What McCain Said on Spending
I take exception to saying that Bernanke, Obama, Reid and Pelosi are spending like drunken sailors.
When I was a drunken sailor, I quit spending when I ran out of money.” – Senator John McCain
Thought for the Day
“This president is in so far over his head he needs scuba gear.” ~ Imus
What Jefferson Said…
To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical. – Thomas Jefferson
Churchill on Socialism
“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” ~ Winston Churchill
On Democrats and Pragmatism
If 21st Century Progressives led the 19th Century Abolition Movement, we’d still have slavery, but we’d have limited it to 40 hour work weeks, and we’d be so proud of the progress we’d made.
~ John Marty, Minnesota State Senator
Are you a Libertarian?
I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism.” ~ Ronald Reagan
The Birds Barbie Doll for Halloween
Now I’m sorry I live such a secluded life. Who knew there was an Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘The Birds’ Barbie Doll? It’s Tippy Hedron! Attacked by crows in the schoolyard! Ha. Actually, it came out last Halloween but this is the first time I’ve seen it. They didn’t have these things when I was a kid.

Lincoln Thought The Bums Should be Thrown Out Too

Thought of the Day: Daniel Webster
“Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and the Republic for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster, and what has happened once in 6,000 years, may not happen again. Hold on to the Constitution, for if the American Constitution should fail, there will be anarchy throughout the world.” – Daniel Webster (1782 – 1852)
The Harris Poll of Hereos
The Harris “Hero” poll asked 2,634 American adults to name one person living or dead they consider to be a Hero. The field was wide open which no multiple choice so participants could name anyone they wanted.
According to Harris Poll, the number one hero is … (wait for it) … Barack Obama.
Jesus Christ came in second.
I’ll let that sink in.
In a nice surprise Governor Sarah Palin made it onto the list, at number 21, which is awesomely awesome considering she has only been known to the American public since August 29, 2008, which was just 6 months ago. I don’t quite understand why there are 23 names on the list, instead of a say, Top 10 list, or Top 20. Whoever ranked No. 24 got gypped.
Shockingly, Tina Fey did not make the list. [/scarcasm off]
