Conservatives & Ron Paul Bot Cost GOP House Seat In LA Last Night
2008-05-05 04:02:00 WAS JENKINS IMMIGRATION POSITION A LOSER?Once again sore-headed LOOSER conservatives have triumphed. Last night, in Louisiana, Republican turned Independent, Ashley Casey, cost the Republicans yet another house seat. If her votes had gone to GOP candidate, Woody Jenkins, Jenkins would have had 50,459 votes to Democrat default winner, "Don" Cazayoux, who had an unofficial 49,702. I don't know if the 757 vote difference would have been enough to avoid a run-off, but it is enough to determine these outcast conservatives can do serious damage to the GOP. There's more: Randall T. Hayes, who received 402 votes is ... More About: House , Ron Paul , Seat , Cost , Night
Cute (No, Bad) Kitten Day
2008-05-04 06:31:00 SATURDAY, MAY 3Sometimes Miss Beverly Sills is just plain cute. The worst of it is the little stinker knows she is cute. Then, there are times (most of the time) she is so darn naughty, it is still cute! Today has been one of those days. I pulled her out of the big jade plant 3 times. The third time she decided to try and bit me. That did not work. She’s been running around the condo like a critter on jet fuel. Okay it’s cute.

Stealth Conservatives, Not Republican, Against the GOP
2008-05-04 06:21:00 THEY BETRAY THEIR “CONSERVATIVE” IDEALSI think there is this false perception that I do not like conservatives, and have something against them. In a way that is true. I am conservative. The only change I’ve been through in about 20 years of political evolution is the fact that I am now against the death penalty simply because I am so staunchly pro-life. It is rather ludicrous to be against abortion, but yet want to put criminals to death. It just doesn’t work. Other than that, I am as conservative (maybe a little more) as I was when Reagan was ...

If Chuck Baldwin Were Elected POTUS
2008-05-03 19:02:00 THE 'TRUE' CONSERVATIVE AGENDAFrom Border Fire Report (for what it’s worth) I keep telling you there are many conservatives who are not Republican. These are the individuals who have been doing all the agitating – and we’re not talking Ron Paul Bots. There is a division in the conservative ranks between libertarians, Constitution, and the new conservative party. The problem is these are the yahoos who basically cost the GOP the majority in the House and Senate in 2006. If we aren't careful and marginalize them, this will happen, once again, and could cost John McCain the election. They ... More About: Chuck

Let’s just say ML proves my theory about Episcopalians being good people!This Episcopalian spent the afternoon trying to shake down local business owners – for gift certificates for the annual church raffle.

Jose Canseco Victim of Personal Stupidity, High Taxes, Not Economy
2008-05-03 05:20:00 MALKIN BLOWS THIS ONE!"..."Let's say it's $35 million ... you're paying the government 41 percent. That leaves you with about $17 or $18 million...."Jose Canseco blames much of his financial failure on the high costs of taxes and coughing up something like 41% of his income to the government! Our anti-McCain, anti-Bush conservatives have blown it this time. Jose Canseco should be the picture boy for lowering taxes, not the economy. Instead Malkin is treating us to one of her dumbest commentaries ever. She is using Jose Canseco’s defaulting on his mortgage as proof the economy is so ...

Another China Syndrome Looming?
2008-05-03 04:59:00 BABIES ARE DYINGIt is called Enterovirus 71 (EV71) So far a few cases have emerged in Malaysia. There are a number of cases in Singapore and quite a few in China . One of the big problems is the fact that we have no idea how serious the disease actually is. We're dealing with China, remember? To date (allegedly) 21 young children have died and around 3,000 others have come down with the intestinal virus known locally as Hand, foot, and mouth disease.

Cat Blogger Needs Help
2008-05-03 02:10:00 AUCTION FOR CAT-BLOGGER!A few weeks ago cat blogger Laura lost everything but her three wonderful kitties in a fire. Because of some absolutely asinine catch-22 she is living day by day. The great people who run the Cat Blogsphere have set up an auction for she and the kitties. They are living with Laura's parents, but need to get out on their own. I really like the cat people. They are so very kind and understanding.

WARNING: Blogger Has Fallen Off Genealogy Wagon and Can’t Quit
2008-05-02 06:39:00 THURSDAY, MAY 1It was bound to happen. I’ve been avoiding the subject for about 3 years, ignoring my genealogy addiction, completely on the wagon. Last night the worst possible thing happened. I discovered I could tinker into ancestry.com and recreate my long-lost charts online and not worry about losing them every time I have a crash.

Dems May Reap What GOP Sewed?
2008-05-02 06:32:00 HOW BAD ARE THINGS?Once again the voices of doom are declaring the GOP dead and buried. According to the most recent WSJ poll, evidently the GOP isn’t well favored by voters this year – or are they? The eternals are here. This is a poll for Registered Voters and not Likely Voters. Cindy McCain is not being treated decently by the liberal media, I think. So what if she is rich. John Kerry’s wife was worth a fortune and the liberal press ignored it. This woman, worthy of being a First Lady, is being treated horribly by liberal ...

They are rationing rice in Israel. (same way as here) Napal is cutting off exports of grain. People in underdeveloped countries are truly suffering.

It is possible the man has a track record of not telling the truth. Last September BLM officials informed Michael Chertoff that the proposed border fence would cause irreparable damage to the fragile San Pedro aquifer and the Riparian sanctuary. Evidently Chertoff LIED about the information the BLM gave to him and just went on as planned, ignoring the Constitution of the US. “…Yet when U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael ...
