Prelude to the Weekend Wish List

So far, a week hasn't gone by without a lot of things to wish for! Unfortunately, I can't wait until the weekend to post my thoughts.

Time for Perez Hilton to slide into the ash bin of history. His personal assault on the tradition of marriage should only command a brief obit: "Perez Hilton died today, championed overturning the institution of marriage. He was laughed into obscurity".

Carrie Prejean authors a book on traditional values. It stays on the top of New York Times' best sellers list while the paper is shut down due to lack of circulation.

Obama's attempts to provide government money to bail out failed newspapers crashes and burns on the floor of the House. Too many House members have already sold their holdings in liberal newspapers to give a shit.

The Hubble Telescope is repaired and put into perfect working condition. Unfortunately, it re-orients itself to point toward Earth and can't be adjusted. NASA blames the curtailment of the shuttle program on not being able to fix the error. James Hansen is fired after suggesting that the Obama administration purposely re-oriented the Hubble to spy on July 4th Tea Parties.

A freak May storm in the Gulf of Mexico washes up thousands of sand dollars in Naples, FL. The press calls it a predicable devaluation of the sand dollar by the effects of man-made global warming. Rush dubs it "The Sand Cent Scandal".

Weekend Wish List

I can't help but believe that the Republican Party is in such disarray, they are in a perfect position to be captured by the "Tea Party" movement. Throw the moderates and rinos out! Michael Steele can go too!

Specter got his just rewards...and lost his seniority switching parties! This is the ONLY time I've been in synch with Harry Reid, so-called majority leader. What's up with that and why do I sense a conspiracy?

Let's pray that Senator Jeff Sessions has the moxie to lay it on the line for any of Barack Obama's Supreme Court nominees!

I'd like to see Carrie Prejean and Danica Patrick in a commercial together, sans bathing suits.

Jeb Bush has completely lost my support. Does he really think that I appreciate him bashing on Reagan, however nuanced?

Thanks to the mainstream media, Sarah Palin stays in the news, no matter that it's due to her daughter. Could she be playing the media in advance of a 2012 run? She just needs to take Rush 101: Any publicity can be turned into GOOD publicity!

Why do I get the feeling that Pakistan will turn out to be Barack's "Jimmy Carter debacle"?

And why do I get the feeling that Israel is about to go "rogue"?

Does anyone else look forward to the Indy 500 and Memorial Day? I've been tuned into the Indy 500 since I was a kid in Indiana. And Memorial Day should be one of our most-cherished holidays. Will Obama actually lay a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier? Are you ready for the mainstream media to praise it if he does, or doesn't? Either way, it'll be a disgusting attempt to pander for votes!

So what's the best bet for a Memorial Day cookout, brats or burgers?

I just have a lot on my mind!

Reclaim, Reform and Restore!

I heard an interesting exchange on the Laura Ingraham Show a few nights ago. A caller suggested that the "mantra" for Republicans should be "Restore". We should restore the government to what was intended by the US Constitution. Laura took it a step further and suggested the mantra should be "Reclaim [Congress], Reform [Government] and [then] Restore.

Although I think those ideas are appropriate, there is really only one thing that everyone needs to focus on and that is "RECLAIM". If that doesn't happen, then the rest of the three are moot!

The argument is all about how Republicans are going to reclaim the majority in Congress. I have to say, I agree with Rush when he says "TEACH"! Instead of listening tours and worrying about what the liberals are saying should happen, we need to engage people in the conversation regarding constitutionalism.

Unfortunately, the only way we will be able to "reclaim" anything is through an existing political party. In other words, we have to first "reclaim" the Republican Party! I disagree with this so-called committee that wants to define a "New America". What the hell is wrong with the old one? The one that I grew up with before all the libs took over Washington and turned it into a cesspool of "special interests"?

Let's take things one step at a time. We need to reclaim the Republican Party and remake it as the party of (1) Pro-Federalism, (2) Pro-Capitalism and (3) Pro-Individualism. Those three foundational elements will help establish everything else that's worth fighting for: a strong defense, a respect for life and a respect for the rule of law.

Your thoughts?

Color me gone!

I picked up an interesting @reply on Twitter that I thought I would share:

_lemongrass_"Why would a Rush-listening hater like @ehvogel follow me? I feel dirty now. ick"

I was going to add her picture but decided it wasn't worth the trouble.

Here's my response:

@_lemongrass_ "Sorry! I must have caught you with an auto-follow. Color me gone!"

Now, in my mind, I thought I was very civil in my response. I certainly have never singled her or anyone else out for Twitter abuse. Her direct attack on me, however, seems kind of personal, doesn't it? Don't get me wrong, I could care less what she think's about me. But why do liberals feel like they're the standard-bearers of civil discourse, when just the opposite is true?

Weekend Wish List

I've spent the week watching the world collapse in concern over Swine Flu. Now the "experts" are saying it's a mild case. My two kid's school district will be closed next week. The kid's only concern was "Why didn't it happen for TACS exams"? Very good question!

Arlen Specter defects from the Republican Party. My response is "So What"! He can no longer lead the minority position on the Senate Judiciary Committee. I think that's a good thing, given that David Souter has announced his retirement. Why do I sense a conspiracy, however? The timing of the two announcements seemed too close to be a coincidence. Time will tell.

Obama finally disparaged the Tea Parties. It was really just a matter of time. His ego would not allow him to completely ignore it. His response speaks volumes about his attitude toward "Main Street" Americans. Expect him to do more in the coming weeks to really piss off "Main Street" and drive up the numbers for the July 4th Tea Party events.

Nancy Pelosi is, well, Nancy Pelosi. She participates in briefings about terrorist interrogations back in 2002 (when we still feared more attacks). Now she conveniently "LIES" about what she was told. I'm glad our security is placed in such capable hands....NOT! She's really due for a fall!

Joe Biden makes a major gaff about the Swine flu. If it's Friday, there must have been another Biden gaff! Boy, he doesn't disappoint! Sheesh! Can't wait 'til next week!

Spring has sprung and so have my weeds. My Juniper bushes have grown into monsters since I last cut them back. I hope they die when I trim them this year!

The Indy 500 is just a few weeks away. Will this race see Danica Patrick contend? I kinda doubt it, but man, would that be cool or what!
