Day 16: Before the Numbers

I started writing today before I got the numbers for Day 16. Minutephysics had a link to a fellow who has a very interesting (scary) graph of the pandemic around the world. You can view a version of the graph by clicking here. What the infographic shows is that overall the US numbers are bad...
There is ALWAYS Time for the National Anthem

There is ALWAYS Time for the National Anthem

Rule 1:  There is always time for the National Anthem.  Every event should start with a prayer followed by either the National Anthem or the Pledge of Allegiance. Corollary 1 to Rule 1:  Everyone should know the words to Star Spangled Banner’s first verse. If you don’t know the words by heart, just look below. Memorize...
The Tea Party and Tom Graves and the Continuing Resolution (Wheres Doug?)

The Tea Party and Tom Graves and the Continuing Resolution (Wheres Doug?)

Thursday, the US Congress passed the continuing resolution to keep the government funded for another 6 months.  It was called House Resolution 117.  This isn’t a real budget, its too small to be a real budget.  It is a resolution to keep wasting money at the current rate.  The Tea Party was against the resolution...

Jody’s Party of the [Slutty] People!

Well we all knew that the Democrats really know how to “get down” with all their talk about going broke buying birth control.  In case there is any doubt about what the Democratic Party stands for, take a look at the buttons being worn by the Illinois delegation to the Democratic National Convention today.  (Remember...
Republican Convention Better Live?

Republican Convention Better Live?

I have to admit an almost complete lack of interest in the RNC this year.   No doubt like hockey, soccer and lacrosse, it is a sport you have to see in person to really “get.”  Ironic that the RNC chose enemy controlled territory to hold the Convention.  Another example of Republicans missing the obvious....
Nobody Said Democrats Weren't Nice--they are Just Wrong

Nobody Said Democrats Weren’t Nice–they are Just Wrong

Having been practicing in Gainesville for a long time, I know one thing for sure:  I’m a minority within a minority–a Republican lawyer.  In Gainesville, almost all of the lawyers are Yellow Dog Democrats (who have to be Blue Dog Democrats because there are no more Democrats to vote for).  Jody Cooley is no exception...

Collins Send out RoboCalls Against Zoller on Social Issues (audio)

Just got this on my voice mail from the Collins camp.  To go this negative in this way makes me think that the poll numbers are bad for Doug and its now “no holds barred.”  Georgian’s don’t like this kind of negative attack ad, however.  And this is all the audio that I received, so...
