Fresh Start

I got up at 0700, went outside, washed both the Little Black Truck and my Old Bug, then scrubbed down the topsides of Petey the Pop-Up. After all that, I came in to have a bite to eat and read the newspaper, and what do I find, but some very sensible words about pleasure bicyclists polluting the roads (and they're getting mowed down in great numbers around here because of their idiocy). Those words were written by a very good friend of mine, Ed Hausafus, scroll down in the letter stack.

Feeling good, I had Fox News on, and they were trying to harsh my mellow with incessant babbling about the meaningless Iowa "Straw Poll", but then they broke away to cover TX Gov. Rick Perry's toss of the Stetson into the political ring.

Perry's speech did about a 90% job of channeling Reagan's "Morning in America" political ad. He firmly laid out that he is THE "Jobs" candidate, with TX having created 40% of all the new jobs created nationally since 2009. He then promised to IMMEDIATELY repeal ObamaCare if elected.

I think we have a candidate for President who will actually take immediate, effective and correct steps to shrink the size of Government.

The Un-Do President. Sign up here.

It's about time.

If this were Thailand...

...we'd be about to dissolve the Democratic Party, according to this AssPress article.

An election Commission with teeth, and the power of a REAL "nuclear option": run a corrupt party, your party goes away.

Wow, just Wow!

Of course, politics "American Style" would totally go away, as ALL of our political parties deal from the bottom of the deck. It just happens to be an accident of our historical calendar that the Democrats are dealing a worse game right now. Yeah, right, but I TRIED to be fair, heheheheh.

Quote of the Day

...right in the neighborhood, too, from Random Nuclear Strikes:

The religious right needs to be shuffled into the dustbin of history where they can just talk amongst themselves about how righteous they are for abstaining from (the) possession (of) an imagination.

THAT'S a zinger. Yessir.

I wouldn't put them all in the dustbin, but maybe build them a library, with a good coffee machine, where they can go to queue up, drink coffee, and wait for one of the six or seven books they DO approve of to become available for reading.

I won't boot anyone who can sing "Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition"....

That reminds me, it's time to take that shopping bag full of old Analogs down to the Rivrsis.
