Earlier Gene posted a column that turned out to be fake.  He deleted it.  However the words themselves aren’t bad.

Therefore I’m posting it as an anonymous piece.  (I still had a window open with the original post.)

Senator John McCain could never convince me to vote for him. Only Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama can cause me to vote for McCain.

After long and serious thought, I have decided to endorse Senator John McCain for President.

I have always voted for the person and have not voted for anyone because some political party was telling me who I should vote for.

We all know the choices by now and, that said, I do believe that the process of selecting a chief executive is deeply flawed. The words ‘money’ and ‘special interests’ come to mind, among many others.

Here’s the way I see it:

Barack Obama, you are a fine public speaker. You are also an extremely liberal Senator from the State of Illinois, which has a long and rich history of political corruption of the first magnitude. You are indeed a child of that system.

You have finally insulted my intelligence far beyond my capacity to tolerate your insults. It has nothing at all to do with your skin color. As a matter of fact, it would be so COOL to finally have an African-American for President. What a great statement that would be to the entire world that we are indeed the greatest country on earth!

But, unfortunately, General Colin Powell is not running, and YOU are NOT the man for this job !

Barack baby, you want me to believe that you have never heard the sermons of your own pastor, the Right Reverend ‘God Damn America’ Jeremiah Wright. It is a matter of record that this has been your church for over 20 years. It is a matter of record that you were married there by this very pastor, and that your children were baptized there.

The good Reverend saw fit to visit Khadafy in Libya with you and to give a lifetime achievement award to Louis Farrakhan, of all people.

We have all now seen excerpts of his sermons all over the airwaves by now. And you have publicly stated that this man IS your ‘spiritual mentor.’

BUT, your pastor is NOT the reason I am NOT voting for you. His words were disturbing enough, but it is your own HUGE church congregation, seen jumping, hooting and howling to his words in the background that disturb me the most. And please don’t tell me you attended church there and never once heard a ‘discouraging word’ in the 20 years you attended there. Don’t tell me, that in addition to the good reverend, that you are now not having anything to do with all those other people seen hooting and howling out in the audience in the background of his fiery tirades. Even Oprah Winfrey got disgusted and walked out on your campaign. I am no Oprah fan, but still she did the right thing.

Now you look me in the eye and ask me to believe that you never heard such language in all the years you attended there! This is like me telling you that I attended dozens of Klan rallies and never once heard the ‘N’ word. Yep. And Bill Clinton ‘did not inhale’.

Yes, Mr. Obama, we all have friends who have said stupid things that embarrassed us, but NOW you have asked me to believe something that is so incredibly stupid that you are telling me that I am just stupid enough to believe you. THAT is the main reason that I will never vote for you.

I am deeply sorry, that in a country teeming with enormously talented African Americans who would make a good President, that the political system has chosen YOU. You are a pathetic and plastic excuse for an American, who will not even salute the Flag during the Pledge of Allegiance. God forbid you ever get near the Oval Office.

Which leaves us with Senator John McCain.

John, you are a flawed man. You are a bit old, a bit looney, and you have a notoriously bad temper. This perfectly qualifies you, in my humble opinion, to lead us for the next eight years. I WANT your trembling hand on the nuclear button.

Think about it.

We have Kim Jong IL, Chavez and Ahmadenijad all running around like lunatics, threatening America and threatening to plunge the world into nuclear Armageddon. We have Putin and the Chinese blustering and rattling their sabers at us. I want John McCain in the Oval Office and I want him to be really ticked off at all these other nut jobs around the planet.

John, once you are elected, I want you to go into the Oval Office and throw one of your perfect FITS. Jump up and down and throw something through a plate glass window. Rip the drapes down and foam at the mouth a bit. And I want the whole thing on camera so that Ahmadinejad can see it. I want ALL of these ‘world leaders’ to lay awake at night and to break out in a cold sweat every time they think of messing with the United States of America.

I want the nuclear button sitting right next to the alarm clock on your night stand. I want pictures of this to be sent to Iran, Russia, China, Venezuela, Cuba, Libya, Syria, Pakistan, and those other dopes in the sheets, the Saudis.

On the domestic front, poor John did try and reach across the aisle to the opposition in a desperate effort to compromise and to get the Congress to do something. You may not agree with his efforts, but at least he TRIED. For all his efforts, all he got handed to him was his head in a basket. The liberals are ticked at him and the conservatives are ticked at him. Just my kinda guy.

I predict that John will select Senator Joe Lieberman as his running mate. Good choice. I want a Jew whose memory of the Holocaust is still fresh in his mind and who is royally ticked off at all of these towel-headed morons in the Middle East to be the next in line if something should happen to John. Shalom, Vice President Joe. One heartbeat from the Oval Office.

Finally. John McCain knows on a most personal level what it is to suffer horrible torture for years and to see others die, right in front of you, for their love of America. When you ask him about it, he will tell you that what he did was ‘nothing special. ‘ Even more incredibly, he states that ANY American who truly loves his country would do exactly the same as he did in that situation. You and I will have a hard time believing that, but the real point is that John McCain believes that about the ‘average American,’ and that, dear friends and neighbors, is why I will cast my one poor ballot for on election day for John McCain—warts and all.’

Who knew that Rob spent his days programming toys for Mattel?

It’s supposed to say sweet things to little girls like, “You’re a wonderful friend,” but push its button the wrong way and the Little Mermaid Shimmering Lights Ariel doll may say something else — “You’re a slut,” according to a California mother whose allegation came to light in a newspaper report.

Stephanie Oppenheim, who publishes the independent toy guide Oppenheim Toy Portfolio, told the Mercury News that she put Arial to the test. After pushing the buttons on another Shimmering Lights Ariel doll, she said she heard the naughty word but had to listen really closely to get an earful.

Ok 99% of mothers would tell their 3 year old that Ariel said “you’re sweet.”  I think it takes a dirty mind to hear this.

How many of these apply to you?  I was seriously in the low 20’s.

If “vacation” to you means going shopping for the weekend in Grand Forks, Fargo, Minot or Bismarck (while the kids swim at the Comfort Inn), You might live in North Dakota.
If parking your car for the night involves an extension cord, You might live in North Dakota.
If you consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through 8 inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food will swim by, You might live in North Dakota.
If you’re proud that your state makes the national news primarily because it houses the coldest spot in the nation, You might live in North Dakota.
If you have ever refused to buy something because it’s “too spendy”, You might live in North Dakota
If your local Dairy Queen is closed from November through March, You might live in North Dakota.
If someone in a store offers you assistance, and they don’t work there, You might live in North Dakota.

Hmmm.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney)—Wal-Mart has told its employees that it’s OK to once again greet shoppers by saying “Merry Christmas” this holiday season instead of the generic “Happy Holidays.”

CNN confirmed that Wal-Mart will announce Thursday that it plans to use the phrase “Merry Christmas” in products and around its stores this holiday season.

If you’ve followed my comments you’ll know that I support Walmart when it’s attacked by the unions.

However they shouldn’t weighing the economic aspects of saying or not saying “Merry Christmas.”  If you have some core principles you don’t have to flounder.

A little election time humor.  We need it.

Democrat Senator Chris Dodd was on the phone with Don Imus this morning (apparently).  Imus asked if he should read what Senate Candidate Jim Webb wrote.

Dodd sure as heck didn’t want the public to hear them read outloud.  Why is that?

Who ya gonna call: Newsbusters!

When NBC military affairs correspondent Jim Miklaszewski posed an ill-founded question to Donald Rumsfeld at a Pentagon press briefing today, the Secretary of Defense responded in, shall we say, animated fashion, leaving very little doubt as to where he stood on the matter.

The Mik apparently asserted that every time a security benchmark has been laid down, the Iraqis have failed to meet it.

On Friday’s ‘Today, ’ Mik was accorded considerable time to air his version of events. But while the NBC correspondent accused the Bush administration of being “hypersensitive” over the benchmark issue, at the end of his report Mik was constrained to acknowledge that “strictly by the numbers, Rumsfeld is correct.”

I love how Rumsfeld doesn’t mince words when he does a news conference.  Whether you think he’s right or wrong, you’ve got to give him credit for speaking his mind.

Drudge Flash Report:

Webb’s novels disturbingly and consistently – indeed, almost uniformly – portray women as servile, subordinate, inept, incompetent, promiscuous, perverted, or some combination of these. In novel after novel, Webb assigns his female characters base, negative characteristics. In thousands of pages of fiction penned by Webb, there are few if any strong, admirable women or positive female role models.

Why does Jim Webb refuse to portray women in a respectful, positive light, whether in his non-fiction concerning their role in the military, or in his provocative novels? How can women trust him to represent their views in the Senate when chauvinistic attitudes and sexually exploitive references run throughout his fiction and non-fiction writings?

· Most Virginians and Americans would find passages such as those below shocking, especially coming from the pen of someone who seeks the privilege of serving in the United States Senate, one of the highest offices in the land:

I’m not putting this stuff that the Democrat Candidate for Senator from Virginia wrote on the front page.  Frankly writing about child molestation is sick.  I’ll excerpt a couple items on the extended entry.

What I find surprising is that the media hasn’t come out on this stuff before now.  I guess writing stories about some obscure African slur is more important.

There are two pictures almost identical to each other, you have to find three differences. If you can find three differences, then you are part of an elite group of individuals. This has been tested on 8000 people, and only 19 people out of 8000 found the three differences.

Liberalism at work.

OKLAHOMA CITY—A state Department of Human Services worker says he was punished for trying to report illegal immigrants who were applying for state benefits.
Steve Thomas told the House Revenue and Taxation Committee he tried to follow a rule requiring memos be written to DHS superiors when they come across an applicant who’s an illegal immigrant.

Thomas says he was taken before DHS’ civil rights office and accused of threatening illegal immigrants.

It should be required that anytime a government employee has reason to believe that he is dealing with an illegal alien (or other lawbreaker) that they report that to the authorities.
