Election 2008 Results, Chapter 1

Barak Obama. Congratulations on a well run and clean campaign. You have earned the privilege of leading us. I celebrate your victory with you. But I will be watching what you do, not just what you say. My feelings about this victory are best expressed by Mike Huckabee in his recent blog post:
“I can’t help [...]

Election Night Predictions

It’s about 7:30 pm CST and polls across the nation will soon be closed. Our polls close in just half an hour. My votes and my predictions (let’s see how close I come):
President: I voted John McCain, Republican. This patriot deserves my vote, but I did not campaign for him, and I’m unsure how much [...]

A day we will regret

A day that I believe we will live to regret. A day that Senators and Congressmen will rewrite in their “recollections” (thankfully we have C-Span Archives). This is the Iraq War vote all over again. Scare the crap out of us, hand the Executive Branch a blank check, and then wait to see what happens. [...]

Even the experts doubt the bailout bill will work

Even the “experts” don’t think this will work according to MSNBC.
See the media getting ready to rewrite history after they pushed this bill? They are laying out their escape plan… “well, we never were sure it would work, but we had to try.”

Tim Walz stands firm

Tim Walz, thank you. I Just received a personal reply to an email from Congressman Walz’s office. How refreshing.

At least he is struggling with making the correct decision, unlike many of the lock-step partisan “Kool-Aid drinkers.”
Regardless of how [...]

Call your Senator

12:30pm CST: The Dow is down, so far today, less 100 points. And yet, the Senate Republicans are ready to pass legislation that will spend more than the cost of the entire War in Iraq. And they will set a precedent that will alter our national economy forever. This bill has far reaching consequences. Please [...]

Stand Firm

1:15pm CST – FLASH – the DOW is up 375 from yesterday’s decline. Almost HALF has been made up in less than a day. And they said the sky was falling.
Watch out… the Hacks are coming back on Thursday to twist the arms (again) of the brave Congressmen who stood up for you on Monday. [...]

Hacks and Heroes

The people win. Today anyway. 228-205 to not steal your money and give it to failed businesses. Yeah, call my sarcasm uninformed class envy. Call it right wing anger. Call it whatever you want. We, the peasants, WIN.
And the whining goes on… gotta love the cry babies who ask us to get involved, then when [...]

Wall Street Bailout

Been very busy. But all work had to stop this morning to comment on the
“Great Bailout of ‘08.” Unlike our candidates and elected officials, I will stake out a position right now. DON’T DO IT.

Contact your Representative now, like I did, and oppose this fleecing of America.
My representative, Tim Walz, Democrat, is leaning toward opposing [...]

DailyKos Smear

DailyKos.com: C’mon. This is just too low…. even for you. I think this actually belongs in the “mean-spirited” category.

Okay, I just have to diary about this, although in many ways this falls into the ‘none of our business’ [...]
