I guess it’s great that somebody cares about local elections…even if it’s the special interests funneling their money through a Republican front organization from Montana.

And just for Ralphie here’s pure bubblegum pop.
I gave you the go-ahead two weeks ago.
After the Japanese stuff, I’m ready for some bubblegum.
Not exactly politically correct, but this is the soundtrack I wish I could listen to all the time:
So if we combine your video with Dave’s we’ll have an awesome car with cute Russian bubble gum pop stars!
That would be worthy.
Who played Major T. J. “King” Kong in Dr. Strangelove:
So being out of it over the last 2 weeks I have a couple of comments saved up.
1. Nobel Prize for “not being George Bush???” Should have gone to the people of Iran – they earned it.
2. What’s key is not who’s first in fundraising but rather: a) how close they are, and b) do they have enough to be competitive.
3. Pols is as fair and balanced as Fox. It was interesting reading here occasionally and not commenting. The posts by Pols aren’t even close to balanced.
4. Our elected Republicans are upset that Ritter has hired some people during the recession. So apparently they want to see more people unemployed. What a bunch of heartless dicks.
5. We’re all bi-racial (even lily white people like me). ¼ of the people living today in areas conquered in the past by Genghis Khan are related to him – and he’s one person.
6. We dems need to stand up and fight for government & the taxes to adequately fund it. The biggest political shift of the last 20 years is that people wanting to fund government propose that defensively.
I gat a call last night asking for a donation – from the NRCC.
would make an excellent Congressman. This isn’t said often enough, or forcefully enough, and that is to the shame of all people who care about good governance.
I’m not talking about the horse he’s on or how good a jockey he is; I’m talking about the breadth and depth of knowledge the man has, the analytical acumen he possesses, and, perhaps most of all, the unbelievable acceleration of his learning curve!
I was impressed with him when I first interviewed him last Spring, but what now blows me away is how much more impressive he has become. This isn’t empty shilling: This is a sincere statement of what I’ve observed, and what I believe.
If his weakness is lackluster fundraising, then it is incumbent on all of us who care about who we put in office to address that weakness with open wallets. As I’ve said before, the measure of the quality of a candidate should not be the measure of how good s/he is at being a candidate, but how good s/he would be in the office for which s/he is a candidate. And by that latter measure, John is simply outstanding.
We make candidates and we break candidates by giving or withholding our support. The algorithm by which we make that decision should be weighted heavily in favor of the qualities of the candidate to govern wisely, and weighted far less than is currently the custom by how much money he has already raised.
I encourage people to come to John’s events, listen to him speak, get to know him, and make an informed decision on the basis of substantial information as to where you stand regarding his candidacy.
It’s time for people engaged in the political process to stop spectating, and start participating: John deserves our enthusiastic support.
Ok, so I went to the Tesla dealer ready to buy a new car. And… Didn’t get it.
First I was thinking how with no back seat I can’t ever drive the kids. That with the trunk size I can’t do the weekly grocery shopping. And how it does not look like it will do well in the snow.
When I was 25 I would have killed to have a car like that. And none of the above would have entered my mind. I’m old.
Dealership had about 4 different prospects in there. They were all guys about my age. The Tesla may be the high end Porsche Boxster – the car that screams mid-life crisis.
you just get yourself a 25-year-old girl and call it good.
and with the $38k tax credit, you could get a Subaru with money to spare 😉
You’re right. It’s a 38.6% credit on a car that costs $110k, give or take!
Here’s a less expensive (after rebate) and more practical electric car for David, befitting his executive position:
Fisker Karma
For some reason she said no 🙂
True story – when I went to work in Taiwan (sent over by Microsoft) they told me they would set me up with a Chinese girlfriend as that was the only way to learn Chinese. I replied that I had a wife. And they said – no, not wife – girlfriend.
They found it strange when I declined the offer.
for those that are interested – Two weeks of insanity
…and brilliant. SO glad I found it. My dad used to play his LP’s after we kids had gone to bed and he just cackled.
Hope you love it as much as I. I’m done now. Just thought you all would love these.
I’ve got a couple of Tom Lehrer LPs plus a Tom Lehrer song book. No one like him.
I’m sure it won’t be long before this hits the press.
The only thing newsworthy about this is the hysterical over-reaction from whoever sent the first message.
So Britt misunderstood the forum was only for members of some snooty club? That’s a reason for Penry to withdraw? “Marc Sabin” needs to get a life and get a grip.
So Penry didn’t show up with the Republican women?
Or he did show up, and it was a little weird? They let him show up, then said it was awkward, and broke it off halfway through the first date?
I went out on a date like that once. Met a woman in Minneapolis, and she took me to a botanical garden with a miniature hedge maze. I said something about a Minotaur, and she dumped right there because she didn’t know what the word meant. “Yeah, your vocabulary is kind of annoying, let’s just be friends.” The second half of that date was one of the most difficult hours of my life.
In any case, enough about me, what the hell is this story supposed to be all about?
