MN senate race

What a mess they have in Minnesota. Penned here by MICHAEL STOKES PAULSEN

You would think people would learn. The recount in the contest between Norm Coleman and Al Franken for a seat in the U.S. Senate isn't just embarrassing. It is unconstitutional.

He concludes:

And what if there is no reliable way to determine in a recount who won, consistent with Bush v. Gore's requirements?

The Constitution's answer is a do-over.

Sounds like a good idea to me. We saw the voter's remorse in Georgia when Saxby Chambliss won in a landslide. This do-over would be a good measure of the sentement of the country considering what the new president is doing...

HT to Keith T.

Campus snowball fight...

See what happens when you through a little snow in with some college students still drunk on the Obama presidency?

Kids who don't learn about snowballs from childhood end up arrested...another reason to fight global warming...or maybe we should promote it so nobody gets hurt by another snowball?

CAROLINE KENNEDY ENDS SENATE SEAT BID

Has Mrs. Schlossberg paid her dues to the Democrat party with this 'campaign loss'? Does she now have her sights on Uncle Ted's MA seat? It can't be long now.

UPDATE: This NYT article eludes to this...

The person told of her decision said that Ms. Kennedy’s concerns about the health of her uncle, Senator Edward M. Kennedy, who suffers from brain cancer and was hospitalized after suffering a seizure Tuesday, prompted her to withdraw.

Campaign promise?, what campaign promise?

This is interesting... it says in part:

not everything that we talked about during the campaign are we going to be able to do on the pace we had hoped

I would love to see Peggy Joseph's reaction to this...

Television 2009

We own a 15-1/2 year old, 27" television. It works great. I have no reason to upgrade it. Last night I briefly turned on the Texas vs. Ohio State game. Apparently, the folks broadcasting the game think everyone has a wide screen set. The graphic overlays were cut off on the left and right side of the screen. It was horrible. I am sure there are lots more poor people like me out there.

I have also heard that the money set aside for the $40 coupons for converting the new digital signals to work with older TVs is gone. I did not get one.

What am I going to do? Who is going to help me?

Have no fear, thank goodness for BOTO, because I am sure he will give me a new wide-screen TV (in addition to paying my mortgage and putting gas in my cars).



This is the American Dream!

Leon Panetta

So we have another Clinton retread in the new administration. We knew BOTO (Barack Obama, The One) had to sell his soul, but this is getting ridiculous...

...fade to fire-light illuminated figure holding pitchfork, laughing maniacally -- Bill Clinton.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year. Hope your year is healthy, happy and prosperous.
