What do the people who died in the WTC, the Pentagon, and on Flight 93 have in common?
They can’t vote today. So I just did.
Down the Democrats. Up the Republicans.
Death to terrorists.

Democrats constantly play the race card. This makes them racists.
Democrats are against a sensible peacetime defense. This makes them warmongers.
Democrats are against a good, working intelligence service. This makes them supporters of terrorists.
Democrats want us personally disarmed. This means they want us to live in fear.
Democrats believe in welfare and social programs. This means they don’t find anything wrong with poverty.
Democrats have Al Gore, and worse, they let him talk to strangers. This means they aren’t serious.
If anyone has any more, feel free to contribute in the comments. I was just sitting here and these popped into mind as I was remembering why I plan to pull the Republican lever in the morning.

and Julia Carson is fighting for her political life in a squeaker against Brose McVey, so our lovely local Democrats are reverting to type and accusing the Republicans of racism.
To think I went to high school with our Mayor.

SBC-Yahoo! DSL has been down all morning, so the blog has also been down. (And I can’t work, either, which is even more irritating.)
I find it interesting that I didn’t have an hour’s downtime before SBC switched from Prodigy to Yahoo!, but ever since they did, I’ve been getting all kinds of downtime. Even little power glitches which should be meaningless (since I have everything UPS- and surge-protected) hose the router and necessitate a reboot.
Things are not happy here at One Man’s Vote. And SBC are going to hear about it, given that I pay the big bucks for commercial DSL.

Mark Levin over at NRO has a word up for Algore:

Obviously, Al, you have some unresolved issues. Let’s work through this together. Assume the lotus position, take a deep breath, and now begin chanting your personal mantra: “No controlling legal authority. No controlling legal authority. No controlling legal authority.”
Now that you’re relaxed, and your mind — such as it is — is clear, let’s begin. The Florida election was not in dispute. You just refused to accept the outcome. No matter how many recounts have been taken, Al, you lost. Now, repeat after me: “I, Al Gore, am a loser. I have the personality of porch furniture and the political skills of the Marx Brothers.”

Wonderful. So…Rachel Lucas-like 🙂

Posting here was kind of light today, but I was commenting over on Rachel’s blog.

And quite definitively, too. Go read it.

Take that, you scum-sucking Wahhabist terrorists.
We ought to do the same thing after we give them a fair trial and execute them.

I’m not convinced that selling vibrators in their health services dispensaries is really furthering a university’s academic mission.
I have nothing against a woman using a vibrator, mind you; that’s her business, and as the one student commented, “If people really want one, they can go online.”
Universities continue their slide into irrelevancy with this kind of idiocy.

Here we go again. Another Eagle Scout is claiming he’s an atheist and trying to keep the BSA from kicking him out.
Same old story. This has been tested in court (California Supreme Court, of all places) and upheld. Besides the fact that this “kid” is 19 years old and in two years he’ll be out as a youth member anyway.
How did this boy deal with all the years of repeating the Scout Law, whose 12th point is “A Scout is Reverent”, and the Scout Oath, which says “On my honor, I will do my best, to do my duty to God and my country, and to obey the Scout Law” and refers to keeping oneself “morally straight”?
I guess he just plain lied, didn’t he? Throw out “A Scout is Trustworthy” I guess. And if he’s not Trustworthy, I don’t see how he could be considered Loyal, either.
This is a JOINING REQUIREMENT, for crying out loud. He should have quit as soon as he realized he was an atheist. And I’m frankly amazed he got through his Eagle Board of Review.
