Obama's Gaffes

Read this great article by Michelle Malkin. It just goes to illustrate why we need to adopt Obama's new theme song.

Obama's New Theme Song

Obama in Portland, OR 18 May 2008 regarding Iran.

"They don't pose a serious threat to us"

Senator O, Billings, MT 19 May 2008.

"I've made it clear for years that the threat from Iran is grave"

I now propose the following theme song for the Senator.

Sam Cooke, Wonderful World

Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the French I took

But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be

Don't know much about geography
Don't know much trigonometry
Don't know much about algebra
Don't know what a slide rule is for...

Debate

This was taken at the Louisiana State Debate Tournament. Pictured is Thomas, 10th grade. I was judging the tournament.

Yo Mickey - Heads Up (or out)

If McCain didn't vote for Pres Bush in 2000 - he still wouldn't have voted for Kerry. I think that the 2000 election is referred to as Bush v Gore. You remember - I think that there was a recount and maybe a trip to the Supreme Court?

Updated: McCain refutes the story that he didn't vote for Pres Bush in this interview with Bill O'Reilly. This in no way abrogates my chastisement of Mickey above

In Honor of our Heritage

The last T-37 at Columbus AFB has retired. In the interest of full disclosure, I attended pilot training at Columbus AFB from July of 1988 until July 1989. Additionally, I was a T-37 instructor pilot at Vance AFB from September 1995 until May 1999. The Tweet was a workhorse, the equivalent of a MG midget (Compared to the Porche that is the T38 Talon) and a joy to fly, I will miss it.

UPDATE: Here. When they talk about turbine lag, think of this. Get in your car, mash the gas, count "1-potato, 2-potato, 3-potato..." at 7 the engine begins to whine, and as late as 15 you actually begin to feel movement.

Evidence of Bias at Time Magazine

Article Here

The phrase I am referring to is this;

"Which is not to say that Clinton's candidacy is entirely without
purpose now that she is pursuing a Republican-style race gambit,
questioning Obama's 20-year relationship with the Rev. Jeremiah "God
damn America" Wright."

Which leads me to the question, if a Democrat is pursuing a "race gambit" doesn't that make it Democrat-style. At what point does the Democrat use of race become a 'style'?

Additionally, consider this.

1. The Democratic Party has disenfranchised the voters of Florida and Michigan wholesale -- "No Delegates FOR YOU!"

2. The media has helped encourage the current stalemate between Sen. Obama and Sen. Clinton because they failed in their primary job of vetting candidates. (Question; Who would have won in all the states that have already voted if the Wright chickens had come home sooner - as they would have if media had done their job.)

3. Now the media (in this case Joe Klein and Time) are encouraging the Democratic Party to reverse the decisions of the entire Democratic electorate so far - by putting forth someone who hasn't appeared on a ballot yet this season.

It just seems to me that the rule-set that permits this type of back room deal is from an age long gone - yet the Democratic Party leadership are consciously floating this trial balloon to see if it attracts criticism. Unfortunately, their enablers in the media are not going to vet the idea properly, just like they didn't vet the candidates properly until this point.

My belief: Putting Al Gore on the top of the Democratic ticket would be the ultimate voter disenfranchisement. So, how many votes in the general election will the Democrats give to the Republican nominee if they disenfranchise those who have voted in primaries so far?
