Please secede. Please.

Please...

Why? Does anyone think that eating french fries and chips would be GOOD for you?

Score one for the home team

Congrats to Erick over at RedState and those with brains in the Georgia legislature, as the Justice Department precleared a Georgia law requiring more stringent IDs at the polls.

Now, the rest of the story

Now, here, we have a little more sense being made about the same issue...both links in the title.

Just a little follow-up: In Ohio, by law, all election boards in the 88 counties consist of 2 Dems and 2 Republicans; ergo, it is utterly comical to suggest that any board in the state would attempt to disenfranchise the voters of the county on either side.

Also--What's with not having photo ID? Why, oh why, would you NOT have photo ID? Don't most Americans DRIVE??????

My name is Al Sharpton...

and I'd like to vote in the Republican primary.

I still don't understand what the big deal is about standardized identification--you are who you are or you are not.
There is something fundatmentally wrong with this picture.
It is not racism to do something that affects blacks more than whites; if it were, it would also be racist to take any action that affects any two groups differently, an utterly insane concept. Placing a premium on the enforcement of corporate crime affects balding, middle-aged white guys more than anyone else; this is not racism, it is the truth.
That black people tend not to carry ID (in Lousiana, not Georgia, the state where the law takes effect,) and that the law will now require more stringent ID, does not make the law anti-black, because it affects white guys without IDs too. The day there is a law that says only black people have to carry ID will be the day this complaint becomes legitimate.

Every burden that is alleged to be primarily placed on the backs of black people IS NOT EVIDENCE TO BE USED IN THE CAUSE OF TARRING-AND-FEATHERING WHITE PEOPLE WITH THE CHARGE OF RACISM.

The Blogroll and Sorta

A note to all those who would visit this site, from either side of the "Big Ditch"

My blogroll is short; but it is very, very simple.
If you are a liberal, you want to visit the bottom two sites--Illiterate in Four Languages and Politics1.
If you are a conservative, you want to visit anything else--Ann Coulter, Hugh Hewitt, Southern Appeal, Volokh, Kaus, others.
I include the liberal sites as both a courtesy to others (Illiterate) and as a valuable political gossip site (Politics1) Both sites contain potentially lethal doses of moonbat syndrome; you have been warned.

How kind of them...

The title of this post, and of the article itself, says it all.

The Weather

I'm bored with my APUSH stuff, so in my five minute break...My weather widget says that this week (Sun-Fri), the temps. will range from 70-80 and the lows from 58-64. Beautiful!

Some RedState brilliance

This from Nick Danger over at RedState regarding someone's brilliance that all taxpaying citizens have a "right" to meet with the President.

I did the math on this. It's kind of a dumb idea.

There are roughly 200 million adults in the United States. If we each get a five-minute meeting with the President, that's one billion minutes the President has to spend in these meetings.

Dividing by 60, we get 16.6 million hours. Figuring 12-hour days, that's 1.3 million workdays that the President has to spend in these meetings.

If he does that 365 days a year, it will take a President 3,800 years to hold a 5-minute meeting with each adult.

Assuming that only 1% of the people would actually want these meetings, we're down to a mere 38 years of non-stop 12-hour days of meetings.

Leaving aside the question of the two-term limit, this still seems impractical.

It's a wonderful appeal to Stupid People™ though, so I can see why certain partisans would advocate such meetings. To those who can't or won't think, it probably sounds totally reasonable that the President should meet with anyone who wants a meeting.

What the...

What the heck? She just walked right up and stabbed the guy? Yikes...

Kit Kat

Give me a break...link in the title.

Is NOTHING good enough for these people? I agree with Netaniyahu.

The New Like

A Yahoo! story about Kanye West...does the man know no other words besides "just"?

Please...the point of the article aside, the man has no command of the English language. Shock, shock.

Nota Bene--This post is linguistic, not political, in nature.

More brilliance

More ingenuity from media darling Cindy Sheehan...link in the title.

Also, read Ann Coulter's latest piece on Cindy Sheehan (it's sourced in the top link, too.)

Have you no shame, Governor?

Everyone here knows that I'm among the most ardently conservative Republicans there is. This said...

I hereby call for the resignation of the Governor of Ohio, forthwith. The man, who clearly has no backbone whatsoever, would do well to at least have the decency to back out so that his party does not get COMPLETELY creamed in the '06 midterms and states.

Link with the title.

Mike Coleman's spot-on.

Give 'em an inch...

...and they'll take the whole freakin' city.

What were the people of New London thinking when they elected the morons currently trying to destroy people for the sake of...what? Better yet, were they thinking?

Check out Reason Online for their take...

Absolutely insane videos...

Thanks to Feddie and Erick for the scoop on the quite moonbat-worthy video linked to above.

People of the Phillippines...

...I have returned. But I'm not MacArthur...really.

I'm going back to blogging now because I've discovered in the last ninety minutes just how fun it can be. Now...for why I'm really here.

First--to share two quotes, both courtesy (at least at an intermediate level) of nice folks at RedState.

"There is no Left. There is only right and wrong."
"History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it." Churchill (the second, obviously)

Second--to share two objectionable bits of news...which you'll have to read other posts to learn of.

I'm back

And I intend to start posting again...maybe.
