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.

Yet another Iowa pol becomes a Fredhead

Another piece of the conservative Iowa puzzle fell into place today as Rep. Gary Worthan endorsed Fred Thompson. Worthan pretty much summed up my thoughts: “I’ve been impressed with Fred’s ability to boil the issues down to the essential items, without a lot of hyperbole. He just plain tells the truth. We’re in a long hard struggle and there are no easy answers like some of the other candidates are coming with.”

Things are starting to gel, and as both Rick Moran and I pointed out on bRight @ Night, there is still a lot of room for movement in Iowa. The late endorsements from the politicians that matter, the Fred bus tour, and the blogburst (both the money raised and the numbers shown) have put Thompson on the far bank of the half-frozen river and in position to be the last man standing, not just the last conservative standing.

Wile E. Huckabee – suuuuuper genius

I got a bit inspired by Brennan’s use of the word “brilliance” to describe Mike Huckabee’s latest two gaffes

I know, I’m no Chuck Jones, and that isn’t from “Operation: Rabbit”, but it fits the entire Huck-A-Boom/Huck-A-Bomb theme.

Revisions/extensions (10:41 pm 12/28/2007) – Latest bout of genius from Huck – he took $52,000 in speaking fees from entities working on embryonic stem cell research, working on expanding access to the “morning after” pill, and pushing for more gun grabs (H/T – Slublog from both his place and AoSHQ).

Eggs on the ‘Net radio

by @ 19:20. Filed under Miscellaneous.

Jim Lynch, proprietor of bRight & Early, invited me on his bRight @ Night BlogTalkRadio show tonight at 9:30 pm to talk about the Thompson blogburst. Fortunately, I have at best third billing, because Jim also invited Rick Moran, the guy behind the blogburst, as well as Sean Hackbarth from the Thompson campaign.

The call-in number there is (718) 664-9725.

Fred Blogburst – Day 2 – SUCCESS!

by @ 14:42. Filed under Miscellaneous.

Well, it’s down to the wire. I wish I didn’t have to say that it was Day 2 of the blogburst, or down to the wire, but we don’t have the big money of a Giuliani or a Paul or a Clinton or an Obama. What we do have is numbers of ordinary people who have settled on Fred Thompson as their person for the White House.

As of 2:30 pm Central, or 2 1/2 hours from H-hour, we still needed $29,481 in the back of the red pickup. While we’ve raised enough to get the “Substance” ad on the air for a couple days, it’s not quite enough to keep it on the air through January 2.

Jim Lynch suggested skipping a couple lunches; I know I need to.

Fred took some time to film a combination “thank you/close that gap” message…

Now, get that truck filled up.

Fred08 - Contribute Now

Revisions/extensions (7:09 pm 12/28/2007) – We did it. I was out battling the white death here in my corner of the land of cheese and beer so I don’t know what time we hit the mark, but as of 5:19 pm Central, the truck had $254,760. I thank you, and the Thompson campaign thanks you.
