GROSSE POINTE FARMS, Mich.—A suburban Detroit woman has decided to scare up the vote among neighborhood children by just offering treats to John McCain supporters.

Shirley Nagel of Grosse Pointe Farms, Mich., handed out candy Friday only to those who shared her support for the Republican presidential candidate and his running mate Sarah Palin. Others were turned away empty-handed.

TV station WJBK says a sign outside Nagel’s house warned: “No handouts for Obama supporters, liars, tricksters or kids of supporters.”

Nagel calls Democrat Barack Obama “scary.” When asked about children who were turned away empty-handed and crying, she said: “Oh well. Everybody has a choice.”

Here’s the video of the woman (The Grinch who Stole Halloween?) telling her views in her own words. And yes, the video is AWESOME!

This is not a reflection of the McCain campaign - it could just have easily been a stupid bitch supporting the democratic side, it doesn’t matter. It IS an example of how some people use their belief in something (politics, religion, race superiority, anti-choice movement) as an outlet for their hatred and anger because deep down they’re just sad, miserable losers who blame every problem in their life on those who don’t share their opinions, rather than taking personal responsibility for their own happiness, and rather than gaining a sense of self-esteem through positive and constructive means.

I will say that the tone of the McCain campaign has fed these people more than the tone of the Obama campaign has fed similar psychos on the democratic side (like that stupid asshat that hung a Sarah Palin mannequin for a “halloween” decoration; go away fucktard the democrats don’t want you).

Voter intimidation (telling minorities that democrats are supposed to vote 11/5 for example), turning away 4 year olds who “would vote for Obama” (see video), putting out rumors that one candidate is Muslim or not born in America (because unfortunately in America Muslim is an insult), or the US Sentaor who said he asked his staff to investigate if Obama truly is the Anitichrist… this is not what America is supposed to be.

The voter intimidation alone, and all of the dirty tricks being played to decrease the number of registered democrats who vote, is something I’d expect in a third world country with a corrupt power system, not here! Not in the 21st century, for God’s sake!

I think the finest moment of this campaign on either side was when McCain took the microphone away from the woman who started to call Obama untrue descriptors at a rally. That’s what we need: People on both sides calling bullshit when they see it, and not standing for it.

And Michigan woman, I think McCain and Palin would call bullshit on you. Trivial bullshit for sure - it’s not as serious as lying about the other candidate or making death threats by hanging a candidate in effigy, but bullshit all the same.

Wirthy over at Drunk and Crippled has a great post re-capping the SAG Awards. It was written especially for people like me: the ones who don’t give a rats ass about the awards, but would never pass up a good chance to make fun of celebrities.

I can’t stomach awards shows. I know many people love them and that’s cool, but I don’t understand the appeal. I haven’t watched one since 2000 when I tuned in especially to see Robin Williams perform the song Blame Canada from the South Park movie (click for video).

I can’t even watch an awards show that is hosted by sexy, sexy Jon Stewart. To see stars falling all over themselves, patting each other on the back for doing a job they get paid very well to do… ugh, it just reeks of conceit.

Here’s an example (from Carpetbagger). Josh Brolin, upon accepting his award, said: “I’m taking my time, man. This is my fricking moment,” never mind that he was accepting an ensemble award.

Josh Brolin, newly-won ensemble SAG award in hand, assaults some unimportant actress from said ensemble that had the nerve to try and steal his fricking moment.

So Wirthy, I admire you for sitting through a whole evening of the SAG Awards, armed with nothing but a single-serving bottle of champagne, so that you could bring us a funny post. You took one for the team!

(I thought EVERY bottle of champagne was single-serve.)

So if you walked out to your car and saw this post-it note on your car’s mirror, would it cause you stress?

Please call me about your car! 303.296.0809 [signed] MB

Well for a lady named Kristi, who did get this note on her car in a darkened parking garage, she thought someone had run into her car. (That would cause ME stress, I’ll tell you that!)
Here’s what she said on her blog:

So I paused thinking, “did someone hit me and leave me a note? Is my car THAT dirty that I didn’t even notice?” So, I got out. Did a little inspection. And nothin’. No dents, no dings, no damage. Why would someone leave a post-it note if nothing bad happened? Oh geez, is my car about to blow up? Is someone trying to warn me of something? I start freaking out and thoughts of every intense thriller movie with car blow-up-scenes started going through my head. I call James. Then, I call the number.

I get put on hold for 4 minutes! I hang up. I call again. After 4 billion rings, some dude answers. I say, “hey, are you the person who left a post-it note on my car?”. The dufus on the other end basically tells me that one of his guys probably did. I’m like, “who are you?”. He tells me he is from some auto glass repair place and they would like to fix my cracked windshield. WTF!? Since when did people start soliciting via post-it note?

Smart Glass, you truly do SUCK! How DARE you pull shit like this?

So let’s fight back, eh?

I doubt if anyone is keeping scientifically-sound statistics, but if I were a bettin’ woman, I’d bet that the divorce rate of couples who CRAM wedding cake into each other’s faces at the reception is about 98%.

There is nothing funny about a woman in a $1000 wedding dress, $150 hairdo and $80 makeup job getting assaulted by (or assaulting) her new husband at the reception. Taking your $850 wedding cake and turning it into a grade school cafeteria food fight is not only tacky, but it shows poor judgment on so many levels. Whenever I see a video of a couple doing this on AFHV, I just want to mail the bride a business card to a battered women’s shelter. And when it’s the bride acting like scum, it makes me want to call up the groom and ask him if he’s dumped the trailer trash husbandbeater yet.
