What this tech-challenged TAM needs is a printable “F” report card to send to PrezBOW!
Does anyone else believe it’s possible that Urkel’s real approval rating might be lower than 44%? Some of my normal (i.e. conservative) family & friends discussed this when it first got under 50%, and believe it could be off by 10-15% based on some poll respondents fear of being branded racist by giving a negative rating. It’s analogous to what Tammy discussed last week about secret ballot vs. caucus ballot in the primaries. Obviously, we have no way to prove our theory. I don’t know how the polls are taken. If they’re somehow done totally anonymously, then I’ll have to accept the given results…. And wonder why there’s still too many people smokin’ the dope!
Hey Oprah,
It’s me, the center of your universe, Obama … Hey baby.. I give myself a B+ .. No debate Oprah. Look at my smile, look at my ears. *egotistic, pompous, bumptious, imperious* .. I’d be an A + but America is a racist country. I’d be doing so much more but I’m being held back ..
Take note department of education- 44% is the new B + .. Adjust your grading accordingly. Nuff said, Obama
I’m always in the mood for more Tammy!! She is an awesome patriot!! Good to have her on our side.
Is anyone going to organize a march on the Senate for the health care bill? I’ll be there if I have to crawl.
OT/ Check this out – Palin’s tax system setup could give Alaska an over $300 million dollar surplus this fiscal year (Palin’s budget year), and maybe a $500 million surplus next year:

I personally think they probably will have to put like a ten year tax rate or cap guarantee or something into the mix before the pipeline will get built. That’s reasonable; Palin has said as much. As a matter of fact, the Palin adminstration originally put a ten year predicatability thing into AGIA ( I think it was AGIA) but the legislature took it out over concerns of constitutionality (which is dumb, in my opinion).
But those negotations will only be fair to all involved if the state maintains its position of strength. The minute they start to prostrate themselves before the oil companies again, it’s all over. They’ll smell the weakness and zero in on it like blood in the water. I hope Parnell inherited some of Palin’s backbone.
Want to see how Palin would handle tough negotiations with foreign countries? Look at how she brought the oil companies to their knees. This book tells the story. It’s technical, but it’s well worth it:

And if that pipeline gets going, we’re talking hundreds of jobs (good paying jobs) for a few years. I love this clip of Palin at the Iron Dog race earlier this year (kinda hard to hear over the snowmachines). If America really wants to stimulate the economy, we need a natural gas pipeline:

Oh, this is a touching story by PatrickinOH over at C4P. Story of a tea party organizer Patrick knows:
He was right behind Sarah at a rally in Troy, Ohio and one of his friends from his military days handed a shirt to Todd Palin that said Stryker Mom. Todd thought that he wanted the shirt signed but the man said no he wanted to give the shirt to Sarah, when she saw the shirt a tear formed in her eye and she said “Sir, I will wear that shirt with honor.” He also confirmed that Sarah will be the keynote speaker at the Tea Party Convention in Nashville, TN Feb 4-6.
What grade for Obama? Obviously: Epic Fail.
I’ll give Duh One a solid F-.
I’m grading him that high only because a Z- grade doesn’t exist.
It’s funny that in regards to the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II the only major public figure who opposed it was none other than FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, who is a reviled historical figure by liberals. Liberal icons Franklin D. Roosevelt and Earl Warren (governor of California during World War II) were the two main parties responsible.
The importance of humility and honor has been on my mind of late.
Life seems to be all about teaching the humility.
Some are perhaps unchanged by such lessons, perhaps being a “cracked vessel” as in the bible.
Initial presumption of right to take by force, as a keystone philosophical precept, as is the liberal way, requires such arrogance that elitism is innate in that philosophical path, from incept.
Abandonment of honor is a thorny one to think on. It is perhaps the excluded quality of egalitarianism, antithesis to the liberal way, that gives the key.
The “little people” that the elite will take from, and perhaps give to, according to their whim, are subjects, perhaps unwillingly so, not peers. Was it Plato who said you can tell the masters from the slaves, according to who is armed?
Only those who are armed can enforce any claim for the truth. There is something here I can’t quite put my finger on. It seems that honor and being truthful and being armed and being peers goes together. Those who would be masters seek constantly to disarm and deceive the subjects. Most of our political class seem to want to be a new aristocracy, masters over a disarmed populace. I say join the NRA this very moment. JFK did. God how times change.
I say it’s everyones patriotic duty to support the right that is the ultimate infrastructural right to all others. The group that fights for it is not the ACLU, they say “we don’t do 2nd Amendment.”
Consistent with the liberal way? Yes.
Join the demonized, loyally defending NRA. http://home.nra.org/#/home
Criminology Stats say more guns means less crime, so you will be supporting that way as well.

It seems NASA might be part of the big hoax.

in the late 80s a herd of northern gheys, goths, musicians and artsy types moved to houston. we thought they were nuts but come to find out they loved it and most never returned. it was quite the ‘ alternative whatever’ mecca of that time.

Obama Family Christmas day on HGTV! Whaaaat! HGTV is one channel away from Fox and is my “go to channel” when either the once, (aw)Shuckawas, Newt, or any of those other dingbats show up to pontificate. Even THEY have gone to the O-side. Geez louise. My (EX)boyfriend shot his tv once (I’m not supposed to tell anybody that; it’s a good story though especially since he decided after 7 years, a 19 year old was better than a 36 year old…); maybe I ought to give it a try…..shooting the tv thing that is. I’ve been cured of relationships.
