The Kind-Hearted Smart Aleck

Over the past couple weeks or so, I've several people - the president included - whom have claimed that the Republican Party have attempted to create an imaginary Barack Obama. This theory really came to fruition when actor Clint Eastwood spoke at the Republican National Convention and pretended to have a conversation with Obama courtesy of an empty chair. To that which the empty chair could attest - the GOP has definitely created an imaginary Barack Obama. Let's take the chain e-mail fact-checking site, Snopes.com , to further illustrate this. President Obama hasn't even been in office for four years and there have been, at one point or another, 125 e-mails spread about him. Of these 125, only 17 are true (13.6%). As four have been undecided as far as how much validity they contain, that means 104 of the 125 e-mails are, on some level or another, false (83.2%). If the four undecided e-mails are false as well, that would mean that 86.4% of those 125 e-mails are false in s...

Due to the cable being out last night, I was not able to see this in real time, but I guess actor Kal Penn poked fun at Clint Eastwood's discussion with an empty chair last night at the Democratic National Convention. It can be viewed at the link below. I honestly thought it could have been funnier, but was entertaining nevertheless. I'm hoping there are more jokes at the expense of Eastwood and the chair in the coming two days, especially by the president himself tomorrow night. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/05/kal-penn-clint-eastwood-dig-man-in-chair_n_1857284.html

Courtesy of a Pew Research Center Poll, it was showcased that the highlight of the Republican National Convention was a tight-race between the Republican nominee, Mitt Romney, and actor Clint Eastwood with his co-star - an empty chair. While Romney received 17% of the vote, he was beat out by Eastwood and company (a chair), who received 20%. That's right, ladies and gentlemen - the highlight of the Republican National Convention was a grumpy old man talking to an empty chair. You just can't make this stuff up, I tell you! Well, I suppose you could, but would have to be extremely high at the time. http://www.people-press.org/2012/09/05/rnc-highlights-romney-shares-top-billing-with-eastwood/

The final night of the Republican National Convention was hardly one to remember, well, besides one moment which I'll get to in a couple minutes. Newt Gingrich and his wife took turns reading from the teleprompter, auditioning to become presenters at the next Oscars. Strangely enough, when Newt opened the envelope, he said, "...and the winner for best husband to three different women with a first name resembling that of a salamander - it's me - Newt Gingrich!" The crowd went wild. Newt then thanked his first couple wives, before realizing his third was standing right next to him (he thought he was hallucinating at first and saw a ghost, but realized it was his wife), so he placed his arm around her and said, "Let Newt do to you what he did to all those other women. Pucker up, baby, and then go to the land down under!" After making out with his wife for a few moments and realizing she couldn't "go to the land down under" while on camera at tha...
