The Bad Restaurant
re: Run by people who don't like food or
customers.
Let's say you have a restaurant.
Would you hire people to work there that did not like to serve?
Would you hire cooks there that did not like food?
Would you put the cheapest chairs and tables and tell customers to bring their own utensils?

The Success of George W. Bush
re: Conclusions of his effect on the government and society are
devastaing.
I have to admit and put to you an unseemly conclusion that George W. Bush has had an extremely successful presidency.
Not probably in the way that the masses that voted for him the first two times would think, I feel.
Not probably regarding the issues that the masses that have grown to hate him would consider either.

The Other Ron
re: Another Choice for Disenchanted Republicans
To some of you Republicans who are wincing now at your own party's ads, who are grimacing at the demise of your cherished conservative values, who have in the past respected clear leadership and steadfast adherence to traditional core Republican values - I still want you to vote.

Double Down
re: The Economic Rescue and the Mounting
Debt
The shoot-from-the-hip gambler that Bush is gets one final chance to Double Down on another Gigantic Bet - another of his Hunches - before he gets thrown out of office.

Numbers
re: Staticstical Comparisons ad hoc
The preachings of Brother Joseph. Numbers have a way of speaking for themselves. Don't they? Here they are devastatingly brutal.

Questions
re: Questions to the Conscience
Brother Joseph has some quite serious. Questions to ask of the American public.
Not enough people seem to ask these things before foolishly rushing in.

Alaskan Separatist Crazies
re: More Dangerous Radical Associations
There is a reason certain people go away to live up in Alaska.
Part of it is the pioneer spirit, of course.
Alaska is the Last Frontier, state-wise.

Have A Beer With McCain /Palin
re:
The strategy that worked for George W. Bush the first time
around.
Now that is has become an American Idol style election
it has become the choice of who you would rather drink a beer with,
rather than who has the best policies for the American people.
It is much easier to choose that way, than to actually study the issues.

Putin His Name On It
re:
Russias fall and Putins rise.
The Soviet Union falls after decades of putting
money into military to compete with US and
coddling their citizen into docile idiocy with
inept paternalistic policies.
They are bankrupt, morally and financially.
The final straw credited to the Reagan star wars bluff, but given far too much credit.
It was years in the making.

He is not your typical Republican. To say the very least he is not.
I have often had the pleasure of political discourse with him many times and always enjoyed it.

Presidential Obfuscation
Previously Posted Elsewhere November 2005
re: Reaction to Bush speech on Iraq War
The President's speech was another smoke and mirrors presentation before a military crowd who responded to his every flag waving utterance.
But it was all misguided, as is the basic policy he has put forth from the beginning. Further obfuscation. A sham.

Hearts & Minds

We are told that this battle is one to win the hearts and minds of the Iraqui people.
To win them over to "our side". The democratic way. The open way.

Better Left Undone

There is a school of thought from the back rooms and insiders of the conservative movement that the objection to Rowe v. Wade is better served as a CAUSE than to have its demise be wrought from a too-conservative court.

POLITIX
Politics is my sports.
I like following the game of it. Keeping track of the players and
the moves they make, or miss.
I also like my team to win.
I feel strongly about many things so I want to offer my own voice
to the cacophony of the ultimate social intercourse.
This is my two-cent soapbox.
