Palin: What Will They Say Next?

October 30th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Not qualified.
Not ready.
Fatal cancer.
A problem. Out of her league. My cringe reflex is exhuasted.
Diva.
Whack job.
…and that’s just what REPUBLICANS are saying about her. I can hardly contain my glee.

Robbery In Kewanee!

October 28th, 2008 · No Comments

Area gas prices I’ve seen today: $2.19 in Bartonville. $2.25 all over Peoria. $2.34 in Canton. $2.33 in Chillicothe.
Gas price in Kewanee? $2.68.
Somebody needs to go to jail. Robbery is a crime.

More Guns, We Really Need More Guns!

October 27th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Unlike the previous two stories, this one focuses on an accidental shooting. But there still needs to be a bunch of people put away for life for the one they took in this incident…that of an EIGHT year old. And that makes this story easily the most tragic of all.
We don’t let kids vote [...]

More Guns, We Still Need More Guns!

October 27th, 2008 · No Comments

Apparently, these killers, unlike those that were targeting Senator Obama, didn’t have many plans, just wanted to make a few random killings using guns. Sick.

More Guns, We Need More Guns!

October 27th, 2008 · No Comments

Two neo-Nazi, skinhead, neo-cons see their plot to kill Senator Obama foiled. Thankfully.
But these two clowns had even bigger plans than that. Again, thankfully, these a’holes were caught before lives were lost due to guns.

Defeating The Purpose

October 24th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Many folks have purchased “flex fuel” vehicles in recent years, so they could use E85 – a viable alternative to regular or E10 fuel. The beauty in E85 is that it is always sold…or at least ALMOST always…cheaper than other fuels.
But to be really effective, E85 needs to be 20% or more less than [...]

The Choice Will Be Tough

October 24th, 2008 · 3 Comments

Well, far righties that won’t ever vote for Obama, you’ve got a choice to make here.
You have two candidates who don’t agree on much of anything…be it abortion, gay marriage, letting states decide vs. amending the constitution…they have differences on almost every issue.
So…who ARE you voting for…McCain or Palin?

…THE #1 reason this woman CANNOT get close to the White House.
Palin Says Election Results Rests In god’s Hands
Read the whole story, it talks about her 20 minute interview with James Dobson in which her true zealotry and lunacy came out.
F’ing yikes.

Least Surprising Story Placement of the Weekend

October 20th, 2008 · 2 Comments

I fired up my computer Sunday morning to see on CNN, MSNBC, Yahoo! News, Comcast, the Minneapolis StarTribune, and virtually every other website I visited yesterday that Colin Powell had earlier in the day endorsed Barack Obama for President. Obviously, a big, big story. One of the key figures in the Bush administration endorsing “the [...]

[] Hell yes.
[] He hasn’t been fired yet, what the hell is the holdup?
[] The Bears suck no matter what the Vikings do.

McCain Goes Green

October 15th, 2008 · 1 Comment

…by recycling speeches.
But that wasn’t the unbelievable part. The unbelievable part is the McCain staffers on Morning Joe, CNN, and Fox this very morning talking about this “wonderful new stump speech”.
Dare I say…amazing.

Perspective

October 11th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Late on a Saturday night, I’m thinking about the way the GOP has been acting for the past two weeks, and I just want to make sure I have this right:
1. Barack Obama’s connection to Saddam Hussien is the fact his middle name is the same as Saddam’s surname.
Donald Rumsfeld’s connection to Saddam is that [...]

Lots Of Empty Seats…From What I Can Tell

October 11th, 2008 · 2 Comments

I started to give up on NASCAR, or more appropriately NAZICAR, a couple of seasons back, and haven’t watched more than 100 laps of racing all year to this point. Out of about 12,000 or so.
Tonight, I’m whipping through the dial looking for more college football and I see they’re running at Lowe’s Motor [...]

Is Lee County, FL Sheriff Mike Scott Still On The Job? Why? UPDATED

October 11th, 2008 · 25 Comments

View Sheriff Mike Scott in action
It’s been five days now since a Florida Sheriff appeared onstage, while in uniform and on duty, and violated U.S. Law (The Hatch Act) in publicly endorsing a political candidate.
Is he still on the job? Has he been properly suspended while under investigation? Inquiring minds, and people who aren’t [...]

If This Was Said By Don Imus, He’d Have Lost His Job Already

October 11th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Two morons in Minnesota (my gosh, there are suddenly lots of morons in my home state) think that Magic Johnson has “faked AIDS”.
Sadly, these two morons, or as our friend Reno/PostSim says “douchenozzles” have a radio talk show. Unbelievable.

Gophers-Illini – Wow!

October 11th, 2008 · No Comments

Surprising 1st half for the Gophs. Leading the mighty Illini 7-3? I’m happy with that. No, I’m thrilled with that. But the Illini will win. Minnesota is getting better, but they’re not good enough to beat the Illini today. If they do, I’ll be happy to be wrong.
Two things, however, bugged me. One minor, [...]

Amazing: McCain Booed For A Moment of Decency

October 10th, 2008 · 5 Comments

I’m ashamed to admit I’m from the same state as the people in this story.
Just read this excerpt:
“I don’t trust Obama,” a woman said. “I have read about him. He’s an Arab.”
McCain shook his head in disagreement, and said:
“No, ma’am. He’s a decent, family man, a citizen that I just happen to have disagreements [...]

Amazing Break From Reality

Amazing Memory Loss

October 10th, 2008 · 1 Comment

While watching “Morning Joe” this morning, host Joe Scarborough started screaming and whining about how “George W. Bush is the most viciously attacked President in history. No president has taken the kind of abuse from his own countrymen as George W. Bush.”
Amazing. Apparently, Mr. Scarborough wasn’t in the country, or is suffering from amnesia, for [...]

What in the HELL has happened to John McCain?!?!?!

October 6th, 2008 · 5 Comments

From the AP today, emphasis added by me:
Adopting an aggressive tone on the eve of their second debate of the season, the Republican presidential candidate criticized Obama’s ties to Chicago, his legislative record and even his pair of best-selling memoirs.
McCain, speaking about the financial crisis, took offense at Obama’s accusation that McCain opposed regulation that [...]

How Can This Be Justified?

October 5th, 2008 · 11 Comments

So, when a pastor gets up in a pulpit and breaks U.S. Law to endorse a candidate, and knows he’s doing it, how can christians justify this behavior from their clergy?
How come christians aren’t listening to one of their own, who says it’s wrong to endorse from the pulpit and doesn’t do it in [...]

I Don’t Care That They Haven’t Beaten Anybody Yet

October 4th, 2008 · No Comments

After last season’s debacle, the fact that the Minnesota Gophers are 5-1 against ANYbody is a huge leap forward. And today, they won a conference game, the first in Tim Brewster’s regime, which started with a thud last year’s 1-11, 0-8 in the Big 10 embarrassment.
I didn’t think this Brewster guy had a clue, [...]

Anybody Looking For A Driver’s Ed Teacher?

October 4th, 2008 · No Comments

Because I think instruction around here is getting pretty lax.
If you are a young driver (or, apparently most any driver educated in Illinois), please note:
1. When driving at night on a hilly country road, it is customary, even favorable, to dim your lights before you crest a hill when you can obviously see the [...]
