While the History Channel and CBS specials are showing on body language, I would like to offer a video which does not focus on political figures. Rather it centers on actually reading body language in a much more informal setting.

So with this bit of information after watching the History Channel program you might say that during Richard Nixon’s “I Am Not a Crook” speech, his boom boom was unavailable. Rather he was really trying to say please don’t rape me in my assholes, but if you must please use some lube.
Obama recently went off on McCain for his lack of technical prowess. Meanwhile, Obama has “his people” set up a blog, a twitter, a MySpace, and bunch of other Web 2.0 garbage that I am 100% certain he has no idea how to use, himself. And it really ticks me off, because it is then used to harass and annoy people who don’t want it.
And this right here is where’s it’s an issue. Obama keeps going off that McCain is “out of a touch” with technology and living in a world of twenty-there years ago, and yet Obama is out of touch with the very laws he’s being paid to help to shape and mould — and even then, doesn’t show up for work most of the time.
Federal Statutes have declared that Campaign E-mails soliciting for donations fall under the category of “Commercial E-Mail.” I have received no less than three of these e-mails per day for the last month — all from Barak Obama. Despite my having opted out. Multiple times. To no avail.
It requires that your email give recipients an opt-out method.
It requires that commercial email be identified as an advertisement and include the sender’s valid physical postal address.
And it appears that there’s only one of those items the Obama campaign hasn’t broken!
Oh, and it carries with it fines of up to $11,000 per violation, raking in a conservative estimate of nearly ten million dollars that Barak Obama owes in fines, plus State Recompense and the FTC-Imposed Civil Fees, which means that Barack Obama owes me $45,900.
So McCain is out of touch with Technology … Obama is out of touch with Law, and the spirit of it.
So seriously, Mr. Ospama, stop adding me to MySpace! Don’t follow me on Twitter! And first and foremost, quit sending me these damn e-mails! And get out that check book — I could really use it right now, so I’ll settle for an even $45,000.
One of the things you learn to stop doing when you move to another country is bitching about politics. You’re an immigrant, an outsider, and in most cases, you can’t hope to understand the nuances of another country’s politics.
Unless you’re an extremely astute bastard, like Craig Ferguson.

He also re-iterates a point I’ve made a billion and a half times: if you didn’t excercise your Right to vote, then you Lost your Right to Bitch. e.g. if you didn’t vote in the last election, no one cares about your disdain and comdemnation — STFU!
Plain and simple.
Oh … And if you’re a Senator who didn’t even bother to show up and vote on all the Resolutions you were supposed to vote on because you’re too busy blazing a campaign trail, you’re a total Asshat! Not only do these Senators have a responsibility to vote on these issues, it’s their duty and their job to do it — especially when it’s a bill that’s at the heart of their campaign promises.
And it’s interesting to note, when you go down the Voting Records to see that the Head of one of our two major political parties pretty much hasn’t voted on anything in like … eight years? Apparently, the Jackass that represents him is a little more personal…
