Holding My Nose, I Defend Hillary Clinton
2008-05-31 06:28:00 PINK POLKADOT PIGS FLYThe thing I dislike most about Barack Obama is the fact that he’s made me defend Hillary Clinton . This is one of the last things in the world I would expect to be doing, right up there with watching pink and lavender polka-dotted pigs flying.There are some women who consider Hillary Clinton’s run for the Rose Garden something akin to a second magical mystical mystery tour. There are those who all her efforts mythological. To that I say Bull! Magic has nothing to do with it. There’s nothing mythological about it. We’re watching a very ... More About: Nose , Holding
Why I Never Seem To Be Able To Accomplish Anything
2008-05-30 06:02:00 THURSDAY, MAY 29The following dramatic photos, taken this afternoon, will provide The Pink Flamingo reader with evidence as to why I am never able to accomplish anything! The working conditions with which I must deal are deplorable. My working associates annoying and are only interested in having a good time. They have no respect for my work-space. Nothing is sacred to them. There is a vast inter-species rivalry that sometimes breaks out in open hostility. I am caught in the middle. No one should be forced to deal with conditions like this. No cats or poodles were injured in ...
Conservatives Mistreating Bush & the McClellan Betrayal
2008-05-30 05:14:00 IT WILL HAUNT THEMI think one of the saddest things I’ve seen in quite awhile is this book by Scott McClellan. It is tragic. There is no happy ending for this story, none. Scott McClellan, unless he becomes a vast left wing nut, is finished. He has betrayed people who were good and decent to him. He’s burned his Republican bridges, but from what I hear from Michael Medved’s broadcasts, his mother detests GWB and the GOP, has gone third party. His father is a disbarred Texas attorney. I am sick and tired of Republicans Bush -bashing. Once again we ... More About: Conservatives , Betrayal
How Today's Conservative Leaders Betrayed Ronald Reagan
2008-05-30 04:27:00 CONSERVATIVES AGAINST REAGAN''It is unlikely that the Reagan era will prove to be the historic change in the direction of America that we have sought.'' Edwin J. Feulner Jr., president of the Heritage Foundation,1985.John McCain and George W. Bush should be honored to be in such august company as Ronald Reagan . Why? While Reagan was President, contrary to the lies that are being told today by Richard Viguerie and World Net Daily, Viguerie and fellow conservative leaders Howard Phillips and Paul Weyrich did their very best to undermine and bully him. Now though, they protray themselves as ... More About: Today , Conservative , Leaders
The Summer Monsoons Have Begun!
2008-05-29 04:57:00 WEDNESDAY, MAY 28 It rained, hard, all afternoon –off and on. The best indicator is a dip in the drive where a large puddle always forms. If the one next to the museum is over halfway across the driveway, we’ve had a good rain. When the smaller puddle on the other side meets – wonderful! We had lightening and thunder. Every time there is a clap of thunder Rumsfeld runs around the condo and yaps. After a couple of circuits he settles down, then there’s another clap, and we’re off again, over and over as long as the storm ... More About: Summer
Why Is Obama Willing to Meet with Ahmadinejad But Not Petraeus?
2008-05-29 01:36:00 THE OBAMASSIAH AND IRAQOnce upon a time, (okay it was about 870 days or so ago) in a galaxy far, far away, Barack Obama visited Iraq. He was there for two days. He saw nothing that made him change his opinion that the US needed to pull out of Iraq. The day after he left President Bush announced the “serge”. Who would’a guessed?What do you do when you have a person running for President of the United States who doesn’t have either the courage to visit the our current battlefield or the inclination to do so. ...

For the 2nd District NM Congressional Race – C. Earl Greer
2008-05-28 07:38:00 TUESDAY, MAY 27THE PINK FLAMINGO’S (local) 1ST ENDORSEMENTI like what I see with C. Earl Greer. Frankly, he has a decent immigration policy that is not trying to out Tancredo everyone else in the race. The other candidates have rather extreme anti-immigration policies which are a proven loser in a general election. I have a friend who knows Greer and thinks he’s a decent person, an appropriate Republican. He has the monster boots of the late Joe Skeen (my friend Lisa’s dad) to fill.

What is Dominionism and How Does It Damage John McCain?

"When someone tries to undermine the commitment to Jehovah which is fundamental to the civil order of a godly state--then that person needs to be restrained by the magistrate...those who will not acknowledge Jehovah as the ultimate authority behind the civil law code which the magistrate is enforcing would be punished and repressed,"….”From the SPLC “…Rushdoony, whose book is revered by Reconstructionists as their foundational document, ...

Can Bob Barr Damage John McCain?
2008-05-27 18:21:00 OR IS IT SOMETHING ELSE?Is Bob Barr ’s Libertarian Party nomination the Kiss of Death for John McCain’s Presidential efforts or is the impact of his nomination greatly exaggerated? I’m beginning to wonder if it might just be the latter. In 2004, Libertarian candidate Michael Badnarik pulled in less than 400,000 nationally. Granted Badnarik was a poor candidate. That same year, Constitution Party candidate Michael Peroutka did a little less than 150,000 votes. Ralph Nader came in third with about 465,000 votes. In 2000 the combined candidacies of Pat Buchanan (Reform), Harry Browne (Libertarian) and Howard Phillips (Constitution) brought in ... More About: John McCain , Damage

I’ve not done a Memorial Day spew. I was going to, and was sidetracked by other things beyond my control. This has been a weird weekend, full of medial traumas. The third occurred this afternoon.

The Pink Flamingo has been hinting at this for some time. Grizzly Groundswell has more! “…The fact that Obama said this after promising explicitly that no campaign-related activity would take place during his appearance at the United Church of Christ shows that he doesn’t have much of a conscience at all.

Events Have Unintended Consequences, Even Natural Ones
2008-05-27 07:28:00 THE CHINA SYNDROMEI think maybe we’ve not paid enough attention to the deadly earthquake that hit China a few weeks ago. It has the potential to be China’s Katrina, in more ways in one. It is entirely possible this quake will end up shaking more than the earth. It could be a pre-curser to an entire societal evolution. One telling aspect is the way the media was allowed to cover the quake.

The Kitten Died This Afternoon

She was adapting. Her diarrhea was starting to solidify. She was eating. The odd thing is ALL of my carport kitties have disappeared. I’m furious. I’m afraid something has happened to them. I just noticed that most of the Meow Mix has been eaten. Maybe Kay is right, there’s so much activity here, they are just scared. FAMILY MEDICAL TRAUMASRachel (my niece) finally called. ...

I’d probably only link to it in the evening, but it brings up something I was going to write about yesterday but was sidetracked. Mentioned is the fact that travel is lighter than usual this Memorial Day. Where I am in New Mexico I WISH! Traffic is not down. Fact is, things are booming a little in Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico when it comes to oil. There is so much money flying around here it is annoying. Yesterday I went in town ...

A Day of Miracles
2008-05-25 07:49:00 SATURDAY, MAY 24Early this morning, around 1AM Memphis time my niece was a passenger in a car that was broadsided head-on at an intersection. It flipped over and rolled, ending up on its roof. Laura’s leg went through the window, severing the femoral artery. By the time EMS arrived on scene she was in and out of consciousness. By the time my sister arrived at the ER they told her it was extremely bad. She lost quite a bit of blood. 27 stitches later Laura is home, hopped up on pain pills, holding court with her friends.

2008-05-24 07:41:00 GETTING RID OF THE CLINTONSYesterday, as I was driving down to Alamo to see Indiana Jones, I was listening to FOX on XM. A piece came up about Senator Kennedy being unable to fulfill his obligation to deliver an address at graduation celebrations at Wellesley College, Hillary Clinton’s Alma Mater. Senator Kennedy has requested that Barack Obama deliver the address for him. Why not ask Hillary Clinton? She is without a doubt Wellesley’s most famous graduate.

Maybe I’m just being nostalgic for the Soviet Union and the stability (yes stability) of the balance of power between the two nations. The Soviets were a "fun" enemies.
