It comes as no surprise that The New York Times is endorsing Obama for President.

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/24/opinion/24fri1.html?_r=1&ref=opinion&oref=slogin

“As tough as the times are, the selection of a new president is easy. After nearly two years of a grueling and ugly campaign, Senator Barack Obama of Illinois has proved that he is the right choice to be the 44th president of the United States.”  “Mr. McCain, whom we chose as the best Republican nominee in the primaries, has spent the last coins of his reputation for principle and sound judgment to placate the limitless demands and narrow vision of the far-right wing,” it said.

It is almost laughable that readers of the NY Times, didn’t already know that the paper itself, its editors and journalist are all biased against John McCain and have supported Obama from the first days he announced his candidacy.  Just this week the company, reported a 16 percent drop in advertising revenue at its news media group, also said it might write down as much as $150 million at its New England operations, underscoring the dismal state of newspaper advertising.  It isn’t just dismal advertising dollars, readers have already gotten the news dismal news somewhere else long before the New York Times comes out.  Between the net and TV, the pubic who might care about an issue finds stories everywhere else but in national newspapers.

In the case of The Wall Street Journal http://online.wsj.com/public/us , readers do manage to get features that are related to Wall Street and the finance industry. News articles, are in fact news and editorial opinions are found in the editorial section. 

If there are any undecided voters out there, certainly an endorsement of either candidate by The New York Times is not going to make a difference with less than two weeks to go until the election.  If you are still undecided, I suggest you do not vote.  http://news.aol.com/political-machine/2008/10/16/the-myth-of-the-undecideds/ Americans have endured two years of this getting to know the candidate through every means necessary.  Town Halls Meetings, debates, campaign ads, interviews, the web, blogs, etc.   I know enough that I question every reform platform and motive Obama has.  As a duly registered voter, I also question McCain’s policies and prior voting records but what I do not question is is his motive.  To both Obama and McCain, I question why 40% of workers do not qualify to pay taxes in the first place and why?   http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/oct/13/obama-tax-cut-refunds-those-who-dont-pay/ 

http://www.thebostonchannel.com/presidential-race/index.html is a reasonable place to compare the candidates. 

Educated voters by now have heard more than enough to make an educated decision in the voting booth.   In the long run, The Times have done its audience a favor in clearly labeling itself the slanted liberal paper the rest of us always knew it to be.

Most Voters Say News Media Wants Obama to Win. No shit? 

http://people-press.org/report/463/media-wants-obama  Voters overwhelmingly believe that the media wants Barack Obama to win the presidential election. By a margin of 70%-9%, Americans say most journalists want to see Obama, not John McCain, win on Nov. 4. Another 8% say journalists don’t favor either candidate, and 13% say they don’t know which candidate most reporters support.

October 22, 2008) “Andy Martin told a Honolulu news conference today that after an intense international investigation he is convinced that Barack Obama, Junior, the presidential candidate is really the son of Obama’s controversial mentor Frank Marshall Davis.”
  http://contrariancommentary.blogspot.com/

Oddly enough, buried in the My Obama blogs for President we find Mark Davis.  Mark Davis ” is the son of “Frank” (Frank Marshall Davis), mentioned in “Dreams From My Father,” defending against right-wing disinformation (red-baiting) campaign. I was born at 5:31 PM on November 9, 1950, at Kapiolani Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii. Frank Marshall Davis is listed as my father, and Helen Canfield Davis is listed as my mother, on my birth certificate. http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/blog/Kaleokualoha  Is Mark Davis Obama’s half brother???? 

Well batman, this is sure a stretch that isn’t going away but it isn’t going to be mainstream media news either.  It is being picked up on other blogs like http://astuteblogger.blogspot.com/2008/09/obamas-real-father-connecting-dots.html where a headline also asks of OBAMA’S TRUE PARENTAGE: IS BARACK OBAMA REALLY THE BIOLOGICAL SON OF FRANK MARSHALL DAVIS? 

Comments on his websites “[Andy Martin] has also been described by state psychiatrists of “moderately severe character defect manifested by well-documented ideation with a paranoid flavor and a grandiose character.” and “Martin has been labeled a vexatious litigant by numerous federal and state courts. As early as 1982, Edward Weinfeld, a federal judge for the Southern District of New York, observed that he had a tendency to file “a substantial number of lawsuits of a vexatious, frivolous and scandalous.  Maybe the comments are true enough and mybe he has filed some odd things in his life,but requesting the courts release of Obama’s was deserving filed.

 http://polarik.blogtownhall.com/2008/06/28/why_the_certificate_no_on_obamas_bogus_bc_is_blacked_out.thtml has gotten into the fray asking about why the numbers are blocked out. 

http://www.aim.org/aim-column/obamas-communist-mentor/ goes into detail about Obama’s relationship with Frank Marshall Davis and the influence he has had in his life.  The article cites a quote “Marx once compared revolutionary struggle with the work of the mole, who sometimes burrows so far beneath the ground that he leaves no trace of his movement on the surface. This is the old revolutionary ‘mole,’ not only showing his traces on the surface but also breaking through.”

One thing for sure, there are sure a lot of people in the blogosphere who question where Obama came from, his connections, and what his actions will mean for America.  Barring being the son of an alien, even if Obama’s dad by a long shot is Frank Marshall Davis, that still makes him eligible.  Mickey Mouse was eligible to vote at one point too- thanks to ACORN. 

That One could just put it all to rest by picking up and releasing his birth certificate when he is Hawaii this week, now couldn’t he?

Supreme Court Refuses to Order Release of Obama’s Original Birth Certificate

Plaintiff Andy Martin filed in the CIRCUIT COURT OF THE FIRST CIRCUIT, STATE OF HAWAII – CIVIL NUMBER: 08-1-2147-10 against Defendants LINDA LINGLE, in her Official capacity as Governor Of the State of Hawaii requesting an original copy of Obama’s birth certificate.  “Omaha’s refused to release personal documents including his birth certificate, leading to suspicion among some voters that he’s covering up his true place of birth out of country.” http://www.hawaiireporter.com/story.aspx?540ca50a-154d-4000-bf5e-ce03204a3f5a 

Reading the three page opinion, it seems clear that the Honorable Judges believe that releasing Obama’s birth certificate was not mandatory and that the person filing the claim has no direct and tangible interest in the record. 

The Supreme Court of Hawaii honestly believes that one person- on behalf of all voters, doesn’t have a vested interest in seeing Obama’s birth certificate and not birth record?  Little old me in butt nutt, Wherever State, USA has a right to see Obama’s original birth certificate before election day-  even without filing a lawsuit. 

Perhaps the original legal brief was written poorly.  Andy Martin may have sought demands above the laws and limits of the court.  The court did outline a means by which there are exemptions to releasing documents like birth certificates to persons of interest.

There must be one citizen in the state of Hawaii that can file a brief to the courts that asks for relief with in the laws to get the birth certificate,  even if it is after the election. 

The person of interest in seeing his own Birth Certificate should be Obama himself.  Obama is travelling to Hawaii to see his aling grandmother today.  While he is there he should get in a limo, tv crew in tow, go to the wherever Birth Certificates are stored, and pay to get his original birth certificate all while the media is watching.  He should hold it up to the camera, next to his handsome little face and say either- Look all you assholes, I was born in America so shut the frig up or oh, Shit- it looks like I wasn’t born here after all. 

His mother was born in Kansas so what’s the problem?   I think that still makes him eligible to run as President-but, where is the proof that she is even his mother without a birth certificate. 

Be done with it Obama.

Berg vs Obama has been filed for two months tomorrow, maybe we can get a resolution to seeing Obama’s birth certificate and answers to the 56 questions he has for Obama regarding his citizenship.

America had better be ready to vote.  Common Cause believes some voting systems will fail through out the US,  but who know where.  Common cause is probably correct as we have already heard evidence of distress in voting in the news.  It may not always be easy to vote, but you have to.  How many people have fought and died to give you the right to vote?  http://icasualties.org/oif/ lists over 4000 US Service personnel in Iraq alone.  Americans do not die in vein.  We support our troops and we vote.

Every state and more especially the Federal Election Committee – should be vigilant to the degree that the process doesn’t interfere with the right of an eligible citizen to vote or cause any innacurracies in counting the vote.  As in the case with Mickey Mouse who ACORN registered to vote, one would hope that he is ineligible. 

The report was made possible by financial support of The John Merck Fund, The Bullit Foundation, The Carnegie Corporation, The Charles H. Revson Foundations, Community Funds, Inc., The Educational Foundation of America, The Ford Foundation, The Irving Harris Foundations, JEHT Foundation, THE JOYCE FOUNDATION, The Mitchell Kapor Foundation, The Open Society Institute, The Proteus Fund, The Quixote Foundation, The Rockefeller Family Fund, The Tides Foundation, and The Wallace Global Fund– as stated from the report. 

Is there a line between Obama and ACORN  during the period of Obama’s service on the boards of two charitable foundations, the Woods Fund and the Joyce Foundation? http://bokertov.typepad.com/btb/2008/10/obama-acorn.html .  http://conspiracyrealitytv.com/hijacking-humanity-chapter-2-its-a-rich-mans-world-government/ has a thing or two to say about benefactors like Rocakafeller and others.

We have to question everything, even who is paying for a simple report.

http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/ has a tidy list of some of Obama’s other associates.

 NBC News and the group Election Protection are partnering up on election day to provide Americans with a completely slanted, liberal, Obama supporting socialitstic “spread the wealth around” view of Election Day news coverage.  

http://www.866ourvote.org/newsroom/press-releases?id=0026 “With less than 14 days before Election Day, NBC News and Election Protection will be joining forces to help voters ensure that their vote will count. The news leader and the nation’s largest nonpartisan voter protection coalition will work together to promote the 1-866-OUR-VOTEHotline and http://www.866ourvote.org [sic-  http://www.866ourvote.org./ ] website so that voters can receive live assistance if they encounter problems, and access the information before they head to the polls now through Election Day.

(Jonah) “Goldman along with Barbara Arnwine and John Strasburger will offer regular updates on the “state of voting”, share their expert opinions on the voting issues dominating news headlines, and provide insight and advice for how voters and lawmakers can minimize the barriers voters face when registering and casting a ballot. ….Election Protection has more than 100 partners at the national, state and local level and is providing live voter protection services now through Election Day across all 50 states. On November 4, Election Protection will mobilize tens of thousands of volunteers, including 10,000 legal volunteers to monitor polling places, educate voters, facilitate a dialogue .”  A dialogue with Obama supporters leading the way.

100 Parners all for the most part support the platform of Senator Barack Hussein Obama for President.  The ACLU is one of those partners.   Roger Baldwin, the founder and main inspiration in the ACLU said  “I am for Socialism, disarmament, and ultimately for abolishing the state itself as an instrument of violence and compulsion. I seek social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class, and sole control by those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal. It all sums up into one single purpose-the abolition of dog-eat-dog under which we live.” http://www.stoptheaclu.com/archives/2005/10/26/the-aclu-is-not-non-partisan/ 

NBC wants the American public to believe that Barbara Arnwine and John Strasburger are going to offfer unbiased news reporting, I don’t think so.  In her interview with Essence, Arnwine stressed that the law is especially important to African Americans. “It defines who we are much more than it does anybody else,” she said. “We’re not all equal under the Constitution. Our equality hinges on three amendments, and the court is constantly amending the import of those amendments. It’s constantly in flux.” http://www.answers.com/topic/barbara-arnwine She has openly criticized the civil rights record of the Bush and Reagan administrations.   To think that the law is more important to African Americans than white Americans is quite a statement. 

Election Partners is a who’s who of organizations that support Obama.  Main Stream NBC is hardly unbiased and like Obama’s other associations with people of character like The Reverend Wright, William Ayers, Atoin Tony Rezko, ACORN, put the liberal reform agenda for government handouts first and foremost.

    Over the years, ACORN http://www.acorn.org/groups have registered more than 4 million voters. One would think it should be good news to have so many new voters in the Presidential Election.  Mickey Mouse will be voting for Obama- I think.

    By now we know that when authorities in various states checked ACORN registrations, they found many fraudulent registrants with problems like no known address, the person was deceased, or had multiple registrations.   The usually reliable, Associated Press reported that the FBI is investigating whether the community activist group ACORN is engaging in a nationwide election fraud conspiracy. Specifically, they are reportedly examining evidence that there was a coordinated state-by-state effort to engage in voter registration fraud.  That seems fair- investigate ACORN, what could be wrong with that?  http://opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110009189 The Wall Street journal wrote about ACORN indictments back in 2006 so why would The ACLU and Obama seems to have a problem with investigating voter fraud again especially ACORN, with it’s multi decade history of fraud?  http://www.consumersrightsleague.org/uploadedfiles/Latest%20Million%20Dollar%20ACORN%20Scandal.pdf 

    http://www.aclu.org/votingrights/gen/37226prs20081017.html  The ACLU believes that the DOJ should protect voting rights and not suppress them. In a recent press release it said, Oct 17, 2008-“WASHINGTON – In response to news reports that the FBI has initiated an investigation into whether the community group ACORN has committed voter fraud in its voter registration drive, the American Civil Liberties Union urges the government to stop engaging in partisan probes that could cast a chilling effect on voter participation. The Department of Justice should focus instead on the true threat to the elections this November – the widespread possibility that millions of voters could be disfranchised through voter suppression schemes such as unlawful purging and racially motivated voter intimidation.”  According this this, the FBI a government agency is partisan?  I think it might just be the ACLU that is partisan in getting Obama elected. 

     

    http://stopacorn.org/ is a pretty good starting place to learn about some of ACORN’s antics, although some of the blogger llinks can appear a little nutty and extreme- even more so than here at Ahrcanum.

    Maybe for just a minute it appears that disputing ACORN is all about Republican’s crying the tears blue seeing how candidate, John McCain is trailing in so many voter polls.  You bet McCain is pissed.  McCain is loosing in the polls (for now)  but what ACORN is actually about, is what appears to look like is voter fraud on a massive scale.  Obama for America has filed a letter from their general council- Robert Bauer, esq., to the Attorney General’s Office stating that “the law enforcement process is a political agenda.” http://www.politico.com/static/PPM106_obama_doj_letter.html  bringing up Bush’s removal of nine US Attorney’s in 2006 in a politically charged investigation.  Clinton fired attorneys.  Bush fired attorney’s.  Get over it. 

    Hillary Clinton might be having something to say about ACORN too, as Obama pretty much stold the nomination from what rightfully should have been hers- had all the delegates been accounted for in Michigan and Florida. 

    Should Obama win by a huge margin, a few 3 or 4 million votes won’t matter and he will become President of The Land.  Even after calling a winner on November 4th, or November 5th, or November 6th, or whenever- ACORN must be held accountable and so should Obama who accepted donations from them and certainly profited greatly. 

    Human Events, believes that :  “Congress must be called back into session immediately and emergency legislation must be passed that simply states that voters must produce a valid state or federal ID at the polls or have their votes counted only provisionally until legitimacy can be verified..”  http://www.humanevents.com/index.php?loadhome=true   Longtime civil rights activist Al Sharpton, who has called for investigations into voter registration fraud as well as voter intimidation and disenfranchisement warning that fraud “must be stopped before votes are counted or cast.”   http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=29132 

    Imagine if we had a national id program?  What of Obama’s strong support of giving illegal aliens in America driver’s licenses? What if no one investigates?

    In Youngstown, Ohiohttp://www.vindy.com/ Rudy Giuliani professed his support in a rally for McCain for President.  This is a man who is prepared to be president,” Giuliani said of his “old friend.”  October 21, 2008. 

    Not that he isn’t looking for a job –like Attorney General maybe –but he brought up good points about election polling.  Polls had Kerry winning on the day of the election but that didn’t quite pan out and he enumerated that voters should not be dismayed into believing the trends.  Trends that are especially slanted after Obama pulled in millions of dollars that are completely untraceable.  Oh, except those dollars from Obama’s biggest contributor-to date, it is William Budinger, http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/search.php?cid=N00009638&name=&employ=&state=%28all%29&zip=%28any+zip%29&submit=OK&amt=a&sort=A  to the tune of $30,800.  William Budinger is listed as an active Trustee for the Aspen Institute, http://www.aspeninstitute.org/site/c.huLWJeMRKpH/b.1096989/k.C19/Senator_Barack_Obama_and_Walter_Isaacson.html  a primarily list of the who’s who of democrats who’s mission is to promote and  “encouraging individuals to reflect on the ideals and ideas that define a good society.” 

    Good Society?  WTF?  Can one see the Socialism and related practices of Marxism behind the Aspen Institute?  Take profits and spread them around!  Redistribute the wealth!  Forget about Ayers, and the whole alleged Muslim cover up, The Aspen Institute is nothing short of a profiteering capitalistic, self centered, socialistic group that prides itself on diversity and wants to see Obama as President.  On the board of Trustees for The Aspen Institute sits http://www.aspeninstitute.org/site/c.huLWJeMRKpH/b.612063/k.AE55/Board_of_Trustees.htm Prince Bandar bin Sultan
    Former Saudi Ambassador to the United States.  Prince Bandar bin Sultan and the House of Saud have a vested interest in seeing Obama elected. Obama’s foreign policy leaves much to be desired, much to be manipulated, and much to be capitalized on by foreign entities and countries like Saudi Arabia who are actually our supposed Allies.

    Long and short— Rudy Giuliani is a great leader but voters decided he would not make a great President.  Giuliani in his support for john McCain for President offers us insight to why he supports his country first and John McCain to be its leader, second.  So should you.  Vote McCain.

    The Federal Election Commission Friday[9-8-08] approved payment of $84.1 million in federal funds for the general election campaign of John McCain and Sarah Palin…. In that letter the candidates agreed to abide by the overall spending limit (there are no state-by-state limits) and to other legal requirements, including a post-campaign audit.  Presidential candidates accepting the federal payment are subject to a spending limit of $84.1 million, the amount of the payment, plus a combined personal spending limit of $50,000 from their personal funds.Additional funds may be raised, subject to the limits and prohibitions of the Federal Election Campaign Act, for legal and accounting expenses. http://www.fec.gov/press/press2008/20080908cert.shtml

    Obama opted out and has significantly received more donations than McCain.  I wonder, if in part, the reason he chose not to accept federal funds was to avoid some of the legal requirements and possibly to avoid an audit.

    Obama’s largest contributors to date is William Budinger to the tune of $30,800.  http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/search.php?cid=N00009638&name=&employ=&state=%28all%29&zip=%28any+zip%29&submit=OK&amt=a&sort=A 

    Who is William Budinger? William Budinger is listed as an active Trusee for the Aspen Institute, his time is now spent helping the Rodel Foundation pursue its education reform objectives.  What are exactly are those objectives, I wonder.  http://www.rodelfoundations.org/aspen.shtml  Foundation recipients are lucky enough to attend “week-long seminars in both China and the Middle East where Fellows will meet with regional leaders and learn about the challenges and opportunities those areas pose for the future of America.”

    A Conversation with Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) and Aspen Institute President Walter Isaacson,

    http://www.aspeninstitute.org/site/c.huLWJeMRKpH/b.1096989/k.C19/Senator_Barack_Obama_and_Walter_Isaacson.htm

    From Obama own lips speaking at the Aspen Institute, “Abortion is an issue that is very difficult to compromise on because people feel very deeply about these issues. And if you believe that abortion is murder, then it’s hard to say, “Well, I’ll admit murder in some circumstances.” You feel that you have to go all the way and fight as hard as you can.”

    What is more controversial than Obama’s stance on partial birth abortions? http://www.abortionfacts.com/online_books/love_them_both/why_cant_we_love_them_both_18.asp#partial%20birth%20abortion  His wife Michelle is right in his shadow.  “In February 2004, his wife, Michelle, sent out a fundraising letter, which actually stated her concern over the rise of conservatism in the Country, and that the ‘so-called’ partial-birth abortion was a legitimate medical procedure that should be protected.” http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/77500/barack_hussein_obama_jr_defends_partialbirth.html?cat=9   And, Barack Obama said on July 17th, 2007: “The first thing I’d do as president is sign the Freedom of Choice Act. That’s the first thing that I’d do.” It will require that the taxpayer fund abortions and remove restrictions on abortion.  You can’t give a kid an aspirin from the school nurse without restrictions and yet, abortion will have little restrictions. 

    Getting back to Isaacson -CNN, the network he headed during the Iraq War coverage, he is quoted as saying, “Walter Isaacson, who headed CNN, observes, “The people at Knight Ridder were calling the colonels and the lieutenants and the people in the CIA and finding out, you know, that the intelligence is not very good. We should’ve all been doing that.” If Issacson knew there was some questionable intelligence CNN didn’t report it or question it- Did they?

    From its site, “The Aspen Institute mission is two fold: to foster values-based leadership, encouraging individuals to reflect on the ideals and ideas that define a good society, and to provide a neutral and balanced venue for discussing and acting on critical issues.  http://www.aspeninstitute.org/site/c.huLWJeMRKpH/b.493947/k.7AC3/About_the_Aspen_Institute.htm

    The Aspen Institute lists Harvard graduated Walter Isaacson as its current President & CEO.   http://www.aspeninstitute.org/site/c.huLWJeMRKpH/b.2253415/k.5A1D/About_Walter_Isaacson.htm Walter Isaacson, the president of the Aspen Institute, is the former managing editor of Time and chairman of CNN and the author of biographies of Henry Kissinger, Benjamin Franklin, and Albert Einstein. 

    William E. Mayer is the Chairman of The Board for the Aspen Group with a pretty good resume dotted with being a Senior Partner of Park Avenue Equity Partners, to Credit Suisse, a trustee of the Columbia Group of Mutual Funds, a board member of the Acumen Fund, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and Vice Chairman of the Middle East Investment Initiative. http://www.aspeninstitute.org/site/c.huLWJeMRKpH/b.612715/k.960D/William_E_Mayer.htm

    Surprisingly William Mayer he has supported John McCain by making campaign contributions to him.  Oops, he had to take some back.  ANYONE KNOW WHY?

    Why is the contribution to John McCain by William E. Mayer shown as being returned?  It is because he is linked to tightly with the liberal Aspen Institute and was pressured into doing so?  Did William E. Mayer violate campaign laws?  Did he over extend himself and the checks bounced?  Did McCain stamp the envelope with return to sender?

    On the Board of Directors at The Aspen we find some notable names like, Henry E. Catto, Madeleine K. Albright, and Leonard A. Lauder.  What brand of Lipstick does Sarah Palin wear? Also David Gergen, Robert K. Steel of Wachovia, Roderick von Lipsey USB Financial Services, Frederick B. Whittemore Morgan Stanley, Sidney Harman of Harmon Ind., but the name that really caught my eye besides well known Henry A. Kissinger, being Chairman of Kissinger Associates, Inc.,  was Prince Bandar bin Sultan-Former Saudi Ambassador to the United States. 

    Prince Bandar bin Sultan in the past, has had loyalties to Bush, but not Sultan is not with out controversy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandar_bin_Sultan  There were rumors that Prince Bandar bin Sultan was told of the plan to invade Iraq ahead of notifying Secretary of State Colin Powell.  Did Colin Powell’s feeling get hurt, and the reason he is now endorsing Obama and getting even with the Republican Party? 

    Interestedly enough, Prince Bandar bin Sultan has a home larger that The White House, in where?  You guessed it, Aspen, Colorado, USA. Called The Halla Ranch http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandar_bin_Sultan  http://www.christiesgreatestates.com   has it listed for sale.  Since 9-11, Prince Bandar bin Sultan no longer visits as often.  The Halla Ranch home has 15 bedrooms, but in his defense he has 8 children, so I can actually see that for such an honored dignitary.

    McCain wants to know where Obama’s money is coming from and so do I.  We know all about William Budinger donation but “There’s $200 million of those campaign contributions – there’s no record. They’re not reported. You can report online now, $200 million, that we don’t know where the money came from. A lot of strange things going on in this campaign,” McCain said. “The American people should know where every penny came from. They know where every penny of my campaign contributions came from.”  http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2008/10/19/politics/fromtheroad/entry4531269.shtml

    The Company that you keep, the words you speak, and your current and past associations sure says a lot about you Mr. Obama.  I hear on Howie Mandel’s, new game show, Deal or No Deal, “show me the money”  from contestants.  Well Mr. Obama who has no birth certificate and has 56 other citizenship questions pending for him in the Berg vs Obama, and the DNC et al pending lawsuit, SHOW ME THE MONEY.
