Go Mo!

Well Missouri has passed Proposition C overwhelmingly with over 70% of the vote. The MSM is already trying to poo poo it due to the Supremacy Clause and by claiming much of the support came from voters opting for Republican ballots. (MO has open primaries, allowing voters to choose their party regardless of registration.)

This is yet another harbinger for Democrats and their supporters that their control of the House, and hopefully the Senate as well, will likely slip through their tax-and-spending mitts in 90 short days.

REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER!

Back

After an over six-week sabbatical, I've decided to broaden the horizons of this humble blog to include other items of interest and other goings-on in my personal life (without getting too personal, of course.) Politics and conservative/libertarian thought will still be a focus, but a lot of other things will, hopefully, pop up here in the near future. Entertainment topics, sports, comic books (yes, I like those things) and music will all be featured here from time to time.

And with only 90 short days to go until the most important election in 30 years, I don't think there's a better time to give this (yes, I know) a third serious-go.

Laurie David has really low standards...

...and I think Larry would agree with me.

Of course, Laurie is denying it.

Marrying Larry David is one thing; at least he's funny.

Obama is a lame duck...thank you MSNBC for making it official.

To the everyone who did NOT vote for President Obama: your lame duck dinner is done.

The Oil Spill - What no one is saying...

It's interesting that many on the Left want to use the Gulf oil spill as a justification to ban all off-shore drilling. Not surprisingly, Charles Krauthammer sets them straight.

However, while this is a good argument for shallow-water drilling as well as drilling off the Alaska coast, I find it neglects land-based sources of energy. These sources including oil from oil sands, natural gas and coal (taking into account the recent Massey mine tragedy of course) would generally be safer for workers and problems that do occur could be much more easily confined rather than sloshing up and down coastlines. (In econ speak, we could reduce the externalities.)

If the Obama administration was serious about increasing energy production at home, they would use this disaster as justification for increased energy exploration on-shore. Instead we get the same old bromides about cap-and-trade and carbon emissions about an "danger" that fewer and fewer people believe exist. Thanks, President Obama for always having your priorities straight.

Critz wins. But wait, there's hope...

Well Mark Critz won this round. One encouraging sign is that Republican turnout has room to grow in November. The Democrats had the more interesting statewide primary races for the U.S. Senate and Governor. That will NOT be a factor in November.

As for the other races, I'm pleased by the results. While Spector would have been an easier target in the General; I take some satisfaction that he has lost in the Primary to, what appears to be, a decent human being.

Who did the other 2% vote for?

Early results (on Hannity of all places) show Critz with a 58-40 lead with 20% of precincts reporting.

Who did the other 2% vote for? If it's Russell and the difference results in a Critz win it will be a shame.
