Spitting on Tillman’s Grave

Filed under Paleowatch

With all the hard work I’ve been doing following the Dean and Kerry campaigns (stop snickering) Paleowatch has suffered dearly. That changed today when PunchtheBag led me to this LewRockwell.com Blog post that’s mildly sympathetic to Pat Tillman’s death. It’s in response to this vile post almost cheering Tillman’s death. The writer, Karen De Coster, […]

Looking Good II

Filed under John Kerry

Peggy Noonan adds to Fineman on why Bush still leads Kerry:
I think Mr. Bush is admired and liked after three years of war, terror, strife and recession because people have eyes.
They look at him, listen to him, and watch him every day. They can tell that George W. Bush is looking out for America. They […]

Here Are Some Bad Songs

Filed under Music
Comments Off

No need for me to follow the “worst song” meme that Blender started. I put together a list last year that I still stand mostly stand by. One song I’d add would be William Hung’s version of “Can You Feel The Love Tonight.” I’ve never heard, never will (hopefully), but after seeing him doing “She […]

Donate for Doughnuts

Filed under Weblogging

What could get you pumped up to donate to Spirit of America? How about doughnuts? Not just any old fried sweets, but those golden, glazed goodies that are the crack cocaine of junk food. I’m talking about the original, hasn’t been duplicated Krispy Kremes! The first five people to donate $25 or more to Spirit […]

Looking Good

Filed under John Kerry
Comments Off

Howard Fineman comments on the Presidential horserace. Even with the strong resistence in Iraq and questions about President Bush’s approaches to terrorism prevention and the war “the fact is that Kerry has lost ground — ground he has to make up if he hopes to win in November.” Fineman then lists some reasons Bush is […]

Lots to Do (Literally!)

Filed under John Kerry

He should just quit the campaign now. I’m sure he’s a few thousand behind “The Stilt.”
Insert lots of jokes in the comments.

The Coalition is Losing

Filed under Weblogging

But Spirit of America and Iraq is winning. Forget bringing back the draft to more equitably share the burden. You can bear more of the burden (who’s paying to kill the bad guys and rebuild there?) by donating.

Congressman Christopher Shays (R-CT) will convene a hearing on the fraud that was the Iraq Oil-for-Food program. Before allowing the U.N. to do anything more in Iraq, that organization must be held accountable for perpetuating Saddam’s regime. Friends of Saddam, a new weblog, is following this story.

Highly Recommended

Filed under Music

I just downloaded Motown 1’s from iTunes. Oh, do I love “Tears of a Clown” by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. Always have, always will. The album is loaded with other great songs. Get it. There’s no way you’ll be disappointed.

Lazy Bums

Duke University has pushed back their first classes of the day from 8:00 am to 8:30 am to give students more time to sleep. Who’s to say the students won’t just stay up an extra half hour making change pointless?

Lazy Radical

The hottest comic strip writer is a jackass who sits around his Beverly Hills penthouse apartment staring at the television to find inspiration for his next strip. When it finally hits him it’s lame, inspid Bush-bashing. Aaron McGruder doesn’t even draw “The Boondocks” anymore. Berkeley Breathed is still trying to regain his form (hint: get […]

One Good Ketchup Company

Stop picking on Heinz, Co. They make the best ketchup and neither Sen. Kerry or his wife run the company. Blast Kerry for his hypocritical “Benedict Arnolds” remarks, but don’t complain to the company. They’re one of the good guys by donating only to President Bush.

I noticed I’ve done a lot of posting but none of any length and thought. Oh, well. It’s just one of those days. Anyway, the Wisconsin Legislative Research Bureau has RSS feeds for their publications. Perfect for any Wisconsin resident intent on keeping a watchful eye on their goverment.
