Way to go, Rio!
Whatever your political affiliation, this is one of the best (i.e. most accurate) news headlines I have ever seen:
l have never been to Rio de Janeiro (but wanted to ever since that hilarious "Blame it on Rio" movie).
Sounds like a party in Brazil, baby.
Perhaps our president can return to more important concerns.

Sarah Palin Rocks
If you had been slandered, personally attacked without remorse, vilified as a human being in the most hypocritical way.
If your life, your family was open to attack and ridicule, no second guessing at the other party, eh?
I like this woman.
Take your current, absolute liar to the grave, because there is where his ego is exactly placing you.
34-C? We conservatives like to err on the side of "wow."

Split Image (or Where has my money gone?)
Notwithstanding the plummeting value of this piece of green paper, still a pretty original photograph. Wonder how many tries it took to get the White House to line up exactly right with this bill I was almost certain I had two of in my wallet (suddenly because a ten and a five).

Laser Beams and Rhapsodical Musings
I have always loved lasers, but never had one.
Maybe Apple will produce an iPod with option phaser/laser someday, complete with "stun the Federal spending" capability if aimed at certain politicians cramming Marxism down our throats.
Experiments are close to successfully fusing hydrogen atoms in a controlled environment with laser technology. I say "close" with respect to realizing Kitty Hawk was not that long ago. But think about the implications of nuclear fusion, virtual limitless energy, on our world.
It is a race to reaching a world of free energy for everyone, versus nations and politics and propriety over national power, frenzied religious jihads, government control over liberty in the US and then the globe based upon leverage over current industry - a thousand fallible weaknesses in man's vanity at the helm of an out-of-control ice sled careening down a glacial slope amazingly unmelted by man's contribution to the global warming fraud.
All those themes intertwine in hapless contrast of disorganization of Obama's lust to control every fabric of our lives to the finely-tuned orchestration of photons.
Physics versus man's continual abuse of power, which even in the country that is discovering new marvels, Marxist mistakes of old threaten to reduce us, as the sheep we seem to be, back into the foster care of Orwellian, bleak, surrender.
I've grown to the age of awareness such that I cannot marvel and appreciate human advance in areas like science without immediately observing it may be the final breath of a free society's ability to achieve genuine improvement. Because what I am seeing in the United States now, with the world in tow before it whiplashes us, is the product of a generation of dumbing down, and the willing sacrifice of liberty by a majority who are simply too stupid to know what they are doing.
Yet a scientific breakthrough may be what is necessary to shake things up enough to wipe out the grapple of political institutions digging into our flesh. But only if we get it first. If the West or USA does not make the next leap forward, it's all over, which it may be anyway through our incredible national penchant for internal disintegration.
Or dilly-dallying over the hubris of thinking government controls can act like a thermostat upon the earth, measurable in nanoseconds of time otherwise known as mere decades dedicated to the foolish.
Beam me up Scotty. There's no intelligent life down here. But a cool laser nonetheless.

National Bankruptcy
Guess where it's coming from?
Every gallon of gas.
Every ounce of orange juice.
Every flick of underwear.
Every electric bill.
Every lunch, dinner, spare breakfast.
No matching co-pay for health insurance.
No proper hospital care if you feel something wrong in your body.
Every toy car that will kill your kid, to save the planet from a myth.
Every cup of coffee.
Every time you swipe a credit card.
Every trip to the cleaners, optometrist, haircut.
I try not to scare you.
I try to soothe what must even to the most die-hard liberals, what has become more than a slight worry.
Income redistribution baby.
Government is great. If you talk into a teleprompter and avoid the word "socialism" in favor of,
"We will not go back to the failed policies of the past. Our common future requires investment."
Lap it up. Then allow an 8 month old baby to die on a cold floor. It's a gay man's right to choose.
Or excoriate Miss California. Yes, let's trash her for holding an opinion.
Our national debt is 11.2 trillion dollars. Let me spell that out for you:
$11,200,000,000,000
Eleven thousand, billion dollars.
This is insane.
It is not coming from nowhere. This government has just sent the United States into horror, and he is only getting started.
"America is not about Christianity, or Judaism, or Islam. We are a country founded on values."
I'm not even ranting. I am just aghast. I have to say something. I have to hope that anyone who reads this with a disbelieving eye will simply look at the facts. That is all I ask.
One year from now, every single item you buy will cost twice as much as it does now.
Two years from now, it will cost five times as much.
And you will have less to buy it with, IF you still have a job.
Wow, did I just criticize the president? I mean Jesus Christ?
Look at him turn his chin up into the light. Ignore the slobberings of Katie Couric and Diane Sawyer.
Fair and rigid journalism is what this country was founded upon.

Joe Biden is such a duffass.

Give Me a Break
Oh my God.
Hey, dems. We can agree to disagree about everything from socialism to global warming.
You may desire institutional government control over every aspect of your life.
I do not.
However - when it comes to the terrifying prospect if any harm comes to Obama.
We have the clown, buffoon, Biden next in line.
And after him - this witch.
The word "appalling" should be dredged out once in a lifetime.
Nancy Pelosi is appalling.

Way to Go Sarah
This whole Miss California thing has people outraged that she is shoving Christianity down everyone's throat in a hypocritical, homophobic assumption of superiority.
Give me a break. Which agenda is shoving what down whose throat lately? Carrie Prejean expressed her opinion. She has a foundation for her belief about marriage, and when asked, stated it.
Now after weeks of being crucified for the gall of stating it - she is finally getting a little support in fairness from Donald Trump and now Sarah Palin.
is exactly what it is, in the ten thousandth form in one hundred days. Since when did ultra-left become "the center" (despite every poll) and any reasonably grounded opinion turn into "right-wing radical?"
Here is when: CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, PBS, BBC, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, USA Today, (must stop before running out of blog space).
I for one am unconcerned if you agree with me or not. Tired of cowering under the crushingly humiliating moniker of "white conservative male."
We need our country back, before it is ruined past recovery.

C-Span Rocks
Amid the noise and haste, I like on Sundays to tune to C-Span 2's "Book TV."
Most of the speakers are impressive for good reason. It is educational, instructional, a pleasant diversion that offers the mind glimpses into insights maybe formerly not considered.
Sometimes a person will say things I do not agree with. When that happens, I like to examine why the person is saying something I oppose.
Most of the time, their stories stem from personal experience and dedication to something, the reach for a goal that matters to them - and the insight is hardly ever found wanting.

Some Spell it "Czar," some "Tsar," but not "Star"
What's with all the czars lately?
Is there not enough harkening back to russian totalitarian terms around here? Now we have nine appointed "czars" from Washington to supervise various degrees of government control?
That is not hype. That is a fact. I've even seen it written "tsars" before, which reminds me of the Romanov family dynasty.
A little too much executive control going on, thank you. Slightly reckless.

Now North Korea Has Gone Too Far
One thing I left out in my recent diatribe against our non-reaction to North Korea's missile launch while their people are starving.
Look at those Brady Bunch orange chairs man.
It just doesn't get any more awful.
April 5, 2009
I Have Just About Had it with North Korea
These backward ass wannabes have crossed a reckless line and we had better start paying attention.
As much as the United States has on its plate, we cannot ignore this.
I am telling you right now, wipe them out.
North Korea is a wretched excuse for a country, complete with tinpot dictator, owns hydrogen bombs and now the means to deliver them.
Merciless government, starving population, so backward as to be completely overlooked by the world, and of course, defiant like a spoiled two year-old brat.
The most dangerous kind.
Here is the official statement on behalf of Kim "I'm not Jill."
The Taepodong-2 missile, launched from the Musudan-ri base on their northeastern coast, successfully put into orbit a civilian satellite that transmitted scientific data and serenaded the heavens with songs of praise for dictator Kim Jong-il and his late father and predecessor, Kim Il-sung.
Are you kidding me? "serenaded the heavens with songs of praise?"
If that does not shock you, it should.
Folks, I am not making this up. In this day and age, that kind of propaganda is exactly taking place over there.
I know our president has threatened to take it to the United Nations. But sorry Mr. Obama, with or without your teleprompter while the press fall all over themselves to loft you into deity status.
By all means, pass a resolution.
Mr. President, you are 47 years old, a product of a Chicago cabal and enthusiastic dumbness of mesmerized masses with a willing media, tossing away trillions of dollars to expand the grasp of a benevolent totalitarian monarchy yet even as this moment of supreme, divine Godhood, you have no clue what scares birds ouside your window.
Quite frankly, I think you are in over your head.
Have you ever seen a satellite photograph of the Korean peninsula at night?
<--- this is not a joke. I am not playing with photoshop.
China to the left, Japan to the right, Seoul and South Korea in the bottom middle, and North Korea is DARK.
They are literally in the freaking dark.
People there are starving, eating radishes. Brainwashed.
I thought Japan would not allow the rocket launch, or us. That's two chicken livers out of two countries.
Maybe backroom conversations are taking place right now.
God hopes I am not sounding like a jingoistic right-winger. I am a realist.
This is serious business.
Let yourself not lax into a soothing bed of promises, making you feel all tender and buttered up to ignore a conflagration that certainly can happen.
We should fly 5,000 B-52s over North Korea tomorrow, blow everything apart, rip the little man's clown apparatus to smithereens, and if we do not do it now, later is harder to offer the population lettuce to eat, help asian areas of concern formulate a workable agreement to the benefit of free human beings.
I am ready to be wrong, but I am not. I am right.
Possibly drop lift DVD players with music other than martial marches (i.e. ABBA or Duffy or Kelly Clarkson), wash our hands of it, then get back to Iranian bone rattling, which is growing more that irritating at this point.
Obama's statement:
"North Korea has ignored its international obligations, rejected unequivocal calls for restraint and further isolated itself from the community of nations," President Obama said in Prague, urging Pyongyang to honor the U.N. resolutions and to refrain from further "provocative" actions."
Way to go Mr. President.
That's telling em.

Crisis of Credit Visualized
It begs the question of where the controls are, or should have been, and how corruption and wealth-stealing schemes throughout the system can possibly be detected.
We are supposed to have mechanisms to stop this kind of spiral. But instead, it has been the business of our government to not only fail to protect us, but to bail out the bad guys with $1 trillion they won't even explain to whom it goes, or how it will stop the problem.
Anyway, enjoy this well designed, visually clear depiction.

New York Times Stock Now Costs Less Than Sunday Paper
I'm all broken up.
where "all the news fit to print," has morphed into "all the news that fits, we print."
And to think I used to subscribe to the N.Y. Times many years ago because I thought it was "cool" and "trendy." Yet even back then, it angered me too much that I quit it.

Please quiet thyself, Mr. Carter.

Relieve us all from further embarrassment and vanish.

Look, it's Gandhi!
From daylife.com
Since most of America remains in a delusional state of blindness, he might as well go for it:
"In recent days, Blagojevich has compared himself to the hero of a Frank Capra movie and a cowboy being lynched for a crime he didn't commit. He said that when he was arrested on federal corruption charges, he took solace from thinking of other jailed leaders -- Nelson Mandela, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Gandhi."
What a jackass.

Boy: "Who is Bruce Springsteen?"
Mom: "I forgot to tell the bridge club we won't be home before 2:00PM"
Girl: "I gotta go!"
Dad: "I'm almost sure I locked the car, wherever it is."
Boy: "I'm hungry."
Mom: "Wasn't that the loveliest scarf in the window?"
Girl: "How can you all be so calm?"
Dad: "I never thought Arizona would get to the Super bowl."

Somalia: Pirates' Daring Attack 'Stuns' U.S. Navy
from top military leaders of the United States is not exactly the sort of backhanded praise I want to hear.
Nor that world leaders are powerless.
Do you know what they used to do to pirates on the high seas hundreds of years ago? It was not very nice.
Brigands. International cutthroats.
This cannot be allowed to happen period, but especially when our interests are at stake.
Try using some of that military equipment instead of gushing over the extent of their hutzpah.

Law of Diminishing Returns on Shocks
Not even linking to the article, because the gushing report of a one-day reversal is canned language off the shelf.
In the pantry of common palaver, it sits in a jar next to another jar with doomsday tail-spins of crashing prices (recently dusted off).
These crazy swings bring to light one self-evident fact: no one is in control.
Least of all the government whose failure of oversight and reckless banking policy allows sharks to feed in target rich waters, then bail out with golden parachutes, the final insult being self-righteous whining about how broken up inside they all are about it.
The individual investor via 401K plans, IRA's, working and saving with what they hope is a good "portfolio mix," we are the ones getting screwed.
We don't sell in time. We don't buy in time. We can't know which granite-like institutions are made of Hollywood plaster-of-Paris. But we can and will be taxed in time. Or watch what happens to dollars stuffed in mattresses when the U.S. Treasury picks up the printing pace, as they now must do to cover a horrific debt in unsecured liabilities.
I don't expect everyone to be Adam Smith or John Keans, especially politicians. But the lack of basic economic understanding from those in control of policy is a dangerous weapon in the hands of children. Likewise, the dumbed-down cause/effect lies to the public in sound bites, these go largely unchallenged in media forums that should take more responsibility to be faithful to the truth.
Good luck to anyone playing the stock market these days. A sheer lottery, complete gamble.

Palin/Biden VP Debate
No links behind the picture this time.
They both did all right.
I think she "won." Whether it matters or not, impossible to say.
The decision-makers were probably watching tape-delayed "Survivor" from the previous hour with pizza.
He did not condescend, nor over-blabber, spelled out his position, demonstrating his strengths and liabilities as a six-time senator.
She showed poise, articulation, and a measure of smart strength - in my opinion surpassing all alters of exacting standards and measurements never applied to Hillary (in every sense).
As a governor with relative youth and inexperience, she needed to stand up to fair scrutiny.
As for the life-long, Washington train choo-choo lawyer, hooked onto the locomotive for "change we can believe in," dude gets no free pass for being entrenched in government 35 years.
No doubt, fresh soccer-mom attitudes about reform and "shaking things up" still require an intellectual foundation of constitutional knowledge, macro-economics, and savvy about the state of nations across this globe. She did that.
He brought what he had to the table, trying against his will to not pontificate or be demeaning.
You and I probably know which way we are going to vote in a few weeks. So I can't persuade you and you can't persuade me. All we can honestly do within confines of our fear, faith, and belief - is to ask each other to be fair in making a hard decision.
Those who yet do not know how they will vote, will be marshaled into buses or otherwise lured, or stay home.
I'll tell you one thing. I would not have wanted to walk onto that stage last night in front of millions, bright lights, every single facial gesture open to analysis.
The whole bluster about the moderator's bias had nothing to do with what transpired.
These impressions I took to bed:
Joe Biden waxed upon tried and true philosophical rhetoric, mixed in with "I can't help it" didacticism, skewed with wrong facts as he knows cannot be contradicted in the moment, a courtroom expert pulling down well-rehearsed sentences from shelves hardly dusty from under-use.
Sarah Palin took calculated risks to reveal the person she is as a testimony to her nature as much as proving her mental prowess and calm under pressure.
But apart from the poise of each candidate, which seems to be most important to the press and instant polls - what are they saying? What choices will they make? And from which basis of life and attitude and reason?
Answer that to your own liking.

Philosophical Musings
In the current economic climate, calling my community "settled" is a far cry from reality.
Whatever your notions about America's space program, pro or con, or its relative value in the national tapestry of endeavors which demand the power of government to support it - an age is ending.
What happens next is very much an open question. It may be true that the United States is willing to yield front-runner status at the forefront of the final frontier, curling instead into an eggshell of bankrupt institutions only aggravated by an ironic turn towards ever larger socialism, and hence more bankruptcy, on the part of a people not entirely stupid - but misled.
The fundamental facts of our economic crisis are not that complicated. It comes down to policies that pander to those who are weak and willing to be led by the nose. It comes down to the uninformed willing to give up hard-won rights to politicians who promise them cradle-to-grave nurturing without any idea of a "mutual contract."
But now, if you witness a neighbor who has more than you, it is not fair. Income is a miraculous blessing falling upon the unworthy and must be dealt with, meaning stolen, and with much arm-waving, apparently redistributed (at let us say a 75% inefficiency fee) to the less fortunate, whether they be citizens or not, as long as they can vote.
In the larger dimension, we have yet to truly witness the cost and impact of years of this kind of thinking. It's only getting worse, flagrant promises of everything from universal magical health care by government to job manufacture by government to education by government, and now - to the control of financial institutions by government.
So as the trillions and trillions of dollars in unfunded liability continue to mount, dooming anyone under the age of twenty-five now, gasoline on the fire, a heart-testing conclusion might be drawn that those essential matters which really require government support as a reflection of nation will - well these are lost.
And by "these," I mean a strong military to defend us from the envious and hate-filled eyes of zealots who want to see western civilization destroyed.
By "these," I imply preserving the institutions of law for justice as opposed to infiltrating it with a cancerous, entrenched, Godless aristocracy.
And by "these," I also include support of scientific research, not just into space, but across a wide field of disciplines (if that word even means anything anymore) whose common goal continues to direct itself towards turning back the puzzling structure of nature, of medicine, of sociology, psychology, energy, and non-agenda-driven models of understanding who we are, what we are, where we live, and what form our beliefs and world view.
To me, this is a blend of God's revelation and the product of human discovery, which can never fundamentally contradict each other. Because when our fallible understanding appears to be at odds with a divine appreciation. Well that just means we have got it wrong yet again and start over.
You and I live in a time clouded by our closeness to the present moment.
We live in a pivotal, "paying the piper" time, striking across the national landscape in lightning bolts which seem to crack out of nowhere, blinding, terrifying. But in fact these "equalization of forces" have been building for thirty or more years, and to continue with the electrical metaphor, every potential finds current to reach a state of equilibrium.
My community, oriented largely around NASA, is one to feel the consequences of our national distraction. And when combined with forces of nature, like hurricanes, which remind us who is really boss and it's not Al Gore - we may not be in a depression yet like the 30's dustbowl, which I'll bet less than 5% of kids under the age of 18 can even define, this represents a test of will.
I just met with an insurance adjustor, for instance, to combat the physical damage of a storm as we discuss wider damage in the national and global sense.
So we shall watch the Chinese spacewalk this week on page thirteen of a web site whose top story is "Dancing with Married Housewives."
Some might read about the European super-collider under the hills of Switzerland, or laugh at Leno jokes about customer support tech folks in India.
The rest of the world, meaning 95% of those now living, will surely just stand still and watch American self-destruct, gobble up our movies while buying treasury bills. No problem. We are immune from disaster.
And politicians who prey on our fears with beguilingly liquid-smooth snake oil baby chants, well we shall continue to grant them more and more power until it's too late.
Relative values - a foundation of sand.
And in the wake, which most of us are still young enough to experience in a future not so far away, we'll lose through our own freedom of choice, the freedom of choice.
I don't have a solution, nor wish to disregard sources of hope and optimism. I am just calling it as I see it.
Many times in history, people thought they were at the end of days. We are coming upon one of those times again.
And as Bogie said in "Casablanca," maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon, and for the rest of your life.
And with that, God bless the National Football League and the embrace of first hints of Fall. A cool morning with SunnyD and deaf dog happily prancing along the sidewalk, grasp and grass of his window on the universe. I wonder if our own view is essentially much different.

Go Sarah.

Can We Reverse the Ticket in Six Weeks?
Sarah Palin is standing up to the meanest attacks.
Can you believe the demeaning interviews she's been subjected to?
This woman has steel. Not accidental.
The democrats must be scared out of their pants to go after her with such vile, hateful attacks.
Their terror is palpable.
Let them stew in Barbra Streisand $23,950/ticket concerts or "The View."
The double-standard press has long lost any idea of a fair shake.
I'm sick to death of trying to be nice with idiots who would sell out this country to communism, a dumming down, talking down to the least common denominator, complete with full support from major networks.
Thank God McCain chose her.
Sarah has not even started to show what she is capable of.
I am perfectly willing for her to be a breath away from the presidency.
I will go beyond that. I would rest soundly if she were the president of the United States of America.
Instinctive trust.
Do not underestimate her.

Unintended Political Consequences
McCain-Palin, or Palin-McCain?
My comments might come across as devilish, but the amusement beneath my profound, stunned amazement actually finds less humor than a considered problem.
How funny is it when a sensation like Sarah Palin is outshining and upstaging the main guy.
Did you see her speech?
I don't wish to over-compliment, but my God. Think about the guts it took to step out there like that after being crushed by the press for a week or more.
Her teleprompter died halfway through. I'm not above suspecting foul play in that regard either, but this little-known fact is one worthy of me pointing out.
Girl did not even blink, and delivered the final ten minutes FROM MEMORY, in front of millions of people.
I don't know who this chick is, honestly. But I am going to find out.
That shows me courage and capability worthy of respect. Hence the double-take and analysis I present to you this morning.
McCain is being polite about this inextricable situation, but dude has a real problem here, checking her twice to see if she is not Teri Garr or mother Mary.
I thought McCain gave an admirable speech the other night, one worth hearing, no matter your political orientation.
I have to be honest and say I'll be voting for him. But that does not mean that those of you thinking to go the other way are any further from my respect and care.
But I must say, it is not just me with an inordinate relief for the breath of fresh air his running mate represents. And it is not a pop sensation either.
It is genuine enthusiasm.
And the irony falls squarely in the middle of American opinion: it is entirely possible that she's TOO good and TOO likable (despite a SoapZone interaction with someone who is rather malevolent towards her).
So this is a double-edged sword that might shatter the Republican Party for twenty years.
If you are a Democrat, you cannot feel easy either. She came out of nowhere and stole thunder from the anointed one after his Greek Column self-depiction as Aristotle. And so everybody is waking up to a different reality with two months to go before the election.
And Hillary is sleeping on nails, biting her nails, munching iron nails in between teeth so clamped with grinding grit that she might develop lockjaw.
If you are a Republican or independently conservative minded, yes, the impulse towards jubilation and gratitude is hard to smother - but I'm telling you. It is just not right for someone to completely upstage the main candidate like this.
She's a vibrant, smart forty-four year-old woman, handling the inexperience angle quite well, which does not serve the Obama team much rich dessert since he has never done anything in his career except talk.
But it could be disastrous for conservatives, because we cannot feel comfortable knowing that the person we really want to give a chance, is NOT the person at the head of the ticket.
And Dems - they have their own problems justifying why a 36 year entrenched Liberal Senator as VP represents "change we can believe in."
In other words, both parties are performing with best intentions the worst possible crescendo of self-destruction, but it is more interesting now than for the past long year of predictable baloney.
So I don't know what is going to happen. It would be almost amusing if it were not so serious.
Now back to the NFL, where we have a better idea of rules of the game than this ironic situation at the top of the GOP presidential ticket.
I say, scroll down and click the Kate Voegele song one more time. Let's live in a land of rhapsody, because the real world is much too confusing for anyone with common sense.
September 6, 2008
Not Caught up in the Hype
Yes I am.
Let me tell ya how I have been excoriated about my penchant for Sarah Palin.
SoapZone chatboards are brutal.
They are usually nice people, witty, until you reveal conservative values.
Then suddenly - all out attacks.
So I took it easy and wandered up to the guest bedroom, overflowing with clean yet wrinkled laundry.
You don't expect me to iron clothes on a Saturday? Get real.
The Kate Veogele song below is usually confined to Nadine from "General Hospital," but the show is not on during weekends, and I have been banned from the website, so basically I'm just fuming.
Nor apparently have we the pleasure of the U.S. Open tennis tournament due to minor tropical storms skittering up the East Coast.
What else can go wrong?
I've got my MacBook Pro. I'm fine.
So I am left now with no beer, checking work email from home, giving Emerson pills, trying to remember if I paid September homeowner's association dues. and wondering what this rumbling noise is from my refrigerator.
I spill a sad story with creative non-genius.
The truth is, I wander through life a romantic crazy man, not wrecked, not disillusioned, hardly scarred.
"Casablanca" sits on DVD Player in-basket, among others, frozen films from people long gone to end the ultimate evening of cherished desire for that last slice of pizza and a last decanter of burgundy which has probably aired well enough to the tune and whines of men and mimes, or dog-lost whimpering for simple attention.
Sing it Kate.

Can We Reverse the Ticket?
Sarah Palin.
What a shot in the arm.
I think I am officially in love.
Hillary, your seat is at the back of the bus.
Please excuse my exuberance.
But you must adore a country where shining stars like Sarah Palin leap from a seemingly unpopulated starry night into your soul.
What is this feeling, hope?
Steer sunbeams, my lady, into blinking eyes of omnipresent media, flabbergasted, nonplussed.
Second in a beauty pageant? How is that possible? Chinese judges?
Interesting accent too. Is that how Alaskans talk? Curious bend of syllables and enunciation.
I'm falling all over myself over it.
Refreshing, whatever your politics. Hard to express the gratification I felt last night, watching this attractive, dignified, capable lady speak clearly to values and principles I share.
Hillary clones, God bless you for heaped-up servings of righteous indignation.
If you lull yourself to sleep to Obama-rama intonations of pre-practiced candor, everyone feels cozy with a good bedtime fable.
G.W. has only a few months left to learn how to pronounce the word "nuclear." Lost cause. How hard is it to get that right?
Oh, and Joe Biden, corrupted by delusions of permanent entrenchment among left-leaning leaves in the wind (36 years worth of Senatorial wreckage should be enough), "change we can believe in."
The hypocrisy with the Democrats now, and fawning media, is so deep, so starched, I can't take it anymore. No fairness about it.

Look at the way she walks away from him.
Killer.

Ok G.W. - Time to Go Now
I don't know why the tall girl in white is wearing glasses, and I really don't care.
Hey Mr. President, Congress just bailed for five weeks on not voting up or down to open up oil drilling in The United States of America. How do you feel about that?

Are We Voting for President or a Pop Sensation?
Politics on a fun blog can get one in trouble, but my God people, all I ask is for the press and yourself to take five minutes and think about the realities of this world, how a free market economy works, what limits government should have over every aspect of your supposedly free life, and whether or not you deserve to keep more than half of your income.
