Putting the Rude in Rudy

Filed in Uncategorized by on September 22, 2007 4 Comments

Yesterday, while making a speech to the NRA, Rudy took a cell phone call from his wife.  Perhaps this was theater, but I have a strict rule that if you are in a job interview and your wife calls, let it ring.  Better yet, turn it off before you enter the interview.  Anything less is […]

Around the Horn Friday: Don’t Make Me Tase You Edition

Filed in Uncategorized by on September 21, 2007 5 Comments

This has been a fun week in blogging.  I give big kudos to Jason for Patriot Day.  Also, International Talk Like a Pirate Day was on Wednesday.  Add in a healthy serving of Protack/Levin and things get downright cheery. Let’s start with Protack and the accusation by FSP that Protack may have violated campaign finance law for […]

Patriot Day: Global Warming is Good For You

Filed in Uncategorized by on September 19, 2007 2 Comments

So I’ve been hearing this buzzing around the interwebs about the world getting hotter or some such thing.  I think some people are just too “in love” with the cold.  Let’s face it, in the winter it gets cold.  Who needs that?  How cool will it be to go to the beach in January and […]

Patriot Day: Larry Craig, Come Clean!

Filed in Uncategorized by on September 19, 2007 4 Comments

I would like to explain to you all why Senator Craig will be vindicated and potentially get the Vice Presidential nomination. He is a secret agent in the culture wars. Just like any war, it is important to have spys.  In order to gather effective information spys sometimes have to go under deep cover.  Haven’t […]

Filed in Uncategorized by on September 14, 2007 5 Comments

Well, it has been 6 years since September 11th, 2001. Never before had I seen a united country like we were that week. And never have I seen an event perverted for political purposes on that scale either. Jason put quite a fine point on the issue this week with a post that sparked quite […]

Ho-Hum… More BushCo Lies

Remember the big arrest in Germany of terrorists?  Well, the good news is that they are still terrorists, not some foreigner in the wrong place at the wrong time.  But now, the Director of National Intelligence, Mike McConnell has withdrawn his statement about the role of the new anti-constitution “Screw Protect America Act.”  Initially McConnell […]

Filed in Uncategorized by on September 9, 2007 20 Comments

I was surfing around the tubes we call the interwebs and I saw that Indecision2008 (Comedy Centrals’ political humor site) is running a request for anagrams.  Dick Cheney anagrams to Chick Needy.  I thought it would be interesting to see what some of our local pol’s and bloggers could be anagrammed as.  The best I’ve […]

Filed in Uncategorized by on September 8, 2007 48 Comments

Well this week we saw another Republican joker enter the fray. At least he did it on Leno, where jokes are acceptable. Turns out his given name is really Freddie. I Freddie Thompson do solemnly swear… Nice.  Nancy and Dana both call him out.  Frank Knotts can’t be happier. On the local scene I think […]

Filed in Uncategorized by on August 31, 2007 8 Comments

I was torn this week as to whether or not to title this edition to highlight Gonzo or Craig ( I was going to go with “Homo Hokey-Pokey Edition”) but Getting rid of Gonzo is so sweet that I had to go with him. Ding dong the witch is dead! That being said, let’s start […]
