View Article  The Wit and Wisdom of Barack Obama
SMARTER THAN YOUR AVERAGE ….?
This is my tribute to Barack Obama. It is a heart-felt piece honoring his apparent victory over Hillary Clinton. I hope it is taken as I intended – as abject sarcasm and farce.    more »

A BARACK OBAMA ABORTION PRIMER
There is another reason we need to band together to defeat Barack Obama.  He is one of the most pro-abortion candidates we’ve ever seen.  There are some terrifying new developments in assisted suicide in California.  Considering Obama’s view on partial birth abortion and his plans to socialize medicine it has terrifying implications for everyone who isn’t absolutely perfect, young, healthy, and beautiful.  It is literally a license to kill.

MAYBE NOT WHAT YOU THINK

The first thing we need is a Hollywood face who is younger than my grandfather to help promote John McCain.  We need a rock star. Conservatives need to start treating Hispanics with respect. They are our future, hard-line conservatives are (fortunately) a dying breed.  The world is changing.  Conservatives need to change. The first thing they need to do is understand, to comprehend that in order to win, John McCain needs to move toward the center.  We all know they are incapable of rational thinking and behavior.  They are too busy being spoiled and selfish. ...   more »
View Article  GrandMommy Cat Has Been Found!
FRIDAY, MAY 30

The current theory is something has terrified the cats.  Barbara found GrandMommy Cat today, behind her condo, with a new litter of kittens.  She’ll be up here with them in a few weeks.  We’ve managed to locate all but my beautiful long-haired tabby, the red and white male, and one of the tuxedos. I have a feeling two of the younger tabbies are dealing with new litters of kittens – their first.

Barbara, the condo manager, agrees with me that something happened last Thursday evening.  That was the night Rumsfeld went crazy – kept me up all ...   more »

View Article  A New Mexico Bombshell: Outgoing Domenici Endorses Wilson
SO DO I

I like Steve Pearce.  Thus said, I am furious with him for deserting his 2nd District House Seat and running against Heather Wilson for the US Senate Seat Pete Domenici is vacating.  Right now, the way things look, not only are we going to lose Wilson's Congressional District, but we could lose the 2nd.  The Dems are running another of those Blue Dogs that are decimating our House numbers.  The way it stands now, if the election were held today, Democrat Tom Udall would easily defeat either candidate.  I think in the long run, though Wilson may ...   more »

PINK POLKADOT PIGS FLY

The thing I dislike most about Barack Obama is the fact that he’s made me defend Hillary Clinton.  This is one of the last things in the world I would expect to be doing, right up there with watching pink and lavender polka-dotted pigs flying.

There are some women who consider Hillary Clinton’s run for the Rose Garden something akin to a second magical mystical mystery tour.  There are those who all her efforts mythological. To that I say Bull! Magic has nothing to do with it.  There’s nothing mythological about it.  We’re watching a very ...   more »
View Article  Why I Never Seem To Be Able To Accomplish Anything
THURSDAY, MAY 29

The following dramatic photos, taken this afternoon, will provide The Pink Flamingo reader with evidence as to why I am never able to accomplish anything!  The working conditions with which I must deal are deplorable.  My working associates annoying and are only interested in having a good time.  They have no respect for my work-space.  Nothing is sacred to them.  There is a vast inter-species rivalry that sometimes breaks out in open hostility.  I am caught in the middle.  No one should be forced to deal with conditions like this.  No cats or poodles were injured in ...   more »
View Article  Conservatives Mistreating Bush & the McClellan Betrayal
IT WILL HAUNT THEM
I think one of the saddest things I’ve seen in quite awhile is this book by Scott McClellan.  It is tragic.  There is no happy ending for this story, none.  Scott McClellan, unless he becomes a vast left wing nut, is finished.  He has betrayed people who were good and decent to him. He’s burned his Republican bridges, but from what I hear from Michael Medved’s broadcasts, his mother detests GWB and the GOP, has gone third party.  His father is a disbarred Texas attorney.

I am sick and tired of Republicans Bush-bashing.  Once again we ...   more »

CONSERVATIVES AGAINST REAGAN

''It is unlikely that the Reagan era
will prove to be the historic change
in the direction of America that we have sought.''
 Edwin J. Feulner Jr., president of the Heritage Foundation,1985.


John McCain and George W. Bush should be honored to be in such august company as Ronald Reagan.  Why?  While Reagan was President, contrary to the lies that are being told today by Richard Viguerie and World Net Daily, Viguerie and fellow conservative leaders Howard Phillips and Paul Weyrich did their very best to undermine and bully him.  Now though, they protray themselves as ...   more »

WEDNESDAY, MAY 28
 
It rained, hard, all afternoon –off and on.  The best indicator is a dip in the drive where a large puddle always forms.  If the one next to the museum is over halfway across the driveway, we’ve had a good rain.  When the smaller puddle on the other side meets – wonderful!  We had lightening and thunder.  Every time there is a clap of thunder Rumsfeld runs around the condo and yaps.  After a couple of circuits he settles down, then there’s another clap, and we’re off again, over and over as long as the storm ...   more »

THE OBAMASSIAH AND IRAQ

Once upon a time, (okay it was about 870 days or so ago) in a galaxy far, far away, Barack Obama visited Iraq.  He was there for two days.  He saw nothing that made him change his opinion that the US needed to pull out of Iraq.    The day after he left President Bush announced the “serge”.  Who would’a guessed?

What do you do when you have a person running for President of the United States  who doesn’t have either the courage to visit the our current battlefield or the inclination to do so.  ...   more »

1.  I'm still dealing with the after-effects of 3 weeks of the flu, and not having a full night's sleep in 6 weeks.  I fell asleep around 3AM this morning and slept until noon!  Wow! Sleep!

THE PINK FLAMINGO’S (local) 1ST ENDORSEMENT


I like what I see with C. Earl Greer.  Frankly, he has a decent immigration policy that is not trying to out Tancredo everyone else in the race.  The other candidates have rather extreme anti-immigration policies which are a proven loser in a general election.    I have a friend who knows Greer and thinks he’s a decent person, an appropriate Republican.  He has the monster boots of the late Joe Skeen (my friend Lisa’s dad) to fill.  I like that he isn't trying to be more conservative than the other ...   more »
View Article  What is Dominionism and How Does It Damage John McCain?
NOT SO VERY CHRISTIAN CONSERVATIVES

This is what it’s all about.
“…"All sides of the humanistic spectrum are now, in principle, demonic; communists and conservatives, anarchists and socialists, fascists and republicans," explains Rushdoony. "When someone tries to undermine the commitment to Jehovah which is fundamental to the civil order of a godly state--then that person needs to be restrained by the magistrate...those who will not acknowledge Jehovah as the ultimate authority behind the civil law code which the magistrate is enforcing would be punished and repressed,"….”

View Article  Can Bob Barr Damage John McCain?
OR IS IT SOMETHING ELSE?

Is Bob Barr’s Libertarian Party nomination the Kiss of Death for John McCain’s Presidential efforts or is the impact of his nomination greatly exaggerated?  I’m beginning to wonder if it might just be the latter.  In 2004, Libertarian candidate Michael Badnarik pulled in less than 400,000 nationally.  Granted Badnarik was a poor candidate.

That same year, Constitution Party candidate Michael Peroutka did a little less than 150,000 votes.  Ralph Nader came in third with about 465,000 votes.   In 2000 the combined candidacies of Pat Buchanan (Reform), Harry Browne (Libertarian) and Howard Phillips (Constitution) brought in ...   more »

I was quite ambitious when I started working this morning.  It did not last long. I ended up having a nice long nap- most sleep I’ve had in 6 weeks!

I’ve not done a Memorial Day spew.  I was going to, and was sidetracked by other things beyond my control.  This has been a weird weekend, full of medial traumas.  The third occurred this afternoon.  My cousin, Jim Reidhead’s leukemia has returned.  He needs a bone marrow transplant in the next couple of weeks.  Please keep him in your prayers.  My sister is feeling better today, but ...   more »

   He could still end up in some very deep do do by manipulating the International Church of Christ’s non profit status.  The Pink Flamingo has been hinting at this for some time. Grizzly Groundswell has more!
“…The fact that Obama said this after promising explicitly that no campaign-related activity would take place during his appearance at the United Church of Christ shows that he doesn’t have much of a conscience at all. Obama’s conduct reminds us of a caller to a talk radio show who, after indicating ...   more »

THE CHINA SYNDROME
I think maybe we’ve not paid enough attention to the deadly earthquake that hit China a few weeks ago.  It has the potential to be China’s Katrina, in more ways in one.  It is entirely possible this quake will end up shaking more than the earth.  It could be a pre-curser to an entire societal evolution.  One telling aspect is the way the media was allowed to cover the quake.

SUNDAY, MAY 25

The kitten was doing quite well.  Her adoptive parents went out for lunch and found her.  She had died in the litter box, trying to get out.  It was quite sad.  She was adapting.  Her diarrhea was starting to solidify. She was eating.  

The odd thing is ALL of my carport kitties have disappeared.  I’m furious.  I’m afraid something has happened to them.  I just noticed that most of the Meow Mix has been eaten.  Maybe Kay is right, there’s so much activity here, they are just scared.

Cool.  Phoenix landed with something like only a quarter degree off verticle.  Evidently everything looks to have deployed (so far) properly.

Well please enjoy your weekend.  For us it's another working day and another day I don't mind working."

It has been chilly, rainy, and overcast all day.  It is probably snowing up on the mountains.  I wish someone would explain to me where Global Warming plays into all of this.  It is nearly the first of June and the leaves have yet to completely appear on the trees here – they are still new leaves! They are still in that lacy phase.
