- The first time I ever heard Sheryl Crow’s “All I wanna do” was when I was driving down Santa Monica Blvd in LA… also for the first time. That’s an event that you never forget if you’re from the other end of the country. It had just broken on the LA stations at the time, which pretty much dates the event. The lyrics made the moment, as you may imagine. I just caught it on one of the local stations here… and I can’t help being disappointed that she turned out to be so abysmal, politically speaking. Then again, I remember that most of the political talk shows out there were pretty abysmal as well. So, I guess I should have expected it.
- I was pleased to find an old friend in my mailbox , a couple of days ago. How they managed to fit him in there, I don’t know, but there he was. Turns out he has a blog… The Conservative Reader. And so I’m happy to add Art Smith’s Conservative Reader to my Blogroll.
- It has been said often enough, that Al Gore has the personality of a cigar store Indian. So, does that make Tipper Gore a tree hugger?
- By way of Improved Clinch I see we have a great show planned come August… the Meteor showers, known as the Perseids, will be happening. Usually, when they come along we try to find a lakeshore campsite… Say, Lake Erie State Park, or perhaps Lakeside or Hamlin. Kinda like a drive in movie, only the screen is straight up, and the show starts a lot later. John says the show is set for August 12th, which will be the new moon. We’ll likely go on the 11th, which would be a Saturday. The moon shouldn’t be much of an issue that night. You watch; it’ll rain.
- Michelle, I have to tell you, Tancredo showing up to the NAACP “Debate” was as good a sign of desperation on his part as any recorded thus far in this election cycle. At the risk of being crude, it’s called backside kissing. Increasingly, the NAACP has less relevance to America and Americans. Why on earth would you want to give such an organization credibility… to is precisely which are doing when you show up to such an event? I would think the rabble rousing that Julian bond engaged in, at the lead into the event, should have been a clue that winning hearts and minds in that venue is an impossibility. At least, it was to everybody but Tancredo.
- Mike Huckabee has on his sleeve and making visits to the School of Our Lady of the Blatantly Obvious. His comment? Michael Moore, known hereabouts as the Great Rotundo for his consistent ability to magically make lies into “truth”, is a great example of why the American health system is in the shape it’s currently in. Huckabee gets creds from here, but I can’t help noting his comments closely echo those made by PETA the other day.
- So now, we have a peace activist, calling for the death of a president? Peacefully, no doubt. Now, why we didn’t see this when Clinton invaded Bosnia would seem an open question. Perhaps it isn’t peace they’re after, just political power.
- I commend this article from Michael Gerson to your reading. Anyone who has the guts to, on the opening line of an op-ed in a MSM outlet , quote Chesterton of all people, has got something going for them.
- I see Boris Johnson the Tory MP is planning on running in the London Mayoral contest, against Red Ken. Now that would be a nice change.
- I see where Dirty Dingle is proposing a 50¢ per gallon “carbon tax” on gasoline. That period of time, between the time he actually makes that proposal in Congress, and the time he almost makes it to his getaway vehicle, will be most entertaining.
- Has anybody noticed we haven’t heard much about Al Gore’s kid and his status after being arrested for the drugs in his Prius, and being clocked in the thing at 100mph plus? the kit is still in the court system, and he hasn’t dropped off the planet. So, why isn’t that they media has not given us an update, much less the wall to wall coverage that they gave us of the Bush Twins, and their foibles?
- About 125 people got Salmonella at “Taste of Chicago” … which is about as concise a review on the event as I’ve ever seen. Doctor Joyner, as I recall, is from Chicago. How have to ask him for his insights on this one. I gather that the both involved, was selling version cuisine. Things that make you go “Hmmmm”.. and interesting coincidence, at least.
