With the unfortunate passing of George Carlin, it prompted me to see if I could find one of my favorite routines. Which, I did.
As is the case with all of George’s shows… you may not want to play this, if foul language bothers you.
In fact, if you want to play the five minute video… you’ll have to… Read the rest of this entry »
The last set of Democrat primaries.
Media saying that Hillary should quit.
snObama already making plans for winning the candidacy.
Several “undecided” Florida and Michigan votes… given to snObama… who wasn’t on the ballot, but that’s besides the point: it’s more fair this way. (Well… to a Democrat, maybe… but I don’t want to hear any more of the poop about the Republicans stealing elections, when the Dems are doing this to themselves… [yeah... and that'll happen right after I sprout wings and fly to the moon.])
What do you think? Will the Hill throw in the towel?
I think Hillary will take it to the convention floor. I think she’ll keep on going, just like that battery bunny.
I could, of course, be wrong about this… but her character strikes me as the kind that doesn’t take “no” as an answer.
Push and push and push.. until she either gives birth or gets a hernia.
We shall see.

In 1969, an unknown author wrote a book that would later be made into a movie. That author had previously written other novels under pen names, but Andromeda Strain would be Michael Crichton’s first novel released under his real name.
If you haven’t read a Crichton novel, then you’ve probably seen a Crichton movie. Probably the most famous of all Crichton novels to be made into a movie is “Jurassic Park.” That movie did particularly well because Crichton also wrote the screenplay. Purists will realize that the book and movie differed in several regards, and that the movie version of “JP” was made a great deal more “family friendly” compared to the graphic details of the novel.
Memorial Day, A&E’s “The Andromeda Strain” makes it’s debut. It is a two-night event, so it may be more detailed than the original 1971 movie. However, the original movie was very true to the original novel, straying only - as I remember - in the sex of one of the characters. (A male in the novel, was female in the movie.)
I’m looking forward to the movie, although Crichton didn’t write the screenplay, so this may be more in the vein of “Based On The Novel.” In other words, it would resemble the novel, but not be exactly the same. We shall see.
As long as it’s not a disaster of a movie like “Rising Sun.” A disaster so bad, that Crichton actually walked out on the movie when it was being previewed to him.

I just enjoyed a McDonalds Southern Style Chicken Sandwich.
I loved it. I should.
It’s identical in flavor to the Chick Fil A sandwich, and I love those. Bun. Tender chicken. Two slices of pickles. They build them the same, too.
The only thing McDonalds is missing is the waffle fries.

Ah, more primaries. And, more opportunities for the Hill and Obama to do a little mudslinging. McCain has got to be loving this.
Sure, John’s time is coming: as soon as one or the other gets chosen to be the Democratic candidate, all guns will be firing at McCain. In the meantime, it’s self-destruction time for the Dems.
What do you think? Who’s it gonna be?
With Obama being put on display as exactly what he pretends he is not - a politician - I think he’ll end up losing to Hillary in Tuesday’s Primaries. I don’t know that he’ll end up losing overall, though. He’s got too much of a lead.
A person is judged by their actions, and the friends they keep.
NOW the friends he has… he’s completely aware of their character. But I think he’s a snob. SnObama, as some have named him. He thinks very little of the common person, very little of America, and very little of conservative values.
In other words, he’s a far-left leaning liberal Democrat with large beliefs in socialism.
Hey, at least with Hillary, we’ll get Bill. If we get Obama, we’ll be stuck with his wife.

I think Hill will win it by a percentage point or two. Around 51/49.
My next prediction? Win or lose, Hill won’t quit. She’s not going to give up easily on the power she wants so badly.

Yes, it’s true. Global Warming is to blame for just about everything.
And now… The next time you feel sick, tell the boss you can’t come to work today. Global Warming gave you a cold!

So the New York governor, Eliot Spitzer… the crime fighting warrior… is up to his eyeballs in crime.
Ok.
The moment this story broke yesterday, the first thing I noticed was.. I couldn’t find a reference to the party with which he belonged.
I finally found it… once I visited Michelle Malkin’s page: a Democrat.
Ok.
So my prediction was - and is - that he’ll fight tooth and nail to stay in office and not resign. After all, as a Democrat, he’s a victim, not a criminal.
Whereas if he had been a Republican… he would have been resigning by now. Not to mention the fact that, as a Republican, his party designation would have been plastered across every news story across the country.
With Republicans now saying “Quit or Be Impeached,” I think he’ll receive some heat from his own party to do just that… otherwise he could further damage the Democratic Party more than he already has.
I expect him to fight. We’ll see.

With the power grid problem in Florida that caused a nuclear plant to shutdown.. how long, I wonder, before the nutroots point at the nuclear power plant and start complaining? I can hear it now:
“See?! Nuclear power is bad, man. Like, real bad. All we need is love!”
Of course, it’s clean and efficient power… but logical arguements are usually pointless with environmentalists.
Especially since everything - including the human race - emit carbon dioxide. How a naturally occuring gas formed by humans over the past few thousand years is supposedly just now triggering a warmer Earth (the sky is falling!), I have no idea.
I think we should just place logic and common sense aside, and see what happens.
Oh wait.
We already have.
Bigger government, higher taxes for the rich [because, y'know, all they do is pay salaries and create jobs], and more government programs to help people that don’t want to help themselves…
Now if you’ll excuse me, it’s Tuesday, and I have an odd number ending on my license plate. I need gas for the car.
Then I think I’ll stand in line for a few hours to get a loaf of bread.
But at least health care will be free for everyone.
Yep. If I need any kind of life saving operation, all I need to do is sign up and wait for it… for a few months.
Of course, I may be dead by the time my turn comes up… but that solves two problems:
1. It’s free!
2. Government saves money, since more people will be dead [no operation performed], and that means less bread to have to give away, and - of course - lower health cost to the government, since there will be less and less older people.
Welcome to the new progressive America, comrade.
