I understand Illinois's governor is a HUGE fan of Elvis and likes to do his impression. I can't wait to see his rendition of "Jail House Rock."
As breathtaking as the scandal to sell Barack Obama's senate seat is...I have a very hard time finding outrage over it. Its like raising a child you refuse to potty train, their filth inevitably gets all over the place, because they don't know its gross and you never told them otherwise (try asking a grumpy Illinoisan "who pissed in your Cheerios?"....they'll probably give you an answer).
I feel like this is just the way it is in the state of Illinois, the rules don't apply there, not one. Pronounce "Illinois"...even phonics get ostracized in that state.
This begs the question:
Did Governor Rod Blagojevich (I Googled the name, I had to) really do anything bad since he lives in a state that doesn't know the difference between right and wrong?
Look, when four of the last 8 governors get busted and/or go to prison for criminal activity, isn't it possible that you don't know any better and that you merely think the office you occupy has a reputation to uphold?
I don' t really want to get long winded on this subject...everyone knows this guy belongs in the slammer, but considering Chicago is home to Oprah, the Cubs, and deep dish pizza during an obesity epidemic, its hard to make the case that "Blago" isn't entitled to an adequate defense.
People who forgo presidential debates because everything they need to learn about the man they voted for is in a one syllable bumper sticker with a Che-esque design need to realize that their dude was born and raised in that cess pool. Unfortunately they wouldn't even know what you're talking about, because the only time they tune in to the news is when Stephen Colbert is giving it.

Google Maps + microwave oven = Global Warming
Frankly, I'm willing to give Al Gore the benefit of the doubt when he says the debate is "over." If only snowflakes could talk...the ones landing in Houston as of this writing would agree him.
After all, its not like snowflakes have brains.

It was all a facade (pronounced fuh-kay-duh)
Anything, person, or issue that has a facade put up to hide what is really going on inside will almost always have that facade crumble because it is always harder to hide the truth than it is to reveal it.
Some examples that come to mind include: Leaders of Mega Churches who fall from grace like Ted Haggard, George W. Bush's compassionate conservatism, and Britney Spears's current tour...."Operation Effortless Rehabilitation." (with her its just a matter of time people...her crazy gene has the urge to splurge in public once again, I just know it)
Marriage has a facade as well, it starts with an "h"...if you're married and you think I'm talking about "happiness" then you're doing it wrong.
I'm not sure how much longer "heterosexuality" thinks it can "own" the institution, but its days are numbered.
Gay marriage is inevitable, its the direction our culture is moving toward and we have nobody to blame but ourselves. We owe them...just like we owe other disparate hyphenated American groups that continue to be marginalized by America's waning WASP culture. In return for taking their talents for granted they want to be an unconditionally accepted part of our society.
For example, we want illegal immigrants deported after they finish mowing our lawns, cleaning our toilets, and making our tacos (more than likely in that order) in hole in the wall restaurants on every other southern California street corner that doesn't make the final cut on the "reality" show The Hills. They have something to say about that and the clout to be heard, and this is the only reason that politicians think that keeping people who are de facto criminals in this country is at all debatable.
I would rather attend a week long symposium on whether the difference between Pepsi and Coke is more noticeable than the difference between Dr. Pepper and Mr. Pibb, at least then we are beginning to talk about something somewhat based in reality.
But I digress.
Gay people do our hair, decorate our homes, and make our clothes. They populate cooking shows on Bravo that educate us on how to spice up Pigs in a Blanket with a swath of cream cheese, and a dash of garlic salt mixed with vermouth......
Ok ok, I made that up, but the point remains that gay people think outside the box (if your mind lives in the gutter then congratulations, pun intended)
Moving along, because they don't typically have families gay people have way more disposable income than heterosexuals with families...making them a desirable market to corporations selling their wares.
And thanks to the slime ball men out there that didn't get the memo that the way to a woman's heart isn't through clubbing them and then dragging them to your cave, gay men have become the security blanket women have come to depend on when they just want go out and have a good time without wondering if the man they are with just wants to get into their pants, have a one night stand, hit it and quit it....
AKA: Preserving the sanctity of marriage.
Thats right, those who want to preserve the sanctity of this institution have no moral high ground to stand on when heterosexuals create drive-thru marriages in Vegas, and celebrities use it (and divorce) as attention whore tools for gossip mags, and make sex the new second base (assuming one is willing to even wait that long).
That said, until this issue is lead into battle by General Custer, I will side with what the definition of marriage has been, and should be, since the dawn of our time. Even after that has happened I will still argue for it. Just because something is inevitable doesn't mean you have to go along with it.
To a secular person changing the definition of marriage is a no-brainer, and I understand that to an extent. People who don't have a religious core are susceptible to accepting the gray areas of everything a lot more readily than those who live by actual moral guidelines.
I am not a secular person, I am a Christian, and while I answer to my friends about my vote in this life, I answer to someone else who is way more important than they are in the next.
My only other objection to gay marriage is from a governmental standpoint is the courts ruling by fiat that it should be allowed, which is what happened and got this big ball rolling in Massachusetts almost 5 years ago. I'm glad votes are being held, those in California that voted yes on prop 8 should celebrate while they can...because it will come back for a vote again, and it eventually will be overturned. I, for one, will accept its results.
I wish I could say the same for the other side, it seems the political left in this country is developing a nasty habit of throwing temper tantrums when election results don't go their way....other than continuing to convince me which side of the political spectrum the real adults are on what are they trying to accomplish with their post election bellyaching?

Real hope you can count on
This post election victory celebration of a MoveOn group shows their total inability to live up to their namesake.
Having been part of political organizing myself in conservative circles you can be sure that liberals don't have a monopoly on such idiocy. They simply don't have the energy to hold down that fort since they spend half the time monopolizing the mainstream media, while the other half is dedicated to denying it.
In politics everyone wants to be the smartest man in the room and the center of attention just has to be on them. As they say, politics is show business for ugly people. (You're trying to think of a good looking politician now...aren't you?)
Seriously, why do you think Sarah Palin was such an overnight hot commodity?
"I got a bookish look and you're all hot fo' teacher."
That's funny because its true people! But I digress....
Even in death Copernicus can't catch a break....politicians all over the world carry on like the universe revolves around THEM! This is why government, despite our best efforts, grows as if its a force or nature (or as Bill Clinton might say, like his "cigar" at the sight of Monica Lewinsky's misunderstood beauty) : a politician's need to feel consequential is a legislative beast that is never recognized, and its hunger can never be satisfied.
Which of course begs the question: Do politicians REALLY try to avoid scandal? Because writing laws ain't making it happen for them. Unless you're President the only things that get a politician a headline worth talking about are:
1. Scandals, and
2. Nothing else.
Thats the problem with politics...its really just one big open mic night for attention whores, and the video above is exhibits A-Z.
Once in a RARE while we get someone who rises through the ranks who is indeed fighting for something bigger than themself...the kind of person who, risks being hung for treason against the crown by taking on the most powerful empire in the world (or as MoveOn would put it: "some rich guys who didn't want to pay taxes), the kind of person who knows that a house divided cannot stand and gives his life to the cause of preventing its collapse, the kind of person who knows that their highly paid advisors are wrong when they tell them not to admonish the world to "tear down this wall."
The don't come often enough, but thank God they come at all.
The video above is a testament to the fact that it wasn't superior organization, or even better ideas (or any ideas) that got President-elect Obama elected, it was the incompetence of the Republican Party the moment George "W"ubber Stamp Bush became president....it has to be that, I refuse to believe that conservatism has become so unintelligible that it lost to the people in the video because they were smarter.

Post Post POST Election Coverage
Its been more than a couple of weeks now...so hopefully some of the "shock" that McCain can add the number 44 next to 43 on his personal "Numbers that aren't lucky for me" list has worn off.
Another good thing out of this election is I have a new favorite knock knock joke:
Knock knock
Who's there?
Guess....
Guess who?
Guess who never deserved to be president in the first place?
Come to think of it...that joke works no matter who won.
I did not vote for McCain...despite my previous proclamation that I would. After the debates, and especially after he wanted to buy up all the bad mortgages in the country (leaving me to wonder why I still lived in an apartment) I decided this man should not be the face of my preferred political philosophy. Its bad enough that "stupid, with a daddy complex" ruled the day for 8 years....it doesn't need to be amplified by 4+ years of "crazy grizzled".
I have to make it clear that I did not vote for Obama either...because Russian Roulette with 5 bullets is more fun than doing that.
I did a write in-vote, and somewhere in our great country there are several men or billions of liquid molecules who owe me a debt of gratitude for casting my vote for them.....Jack Daniels.
I'm not gong to play the boo hoo games that the left plays when they don't get their way in an election (I'm sure California Prop 8 protesters have no idea what I'm talking about)...Barack Obama will be my president, I might not like his policies, but I accept him. (and by might not I mean "most definitely will not...but I hope I'm wrong")
So the Republican Party needs get their act together. I know its hard to tell whether that stinky smell they've been ignoring is either its national leadership or the result of its head being up its ass since 2000, but they need to figure something out now, because I speak for the entire party, especially when their candidate for president in 2008 allowed Indiana to go blue and creating a celebrity sighting at Saks when Satan was purchasing a parka, when I say:
I vote for "A Choice Not an Echo."
Its ironic that the publication by the great Phyllis Schlafly that got McCain's direct Senate predecessor, Barry Goldwater, the nomination for president in 1964, is the same sentiment that cost him the presidency in 2008.
The Republican establishment needs to figure out that there is a place in the party for more liberal minded members....its a broom closet in the RNC basement with a sign over the door that reads:
Democrats in Denial

Of course they screwed up the economy, they can't keep their own house in order
The Republican Party knew for 8 years that they were going to have a formidable juggernaut personality to run against in 2008 in the form of Hillary Clinton. The name alone was going to make for one the toughest fights they've had in a generation.
That's not even factoring in having to put up with her laugh. I'm convinced the economy would be much more stable right now if she were the nominee as ear plug futures would've offset the current crash we are experiencing.
Over the last 8 years the frothing at the mouth to have Hillary elected was so bad Old Yeller was debating whether WE should be put down....and this was a woman whose likability ranged somewhere between cold (or warm....or hot) Starbucks coffee and salt-drowned, open-faced, cold sore blisters (or was it the other way around?).
Then, along came Barack Obama. For 4 years he has proven he has every credential Hillary has, except for the un-likability merit badge. He spoke, people were mesmerized, and nobody ever knew why.
And by nobody ever knew why, I mean, nobody KNOWS why.
To be fair, I know why now.
The Republican Party, for the first time since Ronald Reagan was on the political scene, took decisive actions to stave of the election of leftism in the Democratic Party threatening to take over this country:
1. They ballooned the size of government faster than Lyndon Johnson
2. While I am not against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, they allowed problems to mount just long enough for it to cost them congress for the next forseeable generation, and start the first credit crunch of our current crisis for the Republican Party on the issue of national security.
3. Screwing up the PR for the war on terrorism not being enough, the Republicans instituted Operation Junk Bond Credibility Status by fighting tooth and nail to give amnesty to illegal immigrants, which caused them to default on their National Securities loans because they were dead set on making sure that the country they sent our troops to fight for would not be the same country they would come home to.
Then Sarah Palin said, "oh yeah, THAT Bush Doctrine."
Tangent:
Incidentally illegal immigration has dropped tremendously thanks to our current economic crisis. It turns out the second October surprise (for the first one see the blog posted on October 1st) is that government's actual plan to curb illegal immigration was bankrupting the country, because enforcement of immigration law was just too expensive.
End Tangent
George W. Bush threw the conservative scarf around his neck 4 years ago and rubes like me cheered him on when he was actually liberal in just about everything but foreign policy and the proper pronunciation of "nuclear." In the hopes that they would steal Democratic voters the Republican Party became Democrat Lite.
The only thing they were actually light on was intelligence. If you give a liberal the choice of a liberal or a semi-liberal they will pick the liberal.....EVERY TIME.
Meanwhile they forget that Ronald Reagan won when he was unapologetic in espousing conservative virtues...he won.....EVERY TIME.
Because Bush is a Republican, we have people who got rich off of red-blooded conservatism like Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh, who STILL cheer for him and McCain.....and now we have for the first time someone who is beyond liberal in Barack Obama who looks like a viable alternative to a conservative brand that is a shadow of what Ronald Reagan left behind.
Barack Obama is a socialist in the best light, and in all likelihood a flat out leftist, and George W. Bush, coupled with Republicans who thought McCain was more "electable" in the primaries are now serving this man up as our next president.
I can't totally blame guys like Rush...its hard to remember where you came from, or where you're going, when you're constantly "amid billowing clouds of fragrant and aromatic first, second, and sometimes third hand premium cigar smoke."
And its hard for Hannity to hear what real conservative politicians are saying over shouts of who the greater American is competing with the sizzle of a $200 Ruths Cris steak dinner.
Oh yeah, and they're all FAT GREEDY JERKS........but I'm not mad.

De bate was taken for 8 years...and counting
Lately there are things in life that disappoint me supremely:
1. Corporate greed (note, NOT free market capitalism)
2. Republicanism (note, NOT conservatism)
3. My continued insistence to hold out on my stock in Enron (Hello? Can somebody say collectors item?)
4. Leftist prevailing in the court of public opinion because Republicanism has been running around in conservatism's clothing for the last 8 years.
and finally...
5. Banana flavored anything (I swear my stock in Enron is more valuable than a banana Now and Later, which gets its name because I'll throw it in the trash can NOW, and LATER on I can take it out and eat it after the garbage masks its disgusting taste.)
Paradoxically, the one thing that does not disappoint me at all is how much I misoverestimated John McCain's ability to debate the issues. The first debate was supposed to belong to him because it was on foreign policy, this last one was supposed to go to him because it plays to his strength in speaking at a town hall setting.
Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice McShame on me.
Or to quote a Republican who is only conservative in conserving conservatism...uh, uh.....uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.............ya ain't never gonna fool me agin'. he he he
Listening to McCain you would think that George W. Bush is Barack Obama behind a teleprompter.
Last Tuesday's debate revealed one of three things...either it showed that:
1. McCain is totally ignorant on economic issues
2. He is indeed to old and tired to be president
3. His speech and debate coach is Dora the Explorer.
I'll give credit where credit is due, if foreign policy were the absolute only thing a president deals with then we wouldn't even need to hold an election, but John McCain's understanding of what is going on with the economy right now shows not that he is ignorant of the issue...but that he is totally uncoachable in articulating it.....thus he is incapable of actually understanding it.
He narrowed it down to "stabilizing house prices." Therefore we have to buy up ALL the bad mortgages in America and "renegotiate" them. How on God's greenish brown (and decreasingly snowcapped) Earth does THAT address the fiscal AND economic crisis we face?
At this point I'm sure people are wondering why I bill myself as a conservative and yet all this blog has done is bash a sitting Republican president, and the current Republican nominee for president.
I do it precisely for what they actually are in the conservative movement...Republicant's.
I am NOT a good little solider like Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh....singing the praises of a man whose politics I have publicly detested since ALWAYS solely because he doesn't carry a "D" at the end of Democratic Party Press Releases....aka the Associated Press reports....does NOTHING to advance the cause of conservatism.
I don't know what's harder to swallow:
1. That one letter is going to separate the name of our next president and our country's mortal enemy. (and that ZERO letter separate his middle name with that of its OTHER mortal enemy)
2. That the obviously superior philosophy of conservatism has utterly failed to come across as such for the last 8 years.
3. A banana flavored Now and Later
Hint: This won't at all give it away but.....One of these I'm being deathly serious about, and it comes in yellow wrapping....and its a RINO (ReallyGrossCandyAssBananaRepublicans In Name Only).
1. Corporate greed (note, NOT free market capitalism)
2. Republicanism (note, NOT conservatism)
3. My continued insistence to hold out on my stock in Enron (Hello? Can somebody say collectors item?)

He narrowed it down to "stabilizing house prices." Therefore we have to buy up ALL the bad mortgages in America and "renegotiate" them. How on God's greenish brown (and decreasingly snowcapped) Earth does THAT address the fiscal AND economic crisis we face?
At this point I'm sure people are wondering why I bill myself as a conservative and yet all this blog has done is bash a sitting Republican president, and the current Republican nominee for president.
I do it precisely for what they actually are in the conservative movement...Republicant's.
I am NOT a good little solider like Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh....singing the praises of a man whose politics I have publicly detested since ALWAYS solely because he doesn't carry a "D" at the end of Democratic Party Press Releases....aka the Associated Press reports....does NOTHING to advance the cause of conservatism.
I don't know what's harder to swallow:
1. That one letter is going to separate the name of our next president and our country's mortal enemy. (and that ZERO letter separate his middle name with that of its OTHER mortal enemy)
2. That the obviously superior philosophy of conservatism has utterly failed to come across as such for the last 8 years.

Hint: This won't at all give it away but.....One of these I'm being deathly serious about, and it comes in yellow wrapping....and its a RINO (ReallyGrossCandyAssBananaRepublicans In Name Only).
