Walk Tall


I’ve been sitting on this one for a few days, unsure if I should write about it or not. Probably because it involves a little bit of navel gazing, which I am not a big fan of, but sometimes it needs to be done, and maybe there’s a lesson that can be learned, or even taught from it. Anyway, here goes nothing.

The other day, I had a longtime friend of mine (who happens to be Canadian, as it were) ask me my opinion of the recent happenings with Arlen Specter. My friend referred to him as “long time Republican guy” or something like that.

I Don’t Give a Damn About Arlen Specter


Alright.

So, everybody is up in arms over Arlen Specter. I suppose that’s a predictable reaction, but let’s be honest here. We need to get our priorities straight, and we also need to cut through the BS, here.

While I do understand the dismay of Senator Specter leaving from the standpoint of it giving the Democrats a 60-seat majority, which would essentially give President Obama the final piece of the puzzle he needs to be the fascist he truly is, there’s nothing we can do about it, and were going to have to weather the storm and shake this off. It’s going to be scary, and times are going to be tough, but we will survive this. We always do.

AIG bonuses: A teachable moment


You know, I wish I wasn’t able to be surprised so much by ignorance these days, but sadly, the amount of ignorance on this planet keeps growing. Now, that being said, I myself am far from a genius; however, I pride myself on being able to see past the end of my nose.

Today, everybody seems to be all bent out of shape about the AIG bonuses. When you look at it in reality, it’s quite laughable. Here’s why:

RNC Random Thoughts: Day 1 - Oh Noes, It’s Raining!


This is about right. I wait all week for the Republican Convention, and what happens? It rains in NOLA, the convention is cut short, and the whole world stops spinning.

Alright, look. I know it’s more than just rain, but is this what we have come to now? Have we saddled ourselves with so much undeserved “white guilt” that we need national coverage on every channel everytime it spits in New Orleans? Why must the whole world stop for this? I just don’t get it.

Let me be clear. I don’t want anyone to get hurt. I don’t want anyone to die. But do I really need to see a soaking wet Sheperd Smith standing out in the rain going, “Yeah, it sure is windy out here Megyn!” for 17 straight hours?
No thanks. I’ll pass. I mean, what do you people want me to do about it? It’s kind of morbid really. Perhaps I should sit glued to the TV and repeatedly ask “Did NOLA sink yet? Did NOLA sink yet?”
