I cannot take credit for this idea, but when I heard someone relate this to me, I thought it was spot on!
Here is a way to secure the flying public. A bomb proof room is constructed at the airport. The flier is placed in that room. He is then bombarded by a full spectrum radio frequency waves. He is then bombarded by all cell phone frequencies. He is then bombarded by a series of percussion waves. If the flier is packing explosives of any kind ... well ... he'll be blown up on the spot! There you go ... problem solved. You could pass the cargo through a similar type of machine. This is good. The terrorist is killed ... no innocent victims ... no need for a body cavity search!
-----------------------------------------------
Here is a list of the Republicans who voted for the Food Safety Act. Here is yet another statist bill ... taking away American's rights and placing control of the food supply into the hands of Monsanto and the factory farms it controls. That's it! I decided that I'm going to buy a bunch of goats and I'm going to let them loose in my yard!!
Lamar Alexander (Tenn)
Scott Brown (Mass)
Richard Burr(NC)
Susan Collins (Maine)
Chuck Grassley (Iowa)
Judd Gregg (NH)
Mike Johanns (Nebraska)
Richard Lugar (Indiana)
Olympia Snowe (Maine)
David Vitter (Louisiana)
Lisa Merkowski (Alaska) ... misspelling intentional!

Tea Party conference call
Thank You Jenn Beth Martin for putting this conference call together. All of the six men that spoke on the call were outstanding! Just from the content of the call alone, any one of these six men would be excellent choices.
Republican Study Committee
Jim Jordan (R-OH) This guy is from Ohio ... so I liked him automatically. He sounded very principled and resolute.
Louie Gohmert (R-TX) He said "it's not up to the government to make money for the taxpayers ... that's the taxpayers job." That's brilliant! This guy has a lot of heartfelt passion. You could feel the conviction in his voice.
Energy and Commerce Committee
Both of these guys were outstanding! TPP did an instant poll on who the listeners favored. Here are the results.
Barton 52% Very informative. He sounded pretty solid.
Stearns 34% I liked the comments by Stearns. He seemed more focused on jobs and cutting the capital gains tax. He also seemed more focused on trade issues.
I appreciated hearing the first question for Ellen. She brought up the whole Compact Florescent Bulb issue. That was the same question I had in mind. Thanks Ellen. I too do not see the wisdom of forcing these Mercury Bombs on to the pubic. How does introducing mercury into the environment improve the environment? Why should we expose the public to poison in an effort to reduce the carbon footprint? It's inane and insane.
This brings up Fred Upton. He was not on the call.
Upton 3%... no way! This is the man that gave is compact fluorescent bulbs. He also co-sponsored Cash for Clunkers. No thank you.
Appropriations Committee
Both of the guys for the chair listed below were great! I don't think it would be a mistake to have either of these two as chair of the appropriations committee. Both of these guys are on the same page and will strongly support the other. Either of these two would make a great chair for this all important committee.
Jerry Lewis (R-CA) I forget how he scored ... but obviously it was below 20%
Jack Kingston (R-GA) 80% I'm leaning toward Mr. Kingston. He seemed more succinct and clear in his remarks.

North Korea
When my children were younger, I wanted to find a simple way to explain the difference between free market democracy and closed market totalitarianism. All I had to do was show them a picture like the one below.
"Look at North Korea." I would point to where all the darkness is. I would then point to the little dot of light and say, "This is the city where Kim Jong Il lives. He's the dictator of North Korea. He likes to have the lights on for himself. But he doesn't like the lights on for everyone else." Then I would point to South Korea and say, "Look at all the people there that have lights on at night. That place has a lot of freedom and democracy. Which country would you rather live in?" Of course, they both pointed to South Korea.
It's time to give South Korea some nuclear missiles. Either that ... or we're going to have to make some tactical strikes against the North's nuclear capability. I know this opens up a can of worms ... but what else can be done? We can wait for Kim Jong Il to finally kick the bucket and hope that his 27 year old son will be more level headed than his crazy old man. What are the chances? Somebody has to say, "Look Kim Jong, if you continue with this behavior, your wonderful facility with all of your centrifuges ... the one you like to show off to American college professors .... we will reduce it to a pile of ashes. You got it crazy fool?" Unfortunately, Hillary may be a little shy regarding the North Koreans. After all, wasn't all of that appeasing going on with Kim Jong and the transfer of missile technology to China via the Loral corporation going on during her husbands presidential administration? Yes it was. John Bolton ... we need you now.

Hands off my Teabag!
Referencing Bill Maher's propensity to still refer to Tea Party activists as "Tea Baggers," the brilliant Rush Limbaugh came up with a new slogan for the weary masses (especially the masses waiting in line at the airport), "Hands off my Tea Bag!"
Down the line of the monologue, he posed the question,
"How far away is this from Checkpoint Charlie?"
I like this little article by Mark Hemingway
Exactly what I was thinking Rush.
This previous sentence points out a simple truth ... a truth that the left hates. Rush is my ditto head. He is the product of my constitutional American voice. He is the product of the constitutional American voice as a whole. He is exposing how the media coverage of the relatively few invasive incidences committed by the TSA is pumping up a frenzy. This is all done to steer the masses toward the scanners. Excellent point. Oh wait, Rush Limbaugh said that ... again ... he just said what I was thinking. He is my ditto head.
I wonder how much George Soros makes every time someone walks through one of his scanners ... Oh wait ... he only used to own shares of Rapidscan. I guess he just sold his 11,000 shares last week. I'm still looking for the Hemingway article about it ... but here is another good article by him in regards to Soros.
Don't ever forget folks: We are on the side of the Constitution. Don't ever forget that the rule of law is on OUR side.
P.S. The first caller on Rush gave big Kudos to Mark Steyn and his two day fill in stint at EIB last Thursday and Friday. I completely concur ... as did Rush.

Let the march of the Hijab begin
I decided that I'm going to purchase a bunch of Hijabs and give them away to law abiding American women that are on their way to the airport. Perhaps I'll stake out the "Park and Fly" parking lot to set up my little Hijab stand. Then these law abiding American women can pat themselves down and avoid the invasion of privacy being perpetrated by the TSA. Go ahead ... click on the link to read about how mentally retarded the Federal Government truly is.
Here is a quote from the linked article:
"The head of Homeland Security has indicated the government is considering the request of an Islamic organization that has suggested Muslim women be allowed to pat themselves down during a full body search that is part of new enhanced procedures at airports."
Let me ask you this. What would happen if a blond haired, blue eyed, California girl decided to sport a Hijab as she approached the airport screening area? Would the TSA then profile this blond woman and question whether she was sufficiently "Muslim enough" to be eligible to do the self pat down? I guarantee that this is exactly what would happen. This government is retarded! They would figure out a way to fine the woman!
But hey, either way the "Dictator in Waiting" wins. If he cannot manage to create chaos and violence by shaking down the American public, then he can simply decimate yet another private sector business in the U.S. economy. Bravo!!!! Good job President "Oh Bummer."
Every American female flying this week (Muslim or not) should sport a Hijab.
----------------------------------------------------------
If you get a chance, watch "The Real George Washington" on the National Geographic channel. You will get a look at the real man behind legend. He was quite crafty and courageous.

Mark Steyn
Mark Steyn was brilliant in his opening monologue this past Thursday. He said something along the lines that all 300 million sets of American genitalia are now up for grabs. There's something about Steyn's dry wit with his accompanying British delivery that you can't help but appreciate. He basically announced that the republic was dead. He effortlessly points out how so absolutely backwards this whole thing is ... shakedown grandma and Americans with prosthetic legs ... but don't dare look under the Hijab. Feel up every law abiding citizen ... but ignore that guy flying in from Yemen. Mincing no words, Steyn says that if we accept this we'll accept anything. Where is the probable cause? Should we accept giving away our fourth amendment rights? To me, this whole action is just a trial balloon to condition the masses to accept a leaning towards a police state. Where is the common sense? How about reading the flight manifest? How about checking the "no fly" list? Oh my God .... no .... that would be profiling!
He pointed how planes were driven into buildings on 911 because people followed standard procedure. The only way the fourth plane was thwarted was because of the actions of a group of passengers who would NOT follow standard procedures. They decided to storm the cockpit.
I hear no stories about any new diligence toward cargo inspection. We recently had explosives stuffed into printer cartridges. This plot was thwarted by Saudi intelligence. Do we step up security and inspection of cargo? Noooooo ... we shake down public.
------------------------------------------------------------
But don't worry folks. John Podesta says the president can use executive orders and the armed forces to push through his progressive agenda. Why let the voice of the people get in the way? Right?
Is this acceptable to you?
Not to me!
-----------------------------------------------------------
I realize that my tone may be a bit sarcastic. My tongue may be a bit acidic. I know I may be labeled as a cook fringe guy. Perhaps I should lay off the gas a little bit. Many say I'm like "Glenn Beck" ... just more pissed off. Well let me tell you ... I was like Glenn Beck before Glenn Beck was like Glenn Beck. I was aware of George Soros way back in the day. I have been watching the currency and commodities markets for years and years now. I knew he was a nasty globalist way back in the 1990's. But like many Americans, I never gave a second thought that Soros would actually be ready to follow through. I never followed the trail of bread crumbs leading to his support of one radical left wing organization after another. Think what you will ... but no one person has done more to expose Soros for what he is than Glenn Beck. He's a nut job right? No ... because the real nut jobs are the birthers. Even Glenn Beck won't play the birther card ... well, I will play the birther card. I am not ashamed to be a birther. I believe we have been infiltrated by a usurper ... a changeling. Earlier this year I urged states to pass laws requiring that future presidential candidates prove their constitutional eligibility. It looks like a rep in Texas is making the attempt.
Good for you Leo Berman. Keep up the good work. Over the next year, I will be calling every Republican state representative in states with Republican majorities and Republican governors to urge them to introduce similar bills. Every single possible roadblock must be put in the way of the man-child dictator
--------------------------------------------------------
An article just came out that says 1 in 5 Americans are mentally ill. I can here the jokes already. Rachel Maddow has probably already made the connection that surely most of the mentally ill are Teabagger friendly. Well I got news for you. My brazen and brusque commentary reflects the thoughts of many more Americans than the media would lead you to think. To me, it is mentally ill to believe that a system of government which has never worked in the past in any country on the planet will suddenly work now.
-------------------------------------------------------
The decision in a New York courtroom this past week shows exactly why enemy combatants should not be tried in civilian courts. Out of 284 counts, Ahmed Ghailani gets nailed on one measly count of conspiring to destroy American buildings. A bunch of evidence gets thrown out because this terrorist was not read his Miranda rights. The evidence that shows he actually purchased the bomb making materials was thrown out. This is a miscarriage of justice. Non-citizen enemy combatants picked up in foreign countries DO NOT have the rights of American citizens ... plain and simple! Military tribunals have been used since the formation of our republic. There is no reason to move away from this form of meting out justice.

Don"t touch my junk
"Don"t touch my junk." You gotta love it! This is what one commercial airline flier said to the TSA agent when he confronted the issue of being subjected to "unreasonable search and seizure." He is flying on a terror target. So I understand the urge by the Feds to have more information ... but at what cost? Here are the choices: 1) look at my naked body with backscatter radiation, or 2) just grope my whole body ... and my junk! Meanwhile CAIR comes out and demands that for women wearing the Hijab, the TSA screener should only touch the neck.
That's supposed to be reasonable?! buzzzzzzzzzz ....wrong!
So he walks away from his flight ,,, boom! his loss ... walk away. Oh? That's not good enough for you Mr. Federal government. Now you want to fine him $10,000? What crime did he commit by refusing to fly under your intrusive conditions. He walked away from a planned trip, his money for the ticket refunded ... and yet this is not good enough for you? You want to fine him because what? ... he had a bad attitude about it? Nooooo ... he left a secure area ... so now he is whaaaat? ... a terror suspect? Yet Napolitano is being pressured to make exceptions for the sake of the sensitivities of Muslims. This is outrageous! THIS FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS OUT OF CONTROL!! Not only that, this Federal government is inept to boot.

Go Browns!
On November 2 patriots all across America won. Despite the mainstream media downplay, this was a landslide ... an historic victory for Republicans. This was a repudiation of Pelosi ... a repudiation of Obama ... a shot across the bow ... a rejection of big government and big spending. This was America standing up for states rights! Thank you America.
Last Sunday the Browns beat the Patriots. This made me very happy. It was probably the best game I have seen the Browns play in fifteen years. There was a bit of irony around these parts. Patriots lost here on November 2, and the New England Patriots lost here on Sunday. This perpetually economically depressed region of Northeast Ohio returned the loony Dennis Kucinich and Betty "the buffoon" Sutton back to congress. We will never learn around here. I cannot wait until one of these seats is eliminated in redistricting!
I am really looking forward to the Browns vs. the Jets coming up here in less than an hour. It has been a long time since I could say that about a Browns team.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Update:
Browns lose 26-20 in OT in one of those "instant classic" games. A great game despite the outcome!

Real story of Thanksgiving
Anyone with a conscientious mind should put a tape recorder up to the radio speaker and hit the record button when you hear "The Real Story of Thanksgiving." What is that? It's a story about the opening act of the Pilgrims. It's about the political structure of the time. In a nutshell, the original setup was collectivism. The land was worked, crops were planted, animals domesticated, etc. However, the land was owned by the village ... not the individual. The men got lazy ... "why work when you can F**k!" After the dilution of the will, by means of the diminishing urges to be responsible, the early Pilgrims almost starved that first winter. Having no skin in the game kills motivation. That is what has been happening to us.
Hold up that microphone and push record. The next day go to your Thanksgiving event and push play. This may cause a bit of belching and groans ... just tell them to listen to the words. Don't let their predisposition to hate the messenger get in the way of the story. It is profound.
I wish this story could have been rendered by Paul Harvey. I don't know if he ever did the story of the story behind "the rest of the story."
For now you will have to tune in to the EIB network, and Rush Limbaugh in the last hour of his show on the day before Thanksgiving.
-------------------------------------------------------------
What happened in the time between: almost dying as a group of founders because of a collectivist approach, to drafting a constitution to express the nature of individual responsibility and freedom, to stumbling today straight back to a collectivist approach? Have we gotten that stupid?
How stupid do we have to be that we believe that: exposure of the environment to the five grams of mercury in a compact fluorescent bulb is worth saving "x" amount of carbon output? Perhaps the mercury in the bulbs is actually making us collectively stupid. It almost could make a good conspiracy theory. This ban of incandescent bulbs is the creation of an idiot Progessive Republican. This guy wants to lead the energy committee ... No Way!

Oops! :Lawrence Odonnel
I like to DVR MSNBC and zip through it to see what the other side is up to. I actually caught Lawrence O'donnell when he basically said he's sick of the Progressives. He just came right out and said the he is a Socialist (we already knew that) and that he wants to confiscate all guns and provide Medicare for all. I'm not shocked at his positions. I was more shocked that the statement just kind of blew over ... like he was saying, "I'm hungry. I think I'll stop at Burger King on the way home."
Kasich will kill slow speed rail
Article Link
Kasich wants to kill high speed rail from Cleveland, to Columbus, to Cincinnati. Thank you sir. This whole high speed rail for Ohio is a boondoggle. If it was truly high speed rail ... like a 200mph high speed rail ... I might be for it. But this super high speed train will average 39mph ... wohooo! It will take six and half hours to get from Cleveland to Cincinnati. That's only one hour longer than it takes to drive there. Wow ... that's fast! Look at the picture below. It's a Soviet style housing compound. This is what the socialists want for us. "Yes my name is Jeff; I live in apartment 99, Block C, Row 8, of Commune 16, which is located at stop number 22A of the 3-C high speed rail line." No, No ... wait ... let's build a tunnel all the way under lake Erie, under the state of Michigan, under lake Michigan, all the way to Chicago ...yeah, yeah, yeah, lets do that!

The Plain Dealer: The Rag That It Is
Here is an example of why the Cleveland area is so misinformed. The lead story is: Rubber costs drive tire prices higher. Despite the interesting double entendre for the consumer to consider, the real story is below the fold. The paper puts the inflationary pressure article at the top of the page. Down in the left hand corner we have the "You aint seen nothing yet my brother" article. This article is titled: A brief explanation of Fed's 'quantitative easing' program.
Don't you just love the word program.
The L.A Times article uses the term bolstering the economy in the first paragraph. The second paragraph tells us that we are basically stupid Americans by starting out with The term is a mouthful.
Here is how the article answers the question Where does the money come from?
"The Fed creates it from thin air, which it's permitted to do as the nations's central bank. But instead of printing actual cash, the Fed credits the accounts of banks and brokerages from which it buy Treasury securities."
Hopefully you just stop there and do not turn to page C4 to find out the dubious implications. To attempt to keep Northeast Ohio's population dim, we have a paper that would rather that you just get distracted and glance at the rest of the front page. To hell with profitability. I realize that this is the practice of journalistic tease ... make the reader want to turn the page and pass through the print ads. This is one newspaper that doesn't really want me to turn. This newspaper does not recognize the relative gravity of the news ... and what's really important.
This story is possibly the biggest story of the year getting shuffled under the cover of the election. The effect is going to be a quick heat up. Just as a bunch of Democrats are being frogmarched out to the Capitol building, the economy will "appear" to be turning up. Then the Dems will be saying, "All that good work is just now starting to pay off ... and you are pushing us out." Then when inflation accelerates next spring the Dems will say, "look, those folks get in and they instantly muck it up." This is very predictable.

Gary the numbers guy says that Obama is going to Mumbai to try to talk India into buying American bonds. We're about to be cut off by China ... so ... I think he might be right.
This guy has a thing about the number 11 ... that significant things happen on dates that add up to the number 11. He points to the date of the Health Care bill signing, the date stimulus signing, Barrack and Michelle's birthdays, Clinton's birthday, date of the stock market crash in 1929, etc.
Well tomorrow is an "11" day
... Nov. 15th is an 11 day
... Nov. 23rd is an 11 day
15th Obama is in Asia.
23rd is the week after his return..
Interesting ...
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Based on what I saw, I thought the stock market would take a dump as tax cuts would possibly expire.
Recent events force a reverse position.
The pumping of fiat cash will pump up the stock market. This along with the hope that the new blood in congress will stand firm and reign this monster in. Gridlock is good for Wallstreet.
The commodities markets are where the action is.
Bullish chart formations. Anyone want to fund me?
OHHHH ... IF I ONLY COULD HAVE HELD THE FIVE CORN CONTRACTS WAY BACK IN THE DAY ... JUST BEFORE THE HUGE BULL MARKET. I was so sure ... but entered the market three days early. If I could have held those I might have been a commodities trader today. Oh the lament!

"The Fed creates it from thin air, which it's permitted to do as the nations's central bank. But instead of printing actual cash, the Fed credits the accounts of banks and brokerages from which it buy Treasury securities."
Hopefully you just stop there and do not turn to page C4 to find out the dubious implications. To attempt to keep Northeast Ohio's population dim, we have a paper that would rather that you just get distracted and glance at the rest of the front page. To hell with profitability. I realize that this is the practice of journalistic tease ... make the reader want to turn the page and pass through the print ads. This is one newspaper that doesn't really want me to turn. This newspaper does not recognize the relative gravity of the news ... and what's really important.
This story is possibly the biggest story of the year getting shuffled under the cover of the election. The effect is going to be a quick heat up. Just as a bunch of Democrats are being frogmarched out to the Capitol building, the economy will "appear" to be turning up. Then the Dems will be saying, "All that good work is just now starting to pay off ... and you are pushing us out." Then when inflation accelerates next spring the Dems will say, "look, those folks get in and they instantly muck it up." This is very predictable.

Gary the numbers guy says that Obama is going to Mumbai to try to talk India into buying American bonds. We're about to be cut off by China ... so ... I think he might be right.
This guy has a thing about the number 11 ... that significant things happen on dates that add up to the number 11. He points to the date of the Health Care bill signing, the date stimulus signing, Barrack and Michelle's birthdays, Clinton's birthday, date of the stock market crash in 1929, etc.
Well tomorrow is an "11" day
... Nov. 15th is an 11 day
... Nov. 23rd is an 11 day
15th Obama is in Asia.
23rd is the week after his return..
Interesting ...

Based on what I saw, I thought the stock market would take a dump as tax cuts would possibly expire.
Recent events force a reverse position.
The pumping of fiat cash will pump up the stock market. This along with the hope that the new blood in congress will stand firm and reign this monster in. Gridlock is good for Wallstreet.
The commodities markets are where the action is.
Bullish chart formations. Anyone want to fund me?
OHHHH ... IF I ONLY COULD HAVE HELD THE FIVE CORN CONTRACTS WAY BACK IN THE DAY ... JUST BEFORE THE HUGE BULL MARKET. I was so sure ... but entered the market three days early. If I could have held those I might have been a commodities trader today. Oh the lament!

Aesthetic Renewal
Are you a nude runner, unshackled by the encumbrances of waste, greed, and corruption? Am I?
... or are you a deer in the headlights? I refuse to be!

QE2
Ben Bernanke's Quantitative Easing part 2 was barely a blip on the radar screen for national news. Overshadowed by the election news, the story was squeezed in as a lead in to a human interest story. Probably the biggest pocketbook story of the day was treated as an offhanded twenty second blip!
--------------------------------------------------
The president is going to spend 200 million dollars a day of our tax money for a ten day trip to India. He's taking forty planes and 3000 people and 34 war ships. This is outrageous!
-------------------------------------------------
Betty Sutton defeated Tom Ganley to retain her congressional seat. Betty is the lefty loon that came up with the brilliant "cash for clunkers" legislation. This program was the stupidest, most moronic program that could possibly be devised. Think of all the energy that was consumed to manufacture those gas guzzling vehicles. To replace those vehicles, another manufacturing process had to take place. The manufacturing process alone canceled out any reduction in emissions that may have resulted... and the taxpayer had to cough up $5,000.00 to bribe that person to crush their 2002 V8 Ford Explorer.
So I want to say thank you to Betty Sutton. Why? Three years after I purchased my 2002 V8 Ford Explorer, the same dealer sent me a letter to let me know that they were experiencing a shortage of my type of vehicle (Golly Gee, I wonder why? I guess a bunch of them got crushed). They said based on condition they were able to offer me up to "x" amount of dollars for my vehicle. It just so happens that "x" turns out to be $1000.00 more than I paid for it!
Supply and demand ... that's called a "market force" Betty ... you dumb, dumb, lame excuse for a congresswoman! It's ironic that she beat out the owner of a string of car dealerships. He could have run on that single plank ... cash for clunkers ... and beaten her. Instead he falls victim to some conveniently timed sexual harassment allegation that Betty dredged up from the past.

Full Circle
On the Sunday before the 2008 elections I cut down a mighty tree. It was once a vital tree growing in tandem right next to a tree of a different variety. As a result of the development that was put in next to me, one of the two trees died. That was in late 2007. The summer of 2008 was the summer of its full demise. That fall, with a sense of foreboding overtaking me, I decided to cut it down. It was sort of a guttural rejection to the mood ... it was a protest. I had just written "My Final Plea" to a very good friend of mine (see right hand column).I needed an outlet for the rage that I was feeling ... rage about the mistake that I suspected America was about to be make. So I cut it down chopped it up and burned it up ... incense to the world. It took a long time to finish off this tree. The wood was hard and it was a tall substantial tree. To me it represented the mighty and strong founding ideals that the forefathers put forward. I cut it down because I felt that these ideals were under assault. The intervening years have proved it to me.
Two years later this once mighty tree has been transformed into a wisdom chair.
Last week we had a good wind storm. The storm snapped a large branch of the willow tree out by the pond. Today I pulled out the chain saw and gladly began working on that thing. A day after the election and the resurgence of an awakened America., I savored the thought that this willow tree represents the weakness and rot of socialism.. The branches are very bendable but the core of the tree is susceptible to infestation and decay. WOW! That kind of reminds me of a leftist and/or progressive ... the rot and decay of collectivism, corporatism, statism, Stalinism, Marxism, Maoism, Fabianism, or whatever name you want to call it. Let's just call it anti-constitutionalism. I'm happy to cut this down and burn this branch.
Notice in the photo below ... how the core is rotted by infestation of wealth destroying insects. This is the Obama tree. Look to the right, this is what remains of Obamas tree house.

Teleprpmtor Alert!
I believe Obama may have shed the shackle of the teleprompters. Is he transforming? I mean true dictators don't need teleprompters ... It doesn't look authentic. I wouldn't doubt if the teleprompters go away more and more. It could be a great story for the lapdog media. TITLE: Obama: Teleprompter Training Wheels Come Off. SUBTITLE: Obama admits "it was a horrible crutch."
Man he looked pissed as he started out! I'm recording the rest.
He just said in his opening statement that we shouldn't try to re-fight the battles won over the last two years. In other words, he's saying, "I have got the structure and the framework installed (see recent Jon Stewart interview), now we must thoughtfully fill it out. We should not impede "progress" and tear down the framework that I have worked so hard to put into place."

Moving to: Idaho or Wyoming?
Naw ... but I do love the West! I need to be in D.C. holding feet to the fire!
... I have lost the battle here locally. The delusional Kucinich machine held. Corrigan will go down by a mere nine points. Although this is the closest anyone has gotten in a long time, it's a Pyrrhic victory at best. It's progress against the progressive fringe guy. But a loss is still a loss.
2010: Kucinich (D) 53%, Corrigan (R)44%
2008: Kucinich (D) 57%, Trakas (R) 39%
2006: Kucinich (D) 66%, Dovilla (R) 34%
2004: Kucinich (D) 60%, Herman (D) 34%
I'm stuck here geographically in between Dennis Kucinich and Betty Sutton. I may need to leave this county. Perhaps John Kasich and the Republican dominated legislature can eliminate one of these seats. That would truly be wonderful. Make the little dweeb or the mind warped leftist run again somewhere less favorable.
Look at this guy! Does he look mentally healthy to yo? He looks like a guy that has a program or a plan for someone like me.
Cuyahoga county and Northeast Ohio in general deserve all they get. This part of Ohio is perpetually behind the times ... lagging ... lagging. Look how wonderfully we have developed the lakefront ... blah! WHAT A JOKE! There is perpetual economic malaise here. It's OK ... keep doing same thing ... the results will be same. Think about this. The FBI has taken out the Dimora/Russo corruption machine; The citizens voted to re-organize county government; Yet now we have voted back in a Democrat machine. We voted in Fitzgerald as the county executive. Fitzgerald is the guy that was against the restructuring of the Cuyahoga county government from the get go. Judge Mcafferty, who is out on bond pending her trial in the local corruption scandal, garnered over 100,000 votes in a losing effort. At least she lost! This county will never learn! This is one of the dimmest swaths of any population I have ever seen.

John Boehner just gave a speech that brought a tear. He talked about working in the family bar ... "doin every dirty job." Here is a guy that is Bogart cool ... and yet overcome in moment. I think he revealed a sense of core value in this emotional speech. This heartfelt speech was a portrait of an American story. He is a kind of Mr. Smith goes to Washington. Reinforcements are on the way Mr. Boehner. Unfortunately Mr. Corrigan will not be there.
------------------------------------------------
Harry Reid wins in Nevada. That was an easy call. According to the media, the corruption machine that flipped it for him is called "having a strong ground game." I believe this election was surely stolen.
-----------------------------------------------
That freak Alan Grayson lost. That makes me very happy. Rick Scott took Florida. Again, very happy. Lots of Governor Republican pick-ups. That's huge! A lot of state legislatures went Republican. Also huge. Feingold is gone ... beautiful!
Allen West won ... this is a strong African American conservative voice.

I'm Optimistic
I stood at my local polling location to push for Peter Corrigan. I would say that eight out of ten people gave me the thumbs up for Corrigan. People have been hearing "Dump Dennis" for years and years. I think that the message is finally getting through. The choice is clear ... total government control, nanny state, higher taxes, open borders (Kucinich), or pro business, pro growth, pro jobs, lower taxes, secure the border (Corrigan).
The video below is a prime example of the ignorance of the Obama Koolaid drinkers. These are the people who put Obama over the top. Of course, Keynesian refers to an economic theory of John Maynard Keynes
not to the country Kenya. Yes, Obama subscribes to Keynes model. He subscribes to demand side economics. As a confirmed and stalwart birther, I find this video amusing.

How Stupid Do You Think I Am?
Nothing irritates me more than hearing that same stale piece of failed logic, "If we hadn't passed stimulus, it would be even worse than it is now." Or, "The stimulus helped us avert a second depression." Or, "We saved or created three million jobs." Of all people, you elite and highly educated lofty snobs should understand this failure in logic. This dumb uneducated commoner does. Most Americans do.
OK ... So I'm teeing off on a 170 yard par three. I hit this perfect shot ... swoosh. The ball is sailing pure. My ball hits the green and starts rolling toward the hole. Its now five feet away and looking like it might be on its way for my first hole in one! Suddenly an acorn hunting squirrel dashes across the green, right in the path of my ball, kicks my ball with his hind leg, and sends it eight feet left of the hole. I'm so rattled by this turn of events that I end up three putting for a bogey. Then I exclaim, "If that squirrel hadn't diverted my ball, I would have had my first hole in one!" WHAT? Wait a second. That ball was never closer than five feet. How could I possibly predict where it would have ended up? The ball could have rung around the back of the cup and lipped out to three feet. It could have hit the slope of the green just beyond the cup and rolled out another five feet. It could have hit the acorn that the squirrel had been chasing and kicked right. It's bogus and shoddy logic to make such a claim. Yet that same logic is good enough for our highly educated elitist president. Maybe he can take a cue from Chavez. Let's have the government take over all of the golf courses in the U.S.A. and turn them into wind farms. Wow! What an aesthetic release that would be!
Did this really happen to me? No ... but it could have ;~) ... or as Homer Simpson would say, "Schrodinger's cat ... Doh!"
Think about things like this when you step into the voting booth later today.
P.S. Obama stole my car and drove it into his ditch. Barney Frank is riding shotgun. I'm in the back ... not in the back seat. I'm outside pushing. Obama is flooring it, spinning his wheels, and getting me all muddy.
