Tear Down This Wall

This is statesmanship. This is history worth celebrating.

Virginia Delegates' Map--Party Changes

Let's see Gibbsie explain this swing away...bottom line..it wasn't just at the top of the ticket yesterday Sweetheart.

Allahu Akbar!

Go Yogi! ...new Indian secret weapon...enjoy those virgins boys..

Spin Baby, Spin

David Gregory, moderator of Meet the Press, on this morning's Today show said, in effect, Obama has created a wave of change in this country. Voters in VA and NJ were voting for change of the status quo.

Most of us took high school algebra and learned that if: A=B and B=C, then A=C.

So Bloom's twisted conclusion is, in essence, Obama gets to take credit for the races in VA and NJ (in a positive way). The Obama movement, if you will, continues to be at work creating change in our country. This is, therefore, validation of Obama's message and policies.

Oh bother. Well, I told you so.

Great Night for Virginia's GOP

Congratulations to the GOP leadership ticket who beat Deeds and Co. like a rented mule today.

Now for the other shoe....wait for it....wait for it....

Tomorrow Gibbsie and POTUS will throw Deeds and Corzine under the bus.

It's actually begun. While Obama remains cloistered in the White House disentangled from the fray, his surrogates are on TV yapping about what a poor candidate Corzine was, hamstrung by charges of corruption and failure to lower property taxes as promised....braying about how Deeds ran an ineffective campaign and did not fully embrace the proffered help from the White House until too late...bleating about how the elections were about local issues and don't reflect upon POTUS or the massive FUBAR that is Washington this year. Interestingly, and hypocritically, the same talking heads are bragging about how the race in NY's 23rd (since it looks like it's going the Dem's way) is all about Obama and voters' rejection of a "far right wing" conservative.

Watch for it tomorrow. The White House, either directly, or via proxy, will issue their proclamation that it's not their fault, not a reflection on Obama, not a rejection of the wackiness on the Hill.

"Pay no attention to the Man behind the curtain! ....the Great Oz has spoken!"

This Could Change Everything

The Pelosi health care bill could change everything about the fundamental relationship between Government and the People. If passed, it will be virtually impossible to reverse or undo, and will forever make the People "beholding" to the Federal Government for the most basic of services and resources. This is why America is so opposed to this plan, and why emotions are running so high. We are at a crossroads in America. One path leads to liberty, responsibility, choice, and free markets; the other to a vassal state, entitlement, dependency, and the erosion or end of free markets.

Mike Pence gets it. This is worth your time.

Meg the Magnificent!

October's been pretty momentous around here. On the 1st, daughter Meg got her driver's permit. While we're not completely out of the teenage woods yet, she's growing up fast...helping with her sister, driving herself to school and beyond, and focusing on her future and the college she wants to attend (for now Longwood seems the front-runner).

She'a also taking all advanced Honors classes. Tough stuff, like Statistics, History, and other sundry subjects. Driving and boyfriends haven't flagged her determination, and she surprised us this nine weeks, coming home with Straight A's! Way to go Megster! What a super job!
