Tony is Singing

This American election is getting more interesting than a 30 minute infomercial.

In the news:

Federal prosecutors asked a judge Monday to indefinitely postpone Tony Rezko’s scheduled Oct. 28 sentencing on corruption charges, acknowledging they are engaged in talks with the former top political fund-raiser for Sen. Barack Obama, Gov. Blagojevich and others “that could affect . . . sentencing.”

Puzzling how an Alaska Senator gets sentenced the week before the election and one of Obama’s insiders gets delayed.

Seems Tony is cooperating with prosecutors and may implicate some important figures. One of them appears to be the Democratic Messiah, Barack Obama who may be going down with Rezko. Sounding like Whitewater all over.

Even Hillary blogs are predicting doom for Barack… it reads like a Sopranos episode.

Who knows. Strange things happen in October.

So What is The Difference?

It started with an effigy of Sarah Palin hanging from a noose in Hollywood – the press chuckled and asserted “freedom of speech”.

“The sheriff made this clear: This is a country that has freedom of speech and we protect that right even when we think it’s idiotic and stupid and in bad taste and wrong to do,” said Steve Whitmore, a spokesman for Los Angeles County Sheriff.

Now that the same is being done with Obama, a surprising different reaction.

Obama effigy found on U. of Kentucky campus

“College spokesman Carl Nathe said the effigy was found Wednesday morning. Police immediately took it down. A faculty member said he saw the effigy with a noose around its neck, hanging from a high tree branch.”

Officers with both the University Police Department and the Lexington Police Department are investigating the incident, and the Secret Service has been notified, Todd said. Todd said it is not known whether a student or someone else was responsible.

“It’s a very embarrassing situation that has happened on our campus, regardless of who did it,” he said. Todd referred to the incident as a “despicable act.”

“We certainly believe in political expression, just not in this form,” he said.

Surprised?

Almost Time To Let The Kids Plug It In

After a couple of years of my boys pestering me to allow them to plug their Xbox 360 into my LCD in the family room, I am now reconsidering.

Netflix streaming is going to be included in Microsoft’s “New Xbox Experience,” on November 19. In addition to over 12,000 titles available for quality streaming, Netflix will stream 300 titles in HD.

No more waiting on the mail with my Netflix subscription. True movies on demand.

So maybe I can put up with a little FarCry every once in a while to get access to this great service.

Biden – Whoa, Not True, Absolutley Not, Pure Hokem, Malarky

Next Time stick to the Phillies… you’ll get answers.

If You have To Ask…

Did a Halloween display go to far?

“The image of a hanged black man is much more intense than of a white woman”… in the words of the West Hollywood homeowners. At least they acknowledge the difference.

Reagan Warning Us Of The Obama Plan

Reagan could have made this speech today. It was a warning of what lies ahead.

Then we have Obama on using government and the courts to redistribute wealth.

Obama today…

Hopefully, America will realize what the man is promising, in time.

Canada Post Needs To Do This

Here’s a service that makes receiving postal mail as easy and convenient as email.

You set up a post office box on the service (or use one of their physical addresses if you get packages), and they receive and scan all your mail. You get an email alert that shows you a list of the day’s mail, and you’re able to request that your mail items be opened and scanned, recycled, shredded, or archived directly from the message. It’s genius. No more stopping by that Super Mailbox every day.

I use it for my US mail, and it costs me $20 month.

This type of service could actually re-invent Canada Post – if the unions could get their heads into the 90′s and allow it. The environmental savings alone could save them millions.

Or, maybe they’ll open up shop in Canada before Canada Post gets their act together.

Maybe Not So Far Fetched

Here 3 reasons why I still believe that a McCain win isn’t as far fetched as you may believe…

1.) The polls are skewed left intentionally and will cause a large number of Democrat voters to skip the vote. More important things to do than vote for Mr. O as he’s already won.  The media has never in history campaigned this blatantly for a candidate. There will be a price to pay.

2) Voter reality – we are only hearing from the vocal minority of Republicans and Democrats. Why do you think Obama had the World Series delayed for a 30 minute commercial?

Newsweek has an interesting take on this:

… Three fifths of the electorate that shows up once every four years to vote for president but mostly hates politics. These are the 75 million folks who didn’t vote in the primaries. They don’t read newsmagazines or newspapers, don’t watch any cable news and don’t cast their ballots early. Their allegiance to a candidate is as easily shed as a T shirt. Several million moved to Obama through September and October; they’d heard he handled himself well in the debates. Then, in the last week, the LIVs swung back to the default choice: John McCain. Some had good reasons other than the color of Obama’s skin to desert him; many more did not. In October, a study by the Associated Press estimated that Obama’s race would cost him 6 percent. The percentage was smaller, but still enough to give the presidency to McCain.

3.) Today’s attack into Syria may lead to events that will bring up national security as an issue again. Obama will drop significantly if this issue were to become one of top three before the election. Biden’s prediction may come true in the next week.

Fingers crossed…

SNL Suddenly Gets Standards

The Sandlers complain to NBC and gets a Saturday Night Live sketch changed – these are the people behind the demise of Wachovia Bank.

I’d really like to see any other case where they have done this.

Tough to win an election when the Big three networks all conspire against you… by burying anything that might compromise the Democrats.
