Our local newspaper, the State Journal-Register, had a couple of items in the opinion section of today’s paper and online of significant interest, one was the political cartoon by Chris Britt and the other was the paper’s opinion called “Our Opinion.” Both pieces express displeasure about Chief Illiniwek.
If you ever wondered what the big deal [...]

McCain Needs to Chill
Posted in In the News, Politics on October 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
In the debates, various interviews, and in pictures, John McCain looks really uptight. He looks like he could blow any minute.
Here, he resembles Hitler, big time.
Sarah with a Heil Hitler.
Even with a smile and a thumbs up, he looks like he is squeezing his butt cheeks together trying to hold IT in.
John’s “I am God” [...]
Spreading the wealth

The Repubs are complaining about Obama’s statement about “spreading the wealth” regarding a question from “Joe the Plumber” (Whose name is really Sam who is not a plumber) in regards to Obama’s plan to raise taxes on anyone making over $250,000. The Repubs claim that it is more wise to lower taxes on the wealthy [...]

With less than three weeks before the 2008 presidential election, the republicans in office are zealously going after the democrats. The FBI, under a republican administration, is investigating ACORN, who registers mostly democratic voters. The FBI is also investigating Dem. Congressman Tim Mahoney. Joe “the Plumber” isn’t who he appeared to be. Finally, the GOP [...]
Promoting candidates at the Polls

This is too funny, and a demonstration on being careful about what you put out there in the Universe.
Not long ago, someone brought up the issue about t-shirts, buttons, and the like that promote a particular candidate being banned from polling places. I did the research on election law here in Illinois and there is [...]
The Election, Unbelieveable!
Posted in In the News, Politics, YHGTBSM! on October 3, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I have heard that there are some people wanting to vote for the third party presidential candidate during this election. That is a very noble idea, and I agree to a degree. However, the libertarian candidate, Bob Barr, like Ron Paul, is adamantly opposed to a woman’s right to choose, which would have a terrible [...]

Or is it Hear! Hear!
Hell, I don’t know and it doesn’t really matter. One of the most intelligent posts that I have ever read, and on something that I have thought about but have never been able to sufficiently articulate was posted by David Dimston from Austin, Texas. on the issue of the idea of [...]
On the Death Penalty
Posted in In the News, On my mind on August 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
In Idaho, the man that kidnapped, raped, tortured, and killed a 9 year old boy, among other things, was sentenced to death by a jury. When the grandmother of the child saw the killer in the court room, she said, “I seen nothing but an evil, empty, coldhearted shell.”
As a result, I began to wonder, [...]
Today

Barack Obama announced Sen. Joe Biden as his running mate today at the Old State Capitol here in Springfield. A historic event that I did not attend. I don’t like crowds very much, and I had a better view on TV.
I really didn’t do much of anything else. I took Zach to his HS football [...]
