This blog has been woefully neglected, mainly because I’ve been in the early stages on my Trinity class. Here’s the blog for that. Visitors are welcome.
Here’s today’s column. I may have more to say about that as events unfold.
Here’s a recent Bicycling column.
Here’s Friday’s show.
Here’s Wednesday’s show.
Here’s a new series I’m launching at Watkinson.
Here’s a very cool event which (with Wolfie) I am appearing in and writing a little bit of.
Whoops! What about this one?
I’m just trying to convince you I’m busy, not lazy.

Murphy’s biggest problems: Murph doesn’t write or sponsor legislation that gets passed and Murph isn’t a bread winner for the 5th.
Would Mcmahon put up a bigger fight for the 5th and grab some Federal Dollars? Would she bully up to grab some Dollars for CT?
CT is still first in the nation as an exporter of tax dollars per capita to Washington. We run the top trade deficit too. If it wasn’t for military contracts and Medicaid we’d be a full-fledged mercantile colony of the Empire. Financially bled for the powers that be.
Now we have the public sector unions fighting the receipt of Federal Dollars (The almost $300 million in Race to the Top education funding that we sent to Tennesee instead of here. No concessions the unions cried!).
Is Murph an answer? History says no. That’s McMahon’s biggest bargaining chip. Show me the money Chris.
Republican means you don’t get the Medicare you’ve been paying for all these years. It means pre-existing conditions are back on the list of Gigantic Worries, and your 24-year-old can be kicked off your policy. It means your taxes go up …
—————————-
Your recommendation is not so much for Atty. Murphy to smear McMahon with the “Republican” label, but to lie about what Republicans advocate; Medicare is going bust regardless of the fact that taxpayers “paid for it,” and taxes and insurance premiums are going up under the Barry-Harry-Pelosi “healthcare reform” not under the Romney-Ryan fiscal proposals, such as they are.
But, frankly, I can’t interpret that race as having much to do with issues. Neither of them has positions on the issues that I could summarize, at least not as easily as I can their cartoonish advertising. Neither of them has a word to say about insane levels of federal spending since 2007, but especially since 2009. He’s a lawyer-pol-hack and she’s a “job-creator” in the soft porn industry. The Nutbag State voters don’t deserve better, and I’ll be more than satisfied with her election into a Republican Senate majority.
He threw down the race card, saying Republicans want him to wash their cars.
CNSNews.com reports that Obama said,
“While speaking in Cincinnati on Monday [September 17], Obama said, “The only thing they [Republicans] can do is keep trying to bluff their way through until November, and hope that you won’t call them on it. But understand Cincinnati, look, I want to work with them to reduce the deficit. I’ve said if the Republicans need more love, if they want me to walk the dog or wash their car, I’m happy to do it.”
This language is reminiscent of a reported conversation between Bill Clinton and Ted Kennedy back before the 2008 election as recalled in the September 10, 2012 edition of The New Yorker magazine.
“Bill Clinton’s attacks hurt Hillary as much as they did Obama. The [New York] Times denounced Clinton’s fairy-tale comment as a “bizarre and rambling attack” and as exemplifying a campaign that was “perilously close to injecting racial tension” into the conversation. At a press conference in South Carolina the morning after Obama won the state, Bill Clinton seemed to dismiss the victory as a fluke of local demography. “Jesse Jackson won South Carolina in ’84 and ’88,” he said. “Jackson ran a good campaign. And Obama ran a good campaign here.” Tim Russert told me that, according to his sources, Bill Clinton, in an effort to secure an endorsement for Hillary from Ted Kennedy, said to Kennedy, “A few years ago, this guy would have been carrying our bags.” Clinton’s role in the campaign rattled Obama. He told ABC News in an interview that Clinton “has taken his advocacy on behalf of his wife to a level that I think is pretty troubling.”
In a January 10, 2010 article in NewYorkDailyNews.com, staff writer Helen Kennedy wrote,
Bill Clinton helped sink his wife’s chances for an endorsement from Ted Kennedy by belittling Barack Obama as nothing but a race-based candidate.
“A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee,” the former president told the liberal lion from Massachusetts, according to the gossipy new campaign book, “Game Change.”
The book says Kennedy was deeply offended and recounted the conversation to friends with fury.
After Kennedy sided with Obama, Clinton reportedly griped, “the only reason you are endorsing him is because he’s black. Let’s just be clear.”
Now we have Obama saying that the (racist) Republicans would have him walk dogs and wash their cars in order for him to show them some respect.
This is what candidate desperation looks like.
It won’t be the last time he uses the Race Card.
Man that American “Thinker” is really working hard! What a stretch……….
New Media Spin: When the Democrats have a better fundraising month than Romney it’s “proof that the Wealthy elite are abandoning Romney”. Another variation of “It’s Over”.
On months when Romney wins the funding war then it’s proof that “Citizen’s United allowed the Koch Brothers to buy the country and we need an amendment to stop it”.
All of which leads to the “political reporters and commentators are entertainers not journalists. Partisan hacks in a form of reality show competition”.
Pity the poor Investigative Journalist who is more isolated than ever.
So Mr. McEnroe has a real job? I always wondered what columnists did all day at the newspaper.
