Summertime and the livings easy
Yea, it's been about six weeks since I've posted. My computer hard drive went down, my back is feeling better so I’m now crushing the ball again, still haven't talked with my marxist brother and have stopped all work on the porch until Fall. Final standings from the Bristol Softball League are posted and we finished third. I ended up as one of the top hitters in spite of sucking in late may/early June with my sciatica pain. An informal MVP voting is up and I’m chasing my friend TLePage.
Let’s start again with a bang: Political season is coming up and there lots of things that RI'ers need to be focused on. First, is denying the "just trust us" General Assembly's back-room deal with Harrah's for a full fledged casino. Second, is keeping Govenor Carceiri. Lastly, getting Linc Chaffee thru the primary and then defeating Sheldon "I was born to be RI's Senator" Whitehouse.
The extreme left wing bloggers, who took credit for defeating Lieberman the other day, must be exhausted. They smirked all the way up to the election saying they were going to trounce anyone who in any way supports fighting terrorism, yet could only muster a 4-point victory over “their own” kind. They worked way too hard for so little gain, and considering most have the attention span of 2-year olds, they pray (oh wait, no they don’t) the drive-by media continues to tell them how important they are or will be moving on to something a little easier than winning elections.
Here’s some great quotable stuff from Ann Coulter on what the previously mentioned primary results meant for the bloggers: “ As some of us have been trying to tell you: Democrats don't oppose the war on terrorism because they hate Bush: They hate Bush because he is fighting the war on terrorism. They would hate him for fighting terrorists even if he had a "D" after his name.” [They] dumped Joe Lieberman, an 18-year incumbent, because he supports the war on terrorism. This is the same Joe Lieberman who voted against all the Bush tax cuts, against banning same-sex marriage, against banning partial-birth abortion, against the confirmation of Judge Alito, against drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and in favor of the Kyoto accords.” Full opinion available here on her blog.
