For now, I won’t comment on how the replacement of Senators goes: white woman for white woman (D-NY), white man for white man (D-DE), and black man for black man (D-IL). You know those stories. Even the “cannot-have-a-white-man-as-secretary-of-state” philosophy. These stories, while embarrassing to some, are true and the facts cannot be argued. But I am now told by my US Senator Mel Martinez, that | Read More »
From the diaries by Erick Case in point: Tom Daschle, former US Senator from SD, and Senate Majority/Minority leader in late 90s and early 2000s. Daschle, tapped by Mr. Obama to be Secretary of Health and Human Services next year, wrote a book that he likely now wishes no one would read. In fact, amazon.com and buy.com have no copies in stock, so he has | Read More »
NBC is re-running the Saturday Night (not-so) Live episode tonight that contained a skit that attempted to tell how the subprime crisis really started. The digs at Pelosi and Frank were great, so was the couple who were caught flipping when the downturn hit. Shortly after the original episode, in which the real story of the Sandlers was told, the Sandlers complained to NBC about | Read More »
Written today in USA Today In a sense, the Obamas face a dilemma that many upper-middle-class families do in most big cities: Open, egalitarian systems offer lots of school choices — but the best ones fill up fast (and admission each fall is by lottery if applicants outnumber slots). Still, few can match the offerings of pricey private schools. So, with each of the them | Read More »
I understand why some folks voted Libertarian. I was confronted this year with a US House race (FL-15) where a qualified independent candidate was running. I feared that the Democrat Dr. Blythe, a Planned Parenthood supporter, could win without my vote for the GOP Posey (who won). Consider these cases from this 2008 election yesterday: If 90% of those 29,000 who voted for Barr (L) | Read More »
So, Joe sixpack in San Diego votes at 7:55 pm. It does not matter. At 8pm, his state is given to Obama. Why even bother going out in the 70 degree weather to vote?
So today, Delaware voters get to vote for Joe-the-six-term-Senator twice. How is this possible? How is his Senate seat filled should Obama win? How can he pick which position he wants? Why should the Dems get a free Senate seat? In the same way, I urge all Alaskans to vote for Stevens just so Gov. Palin can appoint a Republican replacement after the election. Again, | Read More »
I don’t see anything on the front page saying anything about website issues. Is it just me?

Back in the 1970′s William (then called Billy) Ayers wrote (or co-wrote with his now-wife, Bernadine Dohrn) Prairie Fire, the Weather Underground’s manifesto. A must-read blog on this appears at ZombieTime with all the links and text. This is a must-read. I won’t pull pieces here. I encourage you to read the article. As a side-note, as a graduate of Knox College, whose school nickname | Read More »
Sunday, The Anchorage Daily News (ADN) endorsed Barack Obama for President. From the AP Wires: The newspaper said Sunday the Democrat “brings far more promise to the office. In a time of grave economic crisis, he displays thoughtful analysis, enlists wise counsel and operates with a cool, steady hand.” From this account, we have some definitions from the ADN: Thoughtful Analysis: Leaving town and telling | Read More »
I saw this blog post by Average American Mom when reading about Biden’s international crisis prediction. and thought it was hysterically funny (hey, it was late, but it was funny). So I needed to share it. I was surprised to find a huge conservative crowd at an abc news site. Why I am voting Democrat! I’m voting Democrat because I believe the government will do | Read More »
Halloween is next Friday, 4 days before Election day. Please contribute your favorite ways to dress up as a Obama supporter, Joe Biden (maybe have “Chuck” wheel around with you and stand up), ACORN community organizer, or whatever is popular this season. I am sure that the Joe-The-Plumber costumes will be out there as well. Also, propose your scariest politician award.
2.0 had a search feature. I found nothing in the help section. Help! I cannot believe that a CMS-based site does not have a search capability. And yes, I donated to 3.0.
The socialist spread-the-wealth message was the real news. But instead of covering what Obama said, the MSM are examining and trashing Joe W. In two days we will know more about Joe the Plumber than we know about Barack Obama. We know Joe’s union status, but we don’t know Obama’s grades in Columbia and Harvard. We know Joe’s complete financial history, but we don’t know | Read More »
I was going to write on this, but let’s promote this one instead. And feel free to email NBC to ask them what gives. – Moe Lane Everyone knows NBC is in the bag for Obama. Even O’Reilly admits it. From what I read on Michelle Malkin’s great website the real-life Sandlers got a bit upset after seeing the SNL skit Saturday night. See Moe’s | Read More »
Just sent this in via www.house.gov, which is very slow tonite. Dr. Weldon voted for the bill Monday, saying it was a poor bill but he felt pressured to do something. Please vote no on this bailout. I agree with you that it is a poor bill. But “doing something to just do something” is no reason to support it. As a doctor, you know | Read More »
Just passed tonite by a 78-12 vote, the RINOs have caved to the Democrats. And President Bush will sign this piece of bulky legislation. And look, that state that hates autos, California, did not even bother to show up and vote. I guess they opted out. I sure wish I had the chance to opt out.
There has been much debate about the impact of the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) on the home mortgage crisis. A libertarian friend of mine discovered this 1999 article by Ronald Brownstein at the LA Times of the proud achievements under the CRA during the Clinton presidency. This article contains references to the contributions of Clinton, Fannie and Freddie, and Andrew Cuomo. It is pointed out | Read More »
Courtesy of a post by Julie Walsh at OpenMarket.org, we learn from The National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) that Arctic sea ice extent, after reaching its seasonal minimum last week, has begun its annual cyclical increase in response to the setting sun. A cooler melt season, retention of first-year ice, and dispersive ice motion set the 2008 melt season apart from 2007. Overview | Read More »
