The Stuff I Didn't Get To -- 12/31/07

Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld with caption, 'Asses of Evil'
Sending the right message


-Headline of the day-
"'Asses of Evil' buttons top seller at Iowa Dem campaign stops." Iowan Jeremy Beggun is cleaning up with the anti-Bush buttons. "We're not offering 'Asses of Evil' T-shirts," he says. "They'd sell, though."

Why didn't I find out about these before Christmas? (Raw Story)

-Tough on hypothetical crime...-
...with undefined hypothetical punishments. "I think if a doctor knowingly took the life of an unborn child for money, and that's why he was doing it, yeah, I think you would, you would find some way to sanction that doctor," said "pro-life" war supporter Mike Huckabee on NBC's Meet the Press. So, are we assume that free abortions are cool with him?

I guess so.

What "sanctions" would he impose as the champion of the unborn? "I don't know that you'd put him in prison, but there's something to me untoward about a person who has committed himself to healing people and to making people alive who would take money to take an innocent life and to make that life dead," he says. Y'know, Mike, there are a lot of innocent lives being made dead in Iraq these days. Seems to me that Jesus would have something to say about that. Got an opinion on Iraq, Mike?

Oh yeah, he wants to send more troops.

Today's GOP: Never bothered by the hobgoblin of consistency. (Washington Post)

-It's "Dr. No," not "Dr. Know"-
Get Ron Paul off the subject of the Constitution and he's total whack-job nuts -- just like any other GOP candidate. On Evolutionary Theory, Paul says he ain't so much a fan. One of Paul's biggest boosters, Reason magazine, puts up the evidence in a blog post titled, "Is Ron Paul an Evolution Denier? Apparently Yes," That post sums up their feelings this way, "Say it ain't so Dr. No!"

Writes Josh Harkinson for Mojo Blog, "In reality, Paul is just being himself, and Reason's surprise has more to do with the gulf between self-proclaimed Cosmopolitan Libertarians (typically secular Reason subscribers) and the more religious Paleolibertarians (acolytes of Lew Rockwell, Paul's former chief of staff)."

Here's the thing. As Paulistas never tire of pointing out, we're talking about Doctor Ron Paul. He's spent time studying the evolution of viruses and bacteria, he's seen evolution in action, and he's still convinced it doesn't happen. There's a word for that -- delusional. Make that willfully delusional.

End the year with this message of hope -- Ron Paul's squirrellier than a walnut grove, just like any other GOP candidate. (Mojo Blog)

jeremy beggun is a 36 year old , who has the potential to be class a material. Once he gets his life together and stops living on the edge he can do good if he follows his heart.just stop running from yourself man and try to settle down with the woman that loves you.
