Brilliant Play

Just one day after the supposed "greatest speech in history", John McCain has the press saying "Obama Who?" with his surprise pick of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin for his VP candidate.

It was thoroughly enjoyable watching Andrea Mitchell try to be unbiased this morning. The poor woman looked like she was gonna be sick.

Regardless the poo-pooing of the tin-foil crowd on MSNBC, the truth is that they are now scared.

They did not expect this, and they do not like to be out-smarted by the likes of McCain.

For those of you who may be a little jittery about her experience, and the extent to which this may be used against the McCain campaign.........let me put your minds at ease.

The "experience" issue is exactly WHY this is a brilliant pick.

Hillary Clinton tried for months to make Obama's non-existent resume' an issue in the campaign to no avail.

The syncophants in the mainstream press guarded his butt the whole way along.

So how to deal with such an issue if you are John McCain?

Very simple: Put Obama in a position where he will make experience the issue all on his own.

Considering that Obama was an invisible Senator with almost no voting record and zero accomplishments to his name, I believe that if the contest is going to be over experience, Obama will lose quite badly.

And guess what?

It will be an argument that he started all on his own.

Well played President McCain, well played.

The First Hit Comes........

Right IN THE MIDDLE of Hillary's speech lying about how she supports Obama, the Clinton people release a statement saying that Bill will NOT be attending B. Hussein's Thursday night acceptance speech.

Right in the middle. Check it out here.

Well played, and designed to suck all of that UNITY right out of the room.

I am sure that Clinton's followers got the message regardless what she said at the podium.

Think they are done Barry?

Better keep your head on a swivel, 'cause I believe they have just begun.

If Looks Could Kill......

I am sure that this will come up in the next few days....

If looks could kill, Hillary would be dead right now. Even my 14 year daughter noticed the look of contempt on Michelle O's face through the first half of Hillary's speech.

She lightened up right about in the middle.

I am sure one of her handlers got to her and told her to lighten up for the cameras.

The speech itself?

Pure Vanilla.

Hillary was truly on fire when she spoke about HERSELF, not so much the few times she even mentioned B.Hussein.O.

She said what she had to say, but after all these years it is not hard to tell when a Clinton is full of it, and it was obvious to all but the cat that was watching it with me.

Hillary Speaks

I decided to watch the Hillary Clinton speech at the Democrat Convention tonight as it is probably the first entertaining thing that would be happening in this snoozefest.

I admit it, the dark undercurrent of angry Clinton supporters on the convention floor does draw my interest.

Will there be a protest? Maybe a bit if bra-burning?

The possibilities are endless!

Of course we all know she will be a good soldier and throw her support behing B.Hussein.O in the strongest terms she is capable of, but her supporters just MAY be a different story.

Stay tuned.

Speaking of TOOLS....

Not to be outdone in the "who is the biggest Tool in Wisconsin Politics" contest, Russ Feingold ( who has told a few embarrassing stories of his own), has submitted to Wispolitics yet again the same editorial trying to pitch his now discredited claim that Oil Companies are purposely sitting leased oil wells.

This is of course a lie, and Russ knows it. Check it out here for a grin.

Here is what is REALLY happening with oil leases here.

But who cares about that? Certainly nobody in Wisconsin Media.

Besides, he can't tell the truth, which is that Democrats actually WANT higher prices, so a nice obfuscation will do in the place of nothing.

Again, Wisconsin deserves better.

Number One TOOL is more like it..

Well, well.

Here we are dealing with yet ANOTHER embarrassing LIE on the part of Rep. Steve Kagen.

This is the same joker who claimed right after his election that he had "confronted" Karl Rove in the bathroom of the White House. This of course, turned out to be a total fabrication.

Check out the story here.

Now he is claiming that Karl Rove has made him the NUMBER ONE TARGET in the upcoming elections.

Aside from the fact that Rove doesn't even work in the White House anymore, I am pretty sure that Rove has to actually look Kagen up when anyone mentions him to remember who he actually is.

You remember those kids in school who always told lies to puff up thier own importance?

I recall sitting by in embarrassed silence on one particular occasion while a classmate regaled us with tales of the Jimi Hendrix concert the week before.

Of course, Hendrix had been 10 years in the ground by that time.

This is Kagen: Immature, Embarrassing, and not really very bright altogether.

What a TOOL.

Wisconsin deserves better.

And then they came for you....

A pretty stark warning for all you lefties out there who are salivating at the re-instatement of the Fairness Doctrine.

An employee of the FCC is warning that this may also be used to restrict internet content.

Check it out here.

As I predicted......

Looks like things are shaping up pretty much as I thought they would.

The more the public gets to know Barack Hussien Obama the less they actually like him.

Check out today's Rasmussen Poll Here.

For a bit of context, understand that Michael Dukakis was beating George Bush Sr. by about 16 points at this point in the 1988 election. Bush went on to win of course.

Well, maybe they LIKE him, but his major problem is that they are beginning to understand who he actually is.

This can only be bad for him.

On top of this, we now have Barry out yapping about reparations for blacks.

Check it out here.

Oh yeah. Lump sum payments to the descendants of slaves ought to go over great in Middle America.

Ya gotta wonder whether Obama is just that stupid or if it is that he is just that out of touch.

I am always reminded of the movie "The Pirates of Silicon Valley".

There is a scene where a fictional Paul Allen asks the fictional Bill Gates how IBM could make such stupid business moves, and not see the obvious downside, to which Bill Gates replies:

"They are successful, and success is a menace. It makes otherwise intelligent people believe they can never make a wrong decision".

Did Barry burn a bit too brightly too soon?

A Rare Bit Of Perspective

I was trolling through the (increasingly boring) news this morning and found this little gem in the L.A. Times.

Click here for the article.

I have been wondering for years why it is that folks tend to immediately lionize and honor the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, and Kurt Cobain.

We are always told how tragic it is that they met thier end so soon.

That word.....TRAGEDY.

How about malignant narcissism?

How about the ultimate in self-centered, selfish behavior?

A tragedy is when a 26 year old man with a baby daughter gets hit by a bus.

When a 26 year old man with 30 million dollars in the bank and ALL THE RESOURCES HE CAN POSSIBLY IMAGINE blows his brains out it is not a tragedy.

It is a childish, selfish act.

He did not care a wit for his fans, his daughter, or anyone other than himself.

A musical genuis? Possibly.

But a loser for sure.
