Receiving Me? obtained the following article from The Society for the Betterment of Follicle Health.

Our Completely Irrefutable Presidential Hairdo Review

First, a few notes on recent presidential candidates (just for fun):

John Edwards. The cheating cheat! He’s unworthy of the hair on his own head. Can we touch, can we touch?

Barack Obama. Well groomed, … [continue]



The One Candidate Campaign

Aug 6th, 2008 | By Freeman Frohlich | Category: Political Pinions

WASHINGTON, DC - Republican National Committee Chairman Mike Duncan confirmed today that the Republican Party will remove John McCain from the ballot as their official candidate, and instead run “Not Obama”. Mr. Duncan stated to the press, “We have found that the campaign really centers on the one candidate, so why bother running another person against him? Our … [continue]



Obama Vows to Please Lanny Davis

Aug 1st, 2008 | By Paul Fidalgo | Category: Political Pinions

Acknowledging his lack of support from an all-important constituency within the Democratic Party, presumptive party nominee Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., announced his intention to focus his efforts upon winning the Lanny Davis vote.

Davis, an attorney and an irrationally rabid supporter of New York senator Hillary Clinton’s during the Democratic primaries, has been extremely critical of Sen. Obama, and … [continue]



Leaked Rice

Jul 21st, 2008 | By Paul Fidalgo | Category: Political Pinions

BREAKING - Receiving Me? has obtained a letter penned by Condoleezza Rice, a draft of the letter eventually sent to Congress on the Colombian Free Trade Agreement. This never-before-seen version sheds subtle new light on the reports of Secretary Rice’s interest in the Vice Presidency, but it requires some heavy between-line reading.

Statement by Secretary Condoleezza … [continue]



Government Priorities Revealed

Jul 16th, 2008 | By Leslie Fox | Category: Political Pinions

Careful examination of government spending records and budgets has revealed a radical priority shift at both the state and federal levels. “Old” government programs aimed at highway maintenance, effective public schooling, industrial safety regulation, and major crimes investigation have been largely curtailed in favor of a new, radically more ass-painy, initiative.

It’s a move that some are calling … [continue]



Obama’s URL: “Fight the Smears”

Jun 28th, 2008 | By Pates Baroni | Category: Political Pinions

Amidst the heat of any campaign, unpleasant rumors will circulate. Sometimes the gossip is founded in truth, but often the claims are spurious. This is the nature of battle for public office. It takes thick skin and perseverance to run the gauntlet of public scrutiny. We have all had our moments in the spotlight, gunning for some position of power. … [continue]

Being Female Doesn’t Count

May 13th, 2008 | By Bernard Bygott | Category: Political Pinions

I had (for a few months now) assumed that Hillary Clinton was the first woman in the United States to win a presidential primary. Turns out, as you may already know, I was wrong. In 1972 Shirley Chisholm took sixty-seven percent of the vote in the New Jersey Democratic primary, becoming both the first African-American and first woman to … [continue]



Can Wrong be Wright?

Mar 22nd, 2008 | By Bernard Bygott | Category: Political Pinions

Poor Jeremiah Wright! What did he ever do to deserve such derision and popularity? If things keep going in this direction the Obama campaign may ask him to tone it down so that people remember who is running for President. We all remember fondly the brilliant marketing jujitsu that Oprah Winfrey executed while simultaneously bringing attention to … [continue]



Why I’m Voting for Barack Obama

Mar 19th, 2008 | By Leslie Fox | Category: Political Pinions

This week I saw something that I thought I would never see. A national politician got hit with controversy, and rather than run from it or prevaricate, he addressed it. By now those of you who follow politics will certainly have heard, or heard of the remarks that Mr. Obama’s minister, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright made and the vitriol and … [continue]
