John McCain has a HEART Attack
(http://www.nationalenquirer.com/images/ne/209564/59153.jpg)
The rock group Heart has sent a tersely worded 'cease-and-desist' to John McCain - stop playing our song!
As John McCain finished his acceptance speech last night, VP candidate Sarah Palin joined him onstage in St Paul to the throbbing guitar licks of their 1977 hit "Barracuda".
Heart's Ann and Nancy Wilson condemned the song's use earlier in the convention and have now gone beyond a whiter shade of pale - to rage against the machine!
First Universal Music Publishing and Sony BMG who rep Heart sent a ceased-and-desist notice to the McCain-Palin campaign and now the Wilson sisters themselves have denounced the song's usage.
"Sarah Palin's views and values in NO WAY represent us as American women," the Wilsons said in a released statement.
"We ask that our song 'Barracuda' no longer be used to promote her image. The song 'Barracuda' was written in the late 70s as a scathing rant against the soulless, corporate nature of the music business, particularly for women. (The 'barracuda' represented the business.)
"While Heart did not and would not authorize the use of their song at the RNC, there's irony in Republican strategists' choice to make use of it there."
No response from McCain-Palin HQ as of yet but as Ann Wilson sang in "Barracuda", "If the real thing don't do the trick, you better make up something quick.''

Hope springs eternal....
are you referring to the title of this thread? ...if so, let's hope it occurs prior to the election,
so people will have to take a long hard look at reality in the face, and ask themselves if Palin is what they want.
So far ...68 views. I don't know how many heart attacks tho. :P

That's real nice :-\

Were you taken aback by the thread title. Did it freak you out when you first saw it?
Did you say "Oh $hit, what's going to happen now?" If so, I'm glad, ...'cause that's a possible reality you just might have to contend with if a Mccain / Palin ticket is elected. Even Coach thought McCain wouldn't last an entire term.

yes, it is. :)

No, I was taken aback by you wishing ill on someone like that.

I don't wish ill on the man, ...but I say if it's gonna happen, ...better it happen BEFORE the election,
rather than after, if he should win. In such an event 'Caribou Barbie' becomes president, and we're all fvcked!

lol, hello FTC.
This is just a preview of her marketing tactics for selling gas craps that mislead potential victims to put a cap in their gas tank and actually think it's saving them money....the money saved was the money sent to the merchant account.

Earth to YAM,
When you improve the efficiency of an engine, you reduce the emissions. Emissions are unburned hydrocarbons. When you burn ALL the fuel in the combustion chamber, ...rather than out the exhaust, you get more power to the engine, you see more of the fuel being burned used to power the vehicle, which results in

Actually, use of this product has been shown to protect the life of the engine and have them running cooler.
We've sold literally over $200 million dollars worth of this product, around the world,
...and not once has this product been shown to cause any damage to people's engines.
We have a $2 million dollar liability insurance policy in place, ...and have not had to use it once.
This product has been proven to be both safe & effective and will NOT void any manufacturers warranty.
Dynamometer testing has shown significant reductions in fuel consumption, as much as a 39% reduction in fuel consumed under a constant load. We however will guarantee a 7 - 14% improvement. Many are seeing significantly greater increases in mileage than that.

You don't see how the title is appropriate? Heart attacked mccain, ...hence he had a heart attack.
Made perfect sense to me. I didn't say he had a myocardial infarction, I said he had a heart attack.

I'd approve of the thread title even if it wasn't a play on words.
As they say in America, "It is ok for something to cause a few to suffer if the majority benefits from it

Yes!
Slavery is coming back!!!!

Yes!
Slavery is coming back!!!!
You're a day late and a dollar short! What do you call the 9-5? The conditions aren't the same as in previous centuries, ...but the end result is the same. People work their asses off to put money in someone else's pocket, and inexchange, they have barely enough to live on. People don't grow their own foods like they used to, so instead of a little plot of land where they can grow their own food, ...they're given a little paycheck, that they use to purchase foods from supermarket chains owned by the plantation owners. In the end, the plantation owners get it all back again. In this modern day version of slavery, ...the slaves just don't know they are enslaved, so instead of trying to break free, ...they instead clamour and compete to join the ranks of servitude, by handing out resumés and competing with each other. They call it being 'hired', but in reality they're saying 'enslave me'. Then, they go about serving their masters, and kissing butts, in the hopes that they can continue to slave away in exchange for the paycheck, that lets them live in a house, buy a car, ...and maybe take a vacation 2 weeks out of the year.
That's not freedom my friends, ...that's modern day slavery. It's not coming back, ...it's already here. 8)

And unlike in previous centuries where the slaveholder had to at least keep their slaves alive, this modern day version allows them to toss the slaves aside, ...go to China and acquire new slaves for pennies on the dollar.
With a few billion people at their disposal, Chinese slaves are very easy to come by.

I agree with you here, but just so you know,..... the plantation owners don't necessarily get the $$$.....

Why settle for slavery... when you can flip the script, ...enjoy a lifestyle beyond your wildest dreams,
...earn tremendous amounts in residual income, while saving people money, and helping the environment?
