Jury acquits Jose Luis Nazario

Posted by Moonage on 29 Aug 2008 | Tagged as: Political Correctness

This to me is one of the biggest legal travesties I’ve witnessed in a long time.  Jose Luis Nazario served his country in the marines.  He saw basically hand to hand combat.  He got shot at.  He shot at others.  He did all the things normally expected during live combat in a war where the [...]

Stuck on Stupid: Nancy Pelosi

Posted by Moonage on 19 Jun 2008 | Tagged as: Energy Policy, Legislative Process, National Politics

And by stuck, I do mean stuck.  Nancy Pelosi has agreed to take into consideration four bills aimed at energy relief next week.  One item she absolutely will not even debate or discuss is offshore drilling.  Her logic?  Get this:
Pelosi reiterated her position that Republican calls for more offshore drilling represent another chapter in a [...]

Perspectives, California v Iraq

Posted by Moonage on 24 Mar 2008 | Tagged as: Fun with Numbers

A lot is being made over another milestone in Iraq.  The 4,000th US soldier died since the war started in 2003.   That’s five years.  That’s about 800 a year.  That’s a lot.  But, not much is being made over the perspective of this.  For instance, about 2,000 people were killed in 2006 ( the most [...]

The Berkeley City Council embarasses me

Posted by Moonage on 31 Jan 2008 | Tagged as: Idiot of the day, Political Correctness

Here’s my early morning list of the jerks of the day:

Tom Bates, Mayor
Calvin Fong
Linda Maio
Darryl Moore
Maxwell Anderson
Dona Spring
Laurie Capitelli
Betty Olds
Kriss Worthington
Gordon Wozniak

They all get it for abusing their position as a representative FOR Berkeley in order to embarass the rest of the country, which they do not represent.
If Berkeley feels so compelled to speak on [...]

Whoopi doesn’t seem to think much of the South

Posted by Moonage on 05 Sep 2007 | Tagged as: Idiot of the day, People, Political Correctness, The Media

Whoopi Goldberg replaced Rosie Odonnell on The View.  Rosie being gone is a good thing because Rosie seemed to rely on rhetoric, stupidity, and generalizations as a basis for most of “the views”.  However, Whoopi’s been known to drop some stupid bombs of her own in the past.  Apparently not much has changed by replacing [...]

California to ditch winner-take-all electoral system?

Posted by Moonage on 25 Aug 2007 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, Government, Politics, US Regional Politics

In 2000, George W. Bush won the electoral college.  He however, lost the popular vote.  The election was so close that Al Gore challenged one state in an effort to change the outcome of the election.  The only reason it was that close was because Gore focused on a hand full of huge electoral prizes [...]

Talk about a no-win election

Posted by Moonage on 08 Jul 2007 | Tagged as: US Regional Politics

I really don’t get too terribly involved in local elections outside of my region, but this one should be fun to watch if it materializes:
Cindy Sheehan, the soldier’s mother who galvanized the anti-war movement, said Sunday that she plans to seek House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s congressional seat unless she introduces articles of impeachment against President [...]

John Kerry doing it again

Posted by Moonage on 31 Oct 2006 | Tagged as: National Politics

In 2004, President Bush’s ratings were totally in the basement. John Kerry was trashing Bush in the polls, and the media was laughing at Bush’s ineptitude. John Kerry then went to war with some former Vietnam vets that he absolutely would not get over. He hounded and hounded and hounded that one [...]

Majority voters determine how smart everyone else is?

Posted by Moonage on 19 Oct 2006 | Tagged as: Opinions

Morgan Quitno Press released this list of the “smartest states” list. Without further ado, here it is, color coded to make it more fun to play with:

1
Vermont

Looks kinda grim for all those people who mocked the “Al Gore voters are smarter than Bush voters” thingy from the past. However, Morgan Quitno has kept [...]
