Heart Doesn't "Heart" McCain

By thePoliticalCarnival


These guys are just so freaking clueless. Do they have anyone that has actually ran a campaign before? Add Heart to the list of Chuck Berry, John Mellancamp and Van Hagar.

Ann and Nancy Wilson are pissed at the Republican Party and have fired off a cease and desist letter to the McCain/Palin campaign.

Specifically, the Heart women are upset that the GOP has used their classic "Barracuda" as a theme song for Sarah Palin. TMZ obtained a statement from Heart's rep, who says "The Republican campaign did not ask for permission to use the song, nor would they have been granted that permission."

The statement goes on: "We have asked the Republican campaign publicly not to use our music. We hope our wishes will be honored."

UPDATE: Twenty minutes after we posted this story, the GOP ended the evening after McCain's speech with the song, "Barracuda."

Worldwide, more than 75

Worldwide, more than 75 percent of all adult HIV infections result from heterosexual intercourse.

-- Quinn, T. Global burden of the HIV pandemic. Lancet 1996;348:99-106.

Heterosexual transmission accounts for an increasing proportion of AIDS cases in the United States. From 1985 to 1995, the proportion of U.S. AIDS cases attributed to heterosexual transmission grew from 2.5 percent to 15.1 percent

-- Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention: Surveillance Branch, Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention, National Center for HIV Infection, STD, and TB Prevention. Unpublished data, March 1997.

Wow, so worldwide most AIDS infections come from heterosexual sex, and in the US the percent is increasing dramatically, just like I said.

Now what was that you were saying about "just what we lefties wish"? Sorry, but once again the FACTS prove you to be a liar. (note - without a citation it's just an "opinion". That's why I provided citations)

-- McCain = Four more years of the same --
