Krup's Tumblr Will Tumble For Ya

Things are a little topsy turvy in the Krup universe these days so I don't quite have as much time to blog as I would like. So, in the meantime, you can click the Tumblr logo below or the "Super Kids" pic on the left to find items that interest me (and just might interest you):

McCain courted the oh-so-critical biker vote yesterday at the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and suggested that his lovely, pill-stealing second wife enter the Miss Buffalo Chip contest. Cindy responded with a wave and a thumbs up. The contest sounds like family fun, no? See for yourself:

I think that video should be required watching for any Clinton supporter who pledged to vote for McCain. And that was just the creepy part of his speech to his "friends." Check out McCain's energy plan:

h/t to The Rude Pundit who had this to say:

"Of course, John McCain won't have to pay any price for making an appearance at an event known and celebrated for its public drunkenness and fucking for an audience, not to mention dressing like (and in some cases actually being) outlaws. Imagine if it was a bunch of black people doing this, booty-shakin' in thongs, wearing gang colors, and downing 40s, and Barack Obama showed up to speak, and you pretty much can assume that Bill O'Reilly's neck veins would pop and shower his set with arterial spray. But because it's good ol' boys and girls? Well, that's just goddamn American fun.

"Yes, it was a fine day for the McCain campaign, with the candidate suggesting that his wife strip for the crowd and saluting the waste of gas, saying of the roar of engines, 'It’s the sound of freedom,' and, of course, dependency on foreign sources of oil."

How Could Anyone In America Want This Doddering Old Man To Answer The White House Phone At 3 A.M.?

I can imagine him picking up the phone and having absolutely no idea where or who he was. I'm not trying to be mean. I'm just pointing out that getting old ain't easy. "Presidenting" is hard.

Rap Is So Much Better When It's Performed By Muppets

I was a big rap fan back in the late '80s before it became all blinged-out and violent. You know, when it was smart and/or had a sense of humor (De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, Black Sheep). This mash-up of a M.O.P. song makes it all good again:

Facts Are Just So Darn Silly

2008-07-24T11:07:00.001-04:00

Either John McCheese has no idea what he's talking about or he is a colossal liar:

Straight Talk:

The major Sunni sheik who John McCain said was protected by the surge and subsequently helped lead the Anbar Awakening, was actually assassinated by an al-Qaeda led group in midst of the surge.

On Tuesday evening, McCain falsely claimed that the downturn in violence in Iraq's Anbar province was a result of the surge, when in fact the surge began months afterward. Moreover, he said, if it weren't for the work of U.S. forces, the major Sunni figure leading that awakening wouldn't have had the protection he needed.

"Colonel MacFarland was contacted by one of the major Sunni sheiks," said the Senator. "Because of the surge we were able to go out and protect that sheik and others. And it began the Anbar awakening."

The Arizona Republican's campaign went further the next day, claiming that the major figures that turned around Anbar province would have been killed had the surge policy not been in place. "If Barack Obama had had his way, the Sheiks who started the Awakening would have been murdered at the hands of al Qaeda," said spokesman Tucker Bounds.

Sadly, that murder took place even with the surge underway. In September 2007, Abdul Sattar Abu Risha, the sheik widely credited with persuading Sunni leaders to turn against al Qaeda in Iraq, died in a bomb attack in Anbar. His work, prior to then, was held as a major effort in transforming the province from one of Iraq's deadliest areas into one of its safest.

Sadly, the mainstream media along with too many Americans believe that John McCain knows how to win wars that are unwinnable.

I know a number of people who don't get Foo Fighters which I honestly can't understand. Does that mean they like shit? Because Dave Grohl has been fighting foo for well over a decade. To prove to you doubters that Dave and his band do indeed seriously rock, check out their cover of The Who's cover of Mose Allison's "Young Man Blues":
