I am certain that GM executives are having panic attacks over the thought of the bike riding, Prius loving crowd ignoring their automobiles. This is akin to the bloggers at Polipundit.com boycotting salsa products. And other random thoughts of the day.
Fox News is biased towards the right. So what? ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC and PBS all hold a left bias. They bill themselves as impartial as well.
Some organization called Diago and the hotline has a poll on the GOP primary that is the result of 250 interviews with Republicans. Is it me or the bar very low these days for what passes as acceptable scientific polling data?
Gorby does not like the United States. Well, Reagan was responsible for taking the Soviet Union away from him. I guess he is harboring some residual bitterness. Calm down, have a glass of Vodka!
I love that democracy in Russia. Who remembers Bush saying, “I looked in his eyes. I trust him”, in regards to Putin? George W. Bush sure is a swell judge of character. Although I will say he did get his Supreme Court nominees correct, at least after the Harriet Miers debacle.
I recently turned on the Rush Limbaugh show during a long drive. Within 60 seconds, I had trouble staying awake at the wheel. Limbaugh’s show is a mere shell of what it once was. It is a veritable snooze fest.
Only 1 more month until the General’s report on the progress (or lack thereof) in Iraq. Gosh, I am looking forward to reading that about as much as my next appointment with my proctologist.
Somehow, someway, our “friends” Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton will manage to blame “the man” for Michael Vick’s troubles. I don’t think Vick should go to prison if found guilty. Nope. I think he should receive the exact same punishment that his dogs received after losing a fight. In my world, that would be justice.
Fred Thompson is not even a candidate and his campaign is already a mess. This has so unnerved the social conservatives that they are barely able to keep their minds on what is really important to them – banning gay marriage. We don’t want no guvmint intervention, that is unless it keeps those gays away. Inviting the federal government into the issue of marriage. So much for liberty and less government.
John McCain seems to be adopting the “Fred Flinstone” strategy of running a campaign. We don’t need no stinkin brakes, we’ll just use our feet. No money, no employees, no commercials but all is well!
John Edwards thinks somebody cares enough about him to shut him up. Is he really saying anything? Isn’t sort of a rule that you have to say something relevant first and then worry about someone shutting you up next?
Did Bill Richardson get drafted by anyone in this years baseball draft? Just asking.
Rudy Giuliani is my hero. I have always wanted to have my wife live in a publicly funded mansion while I am out dating. Rudy and Bill Clinton almost have to be buddies, at least in secret.
Whatever happened to Gus Hall?

Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their Country. If the election were held today, who would win? Let’s Vote NOW. Get the scoop on all the candidates. There is something YOU can do. Vote DIRECTLY on THESE ISSUES, bring new Parties to life, and that is the SOLUTION. We’re starting the 2nd American Revolution.
Real Democracy is in trouble. The only solution is MORE PARTICIPATION by the average American like you. YOU must participate now in a completely new way of making our policies and creating and modifying our laws. VOTING ON THE INTERNET is the ONLY way.
We have the solutions in our common consciousness. We are the majority opinion. And that opinion is what SHOULD be making the laws in this country. IT IS NOT, only because of apathy. The United States Constitution is almost dead, but it is still a living breathing document and it needs your help in resuscitating the spirit of democracy, the promise of America, the planet’s last best hope.
YOU embody that hope. You are that dream. You are the promise. THE INTERNET BRINGS US ALL TOGETHER. UNITE America on the mission of bringing FULL DEMOCRACY to this land of liberty and freedom. WE must NOT let them win this battle of wills. We are stronger, but only if we UNITE. This next election of 2008 is the opportunity we need to UNITE the PEOPLE on this idea of Voting On the Internet to counteract, suspend, abolish all of the evils that have been done to us and go on to create a nation where it can never happen again. http://www.votingontheinternet.com GO THERE NOW and give your support to the 2nd American Revolution.
This time the Revolution will be Webcast.

Thanks for commenting on my post. Such a detailed, direct narrative to my topics at hand.
Gosh, this would not be spam now, would it?

I think Mike plagiarized this speech from Karl Marx. The thought of people uniting gives me Orwellian shivers.
July 29th, 2007 at 11:49 am
i don’t like the idea of voting on the Internet
if ILLEGAL immigrants are allowed to vote now in many places, i mean they don’t even check ID, what happens if voting is allowed on the WORLD WIDE web?
how about we check the ID of eveyone who wants to vote? fingerprints … fingerprints to get a ballot would be good
(you have to give your fingerprints to join the Peace Corps … so “the man” already has mine.)

Mike:
I don’t comment here, much. But, that was good stuff. Funny! Just wanted to tell you that.
July 29th, 2007 at 6:32 pm
Mdefl,
Good post. I have not followed any news in several days other than the Democrat congress hitting a new low approval rate per Rasmussen. However, based on your post, its funny that I do not think I miss anything.
BTW – I saw Barry Bonds hit a homer in Friday’s game. I got a break from my covert uh classified activities.

Gus Hall died years ago, but not before breaking with the Soviet government during the glosnost period. It likely had something to do with them cutting off their secret payments to him.
His sizable estate went to family members. There was a lawsuit several years ago brought by Angela Davis and other high-ranking Communists, arguing that they (er..the Party) should get these assets, since they were really Communist Party property to which Gus Hall just happened to hold personal title (sort of like it was held in trust as a way of laundering the secret payments from the Russians). But the court ruled that he stole it fair and square. His heirs are living fat and happy and Angela Davis has to make due on lecture fees from adoring college crowds.

I withdraw all of my comments about Angela Davis. She is a right-thinking American and college students have good cause to adore her.
