Just Some Links

1.  Oregon man says he is pregnant. I thought this was some big scientific breakthrough (or more probably a National Enquirer story) until I found out it was just a woman who had chest reconstruction and grew a beard.

2.  Nancy Reagan is endorsing McCain. Good news for McCain which can only help his image with the Republican base. What with Obama and Hillary making fools of themselves, McCain is looking better and better.

3.  Yeah, that’s what he says in public, but in private you just know da Pope and the Cardinals were exchanging high-fives and doing the baby-circle dance. Take that Mohammad.

4.  And take that global warming.

5.  If you do nothing else today, check out this video and have a good cry. Or at least tear-up like me.

6.  And this woman differs from every woman on Earth in exactly what way?

7. Long story short - the Vets for Freedom were giving a presentation to some high school kids in Minnesota.  The anti-American, anti-military members morons of the Democratic Underground and some equally suspect parents scared the wimpy principal into cancelling the presentation, so the local community showed up in force to welcome the Vets along with some good kids who skipped school to see them. Good on the community and the kids who skipped school. Shame on the DU, the complaining parents and the school officials who cowed down to this pressure.

8. ***A Late Addition*** Getting Beyond Racism. A wonderful post - check it out.

Who Left The Box Unlocked?

There’s some murmuring in the blogosphere and in political circles that Al Gore will end up being the Democrat nominee. This is just one of those general murmurs, but if you Google a bit you will find others.

I voted for Gore against Bush back in the day and I am still thanking the Lord that he lost.  I simply cannot imagine how badly he would have handled things after 9/11, but I do know that if he followed in Bill Clinton’s footsteps the extent of his response would have been slamming a cruise missile up a asprin factory and little else.

Some people no doubt would have preferred that, but it’s half-assed actions like that and in Mogadishu, that gave Bin Laden the nerve to carry out the 9/11 attacks in the first place.

At any rate, I could see this happening.  Obama is damaged goods. Hillary is damaged goods.  And while Gore was damaged goods, his reputation is absolutely sterling when compared to those two, plus he’s a Nobel Prize winner now - insert laugh here - so he has that going for him.  There’s also that whole stolen-election nonsense that many on the left would love to re-visit.

Stranger things have happened folks, and with a big admission that I am anything but a political expert, I see him being a bigger threat to McCain than those other two combined.

Just when you thought it was safe Al breaks out of the lockbox.

My Newest Read

Liberal Fascism by Jonah Goldberg. A New York Times and Amazon best seller and, if the first chapter is any indication, even better than I expected it to be.

I would like to say I purchased it, but the truth is my very liberal son who works at a bookstore, got it for me for free (employees can check out books and return them). My apologies to Mr. Goldberg, but he shouldn’t worry too much because chances are I will like it so much I will just have to buy it for my bookshelf.

It took some doing to get him to borrow it for me.  He was reluctant to put it mildly, but after loaning him some of my Haz-Mat gear he agreed and it was here when I woke-up this morning. 

No wonder he took two showers last night. Poor kid.
