Racist, Whore, Bitch, Puta!

For Zee, who told a crowd of rich people attending an Obama Fundraiser last night, “Democracy is not something I intend to ‘Just get over.’”

Zee went all by herself to Boston to hold a homemade sign on the sidewalk outside Barack Obama’s fundraiser last night. Her sign was yellow with black lettering. It read “Selected Not Elected.” After holding her sign for half an hour or so she was accosted by a young man who accused her of harassment of the well-heeled Bostonians tottering into the party.

“He thought it would be cute to call me Puta. After that, these young guys are thinking ha-ha-ha this one guy is calling her an idiot so we can gang up on this lone woman and that’s when the other kids moved in and just surrounded. They grabbed my sign and tore it up and threw it in the street. They called me racist, whore, and bitch.

This old, muscled, tatooed veteran with a cane came to my rescue. He broke up the mob and faced them down. He said, ‘How old are you?’ to the young guys attacking me. ‘You don’t know anything. Don’t tell me you know anything!’ He hobbled off after the young men dispersed.

This other man came up to me and said, ‘Thanks for making a spectacle of yourself. Thanks for being a model of grace and modesty.’ He was pretending to be nice.

Afterward, there was this young guy, and he came up to me and put his arm around me and just said ‘Thank you.’ He was just someone who was watching. I said, ‘You’re going to make me cry. And he said, ‘No, I’m serious. THANK YOU’”

From every Puma across the nation, Zee, “THANK YOU.”

Hey Axelrod! Where’s the Bounce??

So if you fancy yourself the Democrats’ Karl Rove — an unbeatable master of politics and strategy, how come the Grand Tour was such a flop for your guy? Sinking in blue swing states, tanking in red states. . . Most Americans believe the Ego Trip, I mean World Tour, hurts or doesn’t help his chances in November. Your guy can’t even make a dent against an old guy who hasn’t even begun to campaign against you in earnest. You’re losing during the warm-up? Oops. Groan.

Now what? Time to start huddling with your astroturfers, hackers, and bundlers? You sly devil! I see you reaching for that card up your sleeve — you know the one with the big “R” on it. Very clever. I know! Better yet! Why don’t you blame that monster, Hillary Clinton, for ruining everything?! Oh dang — you already forced her from the race. Too bad for you. What’s that you say, David?

WAHHHHHHH!! WAHHHH!!! Yeah, man — I hear ya.

REMINDER! The second installment of Meet Me in Denver with Murphy and Friends airs tonight on NQR, Blog Talk Radio. We’ll be talking with a Clinton delegate from California, an activist in Denver, and getting an update from Texas on the filming of caucus fraud witnesses for our film. Tune in at 9pm eastern, and be sure to call the Listener Line! Call-in Number: (347) 677-0792

UPDATE July 26, 2008 at 9:47am: Puma PAC received a $3,000 donation on Thursday. We are enormously grateful and humbled by the generosity of the gift. Margie’s daughter J, who set up the donation, sent an email this morning, part of which I’d like to share with you:

There are so many women everywhere who wish that they could give, just don't put a
name to it.  You could use my mother's name Margie.  I cannot really type much
without crying but she was so excited about Hillary, as was I, and her life was much
like what the DNC did to Hillary so this has been doubly painful.  

Also, I am getting ready to meet with a group of VIP's next week and I am going to
encourage them to join and match.   If I hadn't given so much to Hillary, I would
have had more.  Never in my life have I wished for money more than now.  I rescue
everything--from people to animals--so I don't have much.  However, if I win the
lottery it will be yours and Hillarys.

Thank you so much Margie and J. Your contribution will go a LONG way to helping Puma PAC be the strongest and most effective Voice of the Voters in American history. We will be working every day and night to make sure that stories like your mother’s, and Hillary’s, become part of the past.

Sunday Night Re-focus ;-)

Phewf. What a week! 50,000 or more letters sent to public officials. Hundreds, maybe thousands, of phone calls to the RBC and others. Letters to the Editor published across the land. The debut of our radio show broke records for numbers listening. Filming began on the Puma PAC documentary. Local actions organized around the land by mamapuma and her tireless team of regional moderators. Trish and the Crackest Team of Puma PAC Investigators developing THE most comprehensive database of contact information imaginable. MP helping dozens of new members start blogging and keeping our forums civilized and focused at ALL hours (well maybe not ALL hours!). A lonely vigil on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. A shameful letter from DNC officials. Some fair and balanced reporting from Tom Abrahams, and unabated hate and harrasment flowing from the Obama Movement.

On a personal note, I met my hero Riverdaughter and was more impressed than ever. I was sad to see our friend and Action Center originator PA4Hill move on. She’ll be missed. I was also sad to learn that MP ran into some personal static as a result of politics and the politics of posting.

We’ve accomplished so much everyone, and you know what I say — Tomorrow is another day!

I don’t know about you Folks, but I’m ready to KEEP IT UP. . .

Independence Day

Quote of the Day, via bmw60 in comments: “The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable–and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.
It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace– but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! ” — Patrick Henry, 1775

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

DENVER UPDATE, July 3, 2008 at 12:35pm: TRAVEL UPDATE! Puma PAC will be providing buses from New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Dallas, Jacksonville, and Washington DC to bring Pumas from all across the country to Denver, starting on August 24th. Please help pay for these buses. Many Pumas will find it difficult to pay for getting the time off, motels, food etc. Let’s help as many Puma PAC members as we can join us in Denver. This is a special BUSES TO DENVER FUND. All donations made here will go EXCLUSIVELY to paying for buses. If we can raise enough to hire 100 buses, then hell yes we’ll do it. If 20,000 members each throw in $10 bucks for a free ride to Denver for a fellow Puma we’ll have enough for 500 buses. Grab your fanny packs and get your days off from work Pumas. We’ll have a mighty convoy to Denver rolling on August 24th!


 
Today is our one month birthday. It was Tuesday evening, June 3, when I pressed “publish” on  the first blog post and Puma PAC was born. Overnight I watched as 35,000 people clicked on the post. Since then we’ve had 600,000 visitors, thousands of members officially join us, and thousands of women and men from around the country (and the world) flood our mailboxes and comment threads with offers to help.

In our first month we have sent THOUSANDS of letters to the DNC, the Obama Campaign, and elected officials around the country. We have handed out flyers, brought home-made signs to Unity, New Hampshire, and spread our message like wild-fire on national and local TV. We have faxed, emailed, and called our leaders on the phone to give them one, unequivocal message: We are the VOTERS. This is OUR party. Stop dividing us; start leading us; and RESPECT THE VOICE OF THE VOTERS.

Here’s the lesson the DNC and the Obama campaign have taken away from our phenomenally successful efforts in our FIRST 30 days: “Holy smokes, Howard! They’re going to swing this election! What are we going to doooo?!!”

This ever-hardening conviction is the reason the trolls are up in arms. It’s why Obama dragged Hillary to Unity NH for the Clown Show. It’s why the Bots have been furiously trying to shut down blogs, email accounts, and web pages; scurrilously purging and attacking political dissenters like angry, desperate rats. It’s why the less shady and slimy bloggers like Amanda Marcotte and Huffington Post have launched a personal humiliation and ridicule campaign against people like Riverdaughter, Will Bower, Diane Montavoulos, Paula Abeles, and me.

In the next month we have the opportunity for thousands more to join us. As tensions and hopes rise in the run-up to the August convention there will be confusion, anger, and a growing will to ACTION in the hearts of millions of Democrats around the country who are astonished at how cynically, hypocritically, and flat-out cravenly the DNC and the Obama campaign have tried to play us.

Race-baiting? Check. Class-warfare? Check. Voter suppression? Check. Sexism and misogyny? Check. Voting irregularities? Check. Back room deals? Check. Pandering and purging? Check. Disenfranchisement? Check.

The only entry in the Karl Rove playbook that David Axelrod and Barack Obama have not yet used (but hold onto your hats, folks! It’s a comin’) is outright STEALING of the election.

Our only protection against the Obama Movement’s plan to force this election using any means possible is to MAKE IT TOO HARD TO STEAL. We must stay united in our Protest of the Election or they will seize their opportunity to tip the scales once again. Remember, this is Chicago-style politics. Win at any cost is the mantra. Small “irregularities” that are hard to trace and nearly impossible to prove are the means. In a CLOSE ELECTION they will PLAY THEIR ACE CARD.

If you don’t believe David Axelrod and Barack Obama don’t have both the intention and the means to steal a close election, you haven’t been paying attention. You did watch the elections of 2000 and 2004, right? You do remember that the only reason the Republicans couldn’t steal the 2006 midterms is because for once, for once!, the damn thing was NOT too close to steal. For the first time in a VERY LONG time, the Democratic Party was NOT divided. We were united. We attracted fed-up Republicans. Swing voters supported our candidates by the millions.

And we swept into Congress, state capitols, and Governors’ mansions around the country.

We were UNITED.

The fact that the inept leadership of the DNC had less influence in the individual state elections also helped.

The only way the Democratic Party wins elections is when its coalition members are UNITED.

The Obama campaign DIVIDED the party and they and their Movement Followers comfort themselves with the Hope that they have won the crown.

Every day the realization becomes clearer to them that have lost and that they will lose.

Barack Obama agreed to David Axelrod’s plan to win the battle and lose the war: to ruthlessly split the party in two in order to SEIZE the nomination from the person who had won the hearts and the VOTES of more Democrats in the history of primary campaigns.

Shakespeare anyone?

Hundreds of people ask us if we’re going to Denver. Are we going to march on the convention; demand that Hillary’s delegates are allowed to vote; demand that Hillary Clinton be allowed to deliver a free and honest speech.

Are we going to Denver? You bet your ass we’re going to Denver.

I don’t care if there are only 50 middle-aged women like me standing in the rain with fanny packs and homemade signs. I don’t care if the inept, elitist clowns who have the audacity to believe they in any way deserve to be called leaders continue to pretend to ignore us; continue to attack us like dogs; continue to undermine, ridicule, bully, and harass us. 

Are we going to Denver? Will we be there to witness the final act in the Shakespearean tragedy that Axelrod, Obama, and Dean have staged for us against our will and without our permission?

We wouldn’t miss it for the world.

If you want to go to Denver for front-row seats to the tragedy, pick up your tickets here. We’ll provide a plan, signs, permits, and a film crew. You provide yourself, your fanny pack, your righteous indignation, and your voice.

Donate for Denver if you can. All funds raised will be used to organize Denver. We will buy signs, t-shirts, food and supplies for Pumas to share. We will pay for the cost of filming. All of our work is volunteer. All contributions are not tax-deductible.

few minutes on line, you're actually a republican all along! 

well, that no surprise. 

your millions strong is a really FATT joke. obama leads by a WIDE margin. see that?

BARACK OBAMA RECEIVED A DEEPLY DISCOUNTED INTEREST RATE ON HIS $1.32 MILLION MORTGAGE FROM A POLITICALLY CONNECTED SUB-PRIME LENDING COMPANY, ACCORDING TO THE WASHINGTON POST AND ALL MAJOR NEWS OUTLETS. FROM THE POST ARTICLE:

“‘The real question is: Were congressmen getting unique treatment that others weren’t getting?’ associate law professor Adam J. Levitin, a credit specialist at Georgetown University Law Center, said about the Countrywide loans. ‘Do they do business like that for people who are not congressmen? If they don’t, that’s a problem.’ “. . .

“‘It’s certainly safe to say that this borrower [U.S. Senator Barack Obama] did better than average,’ said Keith Gumbinger, an HSH vice president, noting that consumer rates vary widely. ‘It’s a good deal.”  . . .

“Jumbo loans are for amounts up to $650,000, but the Obamas’ $1.32 million loan was so large that few comparables are available. Mortgage specialists say that many high-end buyers pay cash.” . . .

“Since 1990, Northern Trust employees have donated more than $739,000 to federal campaigns, including $71,000 to Obama, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

“Obama’s house purchase has been a source of controversy. In 2006, the Chicago Tribune reported that on the day of the closing, the wife of Obama’s longtime friend and fundraiser Antoin “Tony” Rezko closed on an adjoining lot that had been the estate’s side yard.

The Obamas bought the house for $300,000 less than the asking price of $1.95 million, while Rezko’s wife, Rita, bought the neighboring lot for the full asking price of $625,000. Rita Rezko later sold a portion of the undeveloped lot to the Obamas, enlarging the senator’s yard.

Tony Rezko already had been linked to a grand jury investigation involving public corruption. Last month, he was convicted of 16 counts in an influence-peddling scheme that reached the highest levels of Illinois state government.”

P.U.M.A. PAC Responds To Malicious Harassment and First Amendment Interference by Obama Supporters

Boston, MA – July 1, 2008

P.U.M.A. PAC, the Voice of the Voters in the Democratic Party, has been the victim of relentless, targeted internet attacks by Senator Obama’s supporters.  In an attempt to silence our voices, we have been the target of a focused campaign of internet harassment, vandalism, slander and technological tampering.

On June 25, 2008, a multitude of false ‘spam blog’ reports, all occurring within one night, triggered Google to LOCK DOWN our Blogspot.com site.  We still have not been able to access the blog or update our members.  It has now been six days that we have had NO ACCESS to our private forum. Our blog is a private forum in which we exercise our First Amendment right to free speech.  We use freely distributed software which is available to everyone, and pay the cost of web-hosting to a third-party internet service provider.  We know by the email addresses and ISP addresses that these attacks were coordinated and carried out by Senator Obama’s supporters. It is a violation of our civil rights for Senator Obama’s supporters to try to prevent us from making public political statements in private forums – forums for which we pay significant costs.

Since June 13, our entry in Wikipedia has been the focus of repeated malicious attacks by Senator Obama’s supporters, who continue to add racist, sexist, and blatantly untrue statements, with the intent of slandering our reputation and infringing on our right to make political statements. Our entry has been repeatedly deleted against our will and in spite of our efforts to protect it.  We know by the email addresses and ISP addresses that these attacks were coordinated and carried out by Senator Obama’s supporters. We have asked Wikipedia to investigate this obvious violation of its policies. Wikipedia has been less than helpful.

P.U.M.A. PAC is the Voice of the Voters. We are a legally established political action committee, protected by the laws and regulations of the Federal Election Commission and the Constitution of the United States. Political dissent is perhaps the most precious of all the rights we are entitled to as American citizens. It is a chilling thought indeed that the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party for the Presidency of the United States, and the sitting Governor of one of our nation’s largest and most influential states would in any way, whether explicitly or implicitly, condone, coordinate, or seek to benefit from the illegal and unconstitutional actions of those un-American citizens who try to silence or intimidate opponents by attacking their right to publicly dissent.

We organize and promote lawful, peaceful, and effective civil action by US citizens.  We never condone or support destructive, violent, or unlawful acts.  We demand that our constitutional and civil rights as citizens be protected and respected by our elected officials.  We call on Senator Obama, Governor Rendell and the leadership of the DNC to denounce those responsible for these malicious attacks on our organization, our property, and our members.  

UPDATE 7/1/08 AT 9:10AM: PUMA PAC IS NOT THE ONLY GROUP TARGETED BY SENATOR OBAMA’S INTERNET THUGS. DOZENS OF OTHERS IN THE JUST SAY NO DEAL COALITION HAVE BEEN TARGETED. ALL OF US ARE VULNERABLE. ALL OF US ARE TRUE GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATIONS AND OFTEN LACK THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND/OR TECHNICAL SKILLS TO PROTECT OURSELVES FROM THESE COORDINATED ATTACKS. IF YOU KNOW OF ANY OTHER GROUP, OR IF YOU YOURSELF, HAVE BEEN THE TARGET OF THESE UNCONSTITUTIONAL ATTACKS, PLEASE TELL US ABOUT IT IN COMMENTS AND EMAIL ME AT MURPHY@PUMAPAC.ORG. THANK YOU TO WILL AND DIANE AT JUST SAY NO DEAL FOR SPEAKING UP AND CONTINUING TO BRAVE THE SEXIST HATEFUL ONSLAUGHT THAT IS DAILY RELEASED BY SENATOR OBAMA’S SUPPORTERS. SENATOR OBAMA CONTINUOUSLY REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ACTIONS OF HIS SUPPORTERS. HE AIMS TO BENEFIT FROM THEIR ACTS WITHOUT EVER ACKNOWLEDGING OR ADMITTING THEM. THIS IS A PATTERN WITH SENATOR OBAMA — ONE WHICH SHOULD GIVE EVEN HIS SUPPORTERS PAUSE.

PRINT OUT THIS LETTER; FAX OR EMAIL IT TO SENATOR OBAMA AND GOVERNOR RENDELL. TELL THEM TO CALL OFF THEIR DOGS!
Senator Barack Obama, Obama for America, P.O. Box 802798, Chicago IL 60680

Fax: (717) 772-8284
UPDATE 7/1/08 AT 12:23PM: Perhaps the thugs are attacking because the nightmares are making them do it. They are now dreaming about what a horrendous mistake they made in selecting such a disastrously unprepared candidate. Like we said the other day to the DNC and the Obama Movement: DREAM ON!

UPDATE 7/1/08 AT 12:36PM: Just received this email from a HOUND Dog who is upset. Thought I’d pass it along:

Despite what you may think Murphy, your Republican coalition is not being targeted
by Obama. You are not the "voice of the voters" and I find it astounding that you
cling to this notion that you are a group of 18 million. haha 

Despite your ideas that the world revolves around you and PUMA, Senator Obama and
Gov. Rendell are not in charge of what others do. It is not their problem if you
can't access your cess pools of ignorance.
You arent going to get anywhere calling Democrats "dogs" because that further
reveals the glaring truism that you are no Democrat. Did you eve get that $500 back
from rape-appeasing McCain? How about your contributions to Al Gore? Oh that's
right- you didn't contribute a thing to him.

You want to talk about "exercising" free speech- yet you censor your site to ONLY
PUMA voters. And you should see how some of your pac behave. My oh my momma cat
would be mighty disappointed. You don't (nor do any of your flock) allow any
objective opinion or thought to cross through your vitriolic echo chamber. 

So please, give it a rest with the hypocrisy.
Deal with it.
You're being exposed more and more each day.
You're GOP attacks are not going swift boat another Democrat.

June 30, 2008 UPDATES

OBAMA SUPPORTERS ATTEMPTING TO SILENCE OPPONENTS WITH ILLEGAL INTERNET VANDALISM

Read this breaking story at the New York Times online about Obama supporters’ successful attempts to squelch political dissent and trample the civil rights of those who oppose him. Puma PAC’s Blogspot site was attacked and shut down by Obama’s supporters on June 25 through today. We are still unable to access our content or even reach anyone at Google (owner of Blogspot) to protect our site. Be sure to leave comments. Read and comment HERE

Our Wikipedia page has been repeatedly hacked, vandalized, and deleted. This is in direct violation of Wikipedia’s policy and philosophy of shared knowledge building and the free-flow of ideas. 

Once again, Senator Obama, his supporters, and the DNC leadership who endorse his candidacy are FAILING to stand up to the thuggish, illegal, and unprincipled behavior of these vandals — destructive and menacing attacks made by so-called progressive Democrats on other Democrats.

Send an email to Sen. Obama, asking him to CALL OFF HIS DOGS! Email him HERE.

PUMA IS ONE MONTH OLD TODAY!

Feels like years doesn’t it? The justifiably famous, and famously kind, blogger SM from The Confluence is the Godmother of the Puma Movement. She is the one who coined the defiantly witty phrase “Party Unity My Ass” at The Confluence on June 1, 2008. The rest, as they say, is history in the making! Read her marvelous post about the birth of Puma HERE. Thank you SM, for your inspiration, support, and endless encouragement.

 

HOUND DOGS ARE BRED TO HUNT

I don’t think the Obama Movement is very happy with us today. Remember, these guys are relentless, unprincipled, and implacable. We are facing an enormous task. The trolling, the intimidation, the bullying, and the harassing IS NOT GOING TO STOP. Today in the parking lot of my local grocery store I was harassed and insulted by a condescending blowhard who had absolutely NO QUALMS about yelling at me in public when I was alone with my 7 year old. Not because he had any idea that I’m associated with Puma PAC — simply because of the Hillary Clinton bumper sticker on my goofy old minivan. No big deal, right? WRONG. It IS a big deal. Obama has lost the election already. His followers are not ready to accept that, however, and MANY of them are angry. Our greatest strength is in numbers, so PLEASE — spread the word. There is safety and strength in numbers. Talk to your friends and family about the ugly turn the Obama Movement is taking.

Harassing women in grocery store parking lots?

Deleting wikipedia pages?

Spray-painting cars?

Shutting down websites?

This must stop. Ask five friends and family members to join Puma PAC today so that we can stand up to these THUGS together. JOIN HERE.

H.O.U.N.D. — Help Obama Undermine our Nation’s Democracy!

Are you tired of coalition democracy? Do you believe that “win at any cost” should be the motto of our top candidates? Do you love it when allies attack their own? Don’t you think it’s hilarious when blanket accusations of racism against regular voters work to undermine one candidate? Were you thrilled to watch the national party disenfranchise millions of voters because they favored one candidate? Wasn’t it just GREAT when they stole 4 delegates from one senator, gave them to their pet, and then justified their decision with media exit polls? Isn’t awesome that we are now allowed to ridicule women candidates and women voters on national TV and the internet by calling them castraters, bitches, ugly, fat, old, stupid, and hormonal!?!

Do you love it when politicians use empty promises, shallow slogans, network marketing, corporate bundling, and astroturfing to create a mirage of political viability? Do you spend your nights trolling other people’s websites posting hateful insults, threats, and condescending postures masquerading as deep political insight?

Then YOU, my friend, are a HOUND DOG! Welcome to our Movement. We offer HOPE to CHANGE the Democratic Party and our nation! We will replace secret ballots with public caucuses! We will use our mighty internet skills to shut down, deface, and discredit all who dissent or oppose our Great Cause! We will offer you candidates who make you faint; who make you forget your rational thinking skills; who make you forget that decent politicians and great leaders inspire citizens with their competence, experience, and vision for ALL Americans. In place of these old, useless values, we will give you candidates who inspire with Platitude, Attitude, and Purges!

Join us in this mission. Together we CAN change the system so that it works only for the few. Together we CAN excise the old, the poor, the sick, the vulnerable, and the “different” from our Pure Movement. We will be a coalition of healthy, young, affluent, urban, and damn good-looking people who think EXACTLY LIKE YOU!

Join H.O.U.N.D. today so we can start the work of undermining democracy in America from coast to coast this summer! Are you shocked at our Audacity? Are you amazed at the scope of our Great undertaking? Do you have doubts that we can accomplish all we have set out to do? Well, worry no more my friend. YOU are the change. YOU will be part of our Great H.O.U.N.D. Movement, and to the doubters who don’t believe we can actually inflict as much damage on the nation as we intend, we have one simple answer: YES, WE CAN!

Oh, and give me five dollars.
