Driving Miss... But Not By Much
A Florida woman was arrested after trying to run over her husband about 20 times with a minivan. After an argument over $300.00, she chased him around their yard with their child in the vehicle. Sounds like maybe the kid needs to stay with Grandma and Grandpa until the parents can grow up.
I will say this... if she was able to almost hit him 20 times without hitting something else in the yard, she's a better driver than my wife. Just sayin'
McCain Almost Switched Parties... Twice
Depending on who is telling the story, either McCain sought invitations to switch or was approached about switching over to the Democrats.
Still, Democrats were stunned one
Saturday in late March when, by their account, John Weaver, Mr. McCain’s
longtime political strategist, reached out to Thomas J. Downey, a former
Democratic congressman from Long Island who had become a lobbyist with powerful
connections on Capitol Hill. In Mr. Downey’s telling, Mr. Weaver posed a
question to him over lunch that left him stunned.
“He says, ‘John McCain is
wondering why nobody’s ever approached him about switching parties, or becoming
an independent and allying himself with the Democrats,’ †Mr. Downey said in a
recent interview. “My reaction was, ‘When I leave this lunch, your boss will be
called by anybody you want him to be called by in the United States Senate.’ â€
I've long said that McCain would be more honest to change parties and it would improve the quality of both.
Mr. McCain, who has rarely spoken
publicly of his talks with Mr. Kerry, said last month that he had dismissed the
vice-presidential offer out of hand. “He is, as he describes himself, a liberal
Democrat,†Mr. McCain said of Mr. Kerry when he was asked about the episode by a
participant at a public forum in Atlanta. “I am a conservative Republican. So
when I was approached, when we had that conversation back in 2004, that’s why I
never even considered such a thing.â€
Yeah, and I'm an X-man. He's not a conservative, he's not a Republican except in name only, and nobody has multiple talks about something they're not even considering. That John McCain can't be trusted on this type of thing has been demonstrated time and time again. The only thing I trust him completely about is for him to do what he wants... no matter how it impacts others.
Ugh. No matter what, I'm going to hate our next president.
That's so depressing.

The election isn't over... we still have Nader, right? /sarc
Seriously though, although it's probably around 99.9% sure to be one of these three, we still have both conventions to go. If one or both become brokered, things could get even more interesting.

Sudden nightmare vision as I read this. IIRC, the Republican convention is after the Democratic convention. This is the nightmare; Obama is nominated. McCain offers the VP slot to Hillary. (Saving grace: I think she wouldn't take it. She has no wish to be anybody's second fiddle.) More nightmarish, but less likely because I think Obama will be nominated: Clinton is nominated, and McCain offers the VP slot to Obama. And Obama just might take it. All three of them can wrap this poison up in nice sounding justifications.
Does that sound possible to you?

I think Hillary will take the nomination and don't think John McCain would offer Obama anything. If Obama does take the nomination, McCain might consider offering Hillary the VP slot because they're buds and she would bring in votes he wouldn't otherwise get. Most people who support Hillary are not going to vote Obama... they'll vote Independent (Nader) or McCain.
The Dems are too polarized right now and the leadership knows it. Hillary will pursue a "scorched-Earth" policy and completely split the party to punish it for abandoning her. The Dem leadership will test her and she'll convince them that she's willing to go all the way. Look for Hillary to get the nod and Obama to strongly endorse her to keep the party together. Obama will be promised the next shot after Hillary (whether he gets it is another story, the Dems aren't very good at keeping those kinds of promises... hence the problems they're having now).
The sad thing is, Hillary will beat McCain in November after Obama swings his supporters over to her because then the MSM will have the clear choice they're looking for and every story/poll/editorial will be slanted for Hillary and against McCain. They've mostly held off on McCain so far because any weakness they attack is shared by one or both of the Dem candidates. When it gets down to one Dem, they'll focus on the McCain faults where the Dem looks strong (or at least neutral).

I don't blame anyone for being disillusioned with McCain or for refusing to vote for him. That said, McCain isn't that much different than Bush. I think McCain will be as strong as Bush on the military and the war on terror, and I have about as much confidence in McCain on judicial appointments as I did on Bush before he was elected. Bush's appointments ended up well but there was that problem with Miers ...
Finally, Bush often talked the conservative talk but most of what he did was talk, not act. He rarely used his veto except on war-related matters. His position on illegal immigration is much like McCain's. Who knows what McCain will do on taxes but, frankly, who knew what Bush would do either?
Frankly, I'm not happy with everything Bush did but I'll probably never be happy with everything an elected official does. But I know I'd be more happy with someone like Bush than I would be with Clinton or Obama.

Hi DRJ, I agree that McCain is similar to Bush in a lot of policy areas... I don't think he holds a candle to him in honesty though. That said, I don't have a problem with anyone willing to vote for McCain, or any other candidate for that matter, as long as they're voting their convictions. (short rant here)I disagree with people who vote for someone;
1. out of party loyalty when that person doesn't reflect your beliefs, 2. because of their race (or against another person's race), 3. because of their gender (or against another person's gender), 4. anything resembling 2. or 3. that doesn't have anything to do with their political positions or character.
If the Democrats have a spiritual and intellectual awakening and start representing conservative ideals, I'll join the Democratic Party. If the Republicans have a spiritual and intellectual re-awakening, I'll rejoin the Republican Party. Right now, neither major party represents my ideals so I'll be an Independent. I'd rather have a much smaller voice in support of what I believe than help represent something I don't believe in. It's about being right, not about being in office. (/rant)

In theory, I agree with everything in your last comment. In practice, however, my opinion is colored (no pun intended) by my experience with juries.
Juries make decisions for all sorts of reasons - some logical, some cockamamie, and sometimes a little of both. However, in my experience, they almost always end up doing the right thing even if it's for the wrong reason. I look at voting the same way.
Posted by: DRJ at 25 March 2008@23:22:36 (wE7Og)

I don't disagree with anything you're saying and believe it's completely compatible with what I said above. Juries are presented with both physical and circumstantial evidence which they combine with their own experience and knowledge to render a verdict. Voters are presented with both a candidate's record and their campaign platform which they combine with their own experience and knowledge to decide their vote.
I would have a problem with any juror who rendered their verdict based solely on the defendant's nationality, race, gender, etc... anything beyond the physical and circumstantial evidence and their understanding of the law. I expect the same from a voter.
You are absolutely correct that juries do the right thing more often than not. They are also cautioned prior to deliberating that a responsible juror renders their verdict in good faith, not based on any preconceived stereotype of the defendant. Shouldn't voters receive the same caution? That's the point of my rant above. If someone honestly believes that voting for McCain is the best use of their franchise, they have my unreserved support. If they're voting for him because he's the "only white guy running", they deserve nothing but contempt.
I don't like crossover voting to influence another party's candidate, nor do I like party-line votes just because "I'm a Democrat/Republican", so I don't do it. If somebody else chooses to, that's their choice. I'm just throwing out my reasons for being against it for whatever worth they believe my opinion holds. Barring some kind of brokered convention miracle, I am not going to like whoever wins in November. Tough cookies for me, but I'll be fine... the military lived on cookie crumbs during Clinton's administration and survived.
Despite what people say about McCain now, our military is going to be getting some more crumbs even if he's elected. That will be the "bipartisan" bone he throws to try and placate the Dems. I don't think we'll have a chance to see if that's correct though, because once the Dems decide a nominee, we're going to see a media blitz against McCain that makes Bush Derangement Syndrome seem mild. We've got at least four years of "Socialist Lite" coming and I'm hoping that the phrase "It took a Carter to give us a Reagan" has some truth to it.

Let's Not Jump To Conclusions
The media will speculate on anything reflecting poorly towards the United States, the military, the police, the economy, or anything else that progressive deem evil. Notice how careful they are not to speculate in this story?
The owner of the business told police that he believes he may have shot the suspect in the back.
Shortly
afterwards, police responded to a call from a man who said he was shot
in the back at an address 1/2 of a mile away from the scene of the
robbery. It is unknown whether these two incidents are related.
Idiots. They must think we're idiots. There's no other explanation.
1
In my experience, this sort of agnosticism comes from the spokesman of the PD, not the reporter or his editors. Reporter: Can I say this man is the same one who was shot in the back down the street? Spokesman: No. We haven't finished investigating. We don't know if the two incidents are actually related. So reporter uses the spokesman's line. Also remember this is one of the low on the totem pole reporters. You're not allowed to speculate until you slither higher up on the totem pole
Posted by: kishnevi at 23 March 2008@20:13:19 (456EJ)
On Sunday, arraignment court staff confirmed that Damon Dreher is being
held in the Allegheny County Jail under $150,000 bond in connection
with the shooting. He is being charged with robbery, aggravated
assault, and gun violations.
If the original statement came from the police, it should have said so. "The police spokesman wouldn't speculate on whether the two incidents were related." would have sufficed. Then, they edit the story without any notation of having done so. As written, all statements in the original are attributed to the reporter. I'm rarely inclined to give the MSM benefit of the doubt... this case isn't one I would start with.

You have a point, as always. I wonder how many recognize or admit the reason for this, though. Both print, radio, and TV networks seem to rationalize and blame others.
I do wonder as well how much of the newspaper loss comes from a growingly illiterate population. It's like financing public health programs with tobacco taxes. Trying to pay for an ever growing program from a shrinking revenue stream. PC schools and an ignorant population make sheep who are easy to manipulate but sheep don't read newspapers or follow current events. This is a two edged sword for socialists in a capitalist society.

Rather than illiterate, I would venture to say they're more superficial. Less inclined to study classical literature or technical reading outside their own interests. There is much to be said for a well-rounded knowledge base, but little call for it in today's workplace. This means only those who are self-motivated, or have been taught the value of knowledge by their parents, seek out reading material for their own education.
I would also say that socialism is a two-edged sword in any society... with both edges threatening anyone outside the power structure. There are more sheep around than is really healthy for our country, but far fewer than you fear. They just keep getting the best headlines.

They're At It Again
The "doom-and-gloom" media never tire of beating the same old drums. There is always disaster just around the corner when they talk about the economy.
To the drumbeat of signs that seemed to foretell a traditional
recession, this added a nightmarish specter — an old-style run on the
bank, customers clamoring to pull their cash, a stately Wall Street
firm brought to its knees.
Of course, that "traditional recession" they speak of has yet to see a single quarter of negative GDP.
As economists and Wall Street types grope for historical perspective — which is another way of saying
a road map out of this mess — Americans are nervously wondering about
retirement savings, interest rates, jobs that had seemed safe.
I'm glad they clarified that for us... feh. Because Americans have never worried about retirement savings, interest rates, or jobs that had seemed safe.
They are peering over the edge and asking: How far down? And the scariest part of all? No one can say for sure.
No fear-mongering here, right? The same tired rhetoric that they've pumped since Bush was elected, even before September 11th, and we're still supposed to be breathless in anticipation of the coming doom.
I
am not a fan of John McCain. Not at all. I am less a fan of the MSM
and hate dishonest smears against anyone., even those I disagree with politically.
McCain wrote two letters in late
1999 to the Federal Communications Commission on behalf of Florida-based Paxson
Communications. He urged quick consideration of a proposal to buy a television
station license in Pittsburgh, although he did not ask the FCC commissioners
to approve the proposal. At the time, one FCC commissioner's formal
nomination was pending before McCain's Senate committee, and the FCC chairman
complained that McCain's letters were improper.
Why was it improper? Because the FCC chairman felt pressured to do his
job? I think that's an appropriate use of Senatorial influence.
Telling someone it's time to make a decision is much different than telling
them what the decision will/should be.
So who was this FCC Chairman? According to wiki, it was William E. Kennard, a Democrat from California who is now a member of the Board of
Directors of Sprint Nextel Corporation, The New York Times Company,
Hawaiian Telcom and Insight Communications. Funny how that "reaching
across the aisle" only works one way, isn't it? Democrats are all
about the "bipartisanship" when Republicans do the reaching... the
other way, not so much.
I've got to give McCain a pass on this. The Keating Five
scandal is still his to own however.

The "Typical" Leftist
The thing I value most about reading Dr. Sanity is that the articles are not based on psychobabble and platitudes, but sound behavioral and psychological principles. As she usually does, in this article Dr. Pat peels aways the layers of confusion surrounding leftist ideology and motivation. What happens when a party based on identity politics and always being a victim implodes because one class of victim collides with another?
The only legacy that the candidacy of Barack Obama is going to leave with the American people is one of racial polarization ;divisiveness;
and identity politics taken to the nth degree. Amazingly, this could
have been predicted at the very start of the campaign as the two
Democrat-approved victim groups lined up to do battle for the
nomination, each believing they represented the purist victims of the
evils of the white male capitalist oppressors.
Read the entire article to get the clearest picture I've seen of how leftist ideas are veiled attempts at grabbing power and always end up hurting the people they claim are most in need of help. If you read her regularly it becomes much simpler to understand why progressives inevitably make things worse.
States Balk At Real ID
I can't help but notice that this article mentions some extremely weak objections to State ID Cards meeting a Federal Standard before being accepted at a Federal level. If someone is entering a Federal Building or boarding a plane, their identity should be established in a reliable manner.
At issue is a law known as Real ID that would require new security
measures for state-issued driver's licenses. The Bush administration
says the law, passed after the Sept. 11 attacks, will hinder
terrorists, con artists and illegal immigrants. Opponents say it will
cost too much and weaken privacy protections.
And how much did 9/11 cost? How about illegal aliens? Voter fraud? Identity theft? Why would any responsible agency be resistant to reliable identification? The argument about weakened privacy is just as flawed. If they're talking about that information being accessed inappropriately, that happens now. There is no reason to think that the information will be less secure and every reason to believe that misuse will be identified quicker than it is now because it can be cross-referenced faster.
What expectation of privacy should there be in boarding a commercial flight or entering a Federal Building? Even without a Real ID standard identification card, any person can still fly or conduct their business inside a Federal Building once they've undergone a secondary screening. If they don't like the idea of a secondary screening... get a Real ID compliant identification card or don't try to engage in activities that require reliable identification.
This should have been done a long time ago. Nobody is being forced to get a particular ID card and it's not a National Registration. All it's doing is making sure that a state driver's license will provide a reliable identification of that person... a minimum standard. What good is an ID card that doesn't ID someone reliably?
My Invitation Must Have Gotten Lost In The Mail
I'm sure that's it, because no way in the Buffyverse would I not have been invited to this:
The cast of the popular supernatural series, which ran from 1997 to
2003 on The WB and then UPN, were in good spirits Thursday while
reuniting for a panel discussion at the William S. Paley Television Festival. That doesn't mean fans should expect the gang to get back together on screen.
Ok, maybe my occasional rants about Joss Whedon being a totally insane moonbat might have been a factor, even though he's a literary and comic genius (or maybe that's because... must think on this). Or maybe the temporary permanent restraining order(s) in place regarding my completely innocent interaction(s) with one several of the BtVS cast. And I'm certain that having all the DVD's and playing them sequentially and repetitively could only be a plus, just like having most of the novels, scripts, philosophical analysis' (yes, there are several), theme-related literature (like "Fray" from Joss Whedon), and assorted "Buffy sayings and definitions" books has got to work in my favor.
Given all the positive factors and the oh-so-few-and-insignificant negative factors, the only reasonable conclusion is that the United States Postal Service is at fault.

Ready For The Olympics?
I still think boycotting the Opening Ceremonies is a good idea, but is even going to China a good idea? First, you have the situation in Tibet:
The violence in Lhasa — a stunning show of
defiance against 57 years of Chinese rule — has sparked sympathy
demonstrations in neighboring provinces, prompting Beijing to blanket a
huge area with troops and warn tourists and foreign journalists to stay
away.
For the 11th consecutive year, China has topped
the list in number of traffic deaths -- 5.1 for every 10,000 motor
vehicles. The Xinhua News Agency report Friday says government
statistics show nearly 82,000 road deaths in China last year.
A spokesman for China's Earthquake Administration
said it was a 7.3 magnitude quake. There were no immediate reports of
injuries, he said, and the area is sparsely populated.
Why would we want to go there anyway? Their economy is in great shape because they learned from us and have opened up their markets. Supporting it hurts our own interests. Do we really want to continue supporting that growth so their government can continue their military buildup and continue their oppressive policies?
China should not have been awarded the Olympics in the first place. Why reward them, and the idiots who made the decision, by helping the Games go smoothly? Skip the Opening Ceremonies at least... but it wouldn't bother me if the only ones to show were China, Iran, North Korea, Syria, etc... When the Games became professionalized, they lost all real meaning anyway.

Back on topic, which if I recall correctly was reasons not to go to China for the Olympics: Because you will be monitored every place you go, including in your hotel room.
Honestly, I would assume I was monitored everywhere in China or Russia anyway. The logistics of actually doing it are impossible of course, but it would be the only safe course. Privacy anywhere is never absolutely assured.
The safety issues in your link are much more persuasive. Interesting how they have funds and resources for monitoring, but lack the funds for adequate locks, fire and CO2 alarms, and other emergency essentials.

About Me
I am a Psychiatric Nurse who retired from the Army after 24 years total service. I started out as a Private E-1, made Sergeant E-5 in 23 months, then went to nursing school and ROTC to get commissioned. I am interested in politics where I lean heavily conservative, movies, music, and books. Hopefully you will enjoy what you see and come back often.
