No Runny Eggs

The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

Picture of the day – arse*-kicking edition

by @ 12:30. Filed under Politics.

It’s been far too long since I linked to S. Weasel. That’s one of the dangers of having too many blogs to read. In any case, she had a front-row seat for the arse*-kicking the British voters delivered Gordon Brown and the Labour Party yesterday, and took made this picture (unfortunately, she didn’t pack alexthechick’s stompy boots)…

To encourage you to read the whole thing, I’ve disabled comments on this post.

* Yes, I know we Yanks say “ass”, but since it was a British Royal kicking, I’ll make an exception to the proper spelling of vulgarities. If you can’t deal with that, I’ve got two words for you, and the first is “fuck”.

Tuesday Hot Read – Lou Pritchett’s “You Scare Me”

by @ 12:13. Filed under Politics - National.

(H/T – Charlie Sykes)

Lou Pritchett is a former vice president at Procter & Gamble. According to Snopes, which confirmed Lou’s authorship of the following letter, he originally submitted this to the New York Times, which refused to acknowledge receipt of the letter and refused to publish it. Unlike my usual Hot Reads, I will republish the letter in its entirety:

AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA

Dear President Obama:

You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike any of the others, you truly scare me.

You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you.

You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive Ivy League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no visible signs of support.

You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth growing up in America and culturally you are not an American.

You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.

You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus don’t understand it at its core..

You scare me because you lack humility and ‘class’, always blaming others.

You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned yourself with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail.

You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the ‘blame America’ crowd and deliver this message abroad.

You scare me because you want to change America to a European style country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector.

You scare me because you want to replace our health care system with a government controlled one.

You scare me because you prefer ‘wind mills’ to responsibly capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves.

You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose that lays the golden egg which provides the highest standard of living in the world.

You scare me because you have begun to use ‘extortion’ tactics against certain banks and corporations.

You scare me because your own political party shrinks from challenging you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals.

You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider opposing points of view from intelligent people.

You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both omnipotent and omniscient.

You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything you do.

You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the Limbaughs, Hannitys, O’Relllys and Becks who offer opposing, conservative points of view.

You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.

Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will probably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years.

Lou Pritchett

Since one of the liberal apologists over at Charlie’s site failed Reading Comprehension 101, I’ll list the 13 Presidents that Lou has lived under:

  • Barack Obama
  • George W. Bush
  • Bill Clinton
  • George H.W. Bush
  • Ronald Reagan
  • Jimmy Carter
  • Gerald Ford
  • Richard Nixon
  • Lyndon Johnson
  • John Kennedy
  • Dwight Eisenhower
  • Harry Truman
  • Franklin Roosevelt

While Lou has but childhood first-hand memories of FDR, he has also lived as an adult under some very liberal Presidents.

Do also note that those with recent experience with what Obama wants to do and is doing have rejected the kindred spirits to Obama in EU parliamentary elections. Can you say, “The warning bells are ringing!”?

This is your 12-hour warning for Drinking Right. It is the second Tuesday of the month, so we’ll be at Papa’s Social Club (7718 W Burleigh in Milwaukee) at 7 pm tonight. Nick reports that Elliot Stearns (or at least his close friend Michael) will be there. Will you?
