Quick Thinking

A quick thinking (and quick moving) young man saved lives:

When Ramos Mitchell saw the empty driver’s seat and felt his school bus barreling off the highway toward a pole, two thoughts pervaded his mind: I don’t want to die. And, I want to graduate.

Seated two rows behind and with his back to the driver, who apparently had fainted, the West St. John High School senior said he turned around when he heard his schoolmates hollering.

Seeing no one in the driver’s seat, the former star hurdler sprinted to the front of the bus.

It’s a nice story, and a nice break from the political news.  :-)

Liberal reviewer “tortured” by An American Carol - so go watch it!

This quote from a NY Times review of An American Carol said it all, albeit sarcastically:

“An American Carol” wasn’t screened in advance for critics, but why would it be? After all, what good is the traitorous opinion of the cheese-eating news-media elite when it comes to a satire of the radical left?

Exactly. And I’m not being sarcastic. [Read more...]

I’m surprised: the Palins don’t tithe.

After all the fuss made about Palin’s faith, I was surprised to see that her family doesn’t tithe:

Sarah and Todd Palin had a gross income of nearly $170,000 last year and paid nearly $25,000 in taxes.

… The couple donated more than $8,000 to charity over two years.

They still give considerably more than the Bidens, but that’s nothing to brag about.

It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.

So, the world financial system is collapsing (or not) and we’ll have the depression (or not). Is it all an October surprise on the part of the Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) because they must and WILL have Obama as President? Or a serious crisis that must be addressed immediately?  I don’t want to go through a Depression.  But even if we do, we will still be light years ahead of most of the rest of the world in terms of wealth and lifestyle.  Our poor are incredibly wealthy compared to how most of the rest of the world lives.  So if we have another Depression, so be it.  It really won’t be the end of the world; life will go on just as it always has during times of poverty, disease, and war.  People have suffered far more than we will if “the worst” happens.

Politics, News & the RoP™

YES!

It’s about time: McCain blasts Obama, Democrats for Fannie Mae meltdown.

Earlier today, I wrote, “GOP, you don’t need my money. You need a backbone.”

Yesterday, I wrote, “McCain doesn’t deserve to win because he refuses to fight for it.”

And a couple of days before that I wrote, “Mr. Straight Talk has utterly failed to tell the truth about what’s going on, because to do so would require him to buck his “friends” in the media and in Congress and really be the maverick he has played at being all these years. His failure is profound, in this moment that even he agrees is a critical moment in our history - in a wartime election where the outcome literally means the difference between winning and losing not just an election but a generational war. I mean it when I say he deserves to lose.”

I might be willing to reconsider those posts.

We’ll see how it goes at the debate, but things are definitely looking up.

Added: And why hasn’t McCain gotten teh Fred! out there on the campaign trail for him?  Remember, “Mental institution, Michael. Might be something you ought to think about.” ? We could use some of that between now and November 4th.

McCain Deserves To Lose, Pt. 2

I meant it last week, and I mean it today. McCain doesn’t deserve to win because he refuses to fight for it.

Meanwhile, back in the real world, McCain continues to forbid his campaign from going after Obama for his longtime friendship and ideological partnership with Rev. Jeremiah Wright — and refuses to attack Obama on the Fannie/Freddie/CRA debacles because he fears being perceived as a racist.

Just like Congress’ shrieking about the financial “crisis” was disavowed by their political games and pork, McCain’s rhetoric on just how bad he believes an Obama presidency would be for the country is disavowed by his lack of action now.  [Read more...]

Another community tries to prevent sagging:

City authorities in Riviera Beach, Fla., passed an ordinance earlier this year declaring it “unlawful for any person to appear in public or in view of the public wearing pants below the waist which expose the skin or undergarments.”

That’s been tried in Louisiana too - and naturally the ACLU is trying to prevent such efforts.  Flint, Michigan’s law led to this amusing graphic:

Shocka: guy buys his wife flowers for their anniversary

Why is this news? When The One does it, evidently buying flowers for a wedding anniversary is a touching, thoughtful, and remarkable event. Could the media be any more in the tank than they are with this headline?
Barack Obama gets break on anniversary flowers for Michelle

The article explains in loving detail how Obama selected the flowers (white roses) and worried about how they’d hold up on the flight home.

Pathetic.
