I Guess I Gotta Go Back and Check Out Those Harry Stottlemeyer Books

Once again, the logic of our friends on the right leaves me dizzy. I guess I should stop expecting consitency and sense from those guys.
The current deal getting conservative panties in a bunch is the knock against Senator Harry Reid for daring to criticize General Peter Pace. They shout, how dare he criticize a man [...]

I’m Still Here

I haven’t posted in a few days. Really, it’s because I’m all broken up about Mr. Wizard. Now, I’ll never know how to make an electromagnet with a potato, old pennies and a mayonaise jar.
Hmm. Maybe I’ll not post until the house leadership takes some action on the budget…

And Remember It Is an Election, Not a Debate Between Gloria Steinem and George Beck

I’m hearing this talk that Fred Thompson would be a great choice for president because of his conservative family values (a series of relationships with semi-famous blondes a generation your junior is “conservative family values,” who knew?) and because he has played tough talking leaders. He is “folksy” because he leased a red pick-up truck [...]

But, They Have That Fun Smiley Face Mascot, They Can’t Be All Bad

A week or so ago, Daniel Scarpinato’s Political Notebook column featured comments from Pete Zimmerman, a Democratic consultant who is working on behalf of an initiative drive being pushed by Wal-Mart. Of the criticism he’s taking from Democratic activists, he said:
It really boils down to a war that’s being waged on Wal-Mart by several unions [...]

Bee or Not to Bee

Little question for you, I know that the Senate immigration compromise is probably dead, although all sorts of things can happen. We know where most of our federal officials are on it, except maybe Jon Kyl (for it before he was against it?). What about our potential federal officials. I’m thinking of Tim Bee. His [...]

Alfred Didn’t Seal the Cave Entrance Again

E-mail that went out to legislators and staff yesterday:
Everyone:
A dead bat was found in the House Members’ parking lot.  It tested positive for rabies by DHS.
We are addressing the problem.  In the meantime, do not go near any dead or live bats.  Please contact security immediately if you see a bat.
Great, I can’t refer to [...]

Gawd, I Have to Write About Paris Hilton Too

Okay, this guy Sheriff Lee Baca who is now being hammered for releasing Paris Hilton early? Guess who he endorsed for President.
That’s right: John McCain.
Baca, by the way, has been criticized in the past for the soft spot on his heart for celebrities. He had a ”celebrity reserve unit” that had to be curtailed because of the misbehavior of the various [...]

Sports Related Post, and Nothing Even Gets Kicked

The Governor came down yesterday for the rally honoring our championship Wildcat Softball team. Our Gov’s office was nice enough to send me a couple of pictures. You can click them to see them full size. Congratulations, Wildcats!

Pace Out, Y’all!

The zeitgeist about this one is that Robert Gates wants to bring in his own man, and Peter Pace is seen as Donald Rumsfeld’s man.
Anyone think that this actually changes a darned thing? So, will this new admiral he likes be in charge of the war or will it be this Douglas Lute fellow?
I really have little interesting [...]
