I wasn’t aware of this previously, but according to the recovery.gov website that tracks the spending of stimulus funds, Minnesota has a 00th Congressional District.  I’m not aware that anyone else has declared their candidacy so I am.  I’m officially running for US Representative for Minnesota’s 00th Congressional District.  I’d like to start by announcing that I support increase funding for cemeteries because I assume the dead are one of the bigger voting blocks for this Congressional District.

Since I’ll presumably be busy running for this newly announced office, you’ll have to satisfy yourself with some linkiness.

There is something else to the polls besides what they say.  If you look at them together they tell a hell of a story.  Originally only Rasmussen had Obama below 50%.  Then Quinnipiac did and then Gallup did.  Here is why that’s interesting and meaningful.  Rasmussen uses likely voters in it’s polls, making it the most accurate election-wise.  Quinnipiac uses registered voters, less accurate and tends to favor Democrats.  Gallup and others use adults, which heavily favors Democrats and is virtually meaningless to predict what an election will say.  Which means that Obama was already doing poorly where it counted.  The cancer has spread amongst independents and now he’s doing poorly even by measures where he should be heavily favored.   This anti-Obama sentiment is here to stay and it’s spread to independents and moderate Democrats.  Good luck in 2010 Dems.

Yet another reason why I don’t give to political parties, only candidates.  Quite frequently the people that run parties are incompetent boobs.  Here is another fumble by the King Boob.

The Lacey Act is a great example of government overreach gone insane.  This act alone makes virtually anything you do a federal crime.  Now thanks to an overlooking passage in the last Farm Bill, I think I can safely say we are ALL felons according to the law….unless, of course, you own nothing that is made of wood.

About himself, the president speaks loudly. For America, he carries a small twig.

No wonder the global warming scare mongers keep claiming the science is settled.  It’s easy for that to be the case when you manufacture all the science.  Here’s a pretty good index into some of the more interesting (damning) emails.

Surprise, Al Gore sucks at science.

Amazing.  Democrats insist we treat illegal aliens just like citizens, granting them all the benefits of that status.  Apparently the exception to that is paying taxes, as Reid’s health care bill penalizes citizens with additional taxes, but illegal aliens are specifically exempt from paying health care taxes.

Wow, this ACORN thing isn’t over.  Now Breitbart has hold of a big stack of papers that they apparently dumped in a public dumpster right before the Attorney General visited their office.  Plus apparently there are more videos of ACORN people doesn’t naughty things….and if Eric Holder doesn’t investigate, Breitbart will release them right before the election.  I don’t think there is enough popcorn in the world to handle this political theater.

Obama is breaking the middle class tax pledge….again.

The law of unintended side effects….this healthcare boondoggle is going to make something as pure and altruistic as blood donation very expensive.

It’s not going to be abortion, or deficit spending or the public option that kills healthcare.  It’s going to be the cuts to Medicare that will invoke the wrath of seniors and kill this bill.

Apparently Democrats have already forgotten that they spent the last eight years waving pictures of Hitler around and calling our President Chimpy McBushHitler

Palin now has a higher favorability rating that Obama.

So when a ship was unarmed it got hijacked by pirates.  When they armed the ship and pirates tried the second time they were repelled.  Why aren’t we arming ships again?? I mean besides pansy-assed Europeans wetting themselves at the idea of firearms.

Rep. Cleaver wants today to be complaint-free Wednesday.  Come on Cleaver, with this Congress if I took a day off of complaining

Five Terrible Cruelties of Liberalism

90,489 jobs not really created “or saved” by the stimulus

FoxNews is the most balanced of the networks, here’s the data to support.

Wow, you know things are bad when even the communists in China are concerned about the breadth of Obama’s socialistic ideas.

Obama is STILL blaming Bush for the state of the country….wonder how long that will last….two years? Four? Ten?  Never realized Bush, a mere mortal, was that all-powerful….I guess I would have thought a Messiah could top that.

And you thought Janet Reno was funny on the dance floor.

The Large Hadron Collidor is….well, colliding.  World still hasn’t ended.

Is your Hope fading?? Take what little Change you have left and buy this T-shirt.

Chicago politicians prove that gun control laws are only for the little people (you and me), but apparently don’t apply to politicians.  Their reason is they need them for “self defense”.  Apparently the rest of us were going to use them for door stops.
