Mallard Fillmore again

Posted by emjayne on Monday, August 25, 2008 11:50:27 AM
   Mallard reports from the Democrat Conventions where he's surrounded by people shouting "O-BAM-A"
and "Yes, we can!"
   But then he decides enough is enough and he moves out of the Press Box.

Love that Millard Fillmore

Posted by emjayne on Friday, August 22, 2008 1:56:45 PM
   Ques.   Sir, can you tell me why you're supporting Senator Obama?
   Ans.     My sense of personal responsibility.  He's going to take it off my hands.
 
    Ques.   Won't you miss it?
    Ans.     Nah, I never could figure out how to use the darn thing anyway.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Supposed quote from Obama.
       The public schools are failing our children
        School vouchers work...but I need the support of the teachers' unions...
        So I've come up with a compromise position  :  OPPOSE VOUCHERS  but keep sending my kids to private schools.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Another "fake" quote from OB
          OK I know the D.C. school voucher program has been a huge success for minority kids...
                 But I have to oppose it because...........
               You know...The people want CHANGE!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    If you are a husband and your wife gets pregnant and, at some point, she says to you  "I can feel it move!"  and you put your hand on her stomach and you feel a movement....and you know it is the life you two have formed ...and you still don't know that that is a life in there ......?
         well, maybe he has a point....at which second did that fetus go from being a mass of cells to the form we accept as humanity...
was it when the head was formed?  or when the little fingers and toes moved?  or when the brain found its shape inside the skull?  or was it when the sperm found its target and joined the ovum to start the whole process. 
         More important from Obama's point of view  ..."what will my pro-abortion voters want me to say?"
 
I have to give McCain credit ...Damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead.

Conservatives Arise!

Break from Politics

Posted by emjayne on Tuesday, August 12, 2008 4:52:19 PM
                          Haircuts All Around
 
A man and a little boy entered a barbershop together.  After the man received the full treatment--shave, shampoo, manicure, haircut, etc.--he placed the boy in the chair.  "I'm going to buy a green tie to wear for the parade, " he said.  "I'll be  back in a few minutes."
When the boy's haircut was completed and the man still hadn't returned, the barber said, "Looks like your daddy's forgotten all about you."
"That wasn't my daddy," said the boy.  "He just walked up , took me by the hand, and said, "Come on, son, we're gonna get a free haircut!"
 
Middle age is that perplexing time of life when we hear two voices calling to us, one saying, "Why not?" and the other saying, "Why bother?"
 
             New Fathers
A group of expextant fathers sat nervously in the hall.  A nurse beckoned to one of them and said, "Congratulations, you have a son!"
Another man dropped his magazine, jumped up and said, "Hey, what's the idea?  I got here two hours before he did!"
 
                 Pony Express
At a Milwaukee post office a woman complained to the clerk that a Pony Express rider could get a letter from Milwaukee to St. Louis in two days, and now it takes three.  "I'd like to know why," she scoffed!.  
The clerk thought for a moment, then his face brightened and he replied, " The horses are a lot older now?"

OK you can go back to stewing about the campaign again!

Peggy Noonan speaks

Posted by emjayne on Friday, August 08, 2008 12:40:39 PM
Declarations  by Peggy Noonan.  "You're in a plane and your're flying over the campaign at a level of about 10,000 ft and you look down and see.  Not much has changed....
...............................................
There's a thing out there and it's big, and latent, and somehow always taken into account and always ignored, and political professionals always assume they understand it.  It has been called many things the past 50 years, "the silent center,"  "the silent majority,"  "the coalition,"  "the basis."   The idea of it has evolved as its composition has evolved, but the fact that it is big, and relatively silent, and somehow always latent, maintains.  And watching the McCain event--vroom vroom [50,000 Harleys] ---one got the sense it is perhaps beginning to pay attention to the campaign.  I see it as the old America, and if and when it reasserts itself, the campaign will shift, and in ways you can even see from 10,000 feet."
        
       The dots in the center take the place of the rest of the article...worth reading.  You can all find Peggy Noonan so I don't need to put in a link, right?

Rush Limbaugh says

Posted by emjayne on Wednesday, August 06, 2008 3:33:11 PM
 "When one side sees their own country as the problem, and the other side sees their own country as the solution, somebody tell me where you compromise with that."
 
Jay Leno says "Congress is going on a much-deserved break.  They got so much done this year.  They don't even call it a vacation;  they call it a recess.  Let's see who gets recesses:  kindergarten, Congress, and juries.  The three you can't trust to make an adult decision."
 
Laura Ingraham says "What exactly had the Democrat-controlled House done for us lately?  Well, it authorized the FDA to regulate tobacco, it apologized for slavery and Jim Crow laws, and , let's not forget, the House Transportation Committee moved to ban in-flight cell phone use."

Time to write your Rep

Posted by emjayne on Sunday, August 03, 2008 9:14:29 PM
The Repubs are gathering again on Monday!!!  I just wrote to my Rep. to express my disappointment that he wasn't there on Friday when the Republicans finally had some courage.  I told him they were meeting again on Monday so I will see what his reaction is. 
        And Obama did another flip on the drilling question, infuriating his base!!!   HaHaHa

from the Patriot Post

Posted by emjayne on Wednesday, July 30, 2008 7:47:16 PM
"Obama has benefited from a week of good images.  But substantively, optimism without reality isn't eloquence.  It's just Disney."
              New York Times columnist David Brooks
 
"I go on the floor of the House every day and deal with people who don't want to give health care to poor little children in America."
             Nancy Pelosi
 
"What is amazing this year is how many people haved bought the fundamentally childish notion that, if you don't like the way things are going, the answer is to write a blank check for generic 'change', empowering someone chosen not on the basis of any track record but on the basis of his skill with words."
          Thomas Sowell
 
Obama is a three-year senator without a single important legislative achievement to his name, a former Illinois state senator who voted 'present' nearly 130 times.  As president of the Harvard Law Review, as law professor and as legislator, has he ever produced a single notable piece of scholarship?  Written a single memorable article?  His most memorable work is a biography of his favorite subject:  himself."
                Charles Krauthamer
 
"Barack Obama wrote a prayer to God which he placed in Jerusalem's Wailing Wall last week.  The prayer note was retrieved by a seminary student and published in an Israeli newspaper.  Everybody in Israel wanted to know if it was addressed, 'Dear Dad'"
     Argus Hamilton

Troop: Sigh of Relief

Posted by emjayne on Friday, July 25, 2008 2:10:33 PM
A trip by Obama to the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany (while not on the published schedule) was cancelled because Obama decided "it would be inappropriate to make a stop at a U.S. military facility [where the wounded are recovering] as part of a trip funded by the campaign."
     Two points...weren't we told that the speech in Germany was not a campaign speech?  and ...did he get word that the troops wounded in Iraq would not be the most welcoming audience to meet after his "lack of support"  (euphemism) for their efforts?
        Have to give him credit for a wise decision!!

Global Poverty Act!!

Posted by emjayne on Friday, July 25, 2008 10:51:43 AM
You may all be aware of this bill in Congress, but while I heard rumors of it I had no idea of the scope.  For those of you in the same boat, let me fill you in.
    S.2433  Sponsor...Barack Obama!
       A bill to require the President to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to further the U.S. foreign policy objective of promoting the reduction of global poverty, the elimination of extreme global poverty, and the achievement of the Millenium Development Goal of reducing by one half the proportion of people worldwide, between 1990 and 2015, who live on less than $1 a day.
        (The Congressional Budget office estimates the cost at less than $1 million a year!)
    It was headed for debate in April 2008.
 
H.R. 1302   a companion bill basically the same as above ...sponsored by Rep Adam Smith , D. WA, and passed in the House by voice vote in Sept . 07.
 
         Neal Boortz was talking about this bill this morning .  If you have ever heard him, you can imagine his attitude.  Utter disbelief! 
He pointed out that this country has contributed more than any other to alleviate poverty in the world.  He also pointed out that we DON'T HAVE ANY EXTRA MONEY!!!  The initiative money that recently went out in checks to anyone who filed an income tax will only be paid in the future by the coming generations.  Congress still acts as if we didn't have a deficit!   A million for this, a few millions for that,...what the heck ...it's only a drop in the bucket.
 
           And who sponsored the bill in the Senate???  The one who hasn't done anything in the Senate,  who has voted Present how many times?, who had a committee which has never met.  who brags about His committee (that he isn't even on).  Maybe he will pay for the Poverty Act out of his own pocket..  No???  You think out  of ours???  
         
            I always think I have heard everything from this body we call our Congress until the next day.  I want a divorce!!!

Guess who!

Posted by emjayne on Wednesday, July 23, 2008 1:55:22 PM
"He reads a speech very well and handles controlled and fawning press with ease, but when he wings it he comes off worse than Bush.
   I guess it's not easy to remember all the things you said that you don't really believe."
     Quote of Sgt.Relic  in a comment in Skep  (too good not to spread around)
