I don’t remember any Democrat so eager to get on TV and deride John Kerry before the 2004 election, or even after he lost. But Republican after Republican is lining up to razz on John McCain. In 2004 the Democrats had a vision of a better country, and they lost, but their vision for [...]

Shooting Stuff

Gun maker likes Obama? IS UNPOSSIBLE. We must kick him out of the company.
And You Say Your Vote Doesn’t Matter
Friday, October 31, 2008
They computed the probability that one single vote will swing the election in each state. In Pennsylvania, the probability that your vote will be the single, deciding vote is somewhere around 0.3 × 10−7
So get out there on Tuesday and make 0.3 × 10−7th of a difference!
Blowback Is Just A Nice Word For “Now We Pissed ‘Em Off Real Good”

If this is true, Syria’s isn’t interested in monitoring their borders anymore. Law and order is breaking down.
Sometimes I wonder if the current administration isn’t setting things up on purpose to be as unmanageable as possible for the next administration. I have no idea if it’s intentional or not, but that seems to be where [...]
Watch Them Crumble

This e-mail was sent from Hillsborough County Republican Party chairman David Storck.
THE THREAT:
HERE IN TEMPLE TERRACE, FL OUR REPUBLICAN HQ IS ONE BLOCK AWAY FROM OUR LIBRARY, WHICH IS AN EARLY VOTING SITE.
I SEE CARLOADS OF BLACK OBAMA SUPPORTERS COMING FROM THE INNER CITY TO CAST THEIR VOTES FOR OBAMA. THIS IS THEIR CHANCE TO [...]
The Dark Ages Are Just A State Of Mind
Thursday, October 30, 2008
Wonkette correctly points out that as these financiers pray to the Christian god for a better economy, they’re breaking the second commandment (the one about no idols) in the process. I’d just like to point out that it’s 2008 in the Civilized World and people are gathering around an animal idol to pray for salvation.
War Crimes
Thursday, October 30, 2008
I’m tired of reading about war crimes. Israel attacks its neighbors and that’s a war crime. The USA kills 90,000 civilians in Iraq and that’s a war crime. The term, war crime, seems empty and meaningless to me.
There is a loose, colloquial interpretation of the term, which is similar to that of perfidy, but I [...]
Wait For It

When the World Series ends and the townspeople predictably riot, the Very Serious Voices will wonder aloud if watching these urban black folks looting gives you pause in your choice of a President. This will not be considered racism. And even if there are no urban blank folks looting, they will talk about them anyway.
Paper
Wednesday, October 29, 2008
Looking at the official portraits of Presidents past, I note that a fair number of them decided to have their portrait painted with a paper in hand, or at least very nearby — Nixon, G.H.W. Bush, J.Q.A., Van Buren, Tyler and more. Paper is a symbol of thoughtful work. It implies scholarship. It has long [...]
