Finally...

The world sees Hillary's true one and only talent: Cracking Nuts.

If this doesn't scare you...

Then you should see her other faces. Nice smile Hillary. That must be the "you're going to do as I say, right?" smile.

Her father called to tell her that the announcement of the scholarship award was in her hometown newspaper. It has yet to appear in the Denton Record Chronicle, but it should show up this week. Congratulations, Cindy!

We have to start a trial on Tuesday. I will keep you posted on the results.

Here is a link to Kathleen Parker's column entitled "Survival of the Stupidest." I only saw this today. I am at a loss for words. It's bad enough that these people have fallen for the environmentalist agenda so hard that they are avoiding having children, but the ones that are murdering their children in the name of preserving the environment for the future should be insititutionalized. On the other hand, I suppose that we all benefit from the disontinuance of that genetic line. WOW!

22 Ways to be a Good Democrat

22 Ways to Be a Good Democrat

THIS IS NOT SO HARD -- EVEN A CAVE MAN CAN DO IT....

1. You have to be against capital punishment, but support
abortion on demand.

2. You have to believe that businesses create oppression and
governments create prosperity.

3. You have to believe that guns in the hands of law-abiding
Americans are more of a threat than U.S. Nuclear weapons
technology in the hands of Chinese and North Korean
communists.

4. You have to believe that there was no art before
Federal funding.

5. You have to believe that global temperatures are less
affected by cyclical documented changes in the earth’s
climate and more affected by soccer moms driving SUV's.

6. You have to believe that gender roles are artificial
but being homosexual is natural.

7. You have to believe that the AIDS virus is spread
by a lack of federal funding.

8. You have to believe that the same teacher who can't
teach fourth graders how to read is somehow qualified
to teach those same kids about sex.

9. You have to believe that hunters don't care about
nature, but loony activists who have never been outside
of San Francisco do.

10. You have to believe that self-esteem is more
important than actually doing something to earn it.

11. You have to believe that Mel Gibson spent
$25 million of his own money to make "The Passion
of the Christ" for financial gain only.

12. You have t o believe the NRA is bad because
it supports certain parts of the Constitution, while
the ACLU is good because it supports certain parts
of the Constitution.

13. You have to believe that taxes are too low,
but ATM fees are too high.

14. You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and

than Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Edison, and A.G. Bell.

and is a very nice person.

17. You have to believe that the only reason

is because the right people haven't been in charge.

truth belong in jail, but a liar and a sex offender
belonged in the White House.

19. You have to believe that homosexual parades
displaying drag, transvestites, and bestiality should
be constitutionally protected, and manger scenes at
Christmas should be illegal.

20. You have to believe that illegal Democrat Party
funding by the Chinese Government is somehow
in the best interest to the United States.

21. You have to believe that this message is a part
of a vast, right wing conspiracy.

Federal workers the day off on Christmas Day ..........
but it's not okay to say "Merry Christmas."

Pat Sajak: Conservative Political Commentator?

I did not know that Pat Sajak, host of "Wheel of Fortune" wrote a column that seems to mainly support conservative politics and values. I am impressed, and I have new respect for this man.

On another note, based on this column along with the other articles that I have read on the subject, I am comfortable in declaring in my blog that Oprah Winfrey is a racist. This woman's lips have been, at least I believed, superglued solidly to Hillary Clinton's rear end. However, all support for her fellow female dissolves when the black man enters the race. So long Hillary. Vote for Osama...uh...Obama. Sorry, I get them confused. Where are the other black political extremists: Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Reggie Jackson, Tito, Jermaine and Janet Jackson, et. al?

Susan Estrich's column this week also discusses Oprah jumping to support Obama.

Fortunately, middle America understands the idiocy of west coast politics (specifically the nonsense that comes from Hollywood). You can bet that those people will support the candidate or candidates least likely to stand up for or protect America. Those people hate America and would sell us to the enemy if they were ever really in charge.

Celebrities Unqualified to Give Political Endorsements

by Pat Sajak (more by this author)

Posted 11/28/2007 ETUpdated 11/29/2007 ET

There have been so many debates and interviews and columns and profiles and polls, it’s hard to believe the election for president is still about 11 months away. Recently, celebrity endorsements have been making news, with Oprah Winfrey saying she would campaign for Barack Obama and Barbra Streisand making the not-so-stunning announcement that she was supporting Hillary Clinton.

There are reasons, of course, why candidates welcome such help. First, there’s the bonanza of free publicity. With so many names and faces vying for attention, what could be better than the burst of news such endorsements bring? There’s also the burst of money these high-profile celebs can bring in themselves and attract from others. Then there’s the extra attention and excitement these stars engender when they appear at a candidate’s political events. It’s far easier to attract a crowd in Des Moines if a big TV, movie or recording star is standing next to the politician.

Putting those obvious benefits aside, the question remains: do these endorsements really translate into votes? Does anyone decide which candidate to choose based on the recommendation of a TV talk show host or a singer/actress? If any group of citizens is uniquely unqualified to tell someone else how to vote, it’s those of us who live in the sheltered, privileged arena of celebrityhood. It’s one thing to buy an ab machine because Chuck Norris recommends it (he’s in good shape, isn’t he?) or a grill because George Foreman’s name is on it (he’s a great guy, so it must be a great grill!), but the idea of choosing the Leader of the Free World based on the advice of someone who lives in the cloistered world of stardom seems a bit loony to me.

This is America, and we celebrities have just as much right as anyone else to speak up about any issue. The problem is that more attention is paid to what we say because we’re well known. But why should that matter? O.J. Simpson is one of the world’s best-known celebrities, but I can’t imagine anyone following his lead in a voting booth.I suppose anything that gets people engaged in the political process is a good thing, but the idea that a gold record, a top-ten TV show or an Oscar translates into some sort of political wisdom doesn’t make much sense to me. Trust me, one’s view of the world isn’t any clearer from the back seat of a limo.
