It can be summed up in this little quote: Democrats are looking ahead to expanded power. New New Deal. Unfettered ability to impose government oversight, appoint activist judges, raise taxes, and spend whatever they want on whatever they want. I am so not looking forward to the next 4 years.

Thursday Things
I haven't posted much this week. Perhaps it's because I'm not thinking much this week. Here's a little scrimpet of stuff that has passed by my noggin but is too little to write about - I haven't given much thoughts to the electrion so far this year; it bores me already. I don't like any … Continue reading Thursday Things
Liberals Taking Credit for Conservative Ideas
I find this story in the Houston Chronicle amusing: Republican Gov. Rick Perry rallied his evangelical, socially conservative base on the issue, but political analysts said Proposition 2's success doesn't necessarily predict future success for individual politicians. "I don't see how it can be useful for a party or a candidate because this so transcends … Continue reading Liberals Taking Credit for Conservative Ideas
Coming Up Empty
Hmm. Nothing inspires me to blog today. I tossed some ideas at myself but nothing stuck. North Korea says the have nukes and don't want to talk about it. The U.S. says we ought to talk about it. No solutions look good at the moment. Let North Korea keep the nukes? Force them to disarm? … Continue reading Coming Up Empty
What Do the Democrats Stand For?
OpinionJournal today asks, "What do the Democrats stand for?" Then proceeds to eloquently trash the heart of liberalism and what is stands for. Excellent reading today; while applauding the heart behind liberalism, once you recognize that liberalism has a cost, you next have to ask, "how much cost is too much?" And as soon as … Continue reading What Do the Democrats Stand For?
Boycotting "Winter Holidays"
Yep, I'm boycotting "Winter Holidays" as a completely useless and meaningless psuedo-pagan holiday. I'm celebrating Christmas. The birth of Christ, a reminder He came to die for our sins, the loving and giving we share with each other as we remember the loving and giving Jesus gave to us. I'll happily pile on the odd … Continue reading Boycotting "Winter Holidays"
Did John Kerry Cheat?
If John Kerry didn't cheat, what is he removing from his pocket? From INDC comes this accusation, and it's a valid charge. The rules of the debate were very clear: (c) No props, notes, charts, diagrams, or other writings or other tangible things may be brought into the debate by either candidate. ... (d) Notwithstanding … Continue reading Did John Kerry Cheat?
Wayward College Student Found!
Alex called back last night and we caught up on things. He's staying up at college this weekend (good for him!); he has parties, an XBox tournament, and movies to go see. Some of those events mysteriously involve girls.
It Was a Fun Party Until I Knew Who Was Paying For It
Thanks to a Wizbang lead, I can answer SondraK's recent question about why Air America was no longer on the air. SondraK? An Air America listener? Perhaps she takes Zantax afterwards. Air America went on the air with great fanfare, throwing lavish parties and promising to uproot Rush Limbaugh from the airwaves. The only problem … Continue reading It Was a Fun Party Until I Knew Who Was Paying For It
Giving Blood
I gave blood after lunch today, and I'm following the nurse's orders - relaxing, eating cookies, drinking water, blogging. Giving blood is only a minor inconvenience to you and can help save lives, so consider it when you next get the opportunity. And you get free toys - last time I got a frisbee, today … Continue reading Giving Blood
Cato Critique Misses Mark
I think I like 1/2 the articles at The Cato Institute. Some days they have excellent commentary on politics, other days I wonder if their hats are on too tight. Today was one of those days.In today's "Bush, Kerry, and Partisan Hypocrisy," David Boaz criticizes the hypocrisy of both parties. While I would agree that … Continue reading Cato Critique Misses Mark
Which one of you was Mom again? I forget.
This is the type of story that makes me wonder whatever happened to that comfortable nuclear nucular nuclear family. Ward and June never discussed issues like this.SAN FRANCISCO - A woman has no parental rights over the twins she was raising with her lesbian partner - even though she is the children's genetic mother, an … Continue reading Which one of you was Mom again? I forget.
