I don’t like picking on kids of candidates unless they put themselves in the mix voluntarily.  But sheez louise, this pic is awful!

the death of Benazir Bhutto

Posted by Moonage on 27 Dec 2007 | Tagged as: International Issues, International Politics

I am reading right now that Benazir Bhutto died in the suicide attack on her rally.
This is awful news.
I have heard a lot of speculation that Al Qaeda has focused on Pakistan since it’s getting its butt kicked in Iraq and Afghanistan.   That makes sense.  What doesn’t make sense there is attacking Bhutto.  Musharraf is [...]

Crunch time for the candidates?

Posted by Moonage on 27 Dec 2007 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race

A lot is being made of the Iowa and New Hampshire caucuses.  Now we’re facing “crunch time“.  Let’s look at a little history, shall we?
Here’s Iowa’s history of caucus voting:
Democrats

January 19, 2004 - John Kerry (38%), John Edwards (32%), Howard Dean (18%), Richard Gephardt (11%) and Dennis Kucinich (1%)
January 24, 2000 - Al Gore (63%), [...]

What will the Democrats do?

Posted by Moonage on 26 Dec 2007 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race

I was listening to a debate I think it was on CNN.  The emphasis of the debate was how qualified Hillary Clinton was to lead the country based on her own statements of how she had helped lead the country during her husband’s tenure.  There was a Republican debator, and a Democrat debator.  The first [...]

Look unto the bookshelf, Paul is dead

Mike Huckabee ran a tv ad wishing everyone a Merry Christmas.  Boring you say?  Well, some people can find something interesting in anything.  Namely, this extremely controversial image appeared without the intention of the Huckabees ( according to them ):

That glowing cross is actually a bookshelf ( see the lights sitting on it? ).  Now, [...]

No more corruption in Kentucky?

Posted by Moonage on 18 Dec 2007 | Tagged as: Ethics, US Regional Politics

The entire time Republican Governor Ernie Fletcher was in office, Attorney General Greg Stumbo dogged him about hiring people based on political patronage.  Stumbo even went so far as to file corruption charges and seat a grand jury before dropping the charges so that he could run for governor himself.  People of Kentucky bought into [...]

Let them eat cake?

Posted by Moonage on 18 Dec 2007 | Tagged as: Political Correctness

This is pretty amazing to me:
A 10-year-old Florida girl faces felony weapons charges after bringing a small steak knife to school to cut up her lunch, according to a report on WFTV.com.
Thinking this story was blown out of proportion or something, I read on:

“She did not use it inappropriately. She did not threaten anyone with [...]

PRO IP and you

Posted by Moonage on 14 Dec 2007 | Tagged as: Legislative Process

A lot is being made of H.R. 4279, referred to as PRO IP.  Depending on who you ask, it either makes felons out of anyone who listens to music on the internet.  Or, it does nothing more than create more beauracracy in DC.  After reading it, I tend to side with the latter.  However, it [...]

Credit Card Panties

Posted by Moonage on 13 Dec 2007 | Tagged as: Idiot of the day, Political Correctness

This is dumb.  Walmart was selling these clever little panties:

On the back it says “When you have Santa”.
Someone objected so Walmart is yanking them off the shelves.
Grow
up
people.
They’re cute.  So what if it infers something a little risque?  If I find them at my local Walmart before they hide them, I’m buying some for the [...]

National Review endorses Romney

Posted by Moonage on 12 Dec 2007 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race

Ed Morrissey at Captain’s Quarters respects William F. Buckley’s endorsement of Mitt Romney.  I don’t. 
However, Ed goes on to say he’s not terribly convinced this will mean a lot to the average voter.  I do agree with that.
The problem I have with Buckley is he picks and chooses which Republicans he thinks are good enough [...]
