October 29th, 2007 … it began.

Hard to believe I’ve been spewing digital blog-vomit for more than a year. Like many of my fellow bloggers, I ask myself only three very important questions every day.

1) Does anyone read this blog?
2) No seriously … does anyone read this blog? Hello? Echo!
3) Should I take a shower today?

Anyway …

Here are some of my uhhh … (better?) moments in case you missed them.

Their first meeting …

President Bush and President-elect Barack Obama are probably hoping their meeting Monday goes better than their first get-together, which left a bad taste in the mouths of both men.

Four years ago, Obama and other newly elected members of the Senate were invited to the White House for a breakfast meeting with Bush, who pulled the young Chicagoan aside.

“Obama!” Bush exclaimed, according to Obama’s account of the meeting in his second memoir, “The Audacity of Hope.” “Come here and meet Laura. Laura, you remember Obama. We saw him on TV during election night. Beautiful family. And that wife of yours — that’s one impressive lady.”

The two men shook hands and then, according to Obama, Bush turned to an aide, “who squirted a big dollop of hand sanitizer in the president’s hand.”

Bush then offered some to Obama, who recalled: “Not wanting to seem unhygienic, I took a squirt.”

Handshake and a squirt.

Looks like not much changed from when Clinton was in office.

I’m kinda pissed off.

If you haven’t seen it already, Michelle has the run-down.

I was watching Fox yesterday when the Carl Cameron piece aired. Despicable. Beyond despicable.

Let me clue you in, McCain aides, to what just happened. Here are some handy-dandy facts.

1) The ONLY reason the election was as close as it was is because Sarah Palin was on the ticket. If you would’ve picked Romney or Ridge or Lindsey Graham, you wouldn’t have managed more than about 30 electoral votes.

2) The LAST thing you need to be doing is pissing off conservatives by insulting the ONLY conservative that happened to be on your fucking ticket, and all of those that wouldn’t have voted for McCain had he picked someone else. You lousy bastards have the nerve to whine and cry like little princesses because you lost, so you join the wretched Palin-bashing bandwagon completely unable to see that conservatives at large HATE McCain for the bullshit he pulled. How Democrat of you.

3) Your charges are that she was “ill prepared”, and that she was a “shopaholic”, and that she answered the door in a bathrobe. Maybe … just MAYBE this election came down to people not being excited about your candidate because of … oh, I don’t know …

* Campaign finance reform?
* Gang of Fourteen?
* Comprehensive immigration reform?
* The 700 billion boondoggle?
* The refusal to NAIL that socialist to the wall given ample chances?
* No ANWR drilling?

Now we’re left with our last line of defense to this Socialist Steamroller - Mitch McConnell.

Dammit I am now beyond ecstatic that Republicans got their collective clocks cleaned in this past election. Worse off in the short term, better off in the long term. Kick the RINOs out. There are few Republicans left in American Politics these days. All we have now are elitist, wishy-washy retards trying to move to the center in order to beat the Democrats at their own entitlement game - looking in the mirror and blaming everyone except who they see. You assholes got exactly what you deserved, and this backbiting bullshit proves it.

When are “Republicans” going to realize that they cannot win trying to be better Democrats than the Democrats?

GRRRR!

From a Saturday Evening POST magazine I happen to have in my stash. From November 5th, 1960.

“To cast your vote intelligently is a duty.”

Unless it has something to do with looking up facts about your average woodland animal, the big wiki has issues.

Looking up Rahm Emanuel reveals this cute tidbit:

People who worked with Emanuel at that time “insist the once hard-charging staffer has mellowed out.”[9] They believe his penchant for sex with underage boys has made him more relaxed and happy. “You can always tell when he has had some good boy-fucking the night beforee,he is all relaxed and smiling,humming show tunes and dancing around the office.”He left the White House to accept a well-paid position in investment banking at Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein in Chicago, where he worked from 1999 to 2002 and reportedly earned US$18 million.[11]

The sun is rising, just like every other day.

While I believe America just voted for an unabashed Socialist as President, I also believe that we will only suffer for it in the short term. Those of us who cherish individual liberty AND personal responsibility will have plenty of work to do - but we’d have plenty of work to do even if the result was different.

Perspective, folks. We had a choice this year between crap, and crap. We chose crap. Whether it’s donkey crap or elephant crap doesn’t make a difference, it still stinks all the same and it’s a mess that’s going to have to be cleaned up over time. I for one am going to be more open about my beliefs from this point forward. My part to turn this Nation back into one of grown-ups, not one of complainers with an entitlement complex.

Personally, I’m thrilled that the 24/7 politics are over with.

Via DP:

CHICAGO, Ill. — Among the other voters who have shown up to vote at Shoesmith Elementary School this morning, where Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., will vote: Louis Farrakhan and William Ayers.

The company he keeps - just some guys from the neighborhood.

So … in honor of Barack2pus Obama:

Or … maybe not.

Don’t expect to see this on MSNBC. If there were two white guys with combat boots and a nightstick you can bet it would be plastered everywhere - AND if McCain wins this election, it would be a rallying cry for the Marxist left.

Instead … just a cell-phone video destined for the dustbin.
