Simply Awesome. I just ruined another keyboard! BHO almost had my vote...I emailed the campaign....it came down to his VP pick! Had he chosen Robert Byrd to be his running mate, he would have had my vote...but now that Mccain has chosen Palin, who will become the VPILF...
Well you know!

Hey all.... I live in Louisiana (northeast, we'll get rain & wind & all, but nothing too serious). Check out the metro blog in NOLA
http://neworleans.metblogs.com/
Especially the "Hurricane Preparedness Watch" ones... keeping score between Gov. Bobby Jindal (Republican) and NOLA Mayor Ray-Ray "Chocolate City" Nagin (Asswipe). Hilarious. Can't believe the goobs in NOLA actually re-elected that idiot.

It was raining pretty hard here in the Tampa Bay area a couple of hours ago. There was scattered rain coming from the East that looked like it was breaking up, but it suddenly came down on us like a ton of bricks!

JOHN EDWARDS: SEX ADDICT?
David Duchovny has courageously admitted to being an addict–a sex addict–and has admitted himself into rehab in hopes of overcoming his problem: http://news.aol.com/health/article/is-sex-addiction-real/154267?icid=200100397×1208629531x1200492182.
Since this is a (relatively) family-friendly website, we won’t explore all the ramifications of that admission, although many seem to question whether it qualifies as an addiction or is “a narcissistic indulgence” or a reflection of an OCD disorder.
I would question why anyone would go public with such an admission. If a person, male or female, believes he or she suffers from “sex addiction,” would it not be more prudent to downplay the sickness and if you thought you needed treatment for it would you not be better off entering rehab without fanfare and announcing it to the universe?
Unless, of course, it’s all a cheap publicity stunt for free advertising for Duchovny’s Showtime series, the classily-titled “Californication,” in which he just happens to play a sex-crazed guy
Duchovny is married, for 11 years, to actress Tea Leoni and they have two children.
Someone else who is married with children is Senator John Edwards,...

Hey, VH... check out this article:
http://www.thrfeed.com/2008/08/commander-in-ch.html
The guy who wrote that "Commander in Chief" show for ABC weighs in on the Palin selection:
"Picking a woman is an absolute strategic idea from McCain's point of view. He's not talking about governing right now. The idea of this woman actually facing down [Vladimir] Putin and negotiating with [Dmitry] Medvedev is idiotic."
Nice to see they have a lot of faith in women in Hollywood, huh?

AN OPEN LETTER TO JOHN McCAIN ON THE RIGHT TO LIFE
Dear Senator McCain:
With the anticipated nomination of your brilliant pick, the avidly and deeply pro-life Sarah Palin as the Republican nominee for the vice presidency of the United States, the abortion issue will undoubtedly come to the forefront, if Obama-Biden permit it.
I say that because you have already caved to the Obama-ites on debates. You wanted 10 of the townhall variety, your forte’, yet you agreed to 3 of the stilted interview format, where Obama excels with his well-rehearsed comments. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/08/05/presidential-debate-moder_n_117048.html. That was a mistake.
I hate to use this term but, Senator Wishy-Washy, if you also surrender and relegate abortion, the most significant social and moral issue on America’s table in 2008, to the campaign’s back burner, you will and should lose on November 4th.
Surrender is not in your vocabulary, Senator McCain. You demonstrated that quality in your 5 1/2 years in residence at the Hanoi Hilton. However, your failure to demand, at the least, 3 townhall fora is inexplicable. To now also backburner abortion will be unforgiveable to your conservative base, the people who can elect you.
Even if you concede to the Obamaniacs and shelve the issue as far as campaign ads are concerned, you should not stifle Sarah Palin and you should let her speak about it, and about the reasons she refused to abort what she and her husband knew was a Down Syndrome baby.
Admittedly sensitive topics that many Americans simply don’t want to hear about or talk about because it makes them uncomfortable–as it should–the 50,000,000 abortions since Roe v. Wade, partial birth abortions, and the literal murder of living babies which Obama supports, (see http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-oped0826byrneaug26,0,4780984.story), cannot be ignored.
Senator McCain, if you prefer not to get down and dirty on abortion, at least let Sarah run with the ball. You chose her for reasons that must have included her beliefs in the right to life for all human beings. Now let her detail her feelings.
Better yet, be that maverick you say you are and confront America with the truth about abortion! You might begin with incorporating pictures such as these in some of your advertising: http://www.100abortionpictures.com/Aborted_Baby_Pictures_Abortion_Photos/Index.cfm?FirstPhoto=51.
Those pictures are not for the faint of heart nor for those who prefer the ostrich approach to reality, but a true pro-lifer should know those 50,000,000 innocents deserve a voice in this campaign. If you or Governor Palin don’t give them that voice, who will?
May God bless you, may God bless Governor Palin, and may God bless and save America!
Best of luck!
Regards,
Gene Lalor

I voted last Tuesday and they had changed it again! This time we filled in a circle with a pen and put the ballot in a acanner. Since 2000, the Liberals have been demanding that the voting methods be changed just about every election. Someday they hope to find a ballot that will rig the votes in their favor, changing their socialist ways just doesn't occure to them.

KHarn - the leftist ballot is the one with only their candidates on it, and the circle/box is already checked. No thinking required.

You'll be able to figure it out from there.

The lady fired her own Chief of Police and filed corruption charges against two of her own Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission colleagues. She has had half ton moose in her crosshairs before she even went to school in the morning. I doubt this lady would have a problem with a Putin or a Medvedev.
