South Carolina Primary

OK, Obama won the state fair and square. But, please stop saying that the vote had nothing to do with “race”.

It had everything to do with the fact that Barack is considered “African-American”. Black people overwhelmingly voted for Obama. Is this wrong? Hell, no! The same way that I support my beliefs is exemplified by the vote yesterday.

Heritage is important, I think, to many Americans. Like most, I tend to gravitate toward those who think the same way as I do. It is human nature to want to belong to a “group”, unfortunate as that may be.

This does not, however, preclude the cooperation of various groups with others. Now, possibly more than ever, is the time for all Americans to unite as a single power to fight any enemy that we may face. We need to reject the “Peace at any Price” crowd.

Respect our differences, applaud our free choice, and stand tall for the values that once made the United States the greatest country ever known.

We are in this together, folks. Please don’t let anyone take away our independence, freedom, and fearlessness of those who would take this from us.

Gone, Certainly not Forgotten

‘LOS ANGELES (Associated Press) --  Suzanne Pleshette, the beautiful, husky-voiced film and theater star best known for her role as Bob Newhart's sardonic wife on television's long-running "The Bob Newhart Show," has died, said her attorney Robert Finkelstein. She was 70.’ [source]

Pronouncing “Nevada”

Since so many pundits in the vast wasteland that is television, do not know (or care) to pronounced “Nevada” correctly, I shall illuminate them.

“Nev-a-da” should be uttered with the first “a” sounding much like the “a” in “cat”, not like the “o” in “cot”.

I heard one talking head say that Nevadans cringe as if they just heard fingernails on a chalkboard (an interesting phenomenon in itself), and he is correct.

So, please, America, show us a little respect (even if we don’t deserve it, having given you Harry Reid, and all).

Bad Move

Now, I am no economist, but this (Bush economic stimulus) seems utterly absurd to me. Isn’t that like taking money from your left hand and placing it in the right and expecting the cash to increase in value during the deft move?

Quote of the Day

“The great paradox of politics is that the set of skills and talents it takes to win a campaign are decidedly different than the set of skills and talents it takes to govern.”- Radley Balko

A Little More Care Please

Why do we see so many bloggers (two would be two too many) attribute quotes and articles to Victor David Hanson, when the writer is Victor Davis Hanson? We’re pretty sure there is a Victor David Hanson out there somewhere, but not the one being cited.

These folks seem to have little problem spelling Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, so what gives?

Tiger Aggressively Mollifies Child at Local Zoo

(AP), Buick, SD, Jan 14, 2008

Famed golfer, Eldrick “Tiger” Woods (handicap unknown), son of an African-American-Kansan and a Thai lady (which naturally makes him [Tiger] a “black” man), was in Buick preparing for the Buick Invitational Golf Tournament, which will be his first win of the year.

He and his wife, the former Elin Nordegren, an unbelievably gorgeous Swedish model, and their 7 month old daughter, Sam, decided to take advantage of the sub-tropical weather to visit the famous Buick Zoo. Sam remarked that she was mildly surprised about the warm temperatures and gentle trade winds. Tiger chuckled, and gave her a detailed explanation of the meteorological hypotheses behind the phenomenon, and helped her with the outline of the copious notes she had taken.

(This journalist recognizes that you are perhaps wondering what all this has to do with the alleged “Tiger Mollification Incident”. You need background, people. Besides I am the highly trained professional, and you are not! Capisce?)

Upon arriving at the “petting” portion, positioned prominently, per protocol, PETA protested passionately, putting parental pressure on the Woods family. Not wanting Sam to be exposed to this insane behavior at her tender age, Elin and Tiger decided to take her to the safer “Evil Feral Creatures” exhibit.   

A four year-old girl, we’ll call her “Susie”, mainly because her name is “Susie”, was enjoying her delicious chocolate double-scoop ice cream cone near the gorilla cage. Her father thoughtfully picked her up, and placed her inside the “zone of safety” barrier, encouraging her to get a better look at the ferocious behemoth. And then, the unforeseeable happened.

We won’t describe in detail what occurred in the following moments. Let it suffice to say that Tiger Woods witnessed the entire incident, rushing to come to the aid of the defenseless child. Woods was obviously determined, even pushing handicapable people to the ground in order to save this child.

Despite his heroic efforts, when Mr. Woods reached the little girl, the worst had happened. The gorilla had taken her beloved ice cream cone and retreated to his favorite rock with the delectable treat.

Susie was utterly distraught at the loss of her prize. Tiger, of course, didn’t touch her in a consoling fashion, knowing how the press would report that. Instead of physical contact with the girl, he reached for his wallet, withdrew five crisp one-hundred dollar bills, and gave them to the crying child.

Susie’s mom lovingly moistened a Kleenex© in the fashion that mothers disgustingly do, and wiped away her tears and bits of chocolate residue from her face. She held on to the $500 for safe keeping.

Tiger quietly slipped back into the crowd totally anonymous, except for the three-iron that he carries everywhere.

“Mr. Perfect” had saved the day again. He has a really hot wife, an adorable daughter, money out the ying-yang, and is incapable of screwing up. I hate his guts.

The Cesspool that is New Orleans

The staff here at Blog Central are having another “Wish we had said that” moment. The argument presented  below reflects our feelings (nothing more than feelings) to a T.

“As a city that is part and parcel of America New Orleans does exactly nothing to better the country and a lot to make it a crappier nation all around. I mean, just what is the big deal about this humid, festering, below-sea-level, rotting and clapped-out town with more STDs per capita than any other burg its size? Anne Rice? Vampire novels? A literary tradition that launched many millions of bad goth tattoos? A few blocks of mouldering and rusting antebellum architecture that oozes the tattered ghosts slavery and child prostitution? A cuisine composed of liquid pork fat, overweight oysters, and second-string animal parts so vile they have to be soaked in wine and then crusted with chile [sic] peppers and charred to a blackened husk? Don't even get me going on taking bad coffee and making it worse by dumping some chicory in it. Sludge has more savor.” [source via Instapundit]

Extra, Extra!

My inside sources tell me that a certain singer (close to Tony Romo, we understand), who may or may not have a younger sister who performed a jig on SNL (maybe), placed a heavy wager on the New York Giants to cover and win today’s game versus the Cowboys.

As an aside, I’d like to point out that the “NY” Giants play their home games in…New Jersey, which happens to be my home state.

Bulletin: Court Makes Correct Decision!

“BOSTON - A U.S. appeals court has overturned a $400,000 jury award to a Portuguese man who sued American Airlines Inc., claiming he was removed from a flight because of racial discrimination.

In 2003, the 40-year-old John Cerqueira was removed from a flight from Boston to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, along with two Israeli men seated in his row. He was described as hostile by one flight attendant.” [source]

Speaking Your Mind

I get a little annoyed at those who say, "Never talk about religion or politics in a social setting".

What are they afraid of? Is it about not creating controversy, or, perhaps, fear of the disapproval of others?

I don't recall the Constitution guaranteeing freedom from speech. Discussions about celebrities, etiquette, gardening, and many other "safe" topics bore me no end. Sports, however, does not.

Give me a spirited discussion about the Second Amendment any day. Britney? Couldn't care less about her despicable life.
