Wedding is always a time to flash and be happy for all the endowments whether natural or silicon; this bride has proved with her dress that getting her man was a breeze. But sure, she does look good and very inviting indeed! A happy wedding and marital bliss is all that Icheoku wishes this very confident couple! Ciao!

SENATOR JOHN McCAIN IS KARL ROVE


The case of hand of Esau and voice of Jacob? Which one is Senator "Double-speak Express"? These days it is very hard to distinguish since both men have morphed into one ugly political monstrosity! Whenever Senator John McCain is reading all those prepared political talking points/notes, any salient observer will notice the hardship he encounters as he struggles to stammer out what is written down. On further listen, you will notice that it is Karl Rove who is really speaking with the face of Senator John McCain. It is a great political science fiction turned reality. Anyone who have watched the "History" music video of Michael Jackson will understand what Icheoku meant by morphing of Senator John McCain and Karl Rove into the same political creature of deceit, fear and war mongering! Shameless duo! Political hacks!
Senator John McCain Straight Talk Express lost its wheels when it allowed Karl Rove to come on-board and started influencing talking-points and policy positions. Any astute observer will agree with Icheoku that the Senator John McCain we all use to know is no more; in his place is replaced a caricature of the old darling of Americans who then called it as he saw fit. Senator John McCain must reinvent himself and in any other event, give Karl Rove the pink slip! Anyone questioning whether Senator John McCain and George Walker Bush are the same clone should simply take a look at the man behind the mask of both campaigns - his name rings bell, KARL ROVE, the architect! If you fared very well under these past eight years of ineptitude, then take Senator John McCain to dinner otherwise be smart, wise up and vote for a change we can believe in.
Senator Barack Obama is the answer to the question, how do we move forward as Americans from the hell-hole, GW's administration drove us into! Please join the Senator from New York Hillary Clinton and millions other Americans in saying a resounding NO WAY! NO HOW! NO McCAIN! NO PALIN!

SENATOR BARACK OBAMA IS THE MEANINGFUL WAY!


Be not afraid, what shall be, shall be! Icheoku says, no shaking! All the discredited antics of the Senator John McCain campaign shall come to naught because he is an old dog and you cannot teach an old dog new tricks. Senator Hillary Clinton tried the brick, kitchen-sink attack strategy during the primaries and today she is not the Democratic Party's Presidential nominee. Senator John Sidney McCain is again engaging in the same old way that leads to political annihilation and presently suffering from "political-sewer syndrome" and surely he will get the bargained!
The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ in Luke 5:36 is highly instructive that Senator John McCain is an old wrinkly skin who must be stopped from stepping into the White-house! Just do right by your vote, vote reasonably! Vote with your head and not your heart, vote for the other guy, the right guy! His name, Senator Barack Obama!
Visit www.barackobama.com to see why Barack Obama is the way, the only way that makes sense! Barack Obama's presidency is what the doctor ordered and the only meaningful security for our children's future! The world is aching and Barack Obama is the soothing balm, needed to heal the world of its hurt at the present time!
Are you ready to stand up and be counted! Now is the time to tell George Bush, ENOUGH! Senator John McCain is George Bush's surrogate so we must reject them both as they are both two evil twins! Whatever you do, do not trade a six for a half dozen - it is just the same, the two faced Janus! Whether it is McBush, McSame, McPalin or McCain they all are the same thing - a continuation of the failed policies of the Republican Party during the last eight years in the White-house. Icheoku is suffering from George Bush fatigue syndrome; how about you?
REJECT SENATOR JOHN McCAIN! VOTE FOR SENATOR BARACK OBAMA!
NO WAY! NO HOW! NO McCAIN! NO
PALIN!

THE BOYS ARE BACK - KARL ROVE & CREW!

Any astute political observer watching
the trajectory of the political campaign of Senator John McCain will only come to one conclusion, that campaign has hired the devil himself - all the Karl Roves of this country are back in business advising Senator John McCain's campaign!
Look at the pettiness their campaign has become - just crass crawling. Low road campaign indeed! What happened to all the issues which the inept George Bush's eight years of governance have foist on Americans? What happened to all the foreclosed mortgages? the failing dollar? the low rating and standing America presently commands in the world? an economy which this year alone has shed over 600,000 jobs? jobs which are being shipped overseas daily? health insurance no one can seem to be able to afford? children's failing schools? two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? the restive Pakistan Wazaristan region? the debacle of Georgia Republic and Russia blooming military adventurism? the infestation of gangsterism and accompanying deaths by guns in our streets? We have a myriad of problems needing urgent solution but the septuagenarian has turned his campaign into a low rating race and gender baiting mockery through the "mastery" of Karl Rove and crew!
But what is the difference between a pit-bull and a pig? Nothing really, since both of them are animals! So whether the lipstick is on a pit-bull or on a pig should be irrelevant assuming Sarah Palin was the subject of the referenced comment. But Icheoku says she was not as such is a common-use phraseology in American political speak, having been used in the past by the same Senator John McCain, Lynn Cheney (wife of vice president Dick Cheney) and some other Republican Party's stalwart. What changed this time is that Senator Barack Obama used it - a case of some animals are more equal than the others? If this is not another clear manifestation of double standards in American politics; fueled by rabid bigotry of the highest order then nothing else so qualifies!
The campaign of Senator John McCain has been hijacked by the American Talibans (fundamentalist evangelicals) who have imposed a fanatic primitive Alaskan beauty queen wanna-be on Senator John McCain as his vice presidential candidate. Today they have disagreed more than they have agreed on issues that Icheoku asks, how can these two polar opposites govern, should America have the singular dishonor of electing them? Please America don't do that! Reject John McCain! Reject the past!
Further Senator John McCain has let the Bush bad-boys inside his camp and all decency has been let loose - all just for an office? Does it mean going to dine with the devil if that will secure you an office? Does winning no longer have a prize? Is it a matter of just win the office? is it a matter of the end justifies the means? According to the mantra of the architect of George Bush double-trouble for the American people during these past eight years, all is fair that wins an election! Senator John McCain has bought into this philosophy and we are daily seeing what damage it can cause the American people. The American people, like a dog, has been thrown a bone (Sarah Palin) for distraction and woe betide them if Senator John McCain wins in November. Like Rehobam, if George Walker Bush chastised them with whips, scorpion will be Senator John McCain's choice instrument of chastising.
Karl Rove
leaving George Walker Bush's brain enroute to Senator John McCain's!
Since Karl Rove took up his new residence in Senator John McCain's brain, the political speak of Senator John McCain has gone south - straight into the sewer! It has been one low blow after another. Down and Dirty, Karl Rove style! But you know exactly how GW's brain functioned while Karl Rove was a resident therein so if you want the same result, go ahead and vote for Senator John McCain; but if you are smart enough to be among other millions of Americans who know better, then do the right thing and vote reasonably using your head!
It is not too late yet and a reasonable vote is all that it will take to starve off this impending "doom" which Senator John McCain's governance portends! So say with one assertive echoing voice, No Way! No How! No McCain! No Palin!

AMERICA'S VLADMIR PUTIN, SENATOR JOHN McCAIN!


Many people the world over are very apprehensive since the advent of Comrade Vladimir Putin on the Russia political terrain some nine years ago. Vladimir Putin is petite, testy, feisty, complexed, somewhat unhappy, reactive, mad at something, cunning and above all unpredictable! Coincidentally Icheoku finds all these characteristics in Senator John Sidney McCain, hence we have tritely dubbed him America's Vladimir Putin!

Both men were fiercely "patriotic" and love their country a lot. While one was a spy chief of the then KGB, the other was a navy pilot in then United States Navy. Both men fought and defended their countries respectively in various capacities, with the last sinew in their body; however both are still smacking for a show down for reasons not particularly known to this blogger. The fear is that whatever these two men are suffering internally from, may come to a hilt should Senator John McCain win this November's election. Who will suffer, the world at large and specifically the American people who will be called upon for additional and continuous sacrifices. Can you live with the knowledge that you facilitated the final melt-down of civilizations by electing Senator John McCain this November? Why let the two worlds collide by voting for the wrong candidate, Senator John McCain? It does not portend good - it is simply omnious and we all will partake of the sour supper should the unexpected happen and Senator John McCain is elected president of the United States of America this November. PLEASE DON'T DO IT! DON'T ELECT SENATOR JOHN McCAIN! IT IS SUICIDAL!

Russia's Vladimir Putin is smallish and so is Senator John McCain! Russia's Vladimir Putin is a womaniser who dumped his wife for a younger fashion-model so did Senator John McCain dump Carol McCain for a then flashy Cindy Hensley now McCain! Russia's Vladimir Putin suffers from small man syndrome and so is Senator John McCain! What happens when small men are giving some fierce awesome power? Ask 'Austin Power' (remember mini-me) - they will surely use it to maximize their miniaturized size. They will certainly test it for efficacy and to prove that they are able and capable; what they lack in natural endowment, they will make up with newly found awesome power.

If you think you have seen it all with the lacklustre George Bush government, wait until the accident -waiting to happen, happens and Senator John McCain and the "whore" of Alaska is elected in November. Sarah Palin is George Bush in a dress. A woman so empty and forlorn that she dared to say that because you can see Russia from Alaska, that makes you eminently qualified as an expert in foreign policy. And unknown to this beauty queen wanna be, Alaska was formerly a USSR territory - may be that would make Sarah Palin a Russian resident hence a foreign policy wonk?

Every American should be ashamed at the emptiness of this pretty faced "stripper" and the whole world is watching and laughing at our unabashed unintelligence. This Sarah Palin is a woman once described as Dan Quayle with indoor plumbing; forcing one commentator to pose a question whether it is just genitalia that the supposed Hillary Clinton's supporters were voting for when sex organ alone will not help them put food on the table or ensure their children's tuition fees. The Senator John McCain's camp is shameless and staffers therein do not even know that they do not know anything - that they are dumb and dumber. How dare these pimps perpetuate lies on the American people thinking that they, the American people, are too dumb to understand what is truth or lies? It is possible that they do not have brains otherwise why is it so difficult for them to distinguish between truths and lies. May be it is a case of No Brain, No Shame (NBNS) syndrome? This is a woman who is today governor of a very tiny state of Alaska with about only 680,000 people out of which only 144,000 voted for her election. A state with a population less than most American cities and sometimes less than a city block. American women, you must say to Senator John McCain, thanks but no thanks for throwing you a bone with Sarah Palin selection! Tell Senator John McCain, please not this type of woman! You need a woman advocate who will not roll back your hard won rights including that which appertains to your physical body.

America, what is your fascination with this Miss pretty face? Have you forgotten that she is a republican or are you not yet Bush-fatigued all these eight years of misery? You better wake up from your stupor before it is too late. Should Senator John McCain win, he is going to start so many wars thinking that we are all war mongers otherwise why did we vote for a war-monger like him? Please America vote your head and not your heart because while the former is reasonable the later is merely sentimental. If you have ever been in love, you will know what it is to be unreasonable, sentimental and emotional. A pretty face is not just enough to tackle a strange world as GW has bequeathed on whoever succeeds him. A beauty queen wanna-be from remote Alaskan wilderness is not what the doctor ordered!

Please do not heed the Senator John McCain's spokesman's call that this election should be about personalities and not issues? What a crass opinion - maybe they know that they cannot win a fair and balanced issue-based campaign hence all the curve-balls being thrown out there. America, tell this inept, old-ideas tinged campaign of Senator John McCain, that you are not as dumb as they think. Among the myriad of problems bedevilling Americans they do not have anything to tell Americans regarding the palliative measures they will put in place, instead they are comparing people to some celebrities. Are you kidding me?

Look at Senator John McCain and the anti-abortion fundamentalist he picked for his vice presidential slot. This is John McCain who did not consider it abominable to drop cluster bombs on innocent children already here on earth but considers it heretical to terminate an un-viable fetus. Yet Senator John McCain is honorable? Where lies his honor when he acknowledged that Hillary Clinton is a bitch during one of his campaign stops earlier in the year? Where is this septuagenarian's honor when he crudely referred to his wife Cindy as a cunt? Where is his honor when he said that Chelsea Clinton is so ugly it appeared she was fathered by Janet Leno. Serving in the military should not be the ONLY requisite to being a good president. It is too restrictive!

Senator John McCain is America's Vladimir Putin - both men have a military mindset - always calculating to outmaneuver and out fox the opponent. They see every situation in the prism of warfare and this makes for difficult diplomacy. AMERICA SHOULD BE VERY WARY OF ANY ONE-WAY MINDED LEADER. George Walker Bush is a test case! America how did you fair under his presidency?

Concluding, if you like the uncertainty of Georgia Republic, Ukraine, energy as a tool of diplomacy and all these meddlesome interloping Vladimir Putin and the uneasiness it is causing the world over, then Senator John McCain is your candidate; but should you want a new direction and manner of doing things then vote with your head and not your heart. There is so much restiveness in the world today and we do not need to add any further accelerant to the inferno with a Senator John McCain's presidency. The world will think that we are still smarting for more wars should we elect Senator John McCain this November. Senator John McCain is irascible, rash, quick to speak, short-fused and may order a mission that will lead to the end of the world as we know it. Who wants to live this nightmare of uncertainties? Definitely not this blogger! Therefore, No Way! No How! No McCain! No Palin!

THE HIT LIST - our incredible but true story series: Serie 9!

1. Even Virginity has a price!

Only in America the land of every imaginable! A 22-year-old female student (pictured here right) is publicly auctioning her virginity to pay for her college education. It is all about sex and morality. The student from San Diego, California, who is using the pseudonym Natalie Dylan for "safety reasons," said she had no moral dilemma with her decision and found it "empowering." According to this celebutante, "I don't think auctioning my virginity will solve all my problems, but it will create some financial stability. I'm ready for the controversy, I know it will come along. I'm ready to do this. We live in a capitalist society. Why shouldn't I be allowed to capitalize on my virginity?" The woman, who has earned a bachelor degree in women's studies and now wants to start a master's degree in marriage and family therapy, is hoping the bidding will hit $1 million. The online auction site eBay turned her down so the auction will take place at a Nevada brothel, the Moonlite Bunny Ranch, where her sister is working to pay off her college debts. The date for the auction was not immediately available.

2. Case of the $5K designer umbrella ruled frivolity


It's a rainy day for the Manhattan restaurateur who sued a supermodel claiming she intentionally damaged his designer umbrella, said to be worth $5,000. State Supreme Court Justice Joan A. Madden threw out Nello Balan's lawsuit Friday. She also fined Balan's attorney $500 for filing a frivolous claim and said motions the attorney filed were a "waste of judicial resources."
Balan claimed he lent supermodel Le Call his limited-edition leather umbrella designed by Jean-Paul (ZHON'-Pawl) Gaultier (GOL'-tee-yay) and she belatedly returned it to him in two pieces.
Balan, owner of the celeb magnet Nello's, sought $1 million in the lawsuit and claimed emotional distress over the damaged umbrella.
Attorneys for both sides have declined to comment.

3. What a glutton!

A 54-year-old man Don Gorske says his obsessive-compulsive disorder drove him to eat 23,000 Big Macs in 36 years. Don Gorske says he hit the milestone last month, continuing a pleasurable obsession that began May 17, 1972 when he got his first car. 'Pleasurable Obsession' This is ridiculous! Gorske has kept every burger receipt in a box. He says he was always fascinated with numbers, and watching McDonald's track its number of customers motivated him to track his own consumption. He's only skipped eight days since his Big Mac attack began -- including the day his mother died, to honor her request. The correctional-institution employee says he doesn't care when people call his Big Mac obsession crazy. He says he's in love with the burgers, which are the highlights of his days.
4.
Demand for Rat Meat Rising in Cambodia


The price of rat meat has quadrupled in Cambodia this year as inflation has put other meat beyond the reach of poor people, officials said on Wednesday.
With consumer price inflation at 37 percent according to the latest central bank estimate, demand has pushed a kilogram of rat meat up to around 5,000 riel ($1.28) from 1,200 riel last year. A rat butcher in Cambodia Spicy field rat dishes with garlic thrown in have become particularly popular at a time when beef costs 20,000 riel a kg.
Officials said rats were fleeing to higher ground from flooded areas of the lower Mekong Delta, making it easier for villagers to catch them.
"Many children are happy making some money from selling the animals to the markets, but they keep some for their family," Ly Marong, an agriculture official, said by telephone from the Koh Thom district on the border with Vietnam.
"Not only are our poor eating it, but there is also demand from Vietnamese living on the border with us."
He estimated that Cambodia supplied more than a ton of live rats a day to Vietnam.
Rats are also eaten widely in Thailand, while a state government in eastern India this month encouraged its people to eat rats in an effort to battle soaring food prices and save grain stocks.
5. Dead-man standing!
A Puerto Rican man has been granted his last wish to remain standing — even in death! A funeral home used a special embalming treatment to keep the corpse of 24-year-old Angel Pantoja Medina (pictured here right in glasses) remained standing upright in a corner at his mother's home in San Juan, Puerto Rico, for his three-day wake.
Dressed in a Yankees baseball cap and sunglasses, Pantoja was mourned by relatives while propped upright in his mother's living room.
His brother Carlos told the El Nuevo Dia newspaper the victim had long said he wanted to be upright for his own wake: "He wanted to be happy, standing."
Medina was found dead Friday underneath a bridge in San Juan and buried Monday. Police are investigating.

ANOTHER NIGERIAN MAN KILLS HIS WIFE!

It has happened again! Another Nigerian lunatic kills his wife. Mr LeKan Fawmi, pictured here (center) in glasses, talking with his defense lawyer Kirk Truslow, left, before being led off to serve a 20 year sentence for killing his wife Ebony. The couple lived at Burcale Road, Conway, Horry County, South Carolina.
Judge Edward Cottingham handed down the sentence during a plea bargain hearing at the Horry County Courthouse. Before he was sentenced to 20 years in prison Wednesday for stabbing his wife to death, LeKan "Tommy" Fawmi fought back tears and apologized to her family. "I'm really sorry for what happen. She was the love of my life and since she died I don't have a life," the 45-year-old Nigerian said. Circuit Court Judge Edward Cottingham scolded Fawmi for losing his temper and killing his wife, 20-year-old Ebonetess "Ebony" Fawmi; but said he did not give him the maximum 30-year sentence because Fawmi admitted his guilt. The judge also said he didn't want to force the victim's family to relive the death through a trial. Fawmi pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter, a reduced charge from murder, as part of a plea agreement.
Ebony died from about 15 stab wounds to the front and back of her neck on Feb. 15, in an apartment the couple shared on Burcale Road. The couple had argued from about 2:30 to 7:30 a.m. that day, according to Ebony's then 14-year-old sister, who was living with the couple along with their 1-year-old son. The sister and boy witnessed the killing. Fawmi had threatened Davis with a knife during the argument before he grabbed her from behind at about 7:30 a.m. and stabbed her seven times in the front of her neck and once Davis' body went limp, Fawmi held her by her hair and stabbed her eight times in the back of her neck before he allowed her to fall to the floor. Ebony also sustained defensive wounds on her hands.
After he stabbed Ebony, Fawmi went upstairs, changed his shirt and then threatened Ebony's sister to not tell anyone or he would kill her, too. However the sister ran to a neighbor's house later after Fawmi ran from the apartment to call 911. Officers later found Fawmi hiding in bushes about 45 minutes later and he confessed to the slaying. According to Fawmi's attorney, Kirk Truslow, the case lingered in the system because initially Fawmi was found mentally incompetent for trial. After treatment he was found competent by a state evaluator and a private independent evaluation, Truslow said.
FYI: Icheoku is yet to confirm whether Ebonetess was an RN!

THE MAN, SENATOR JOHN McCAIN!


WARNING: - Before you cast that ballot for a president this November 4th, 2008, Icheoku will like you to stop and ask yourself, which of these two men will best protect and serve this nation of ours? In areas of economic, political, social, international, the polity and of course military protection and service of the fatherland!
Whereas Senator John McCain has a military background, Icheoku says in every other area, he, Senator John McCain is wanting and undeserving of that your coveted ballot. Do you really know this man John McCain? Now you will be able to find out what very close people to him thinks about this self-acclaimed 'maverick'. Icheoku believes that it will help you avoid the fate of many whom John McCain had hoodwinked in the past. In other words, before you cast that vote, remember the buyer's remorse of caveat emptor!
Who therefore is Senator John Sidney McCain? According to his abandoned first wife Carol, Senator John McCain then did not want to be 40, he wanted to remain 25!

Some of McCain’s personal friends portray Senator John McCain as a self-centred womaniser who effectively abandoned his crippled wife to ‘play the field’. Accusing him also of finally settling on Cindy, a former rodeo beauty queen, for financial reasons.

Senator John McCain was a privileged, but rebellious scion of one of America’s most distinguished military dynasties – his father and grandfather were both admirals.

But setting out to have a good time, the young McCain hung out with a group of young officers who called themselves the ‘Bad Bunch’. Senator John McCain then primary interest was women. Senator John McCain was ‘appalled’ by the change in his first wife's appearance following an auto accident.

Senator John McCain was also fiercely ambitious, but it was clear he would never become an admiral like his illustrious father and grandfather and his thoughts turned to politics.

In 1979 Senator John McCain while still married to Carol – he met Cindy at a cocktail party in Hawaii. Over the next six months he pursued her, flying around the country to see her.

Ted Sampley, a US Special Forces member of Vietnam fame, said of Senator John McCain: - "I have been following John McCain’s career for nearly 20 years. I know him personally. There is something wrong with this guy and let me tell you what it is – deceit.‘ When Senator John McCain came home and saw that Carol was not the beauty he left behind, he started running around on her almost right away. Eventually he met Cindy and she was young and beautiful and very wealthy. At that point McCain just dumped Carol for something he thought was better. ‘Senator John McCain is a guy who makes such a big deal about his character. Senator John McCain has no character. Senator John McCain is a fake".

Ross Perot, former presidential candidate, who paid Senator John McCain's abandoned first wife's medical bills and introduced the McCain's to the Reagans; believes that both Carol McCain and the American people have been taken in by a man who is unusually slick and cruel. Senator John McCain is the classic opportunist. Senator John McCain is always reaching for attention and glory’ interview Perot gave to Jonathan Alter Because his first wife Carol walked with a limp following a car accident, Senator John McCain threw her out for a poster girl with big money from Arizona.

Now you know what the other guy is really like! So before you cast that your ballot in November ask yourself is this the manner of man that you will like to lead this great country of ours? Grandpa Senator John McCain is not worthy of all the encomiums being poured on him; little wonder his camp is dwelling much only on his forty years-ago prisoner of war status while paying lip-service to every other aspect of his over 70 years of life on this earth. The reason is that his camp are being purposefully selective because these other aspect of his life is filled with disrepute including the mean-hearted way in which he "discarded" his dutiful wife, Carol! Where are all the women of America who have been fighting for justice? They should demand justice for Carol John McCain and vote against Senator John McCain in November!
Some other prisoners of war (POW) will not even want to sit at the same table with Senator John McCain because of the contemptible manner with which he treats issues involving them."
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton was right - No way! No how! No McCain! No Palin!

SARAH PALIN IS A KILLER!


Of animals, that is! Why is Sarah Palin at war with nature? Why is Sarah Palin plundering the wildlife which makes Alaska attractive to tourists thereby endangering the eco-system! It is ironical that such a pretty face loves blood! What is it that drives this Alaskan beauty queen wanna-be to be so blood-thirsty? She kills animals! She loves wars and supports the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan! She loves to see blood and have been pregnant for five times! Yet she is very resolute against woman's right to choose. What is it or is she a daughter of a Vampire or is she the vampire herself?

Regrettably America is not probing hard enough at this woman's background or what her driving force is? Even PETA (people for ethical treament of animals) group has been uncanningly silent despite their protestations against animal cruelty. What is it America or is Sarah Palin going to get a free pass to the White-House without any form of scrutiny? Where is the fairness when compared to the barrage of x-ray and searchlight that was focused on Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton? It sounds like there is a grand conspiracy by a section of the polity to retain power at all cost and even if it means putting a neophyte Alaskan beauty queen wanna-be into the White-House.
Where is the outrage by the animal lovers about this woman, Sarah Palin, singular effort at annihilating the wildlife of Alaska? She kills anything that breathes that comes within sight except a human even if the human constitute a fetus which is not viable! Is America making a grandiose mistake by following this woman. This blogger must admit that her pretty face is tempting; but that should not be the exclusive consideration for the highest office of the land; especially at the present time when the stakes has never been higher. America, wake up and reject this side-show of the McCain's Republican Party. If it looks too good to be true, it must be fake! Icheoku says that pretty face and blood-thirsty are not both compatible characteristics and to find such in a Sarah Palin is a red flag which every American must open their electoral eyes to. If a mother of five children with such a pretty face is packing high caliber guns into the forest to shoot and kill wildlife, sometimes for her feminist can-do attitude; and to use their furs for her clothing and taxidermy just for a display, why would America not think twice before embracing this mean-spirited Jezebel hiding behind a very cute face?
It will be very late in the day when America will wake up one day to realize that they have bargained for a cloned-Dick Cheney! As always the clone usually turns out to be meaner that the original. Dick Cheney shot his friend in the face, may be Sarah Palin might shoot his President-friend in the head for a quick succession. It does not bode well when we are fighting for less guns in the society and in turn are drooling over a gun-toting beauty queen, Sarah Palin. Something is not right with this picture. It is an oxymoron; an irony of fate playing a game of possum with America. Icheoku hopes we do not fall a victim again to another semblance of "compassionate republican lingo of GW. How can a person who hurts these majestic looking animals of pristine Alaska be asking us to accept her as our vice president? Sarah Palin is a nature's punishment for animal lovers. Sarah Palin is animals worst nightmare! Sarah Palin is a terrorist to the animals of Alaskan wildlife. Please America, wage a war against animal terrorist, Sarah Palin and reject her and the ticket she represents come November 2008!

Animals also have rights and should be protected from the likes of the gun-toting and animal killing Sarah Palins of this world. Why would the native practices of wild Alaska that technically is not even America be forced on the lower 48 just because the Republican party cannot imagine life without power! A time worn saying has it, 'show me who you hang with and I will tell you who you are'. A look at the medieval friends of Sarah Palin shows what kind of primitive aadministration she will bring to Washington, assuming American are hoodwinked again into electing what will kill them.
What George Walker Bush started, Sarah Palin co-presidency with John McCain will complete and America will take the hit! If you are not tired of the past eight years, please elect them but if you are one of the several millions of Americans that cannot wait to see the nightmare at White-house retire away to Crawford, then become proactive today to elect the only meaningful hope in this election! No way! No how! No McCain! No Palin!

THE ABANDONED WIFE OF JOHN McCAIN!


Icheoku takes the pleasure to introduces you to Senator John McCain's other unsung and hardly mentioned wife, Carol McCain! Senator John McCain met and married the then Carol Shepp, a swim-suit model from Philadelphia before shipping off to duty to Vietnam in 1965. In 1967, John McCain was shot down, captured and imprisoned. It was during this time that Carol was involved in a car accident which left her in near paralysis; but never the less continued to care for their three children with John McCain.

However, when John McCain returned to the United States in 1973 after more than five years absence from home as a prisoner of war in Vietnam, he found his "deformed" wife no longer palatable for his taste and abandoned her for Cindy Hensley now Cindy McCain; whom he eventually married in 1980!
A navy captain, son of a navy admiral and grandson to another navy admiral, John met Cindy in 1979 at a military reception in Honolulu. Cindy is a daughter of a very wealthy politically-connected Arizona family, Jim Hensley, founder of the Hensley and Company, the nation's third-largest Anheuser-Busch distributor.

Icheoku asks, how dare Americans considering a wife- abandoning and philandering old man as their president? If this man who cannot manage his home and abandoned a dutiful wife when she needed him most, for a bimbo, what is the guarantee that he will not abandon his campaign promises should America elect him president somewhere along the line? According to Carol John McCain, ‘My marriage ended because John McCain didn’t want to be 40, he wanted to be 25.
