friday queue cleaning–the jesees

It seems that over the past week, there have been a lot of Jesees in the news.  First of all, there is news that Jesee Ventura may run against Al Franken and Norm Coleman for the Senate seat in Minnesota.  Franken v Coleman should be, ummmm, entertaining, if nothing else.
But, it’s the other 2 Jesses [...]

friday queue cleaning–may 30,2008

And the Friday queue clean is back after a brief hiatus.  Well, sort of.  I’ve been kinda bored with the news over the past few weeks, and don’t really feel like commenting.  It’s been quite repetitive, to be honest.  It’s probablly because it is an election year.  So, the past 3 weeks in review:
Hillary Clinton [...]

those idiot kentuckians

Hillary Clinton easily defeated Barack Obama in the Kentucky primary yesterday.  I have found it interesting reading some of the “spin” on the outcome.  Many seem quite upset over the audacity of the folks in the commonwealth to dare to vote for Clinton.
Somehow, it was okay for California and New York to elect Clinton.  It [...]

friday queue cleaning: may 9, 2008

I don’t have any links to Tuesday’s results.  In fact, I’m not sure what the final tally in Indiana was (I never did find a “Final Results” kind of story).  But, Clinton is pretty much done.  Superdelegates are trickling away from her.  She is not mathematically eliminated yet, but the math is now a pretty [...]

paper, rock, sisscors, politics

One of the weird things about the Presidential election is that of the three major candidates (though it seems that we may in fact be down to 2 now) had a “weakness” that shouldn’t really be a weakness.  John McCain is old.  Hillary Clinton is a woman.  Barack Obama is black.  None of these things [...]

For those of you who have ever gotten the email from the deposed prince of the Congo, you will find this amusing.

Rush Limbaugh has clearly lost it.  Riots in Denver.  Remember, though, he’s not trying to encite you to riot, he’s just reminding you that it is your patriotic duty to do so.

It’s been a [...]

friday queue cleaning: april 25

Lots of links in the queue this week–let’s get to it:
____________________________________________________________
With the Pennsylvania primary this week, there is a lot of election stuff out there.  And, given that I am just now getting around to mention it, one could say that I was quite underwhelmed by the even.  Essentially, we are at the same place [...]

the signs come down

The church sign linking Obama and Osama has come down.  And, according to the story, it turns out that, despite “Pastor” Boyd’s claims, the sign was both politically (see yesterday’s post) and racially motivated.
His name is so close to Osama I feeling (sic) might be Islamic therefore he doesn’t recognize Christ . . .
Translation:  [...]

my gun’s better than your gun

So, last week, I started a post by saying, “The only thing I’m going to say about Obama’s remarks is . . .”  Well, I lied.
One thing I’ve noticed is that many lefties and leaning-lefties have rushed to interpret Obama’s remarks in such a way to prove that they are not in fact “elitist.”  And, [...]

reason 302012 why i hate church signs

Okay, so it’s not church signs I hate.  But, I don’t like the ones where that you can change to put supposedly “clever” messages on it.  Usually, these involve some clever wordplay where “Son” and “Sun” are involved.  It’s quite cheesy, but I suppose it’s harlmess.
And honestly, I suppose I could live with it if [...]

d’oh-bama

Okay, so the title was terrible.  I’m sorry.  I saw “McAin’t” the other day, so I thought I would join in on the fun.
All I’m going to say about Obama’s recent guns/God comment is this;  One of the reasons that Obama appealed to me is that I thought that he would be able to at [...]

friday queue cleaning

So this week, I took a lighter approach with the blog.  So, the queue is quite full. So . . .

Global warming.  I can’t keep up with it.  First, it’s over.  Then, it’s not over.  Then, it’s going to make us into cannibals.  Now, it seems that it’s been over for nearly 10 years?  Except [...]

friday queue cleaning

A few days ago, I got hooked up with del.icio.us, which is a bookmarking site.  It’s very similar to the bookmark feature on your browser, but it’s got a few extras.  One of which is that wordpress has a feature that allows me to sync my bookmarks with my blog.  So basically, I go to [...]

does anyone really believe this?

It’s something I’ve seen several times over the past few days.  With the Democratic candidates in a near deadlock right now, somehow, for some reason, I have seen this “compromise” proposal that the convention nominate Al Gore for president.  It seems really odd to me for several reasons.
One is that it would simply undermine the [...]

it’s full circle

Okay, so this isn’t the least likely scenario I’ve ever heard, but it’s up there.  With Texas holding an open primary, Rush Limbaugh has encouraged his listeners to cross over and vote for Hillary Clinton in today’s primary.  Now granted, this isn’t on a scale with someone like James Dobson urging his camp do do [...]
