Mc Cain In Electoral Shoot-out Today in Arizona

Today they are having primary elections in five states. In Arizona you have Grandpa Mc Sane up against J. D. Hayworth. That sounds like some heiress’s third husband. Each candidate is trying to sound more conservative than the other, although both have a record of the dreaded "Moderation" rattling around in their political closets. Hayworth used to be a sports announcer but people say he wasn’t good at ther, either. Apparently Mc Cain is heavily leading in the polls. In Florida you have a lot of hotly contested senate races in both parties. Once this election is over we will know a lot more about the strength of the tea party set. Three other states having primaries today are Alaska, Oklahoma, and Vermont. Of course Republicans preach “You know that our influence in elections goes up ad voter participation goes down”. They admit it.

Chief Judge Royce Lambert of the federal DC District Court ruled yesterday that the Obama administration has to end all their embryonic stem cell testing and confine their research to adult stem cells. (all the adult stem cells hang out in bars and adult book stores) It is said that corporate pressure was brought to bear on the Court in rendering their decision. I guess we shouldn’t be surprised. Judge Lambert said he was “returning the situation to the status quo”. That’s hardly the case. This is just another area where we thought when President Obama came to power you’d see some real changes.

Randy Rhodes says they are heavily proselytizing Christianity in the military and she says it’s inappropriate. She says some people are given a choice of attending a Jesus rock band or cleaning out the barics. She talked about a “Team Jesus” group that was active and pushing in the military. She says it used to be that a Chaplin was there just for prayer and comfort but that isn’t the case any more. If you’re Jewish or Moslem you really feel out of place today. Hence the military has become sort of a Christian club.

People like Ted Olsen and Ron Paul deserve some sort of awards for standing up and being counted. Ted Olsen was an attorney in the Bush verses Gore case, but was “consistent enough” to be a “constitutional” conservative and that means to grant people certain inailable rights, like getting married to whom they choose. I may get ill but I’ll have to second the notion that this guy is a hero. It’s said that the real test of a constitutional right is to grant that right “even when it’s hard for you to do that”. Ron Paul had the personal courage to stand up and be counted on this Mosque issue, to say that he favors the Islamic community building the center and sees it as property rights, and then went on to attack the motives of the other Republicans. I wish we had more conservatives like him. The dinner bell just rang. I feel like a cigarette. Last Friday ABC saluted one of these guys who defuse bombs in Iraq. This guy who just was killed is person of the week.

In personal news I got Dr. Levy to reprint my "Seventeen Injunctions of Life" which I did for you blog readers a month ago. Metaphorically I got the head of the record company to like my sound, but convincing the record buying public is another thing. I may have hit the ball out of the park, but the crowd was so medicated on qualudes or Prozac or something they scarcely paid it notice. I'd like to know who is out there- -if anybody- - who is a regular reader. I know I need to do more to get my blogs listed on Google searches. It happens occasionally but usually I fail to use those valuable key words in the title heading, which Google counts as so important.
