Pink Aid

Posted by Moonage on 30 Sep 2005 | Tagged as: Katrina

This is the best one yet.  Following in the line of Boobs 4 Bourbon Street and Girls Gone Wild for New Orleans, I have now been introduced to PinkAid.  YOU can be a sexual superhero and help the victims of Katrina/Rita by having sex with your preferred partner.  Sounds simple don’t it?  I love the [...]

Finding Money for New Orleans

Posted by Moonage on 29 Sep 2005 | Tagged as: Fed Policy, International Politics, Katrina, Political Correctness

I have not been a fan of the Porkbusters effort.  I think I’ve made that clear already.  They have taken an idea and run amok with it.  Rather than attacking our own, why not look at what we’re giving to people who never pay ANY taxes at all?  Rather than pulling money out of circulation [...]

Tom Delay waiving the statute of limitations

Posted by Moonage on 29 Sep 2005 | Tagged as: The Legal Process

Orin Kerry asks "The question is, why would DeLay waive the statute of limitations?"  Now, Orin’s as sharp a lawyer as they come, but he then asks "Do any VC readers with experience in criminal law have additional insights to share about this? "
I am not a criminal lawyer.  I am not a criminal ( [...]

The Blogging Congresswoman

Posted by Moonage on 29 Sep 2005 | Tagged as: National Politics

I have been waiting for this to happen.  Now that it is, not sure what I think of it.  Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee is blogging to some degree at Redstate.org.  In this particular thread she is discussing ideas to save federal money to be spent for Katrina/Rita relief.  Her idea primarily attacks:

Earned Income Tax [...]

Tom Delay Finally Indicted

Posted by Moonage on 28 Sep 2005 | Tagged as: National Politics

A Texas grand jury on Wednesday charged Rep. Tom DeLay and two political associates with conspiracy in a campaign finance scheme, an indictment that could force him to step down as House majority leader.

In previous posts about Tom Delay, I have expressed my displeasure with his leadership.  As well, I have opposed the Republicans [...]

Ruffini’s August Republican Straw Poll

Posted by Moonage on 28 Sep 2005 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race

Patrick Ruffini has the August results of his Republican straw poll up.  It’s interesting to me.  He runs two polls, one for "legitimate" candidates and one including the "fantasy: candidate of your choice.  Of the legitimate contenders, here are the Top 2.:

Giuliani
5143 (29.5%)

Allen
3459 (19.8%)

Now, if you toss in the fantasy candidates, here’s the [...]

Anatomy of a Photograph

The SFGate.com ran this photo as a teaser for their article titled:
Thousands across U.S. march for peace Bay Area: Largest war protest since conflict started in 2003
Only problem is, they don’t show much of anything else.  For instance, they don’t show this:

Boobs 4 Bourbon Street

Posted by Moonage on 27 Sep 2005 | Tagged as: Katrina

I have been chastised more than once for interfering with people’s efforts at browsing for soft porn.  My links to Tara Reid’s boob and Paris Hilton have brought people here only to be rewarded with the desired content, but, they have to read about boring politics and other social ills, which browsing for soft porn [...]

The Greatest Movie Line Ever

Posted by Moonage on 27 Sep 2005 | Tagged as: Humor

This clip is being circulated as "the greatest movie line ever".  Not sure
if that’s true, but it’s funny as hell.

This clip actually came from the movie "The Ghost Breakers". 

The "polarized political rhetoric" is from 1940.  I generally
try not to trash one party or the other ( without reason ).  But, Bob’s
line is just too funny [...]
