Warren Jeffs kissing young girls.

I saw this before it made the news.  Originally I wasn’t going to comment on it because I was so repulsed by it:

Now, this makes me uncomfortable because I feel like I’m promoting kiddie porn.  However, what this does do for me is eliminate the embarassment last week was for the Texas Attorney General’s office [...]

Four more years of Bushisms?

Posted by Moonage on 27 May 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, Media

Barack Obama’s campaign has been all about “change“.  However, one thing seems bound not to change if Obama is elected.  Whereas we’ve had to deal with nucular, internets, and global warmings, now we’ll get muddled facts instead of words:

Marking the anniversary of the March 1965 “Bloody Sunday” in Selma, Ala., Obama, speaking at a church, [...]

Obama’s Sixth Sense?

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

My favorite speech of the campaign so far.  Well, not sure about the entire thing, but this one line takes the cake so far:

“On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes — and I see many of them in the audience here today – our sense of patriotism is [...]

Are all liberal talk show peeps stupid?

Now, I don’t believe that to be necessarily true, I just can’t find one I think is terribly smart.  Today’s example is Thom Hartmann.  In 2005, he tried convincing people that Jimmy Carter tried to prevent the Bush Energy Disasters - 28 years ago.  Now, the reason he states this is because Jimmy gave a [...]

Solidarity

I received this email from a politician I know well and respect.  So, I take it as being sincere:
There are less than eight months until the election, an election that will decide the next President of the United States. The person elected will be the president of all Americans, not just the Democrats or the [...]

Change You Deserve?

Posted by Moonage on 13 May 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, Conspiracy Theories, Humor, Idiot of the day, National Politics

Republican leadership decided that since so many people are making fun of the over-abuse of the word “change” in this year’s elections, they’d go with a new slogan themselves.  So, not to be outdone by the Dems, they rolled out “Change You Deserve!”  The Dems were quick to point out that the makers of Effexor [...]

That pesky “Bush is beholden to oil” thing

Posted by Moonage on 12 May 2008 | Tagged as: Oil Policy, Oil Supply, Political Correctness

It’s making the rounds again as the Dems warm up for the fall.  Obama’s already testing it.  Clinton has worn it out already.  Several have already blamed the price of gas on Bush, and most have offered their solutions to the Bush problem.  When you listen to them make those arguments, remember one thing:

That’s the [...]

Myanmar and the United Nations disaster

Posted by Moonage on 09 May 2008 | Tagged as: International Issues, International Politics

A big storm blew into Myanmar last week.  An even bigger storm is brewing.  So far, 62,000 people are either dead or missing.  Nearly 1,000,000 are homeless.  The United Nations, along with the United States, rushed to provide food for the homeless.  The Myanmar ruling junta confiscated it.
Now, this is where I get pissy.  The [...]

Obama wants to talk to his enemies

Posted by Moonage on 07 May 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race

Barack Obama laid an egg last night ( From Hotair ):
The other side can label and name-call all they want, but I trust the American people to recognize that it is not surrender to end the war in Iraq so that we can rebuild our military and go after Al Qaida’s leaders.
I trust the American [...]

Hillary’s foreign oil strategy?

Posted by Moonage on 06 May 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, Oil Policy, Oil Supply

This folks, is nuts:
“We’re going to go right at OPEC,” Clinton said, on a last-minute campaign swing ahead of Tuesday’s Indiana and North Carolina primary clashes against her Democratic rival Barack Obama.
“They can no longer be a cartel, a monopoly that get together once every couple of months in some conference room in some plush [...]
