Oh Brother; An Indicator Of A McCain Victory

If you're looking for a sign that John McCain will win next Tuesday, we may have found one in the historically tested Presidential crazy brother barometer.

McCain's little brother Joe had an emergency on a Virginia freeway last week and dialed 911 in a desperate call for help.

Operator: 911, state your emergency.

Joe McCain: Well, it's not an emergency, but do you know why on one side at the damn drawbridge of 95 traffic is stopped for 15 minutes and yet traffic's coming the other way?

Operator: Sir, are you calling 911 to complain about traffic?

Joe McCain: Ahhh, fuck you!

This is a troubling sign for the Obama campaign. Recent history shows that the electorate votes favorably for the candidate that carries the baggage of an obnoxious brother.

Billy Carter, the man that put the goob in goober, contributed watered down beer and the potential of daily embarrassment to his brother, President Jimmy Carter.

Then there is Roger Clinton, a man that still holds the honor of best political family mullet. Roger reminded us that you can take the boy out of Arkansas, but you can't take the Arkansas out of the boy.

Watch those polls this week. We may just see a Joe McCain bump.

Good thing we have Obama's lil Auntie Zeituni and Uncle Omar. They apparently are being kept under wraps... I hope he cares for the middle class more than his own family...
--- Found Living in Rundown Boston Neighborhood
The Democratic candidate's Kenyan aunt is found living in a rundown public housing neighborhood in South Boston..

Looks like she will come out of hiding after the election... Quote from article .'Speaking outside her home in Flaherty Way, South Boston, on Tuesday, Onyango, 56, confirmed she was the "Auntie Zeituni" in Obama's memoir. She declined to answer most other questions about her relationship with the presidential contender until after the November 4 election.

"I can't talk about it, I just pray for him, that's all," she said, adding: "After the 4th, I can talk to anyone."
