Well, dudes, I am coming to you tonight from the ICU at Ewing Memorial Hospital, dude. I just awoke from a medically induced coma and saw my beautiful World Heavyweight Championship belt and my beautiful Joy Bozkivitz and Gail Donnelly sitting beside me. I then turned to see The Turd dutifully wiping my wounds, dude. Finally, my slave, my manservant, my loyal Love Muffin was there, changing my colostomy bag, brother. It took me a minute, but I pieced together that I destroyed that conservative Ass Butte and took what is rightfully mine, brother. I have been in consultation with Judge Jennings and we are currently in negotiations with #1 contender Chi-Town Chris Collins to determine the parameters of our title match at November Nightmare, dude. The Judge agrees that I will not have to defend my title before that date due to the injuries I have suffered and the fact that I won the title in a three stages of hell match, dude. Jennings believes that since I won the first stage, I was esentially the champ at that point and that my next two stages were title defenses, dude! On top of all the good news, Hillary has unveiled her universal health care plan, brother. If we had that now I wouldn't have to worry about these medical bills- thankfully BCPL and that prostate massager Kelly Millis will be footing the bill, dude.
As for that wretched, shit-stained UN fake ass shit belt that I had and threw out the ambulance...I am awarding it to the Legion of Dum for their retard victory at Ill Gotten Gains. It will now be a six-man tag team title, though I refuse to spend the money to get two more belts made for those waterheads, dude. We will call it the Six Man Tard Tag Team Title, brother.
As for Ass Butte, I hear that he was so destroyed by his defeat that he is now coaching the Braddock University Bombers football team. Well, good riddance, dude. You ducked me long enough, but all your dastardly deeds weren't enough to save you when the largest arms in the world and Liberalmania ran wild on you, dude!

My dreams will be realized tomorrow
I have just returned from my trip to Venice Beach, brothers. I am ready to take the World title from Ass Butte tomorrow night, dude. My destiny will finally be realized...I can feel it. Even George Bush is praying that I win the match, dudes.

Dennis Hastert is out, dude!
Another criminal Republican goes down, dude! Maybe he can become a trainer for the WNWA now, brother.
Rep. Dennis Hastert announced Friday he will not seek re-election next year, ending what will be a 22-year run in Congress that at its pinnacle made him the most powerful member of the House of Representatives and next in line to succeed the president behind the vice president.
"After all these years, it only seems fitting to reunite here in this place as I announce my future plans. And as some have now speculated, after much consideration I have decided not to seek another term in Congress," the Illinois Republican told the audience gathered at the Kendall County courthouse in Yorkville, Ill.
Hastert's remarks were interrupted several times by applause, but maybe the heaviest shouts of approval came when he made reference to his humble beginnings.
"Who would have guessed that a wrestling coach from Kendall County in Illinois would be the longest-serving Republican speaker of the House of Representatives?" he asked to a loud roar.
Last week, Hastert sent out a letter to supporters amid some secrecy, setting a date and time for an announcement, but the subject of the announcement wasn't clear, only that it was "an important announcement regarding my future."
As news of the announcement surfaced, most expected that the subject was about his campaign intentions — and most believed that he would announce his retirement after he served his term.
Officially, his staff didn't reveal his intentions, but congressional aides confirmed to several sources this week that Hastert would not seek re-election. And in media interviews late Thursday and early Friday, Hastert confirmed as much.
Leading up to the announcement Friday, light jazz played over the speaker system. When Hastert took the podium, he stood in front of the courthouse in the town where he used to coach high school wrestling, backed by his wife, Jean, and other family members. Loud applause erupted as he addressed a group gathered on a warm summer morning, some holding Hastert campaign posters.
Hastert pointed to local achievements as well as national ones -- like allowing seniors to work while receiving Social Security, allowing for health savings accounts and passing the Medicare prescription drug program.
"We repealed the death tax. We delivered the two largest tax cuts in American history, because we trusted people to make their own decisions with their own money," Hastert said, adding that while those programs fuel the U.S. economy, "our critics just didn't get it, and frankly, they still don't."
Hastert said the most important legislation passed under his tenure were national and homeland security-related laws following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
"On that dark day, for our nation, congressional leaders vowed to do whatever was necessary to protect our citizens from future attacks. And that is exactly what we did," Hastert said, pointing to intelligence-sharing measures taken.
"Beyond our borders, we made good on our promise to identify and eliminate those targeting the United States, wherever they reside. And Americans can disagree about national defense strategy, but there is no arguing that we led Congress to taking critical steps that have kept our citizens safe from attack," Hastert said.
After finishing his brief remarks, Hastert waded through the crowd packed with media and friends, hugging them and shaking their hands.
Hastert became speaker in 1999, succeeding Republican Newt Gingrich. Hastert went on to be the longest-serving Republican speaker of the House. He was succeeded this year by Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., after Republicans lost control of the House in last November's elections.
The Republican majority in Congress was threatened heading into last year's elections with a number of congressional ethics investigations coming to a head, as well as public opinion over the GOP-led White House and Congress' administration over the Iraq war.
When the dust settled, Republicans had lost 30 seats in the House, and Hastert pulled himself out of the running for Republican leadership positions for the new Congress.
Speaking to reporters shortly after the event Friday, Hastert indicated he would serve out the rest of his term, saying he's going to "continue to serve as long as I feel I can be effective in the Congress, and that's what my intent was."
He declined to say if he planned to back any candidate.
"I have to wait to see who files," he said.
He also said he's not sure what he'll do next, adding that it would not be proper for him to arrange something until he has left the House.
In a lighter question about his thinner appearance, he admitted: "I've lost a couple pounds. ... I eat about a third of what I ate before, and I try to stay at it."
Some of Hastert's most powerful friends issued statements after his announcement, praising him as a person and his stewardship over Congress.
"He is a good and decent man, and he was a strong and effective speaker," President Bush said.
"During his two decades in Congress, Denny rose through the ranks as a hard-working member whom colleagues on both sides came to admire, trust, and respect ... As my good friend prepares to move on to the next phase of his life, he has my gratitude for his distinguished service."
House Minority Leader John Boehner saluted Hastert for his continued fight for the party agenda, including fighting Democratic energy proposals and boosting domestic energy sources.
"Now, even after his tenure as speaker, his days of effective legislating continue. I look forward to serving beside him for the next year and a half, and I am eager to serve beside his Republican successor in the years to come. In the meantime, I wish Denny and Jean all the best as they prepare for the next stage of their lives," Boehner said.

Business
Last night I destroyed The GOP and gained revenge on that short bus riding David Downs, dude.
Now, for more important things. I have a match against that wannabe library custodian who couldn't cut it, Big Pimpin' Ernest and some one-armed cajun named Amos Moses. Well, dudes, I'll whip your asses at the next WNWA Wrestling show. I also have the choice of any partner on the WNWA roster, brother, so whatcha gonna do when Liberalmania runs wild on you, dude!!?!
I have also been the target of false accusations recently and had legal charges brought against me. Well, Judge Jennings will see to it that nothing comes of these false charges.

Sam Bash is my bitch!
Tonight, I once again dominated that diabolical, redneck conservative Sam Bash on national TV. He thought he had me with his Texas Cloverleaf, but I countered that foolish manuever, brother. He was whining that I was holding the ropes, but the ref can't call what the ref doesn't see, dude! Just like voter fraud in Philly, you gotta prove it, brother- unlike the debacles in Florida and Ohio- that doesn't need to be proven because we know it happened, dude. I will now focus my attention on that other conservative, Ass Butte. However, I need a tune up match before the next PPV, so I am challenging those retarded ass clowns The GOP to a handicap match at the next WNWA Wrestling show for my UN/ACLU Championship, brother.

Liberal Bloggers Unite!!
We are going to do this, brother!! Power to the people, dude!
Bloggers Consider Forming Labor Union
Monday August 6, 9:24 am ET By Ashley M. Heher, AP Business Writer
Left-Leaning Bloggers Debate Forming Labor Union
CHICAGO (AP) -- Do bloggers need their own Norma Rae?
In a move that might make some people scratch their heads, a loosely formed coalition of left-leaning bloggers are trying to band together to form a labor union they hope will help them receive health insurance, conduct collective bargaining or even set professional standards.
The effort is an extension of the blogosphere's growing power and presence, especially within the political realm, and for many, evokes memories of the early labor organization of freelance writers in the early 1980s.
Organizers hope a bloggers' labor group will not only showcase the growing professionalism of the Web-based writers, but also the importance of their roles in candidates' campaigns.
"I think people have just gotten to the point where people outside the blogosphere understand the value of what it is that we do on the progressive side," said Susie Madrak, the author of Suburban Guerilla blog, who is active in the union campaign. "And I think they feel a little more entitled to ask for something now."
But just what that something is may be hard to say.
In a world as diverse, vocal and unwieldy as the blogosphere, there's no consensus about what type of organization is needed and who should be included. Some argue for a free-standing association for activist bloggers while others suggest a guild open to any blogger -- from knitting fans to video gamers -- that could be created within established labor groups.
Others see a blogger coalition as a way to find health insurance discounts, fight for press credentials or even establish guidelines for dealing with advertising and presenting data on page views.
"It would raise the professionalism," said Leslie Robinson, a writer at ColoradoConfidential.com. "Maybe we could get more jobs, bona fide jobs."
But not everyone is on board.
"The reason I like blogging is that it's very anarchistic. I can do whatever I want whenever I want, and oh my God, you're not going to tell me what to do," said Curt Hopkins, the founder of the Committee to Protect Bloggers.
"The blogosphere is such a weird term and such a weird idea. It's anyone who wants to do it," Hopkins said. "There's absolutely no commonality there. How will they find a commonality to go on? I think it's doomed to failure on any sort of large scale."
About 11 percent of American Internet users have created Web pages or blogs for others while eight percent have created their own online journals or Weblogs, according to the Pew Internet & American Life Project.
With pages focused on everything from bird watching to celebrity footwear, more than 120,000 blogs are created every day and more than 58,000 new posts are made each hour, according to data from Technorati, which tracks more than 94 million blogs worldwide.
Few bloggers are paid for their posts, and even fewer are able to make a living doing the work. But many say they often devote as much energy and time to their online musings as they do to their salaried careers.
While bloggers work to organize their own labor movement, their growing numbers are already being courted by some unions.
"Bloggers are on our radar screen right now for approaching and recruiting into the union," said Gerry Colby, president of the National Writers Union, a local of the United Auto Workers. "We're trying to develop strategies to reach bloggers and encourage them to join."
Unsurprisingly, there's decidedly less support for a union movement among conservative bloggers.
Mark Noonan, an editor at Blogs for Bush and a senior writer at GOP Bloggers, said he worries that a blogger union would undermine the freewheeling nature of the blogosphere, regardless of its political composition.
"We just go out there and write what is on our mind, damn the critics," he said. "To make a union is to start to provide a firm structure for the blogosphere and that would merely make the blogosphere a junior-league (mainstream media). ... Get us a union and other 'professional' organizations and we'll start to be conformist and we'll start to be just another special interest."
But that's not how Kirsten Burgard sees it.
Sitting at a panel titled "A Union for Bloggers: It's Time to Organize" at this week's YearlyKos Convention for bloggers in Chicago, Burgard said she'd welcome a chance to join a unionized blogging community.
"I sure would like to have that union bug on my Web site," said Burgard, a blogger who uses the moniker Bendy Girl.
Madrak hopes that regardless the form, the labor movement ultimately will help bloggers pay for medical bills. It's important, she said, because some bloggers can spend hours a day tethered to computers as they update their Web sites.
"Blogging is very intense -- physically, mentally," she said. "You're constantly scanning for news. You're constantly trying to come up with information that you think will mobilize your readers. In the meantime, you're sitting at a computer and your ass is getting wider and your arm and neck and shoulder are wearing out because you're constantly using a mouse."

It's over, brother!
Just like I'm going to do to Ass Butte, Hillary is doing it to Obama. Stick a fork in Uncle Tobama, he's done. Hillary will be coronated on 1-20-09, dudes.
Latest USAToday/Gallup Poll gives Clinton 22-point lead over Obama
"New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has significantly widened her lead over Illinois Sen. Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination," USA TODAY Washington bureau chief Susan Page writes.
She tells us that according to the latest USA TODAY/Gallup Poll, Clinton's support among Democrats and independent voters who "lean" Democratic stands at 48%. -- up eight percentage points from three weeks ago.
Obama's support: 26%, down two points. In third: Former North Carolina senator John Edwards, at 12%.
It's probably not surprising that strategists for the two top Democrats have sharply different takes on the news.
"People are seeing her as the one ready to be president," Mark Penn, Clinton's chief strategist, told Susan. Bill Burton, Obama’s spokesman, dismissed the findings. "National polls may go up and down before people actually start voting, but their irrelevance will not," he said.
Susan, in a story that will be posted later this evening at USATODAY.com, will also report that on the Republican side, "the race was stable: Former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani at 33%, former Tennessee senator Fred Thompson at 21%, Arizona Sen. John McCain at 16% and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney at 8%.
The survey was taken Friday through Sunday. It has a margin of error of +/- 5 percentage points for the responses on the Democratic and Republican races.
