Don't like Republicans so vote Democrat?

A funny thought occurred to me as I lay awake trying to sleep. A lot of people are very mad (justly so in my opinion) at the Republicans for the way they ruled over the last eight years.

So in consequence they are voting Democrat now.

But this just does not make any sense. We have Republicans acting like Democrats, and you hate them for it, so you vote Democrat?
How were Republicans like Democrats? Let us enumerate:

Reckless foreign wars? Republicans, yes. Democrats, yes.　(You dems don't forget Somolia, Sudan, Yugoslavia, Haiti, Aｆgｈanistan, Iraq all attacked or invaded during President Clinton's terms.And of course the real big one, Vietnam, was a dem fiasco.

Sexual scandals? Repubs yes. Dems, yes. (Barney Frank's Home Porno Emporium and Brothel, anyone?)

Political corruption? Repubs, yes. Dems, ha ha ha ha ha. Far too many to number.

Huge spending? Repubs yes, in spades. Dems, let us whisper just one name, Obama.

My Book

My book is coming along nicely. Some 70,000 words and closing in on the finale. Another month? I had hoped to finish it by now, but events intervened. The end is near!

Special Olympics President

I have finally figured out how to peg President Obama. Callow.

The occasional rude remark, said in error, can be forgotten. But the current president just makes one after another.

Recall the finger-to-cheek given to Hillary and McCain? So subtle! Any thirteen-year-old knows that gesture, and any parent or teacher knows how to squelch that kind of contempt.

I guess that Obama was just badly brought up and never learned how to act like an adult.

Callow.

Blago now Obama next?

Ding dong the witch is dead!

Which old witch?

Blagojevich.


Oh, joy. One of the blood-suckers is down. Who is next? The Mayor of Chicago? The President of the United States of America?

All these rotten Illinois pols need a good thorough reaming out by the FBI. Can ANYTHING good come out of Chicago politics?

Who benefits, Rich or Poor

William Briggs posts an excellent analysis of the growth of government spending, and asks who benefits. Well worth a read, and the comments are useful too. Click on the title above.

GM Bailout

Have not posted in a long while, busy writing a story. My kids like it anyway...


So GM wants a bailout. Well. Of course they do.

But that would just lead to more of the same same. What GM really needs is to go belly-up. Then they can reorganise, dump, or at least curb the union, and maybe make cars that can compete on price with the imports.

It is the union that is killing the US car makers. No honest person can deny that.

But we have elected a socialist president and have a socialist congress. So, expect the gov to fork over big cash in exchange for power over the industry.

Return of the Ice Age?

Are we readying for a return to the glacial age?

Walk down any city street and tell me the typical modern woman doesn't look a lot like this:

I suspect the cooling is on and the human race is getting ready. All us skinnies better move south or prepare for extinction. It"s in our genes.

Is Sarah Palin a Lawyer?

Wiki doesn't mention a law degree, just journalism. Hmm.

Obama and Biden are lawyers.

McCain? Have to check. (Checked. Nope)

Be nice to have a no-lawyer ticket, wouldn't it.

Russia, Georgia, Israel?

Just a weird thought I had. Nobody is going to put out any effort to save Georgia.

Who could? Europe is a genderless dog. The US has other things going on (sorry Georgia, too busy right now, call back in 09).

But Israel, now. Ready for war? Check.
Ready for a long-distance air war? Check.
Experienced against Russian equipment? Check.
Reasons to dislike Russia? Check.

OK it is just a fantasy. Israel can't really afford to be distracted right now. But I wish, I wish...

Soros at it again?

Follow the link. Now who do we know, a speculator, who doesn't mind impoverishing whole countries, who has an abiding hatred of conservatives and is ready spend millions in search of an electoral victory for Democrats?

George Soros, of course. A man wanted in Europe, hated in Asia, sole cause of vast misery (not an exaggeration). A man who simply does not care how much pain he causes, if it advanced global socialism, and of course his own pocketbook.

My bet is the high gas prices are due at least in part on Soros and his cronies speculating in oil, hoping to cause both their own enrichment and a Democrat victory.
