SOME QUICKIE ELECTION NOTES

Do you think Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama is going to get the Democratic nomination? Hillary Clinton Barack Obama

• Snow in NYC yesterday. I went through three different flight cancellations. AirTran finally came through and I got home ... at 2:30 this morning. OK ... so this isn't about the election.
• Signing copies of "FairTax, The Truth" tonight at the Borders Book Store on Ashford Dunwoody Road in Dunwoody (Atlanta). OK ... so this isn't about the election either.
• Hillary lost every primary yesterday. Refused to congratulate Obama. This woman's natural meanness is going to start showing through, as if it hasn't already.
• Obama is starting to talk about "taking" oil company profits away too. That line is a bit hit with economic ignoranuses.
• They're starting to talk about possible vice presidential candidates for Obama. If he choses a white guy, does that make him an Uncle Tom?
• Can you get used to "President Barack Obama?" Think about it, a young, vibrant, articulate good looking black guy (with no accomplishments) vs. an old bald headed white guy (with plenty of accomplishments).

OK ... they really would like for me to come in to work this morning. I'm outta here.

OBAMA FLAG FLAP

The Obama camp has responded to the Cuban-Che flag that was hanging at a Houston, Texas office for Barack Obama. Are you ready for the resounding response?

"The office featured in this video is funded by volunteers of the Barack Obama Campaign and is not an official headquarters for his campaign."

Now the title headline did read "On Reports of an Inappropriate Flag in a Texas Obama Office." So they did manage to get the fact that it was "inappropriate" ... although that may be the understatement of the day.

Again, did Barack Obama have anything to do with this flag? No. But it does show the kind of people that are supporting him ... that they are willing to go so far as to hang the face of a communist butcher, criminal and murderer, as if he embodies the spirit of the Obama campaign.

Sometimes you're known by the company you keep ... right? Maybe someday the media will get over their infatuation and love affair with Obama and begin to ask some questions about his affinity for Marxist groups and professors during his university years. Then again ... maybe not.

GLOBAL WARMING ... SAVING LIVES OR KILLING THOUSANDS?

Global warmers can't seem to make up their minds ... on the same day we get two going to hit England and cause thousands of people to die. Sounds pretty apocalyptic to me. The other says that lives will be saved because we will have more mild winters. OK .. so which is it? These people are becoming so fascinated with their own cultism that they're starting to completely abandon any connection they have to reality.

The first report says that there is a 25% chance that a severe heat wave will strike the UK and kill over 6,000 before 2017. That is ... if we don't do anything to stop causing climate change! Well the UK is already going to turn off street lamps at night to produce less CO2. Is that not going to be enough? And by the way, this report was re-issued on the same day that the mayor of London decided to have owners of polluting cars will have to pay $49 a day to drive in the city center. The mayor believes that this will cut down on carbon emissions. So let's back up for just a minute. Within the last few days, Britain is basically asking people to stay in their homes (because there will not be any light at night) and do not drive (because it produces CO2). Now ask yourself this ... how is a country expected to grow and produce if it is encouraging people to sit on their butts and eat biscuits night and day?

Now another story on the same day says that the risk of a fatal heat wave is high, but global warming will cause fewer deaths due to temperature. Ok, so how do they figure this? It turns out that a heat wave is expected to kill over 6,000 but cold-related deaths in the UK currently average 20,000 per year. So .. in the final analysis .. the warming saves lives.

This crap is getting pretty silly. Remember, the Earth has heated up by one degree ... that's just one ... in the last 100 years. Oh .. and when is someone going to step forward and tell us what the perfect temperature is?

WAS HARRY HOLDING OUT?

Senate Republicans are accusing Harry Reid of purposefully slowing the Senate process of adding new bills to the calendar in order to avoid bringing up the bill punishing Berkeley, California for its treatment of the Marine recruitment center. Jim DeMint says, "Democrats have chosen not to defend the Marine Corps, but to pander to anti-war protesters and Berkeley officials that are actively trying to impede military recruitment." When asked about the situation in Berkeley, Harry Reid pretended to play dumb. He said, "To be very honest with you, I don't know what the Berkeley City Council said. I have enough trouble keeping track of the Las Vegas City Council, so I'm sorry..." Now does anyone in their right mind actually believe that? He's a US Senator. It has been all over the news. His fellow Senators had drafted a bill to strip the city of its funding because of what was said ... and Harry claims to not know about it?

Wouldn't it be a grand thing if all anti-war, peace-at-any-price nut jobs together with all illegal aliens moved to Berkeley and took up residence there? That ought to make a pretty good dream. Let's work on that one.

REGULATING THE MEDIA

Arab countries are adopting a document which imposes "regulations" on Arab satellite TV shows that offend their regimes. The initiative was led by Egypt and Saudi Arabia. The only nation that won't comply is Qatar, which is the home of Al-Jazeera. It calls for stations "not to offend the leaders or national and religious symbols" of Arab countries.

CHRISTIAN RAMADAN

This is how much Europe is changing. Dutch Catholics have decided that they need to re-name the Lent fast. So they've decided to name Lent the "Christian Ramadan." And why have they felt the need to put Lent into Islamic terms? Because young people in their country are more likely to know about Islam than Christianity.

The Catholic organizers hope that by linking the Muslim festival of Ramadan they can remind Christians of the "spirituality and sobriety" of Lent, for those Christians who may be less observant than Muslims.

Can you believe this is happening folks? Amazing! Perhaps Europe truly is lost.

All hail Eurabia!!!

READING ASSIGNMENTS

The New York Times implied that the nomination is slipping away from Hillary Clinton. Like I said, the more she sees her dream of ultimate power slip away ... the closer she gets to a complete breakdown.

Bill says that a president is somebody who will keep "big bad things from happening." He also believes that Hillary will make sure good things happen. Wait just a durned minute here. Keep bad thins from happening? Excuse me, but wasn't it Bill Clinton who was figuratively playing with himself while our armed forces were waiting for his permission to take out Osama bin Laden?

So what's the deal with these super delegates? Here's a current unofficial tally of where they stand.

Just in case you are curious, this is a list of the "unstimulated" ... those people who will not be getting checks under this economic stimulus plan. Now I know what that strange feeling was.

The US State Department is actually considering supporting Palestine in its request to avoid paying hundreds of millions of dollars to American victims of Palestinian terrorist attacks in Israel.

Here's a question for you to explore here ... should journalists vote? My answer? Only the smart ones. That is going to leave a lot of reporters with nothing to do on election day.

Anonymous law enforcement and military officials revealed that Gitmo detainees are drinking Starbucks coffee?

The federal government is considering waking up residents in the middle of the night by sounding alarms on cell phones when a hurricane or tornado threatens. I stay awake enough worrying about the IRS. Tornados are nothing compared to a tax auditor with an attitude.

President Bush decided to say something about the recent displays of nooses around the country. He says it is disturbing and indicates that some Americans are losing sight of the suffering that blacks have endured. Agreed.

Mexican President Felipe Calderon says that the United States is filled with anti-immigrant perceptions, arguing that Mexican (illegal) immigrants complement American workers. Hey, Senor! Nice truck!"

Hugo Chavez has stopped the sale of crude oil to Exxon Mobil in an "act of reciprocity" for the company's "judicial-economic harassment."

The Danish cartoonist responsible for the infamous Muhammad cartoons ... three people have now been arrested for plotting to assassinate him.

Afghanistan wants international help to build Islamic schools in its country, so that students will not attend more radical schools outside the country.

Are people actually upset that others don't want their kids in bars? Been there, done that ... and I don't appreciate ankle biters in bars.

A prison in Huntsville, Texas has decided that it is going to determine what reading material is inappropriate for its inmates. One inmate's book was intercepted because the material could "encourage homosexual or deviant criminal sexual behavior" and was "detrimental to the offender's rehabilitation."

Young adults entering the work force seem to be lacking a big skill: professionalism. In fact some companies are "de-emphasizing" hiring anyone under 30 because of problems with Generation Me. Too much fake self-esteem I guess.

Even though a third of US companies forbid inter-office relationships, nearly four out of 10 workers ignore that ban. Where the hell else are you going to meet somewhere?

A man pulls up to the local department of social services to collect his welfare benefits ... in an H2 Hummer?

Wanna look good for Jesus? Looks like you may not have the chance.
