Tony Snow - dies at 53

Tony Snow has succumb to the cancer that forced him to quit his press secretary duties under the Bush Administration. Mr. Snow was fifty three.

Though when it came down to political ideology, Mr. Snow and I would be at different ends of the spectrum, I always found him to be one of the better conservative news journalist. His humor, wit, and intellect kept him well above the rest.

Mr. Snow, you will be missed by this Democrat. My heart and condolences go out to your family and friends. Rest well, Mr. Snow.

With advisors like this, who needs enemies?

Phil Gramm has tripped on his proverbial pecker while commenting on those that are worried about the economy. He called this "a nation of whiners" whose economic complaints are mostly "mental".

Remember Phil Gramm was a Senator that was a Democratic Senator from Texas before he slid over to being a Republican. He had slipped many ill-advised resolution in bills prior to his retirement from the Senate. And in many cases, he created the debacles you see as of late.

This is a man that has done nothing but suck off the government's teat since he was born. And yet, he cries about less government in people's lives. Without the government, this man would have been on the unemployment line years ago.

Donations to Hillary from the Obama supporters...

If anyone has been paying attention, you will realize that the grand total that the Obama supporters have given to Hillary Clinton's debt of ten million dollars is ------------------

under $100,000 dollars.

It appears many are not willing to give money to Hillary. Is it because they dislike her to begin with, or is it because she created the debt by staying in longer than she needed to?

Many feel she could have saved herself from the debt if she would have bowed out earlier than she did.

What is your opinion?

State may be coming up short on unemployment benefits!

It was recently announced that thirty three states are dangerously close to running out on unemployment benefits for those that are on unemployment. And now, the federal government is about to extend the length of time a person can be on unemployment benefits.

What is going to happen to the people on unemployment? What will they do when they run out?
And what direction are we headed?

Obama on Iraq

Does anyone know what the hell Sen. Obama's position on Iraq is truly? Was he for withdraw before he was against it? Or was he against it before he was for it before he was against it?

In the last two weeks, he has proved he is the candidate of change, and he has done that on many of his issues in this time frame.

Bozo the Clown

Bozo the Clown has died. It is official, the Bozo the Clown has died. There will be no more Bozo Buttons, golden stars, or chocolate chip cookies for any of us, anymore.

Larry Harmon wasn't the original Bozo the Clown, but he was the real one. Harmon, who portrayed the wing-haired clown for more than half a century, died Thursday of congestive heart failure, said his publicist, Jerry Digney. He was 83.

My heart goes out to all of Bozo's family members and friends. When it comes down to it, we are all his friends. I, like many others, grew up with Bozo the Clown. I watched him every day just to see what him and Cookie were going to do.

I miss him already.

Jesse Helms the ultimate Conservative

Although I am the first to say I was not a fan of the Ultra-Conservative Senator from North Carolina; however, I admired him for his commitment to the cause in which he believed.

By its very nature, politics can create divisions among us. And in the Senate, Sen. Helms was very good at creating those divisions in both parties.

As my father said, "If you piss people off on all sides of an issue, you must have done something right."

My heart goes out to Mr. Helm's family and friends. May he rest, peacefully, and be allowed to reap all the awards in his heaven that he has sown.
