Republican presidential candidate John McCain’s website currently features ABBA’s “Take A Chance,” because the Senator simply loves the Seventies Swedish sensation*. From The Arizona Republic:
The intriguing – some might say disturbing – revelation occurred during the Johnjay and Rich show at 104.7 FM (KZZP). The presidential candidate called in at 6 a.m. as part of the duo’s Who Do You Know contest, in which famous people phone in and stump for everyday folks to win a car….
“He said that a lot of people won’t admit that they love ABBA, but he would,” radio jock Rich Berra says. “Then he asked us if it was old-fashioned to like ABBA, and we said that it wasn’t old-fashioned at all.”
Oh, McCain, you adorable kook!
*Is that unpatriotic?

All further doubt be removed, I really dislike this group.

Anyway, I hate John McCain, but watching that video in 1970 hoo-ha whatever it was was – arguably – the first time I felt I was “not like other boys”.
Sorry. Had to share….

If I had to reveal one musical guilty pleasure, Abba would be it. My roommate hates it.

First the man-hug, now this.
I think John’s got some ‘splainin’ to do.
If he were a real dancin’ “queen” + I owned or had access to a way-back machine, I’d hit that about 30 yrs. ago.

Articles of Impeachment Being Introduced in Congress Right Now
Right now, Monday night, Rep. Dennis Kucinich is on the floor of the House of Representatives introducing articles of impeachment against George W. Bush. He is presenting a 35 count indictment which is being broadcast on C-Span. We will provide a more detailed update, but wanted to be sure to let everyone know right away…
Lets hope Mr Kucinich succeeds!
Impeaching the gang (President George W. Bush,
Vice President Richard B. Cheney,
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice,
Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld, and
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales) will send a strong signal to any new president not to give-in to his handlers or, better yet, to get rid of them altogether!
