Watch out for the Sleeper!

-

This weekend was an especially exciting one (if you think nepotism and politics are hot). From my count, we are now at eight Presidential contenders (with three added in the last 72 hours), as if there is something special about the middle of January a full year in advance of the New Hampshire Primary.

Well... actually there is. It is a full year in advance of the New Hampshire Primary. Therefore, as a service to all my wonderful fans out there, I have compiled a quick cheat sheet for you that should lessen the confusion and get the ball rolling on your opinions just in time for the holidays. Now remember this is completely non-partisan (as usual).

  1. Joe Biden - Senator from Delaware. Dammit Joe, I like you. Nonetheless, I can’t help but feel as though you have no chance. Your doing great things for the most boring state in the union though. Keep it up
  2. Sam Brownback - Senator from Kansas - He likes to call himself a “compassionate conservative”… yeah, nobody’s falling for that BS again. If I were a woman I’d be very scared of “Thumper”
  3. John McCain - Senator from Arizona - For all his faults John McCain or as he was called in 2000 “Vietnam Crazy”, isn’t making much headways these days with his calling for more troops and his constant buddying-up to the guy that started the “VC” rhetoric seven years ago. If he wants to make himself look better to the rest of the country, he needs to wake up and realize that he is finally out of the mainstream.
  4. Barack Obama - Senator from Illinois - I don’t have enough brain cells to start this one yet. I’ve been crafting this rant for months, I’ll finish it soon enough… stay tuned.
  5. Tom Vilsack - Former Governor of Iowa. Yeah right, probably a really nice guy with some good ideas, but come on. He’s the Former Gov. from Iowa, All Iowa Politician should be banned after what Hoover did.
  6. John Edwards - Former Senator from North Carolina (or was it South Carolina) - Are you still pissed about 2004? Well so is pretty-man Edwards. He even apologized for his vote on Iraq. That’s something few others have the balls to do, we’ll see what happens. If anything I’m betting he’ll be part of another power ticket. I’ll tell you who with later.
  7. Hillary Clinton - Senator from New York - Come on, you know that’s my girl. I would even start a subscription to Ms. Magazine if she went the whole way. However, we all know there is no other candidate anywhere as divisive in American Politics. I’m betting Hilly doesn’t make it through South Carolina (or is it North Carolina)
  8. Bill Richardson - Former Governor of New Mexico - Alas, The SLEEPER, don’t sleep. For all his southwest tan and semi-tough immigration stance Bill Richardson is someone that everyone in this field should be concerned about. If he gets together a good crowd of people behind him and comes up with something innovative and intelligent to say he will be the nominee. (YES THAT’S MY BET). Think about this. Richardson is a former cabinet member of the Clinton Administration, former governor of a Mexican-American state, rather central to many of the other somewhat left-leaning Democratic candidates. Possibly the most powerful of all, Bill Richardson is Latino, I’m sure I don’t have to go into all the logistics and weight that holds in these crazy times we live in, you know.

Plus, doesn't he look like a leathery version of Peter Griffin? Sexy!

Of course I bet on Wes Clark last time, so why listen to me?

FOX News ... Still Unfunny

-
From My Wordpress Blog (yes, I have two of them) The Facist News Channel has a new show (if you want to call it that) called the The Half Hour News Hour (...yeah, I know). That is supposed to deliver a "Daily Show for Conservatives" slant on the days news stories. Here is my Review of Rupert Murdoch's latest snafu. The strangest thing about the Half Hour News Hour , the Fox News Channel’s first attempt at intentional satire, described by its creator Joel Surnow as “the Daily Show for conservatives,” is not the fact that it has been panned by what Fox calls “the liberal media”. And panned it certainly was. “Radiation sickness is funnier” raved Charlie Brooker in the Guardian. “The audience for this show is someone who doesn’t like comedy. It is stupendously not funny” chortled Lisa de Moraes on Washingtonpost.com. No, what’s unusual is that the right’s antidote to the Daily Show appears to have been made by people who’ve never actually watched the Daily Show. While

How to blow 145 Billion!

Sadly, I cannot take credit for such an amazing post. Found it on Digg, so I thought I would make it just a little bit more popular. (hey it could happen - The eternal optimist that I am, in any event give Death and Taxes : The Blog the requisite props, I'm just a pion in their world. ) President Bush’s budget request on Monday included a line item of $145.2 billion for the war in Iraq… er.. I mean the ‘Global War on Terror.’ Now this funding isn’t already included in the massive Department of Defense budget, nor is it part of some multi-year over arching funding program. It’s a straight lump sum of 145 billion dollars of your taxes to be used next year in an Iraq ‘whatever’ fund. But its 145 billion dollars. Surely a number like that may be difficult to get your head around or in perspective. Well that’s what I intend to do. Follow along as I show you a few other ways we could blow $145 billion of our own money. Well here is what are spending it on. The big pot o’ taxes en route

and Mitt Romney is still an inchorent ass

"Let Detroit Go Bankrupt" by Mitt Romney If General Motors , Ford and Chrysler get the bailout that their chief executives asked for yesterday, you can kiss the American automotive industry goodbye. It won’t go overnight, but its demise will be virtually guaranteed. Without that bailout, Detroit will need to drastically restructure itself. With it, the automakers will stay the course — the suicidal course of declining market shares, insurmountable labor and retiree burdens, technology atrophy, product inferiority and never-ending job losses. Detroit needs a turnaround, not a check. I love cars, American cars. I was born in Detroit, the son of an auto chief executive. In 1954, my dad, George Romney, was tapped to run American Motors when its president suddenly died. The company itself was on life support — banks were threatening to deal it a death blow. The stock collapsed. I watched Dad work to turn the company around — and years later at business school, they were still t
