A few predictions

December 18th, 2009 · 21 Comments

For those of you just stopping by, I’ll mention this blog goes dormant on January 12. There are a few things to get to before that day! One is a few predictions. I won’t be online when it all comes to pass, but I thought I’d give it a go anyway.

I believe the Brookfield mayoral [...]

Sarah and Me

November 24th, 2009 · 5 Comments

No, I can’t say I’ll be standing in line to see her. I don’t even think I’ll buy the book. Still, I thought I’d give a brief idea of why Sarah Palin might be so popular. You see, she’s a lot like me. Perhaps that’s one way of calling attention to the fact that she’s [...]

Sarah Palin, national threat

November 20th, 2009 · 2 Comments

Or at least that’s what President Barack Obama’s campaign thinks! Organizing for America wants your $5 again.

Cindy –
Right now, Sarah Palin is on a highly publicized, nationwide book tour, attacking President Obama and his plan for health reform at every turn.
It’s dangerous. Remember, this is the person who coined the term “Death Panels” — and [...]

William Shatner performs Sarah Palin’s farewell speech

July 28th, 2009 · 2 Comments

If it weren’t for the stupid audience laughing, this would be kind of cool.

Here’s the text of Shatner’s excerpt of Palin’s speech:
And getting up here I say it is the best road trip in America soaring through nature’s finest show. Denali, the great one, soaring under the midnight sun. And then the extremes. In [...]

Retweeting Sarah Palin

July 14th, 2009 · Comments Off

Given yesterday’s fun on the blog, I thought I’d share this from Sarah Palin’s Twitter feed. In two parts:
Daughter just returned from NBC basketball tour in Italy full of Coach Fred Crowell’s inspiration; may we all grasp what they learned like:
“Criticism is something easily avoided by saying nothing, doing nothing, being nothing.”Aristotle Don’t fear it;it [...]

God bless America; Sarah Who? and a trip to the soapbox

July 6th, 2009 · 10 Comments

Whew. My folks just hit the road and that officially ends the Fourth of July festivities. I have a fridge full of great leftovers (somehow not one of the dessert options remain) and a house that could use a good scrubbing down.
Last night we all headed to the newly adult focused basement and watched [...]

Sarah Palin resigns as governor of Alaska

July 3rd, 2009 · 8 Comments

Wow.
From Fox:
Palin’s decision now allows her to avoid the difficult task of running for president while serving as governor.
I don’t think I was ready for that.

Letterman apologizes to the Palin family

June 16th, 2009 · Comments Off

He’s still a jerk. Listen to how he actually makes new jokes in the middle of this apology!
I’m sure that CBS’ loss of an advertiser had absolutely nothing to do with his decision.

Just one of those days

June 11th, 2009 · 2 Comments

If you’re fairly conservative like I am, you’re probably fairly offended right now. It’s not a good week for folks like us.
Today POTUS is flapping his gums in Green Bay, Wisconsin. He will try to sell America yet another plan for our salvation. He will, as usual, withhold the fine print. I love being sold [...]

Well that was fun.

The book is finished. It was a great read – more twists and turns than I’d expected.

It doesn’t look like I missed that much in the real world. The media is obsessing with Sarah Palin again – this time her wardrobe – but I doubt very seriously we’re being given the whole story. We rarely [...]
