Tuesday Musings

Is it just me, or does the news media seem genuinely disappointed that New Orleans was not affected more by Hurricane Gustav?

What is more important, Sarah Palin's daughter being knocked up and her husband's arrest for DWI more than 20 years ago, or The Obama's close association with a known and unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayres? If you are unaware, Ayres was part of the Weather Underground, an anti-war group that bombed public buildings, including the Pentagon and NY City police headquarters. Many of his associates were killed when a bomb they were building exploded in their Greenwich Village headquarters. Many believe the bomb was destined for Fort Dix. The Weathermen also were key participants in a Robbery of a Brinks Truck in New York where several policemen were killed.

Ayers was asked in a January 2004 interview, "How do you feel about what you did? Would you do it again under similar circumstances?" He replied:

I’ve thought about this a lot. Being almost 60, it’s impossible to not have lots and lots of regrets about lots and lots of things, but the question of did we do something that was horrendous, awful? ... I don’t think so. I think what we did was to respond to a situation that was unconscionable.

Which candidates associations are scarier to you, Palin and her daughter or The Obama and the terrorist/bomber? Read the whole interview. If you are allowing these people to teach your kids at The University of Illinois, Chicago, you are a failure as a parent.

Do you think anyone in the Colt's coaching staff is staying up nights worrying about the potent Bears offense led by Kyle Orton?

The Cubs are in the middle of a three game losing streak. They are still 30+ games over .500. They have not won the World Series since 1908. Are we looking at destiny or 1969?

I could get used to 4 day work weeks.

Wouldn't it be nice if the media dug as hard at The Obamas background as they have Palin's? What do we really know about him, besides his mentors all have one common theme -- they hate America (see Bill Ayres, Rev. Wright). Maybe the media could point out that The Obama's plan for America is straight from Karl Marx' Communist Manifesto.
