Some skeptics of Mr. Romney's $5 Trillion dollar plan are concerned that he has not indicated any specific, substantial cuts he would make to the budget. They accuse him of acting more like a magician, ready to pull a rabbit out of his hat after the election. That's not fair. It is more like the goose that lays the golden egg!

Gold right now is running about $1750. So if Mr. Romney does produce a goose that lays a golden egg each day, and the egg weighs one pound, that would be worth $28,000 every day! Such a golden goose could produce Mr. Romney's estimated fortune of about $250,000,000 in less than twenty-five years, so he knows whereof he speaks! Now, we can hear the skeptics saying, "who ever heard of a one pound egg?" But this is serious business, and we need to hear him out. At $28,000 dollars a day, it would take the goose that lays the golden (one pound) eggs almost 500,000 years to cover the $5 trillion in question. But Mr. Romney has a plan to do it in four years.

Sarah Palin will do just what Obama has done, select a candidate who has what she lacks to create a strong ticket. In this case, Palin’s geographical knowledge has come into question. She will need to find someone significantly stronger in this area, but who also fits McCain’s approach of selecting someone in the same mold. This may not be as difficult as it sounds. Perhaps we can assist Governor Palin in her quest:

She heard France,
She bought Todd silk underpants!"

There are leaders and followers. Followers don't lead, and leaders don't follow.

Mavericks, on the other hand, don't follow, and don't lead, because if they could convince anyone to follow them, they'd be leaders.

Seems to me a maverick is the worst possible candidate to be an executive, because he couldn't get anyone behind him to get anything accomplished. Worse still is a follower who thinks he is a maverick, isn't, and imagines that being a maverick is a good thing in a presidential candidate!

What does he think this job requires, anyway? Wandering off on your own around the wilderness in Wyoming? Look, I'm a maverick! Oh, there's no one here to hear me...Wheeee! I'm a maverick! Wait till I get back so I can tell them all what a maverick I am! (They'll be so impressed, I'm sure they'll follow me NEXT time I wander off....)

I got another maniacal anti-Muslim rant in my inbox, and managed to refrain from flaming out the relatives. SO, my question is, how best to overcome the non-sense? I need help: this should be humorous, insightful, concise, non-confrontational, etc., to be persuasive. And yet, all I want to do is scream at the bigotry. So....

Please take a look and then test out your best responses!

Today a man convicted of stabbing to death a troubled woman with whom I grew up will be sentenced. Her father will make a Victim Impact Statement to the court today. It is one of the more powerful things I have read in a long, long time. I thought you should see it. Read More

Let's get the press corps to push Bush for a promise: No Presidential Pardon for Rove, Scooter, or anyone else guilty (or even facing trial) for criminal activity in his cabinet.

You'll recall that his father pardoned the Iran-Contra criminals before he left office.
http://www.nytimes.com/books/97/06/29/reviews/iran-pardon.html
'Mr. Walsh bitterly condemned the President's action, charging that "the Iran-contra cover-up, which has continued for more than six years, has now been completed."'

This is all in keeping with Bush Jr. We need to make him promise NOW not to cover up his administration's crimes. Read More
