Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that the pres alway wins by a whisker? He's been doing it his whole career. He won his first governors race against Anne Richardson on absentee ballots! No she hasn't forgotten - she warned Gore publicly back before in 2000.

What does it say about a man who always wins, but just barely? Is he an habitual underachiever or a damn political election 'shark'?

I think the pool analogy fits: A pool shark can beat you handily in a straight up game, and some will do just that, but a true artist will string you along and miss selected shots, maybe even losing for part of the game, so that you continue to believe you are playing someone of similar calibre. Then they drop the hammer.

I'm beginning to think GW is droppin' hammers. And that my friends is a scary thought.

One Party System

There was a time in the South you could count on a few things in politics.

Hell would freeze over before a republican was elected to office.

Folks would vote for a Democrat even if it was a yellow dog.

Such is no longer the case. We are the red states.

How did this reversal take place? Did the largely agrarian South suddenly start identifying with east coast yankee 'old money'? Hell, no. Those guys have hands like women. A good Godfearin' redneck would cringe to shake hands with one. Ick! makes me dry heave thinkin' about it....

Here's what played out, pay attention, this has a lot to do with today's political situation. JFK gave all the schools in the South to little colored children and then sent the 101'st airborne into the great state of Alabama to make the little white kids attend with them. Doesn't sound familiar does it. I have seen footage of US soldiers with bayonets fixed marching behind white children from their own sidewalk to the schoolhouse. This opened a very few eyes. But enough to shoot the sonofabitch that gave the order. Most thought they could take back the demoncratic party or at least influence it through the massive support it got from the South sorta the way black folk think they have a say in it now
During the 1968 demoncratic convention a bunch of flakes took over the demoncratic party and it became the standard bearer for every sissy, multiculturalist, dike, baby killer, hippie, druggy, relativist, artist, journalist, gun grabber, tree hugger, socialist, college professor, social deviant, retard, frenchman, idiotic utopian and commie ratbastard . Did I leave anyone out?
Political tradition was so ingrained in the South (Lincoln was a goddamned republican after all, and a unitarian!) that home folks didn't start throwing the dogs out for real until the Clintonista's took office and we were treated to fairies prancing on the Mall on national television.
Sadly, some folks hereabouts still don't get it. Were we to make them spend quality time with their voting peer group I daresay they would run for the hills screaming it was all a republican conspiracy.

Predictions anyone?

Just thought I'd see what ya'll are thinkin' on the election tomorrow. Who's it gonna be?
Fell free to prognosticate. Yes, lemmings may offer an opinions, also.

Tastes Like Chicken.....

I was taught you were to eat what you killed. I ended up eating BBQ whistle pig once to drive that lesson home. I was just wonderin'...

We all know RagHeadMilitants (hereinafter referred to as RHMs) don't eat pork. So obviously they wouldn't taste like pork. But, given you were a cannibal or starving, would they taste like chicken?

Could ya' even stand to eat one? 'Cause you gotta know they smell like ass.

Vote Lemmings

I've been checking out the blog-intelligentsia lately and there seems to be a consensus among them that it is cool to not vote Tuesday. These folks don't think of themselves as a peer group and hold themselves to be above the average blogjoe, but they exhibit the same behaviors as any other bunch of teenagers.

It is obvious that the most of 'em are highly intelligent folk with reasoning capacity out the wazoo, but the younglings are still striving to be fashionable. One highly respected fella puts this crap out and the rest stumble over themselves to agree.

'oooo! That sounds shocking and witty. I should think that, too.'

And so the bloggers fan out to spread this crap.

Never once have I seen the operative concept applied.

DUTY

It's your damn job to vote. Go do it. Get off your lazy ass, figure out which is the best, or the lesser of two evils, whichever barometer you decide matters and pull the lever.

mornin'

Where's the 'start' button on this thing?
