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.
Political Office In Alec Baldwin’s Future?
Now That He’s 50, Actor Tells 60 Minutes Political Office Is Looking More Appealing
Let’s see, another empty headed, egomanical liberal with anger management issues.
Baldwin could make Franken look nearly mainstream.
House Democrats are working to pass a “Housing rescue package.” The main provisions of the bill are similar to those that have been reported for the past few months including:
I won’t carry on about why this bill is bad policy except to refrain the words “bail out” and remind Nancy Pelosi that a majority Americans do not want this legislation. President Bush has said he will veto the bill.
No, I won’t carry on about BAIL OUT but there was one provision in the bill that I found particularly appalling coming from the Democrats (sorry for the redundancy):
To ensure that lenders participate and support the bill the Democrats have added a provision that creates a safe harbor from investor lawsuits for mortgage holders who modify loans to borrowers who are in default or about to default.
So the Dems want to grant immunity for legal issues to the companies that comply with the desires of Congress. Hey, wait a minute. That sounds a lot like granting of immunity for the telephone companies that comply with FISA! Isn’t that immunity issue the major sticking point with reenacting FISA?
Are Pelosi and company telling us that they believe it is more important to bail out people who made poor individual choices than to allow intelligence practices that have been essential in providing national security?
John McCain originally said that he opposed any housing bailout. I know he is strongly supportive of FISA. The blatant hypocrisy over corporate immunity would be a great opportunity for McCain to draw a bright line of separation so voters can see which party will actually do something about national security and which is just pandering.
It’s Thursday; you know what that means…

– In case you missed doubleplusundead’s and Ace’s call, Stashiu needs your help to keep his adopted daughters. The lawyer he trusted to file the proper paperwork way back when didn’t exactly do so, and ICE is giving him a hard time.
– Sister Toldjah is looking for a new host. If you have any suggestions, please let her know (if her blog is down and you don’t have her e-mail, you can leave it here and I’ll make sure she gets it).
– Matt Lewis says, “Bloggers matter.” Allahpundit may disagree, but it’s kind of hard to argue with Matt Naugle and The Hammer.
– Speaking of AP, he’s yelling, “COBRAMA!”
– Jib has some timely advice for Brewer fans. It’s getting ugly, and June’s coming up real quick. I don’t have a link, but Jeff Wagner remembered that it wasn’t until June 1982 that Harvey Kuenn took over for the Brew Crew, and that team came within a game of winning a World Series. Hint to Doug Melvin – “Fire Yost now and beat the rush.”
– Tom McMahon takes up the cause of Minnie Minoso.
– Owen notes the motto in Jim “Craps” Doyle’s (WEAC/Potawatomi-For Sale) administration is, “Don’t worry about what we’re telling the presstitutes; take those junkets.”
– Ed Driscoll has the post title of the day – “Arise, Sir Loin of Beef!” Barack Obama does make a perfect Sheriff of Nottingham, but I don’t see a Bugs Bunny anywhere, much less in Rockefeller Center.
– Pejman Yousefzadeh has the runner-up – “Meet The New Boss”. Looks like the Sovi…er, Russians are getting fooled again.
It’s funny how some people are so easily offended.
Putting aside Mr. Kings errant understanding of the constitutional right to free speech, perhaps Mr. King was genuinely concerned about those who have had or were contemplating an abortion when he added: “Do not put this in front of all of us!”
Do you think Mr. King was as concerned for families who had lost loved ones in Iraq when Cindy Sheehan had her infamous campout in Crawford Texas?
