MONDAY MUSINGS
Posted by admin under politics
Is it Monday already? If so, it is time once again for AWMD’s Monday Musings. There are plenty of news items to choose from after the weekend. If any of my “Musings” interest you, let us know what you think. Hell, even if it doesn’t interest you, let us know! We are interested in your opinion too!
I read the news articles about Sarah from Alaska’s recent speech at the Tea Party convention and I just couldn’t believe my eyes. It seems that Sarah Palin has her own kind of teleprompter, a/k/a the palm of her hand. Yep, that’s right. The lady who loves to mock Obama for having the audacity to use a teleprompter, used the palm of her hand to write notes that she referred to during a question and answer period. http://www.oliverwillis.com/2010/02/06/sarah-palin-caught-reading-her-speech-off-her-hand/ & http://thinkprogress.org/2010/02/06/palin-hand/ & here is one more link with some great close-ups of these infamous notes, http://www.huffingtonpost.com/stefan-sirucek/did-palin-use-crib-notes_b_452458.html. Generally, I would not care if anyone was writing notes in ink on their hands, but when it comes to a former candidate for Vice President who is trying to be the next Republican to lose a Presidential campaign to a Democrat, it is quite striking to view such infantile behavior. I guess I should not be surprised that the Palin would need notes. I guess I should not be surprised that she even wrote them on her hand. After all, this is the same Vice Presidential candidate who was unprepared during the election and as the evidence is showing us, is still unprepared. What surprises me is that she is able to write! Boy, I sure hope she runs for President in 2012. It will be so much fun watching her head explode during one of the debates.
Speaking of Sarah Palin and her possible run for the Republican nomination for President in 2012, I think I may have found her running mate. Utah State Representative Mike Noel, speaking about what he calls the global warming hoax, has stated that ‘ “Now, if you can’t see a connection [of a conspiracy] to that,” the legislator said, “you’re absolutely blind to what is going on. This is absolutely — in my mind, this is in fact a conspiracy to limit population not only in this country but across the globe.” ‘ http://www.sltrib.com/News/ci_14337716 Doesn’t this Einstein sound like a perfect match for Sarah ” I can see Russia from Alaska” Palin?
I saw the sad news earlier today that Congressman John Murtha of Pennsylvania died from complications that arose after his recent gall bladder surgery. Rep. Murtha was 77 years old. Although I did not always agree with Rep. Murtha, he was a legitimate war hero and an honored ex-Marine who first was elected to Congress in 1974, shortly after returning from a tour of duty in Vietnam. Our prayers and best wishes to to his family. The Marine family has lost one of its warriors. May he rest in peace. http://www.wjactv.com/news/22500487/detail.html
Finally, it seems that John McCain’s daughter, Meghan McCain was on ABC’s “The View” and she took Republican Congressman and Tea Party promoter, Tom Tancredo, to task for what she called “innate racism”. http://rawstory.com/2010/02/meghan-mccain-tea-party-represents-innate-racism/ She blasted Tancredo for suggesting that people should be forced to pass a literacy test before being allowed to vote. ““People who would not even spell the word vote or say it in English put a committed socialist ideologue in the White House… named Barack Hussein Obama,” Tancredo told the Tea Party crowd.” “It’s innate racism, and I think it’s why young people are turned off by this movement,” McCain retorted on The View.” Now, if she could just convince her Father’s running mate, Sarah Palin, that would be news. But that might be tough to do, especially if Tancredo gets his wish because there is no way that Palin could pass any Literacy test! Unless of course she could bring in her “notes”!
What do you think? It is time for you to let us know what you think! Don’t be shy. I won’t bite! And if I do happen to bite, I don’t have enough teeth left to do too much damage! Get busy and give us your opinion!
“My Dad”, we interrupt this regularly schedule response to Monday Musing to communicate this BULLITIN:
The following Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works hearings has been postponed due to cold temperatures and two feet of snow this week:
- The Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works will hold a hearing entitled, “Global Warming Impacts, Including Public Health, in the United States.”
Once the hearing is rescheduled this spring, all will be notified.
Qman,
I am sorry to say that your “Bullitin” is all wet. I think you need to go back to one of my earlier posts where I gave you a link to the government’s report that confirmed the rest of the world’s scientists that not only is global warming real and a threat caused by human activity, but that one of the symptoms of global warming is extreme winter and summer storms. I can’t imagine where you get the idea that just because it is cold and snowy in one part of the world for a few days that it it evidence that global warming is not happening? Try listening to the scientists who are on the record and that Bush suppressed in order to make his base happy. Now, I have to get back to preparing for the Saluki game tonight.
“My Dad”, according to a consensus of scientists, they expect global warming to continue a short time after March 20th this year.
Has there been an Al Gore siting lately?
Qman,
I would enjoy a little spring weather myself, but you have to honor the Woodstock Willie’s prognostications! I think Vice President Gore is actually working to stop or prevent a global warming disaster,by harnessing the Republicans hot air which will allow Washington, D.C., to melt the snow without the CO2 from snowplows!
