Thank Allah
there is other people in this great, bed-wetting nation who don't want that psycho president of Iran to come into our country.
Air America Crashes
Don't count on The New York Times to report this one.
In all honesty, I didn't think these guys would make it for as long as they did, so good for them. But seriously, isn't it awful that, at a time when BOTH houses and the presidency are occupied by Republicans, and with public anger against Washington at near all-time highs, this network still couldn't get ratings?
Many on the left will now cry that there's nothing to "balance out" the views of Rush, Hannity or Fox News. They're right, so long as you don't count CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, PBS, Bill Maher, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Saturday Night Live, The LA Times, The New York Times, The Washington Post, just about any movie Hollywood makes, and just about all University campuses.

Declining Greed?
Gas prices are down nearly a third from their peak in early August. I guess this means the big evil oil executives are 33% less greedy than they were 6 weeks ago.
19 Reasons Not To Vote For Jack Kingston
A few months ago there were 19 amendments proposed before the House floor that would have elimated pork projects from various appropriation bills. Guess who voted against all 19? Our so-called conservative congressman (you can check out how all 435 members voted here).
Now I've worked for this guy, and he's a nice guy. Everyone knows that. But then again, it's his job to be nice, or else he wouldn't be in power. Saying you really like your congressman simply because he's a nice guy is like saying you really like the girl at McDonald's because she gives you hamburgers when you give her money.
Kingston is also a staunch defender of the War or Terror. But guess what, that's not hard to do in a red state. This is the equivalent of saying you support Sonny Perdue because he's a staunch defender of the Georgia Bulldogs.
It's time Kingston put his money where his mouth is and start voting against massive pork projects and farm subsidies. Please stop taking our money and spending it on useless stuff like new CAT bus stations that no one will use, or on extravagant subsidies for inefficient farmers who can't compete in the marketplace. Thanks for giving me that nice little line I can use on future resumes, but you're not getting my vote in 2 months.
I know you like to speak at Clan Na Erin breakfasts, Gannam Day, BC alumni luncheons, and you like to act all funny and crazy and nice in the Beach Bum parade, but how about you be even nicer by doing your job and cutting wasteful federal spending?

Newsmakers: Stephen Leonard Edition
On Sunday, our very own Stephen Leonard made it into the newsmakers section of the Savannah paper. They decided to cut out the part about how Stephen, even with his new comfortable professional salary, continues to sneak flasks into bars, full of liquor that's not even his.

More on Stem Cells
A recent Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll asked the following:
I think the reason for this is because this poll does a poor job of specifying exactly what Mr. Bush vetoed (it makes no reference to the fact that the veto applies only to funding for embryonic stem cell lines, and that Bush fully supports funding for adult stem cell research). It also makes no real attempt to bring forth the actual reasons why he's vetoed it, and to gauge whether or not Americans agree with those specific reasons. Instead, it simply pits the generic term of "research" against "veto," and leaves the reader to assume that Bush must just simply be against progress because he's a bible-thumping Methodist or something.
So let's say we slightly changed the words of this poll to read as follows:
"Recently, President Bush vetoed a bill which would have expanded federal funding for stem cell research. Do you favor or oppose his decision not to expand funding for this?"The results are no surprise. Only 31% are in favor, while 63% oppose the veto. If I was an average Joe Blow who had little knowledge about this issue, knowing only that it was some type of important research or progress that was being stymied by Bush, I'd easily oppose his decision. "Stupid fundamentalist. Why does he always let arcane moral beliefs stand in the way of progress?"

This research could lead to cures for some diseases but requires the destruction of human embryos, and could thus lead to the harvesting of many new embryos solely for the purpose of their destruction. Do you favor or oppose his decision not to expand funding for this?"Obviously I've skewed the language in my favor a bit, but I wonder if we'd get different results? Something tells me we would.

Beat Jenkins!
This one could be a lot closer than I previously predicted. Don't get me wrong, I hope the Cadets surprise everyone and run up the score, but in all seriousness, if the Warriors have ever had chance of beating BC in the last 16 years, tonight's their night.
All you rabid fans of Cadet Nation who aren't able to make this game, all 3 of you, can check Will's live audio updates over at BC Gottum.

R.I.P. Erk
Erk Russell passed away today while driving his car due to an apparent stroke or heart attack. He made Georgia Southern football, but originally gained notoriety as UGA's defensive coordinator. He will be missed.
Vox Populi: Gems of the Week
The Voxians never cease to supply me with fodder for my little column here. Here’s this weeks batch.
Dishonorable Mention:
"Hey CBS, how about teams of Christians, Jews and Muslims for the next Survivor?"
- It’s already going on, has been for years. Episodes are airing daily. Watch the news.
Third Runner-up:
"Let's forget about the cigarette butts and please get the criminal butts."
- What a cute and clever turn of phrase. Good for you. Criminal butts… you must be Santa Claus because you SLEIGH me! Pun intended.
Second Runner-up:
"Dodge ball is the dumbest game. Getting hit by a ball is no fun. Some kids break a bone because of dodge ball. I wish orthopedists would speak up about injuries caused in this game."
- Dodgeball is a game in the purest form. Two teams. Balls. If you get hit, you’re out. What’s so unfair? Of course getting hit is no fun. That’s why you DODGE the ball. Pansy.
First Runner-up:
"I purchased regular gas with my credit card in north Georgia for $2.49 a gallon. It was $2.82 for regular in Savannah. I would like for the Savannah service station owners to explain this difference."
- It wouldn’t be Vox Populi without CONSTANT complaints about gas prices. Anyway, retard, the price difference probably has something to do with the fact that there are a lot more motorists here in Savannah than there were in whatever hick-ass North Georgia town you were visiting. More motorists mean higher demand for fuel. Higher demand means higher prices. If price didn’t increase with demand, a shortage would eventually occur. Get a clue. Or a high school diploma.
And your Gem of the Week…
"If you want to end the Iraq war quickly and efficiently, let's put Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Jack Kingston, Saxby Chambliss, Johnny Isakson and the rest of the chicken hawks on the front lines and bring our brave soldiers home. If they want a war, let them fight a war."
- Six men and some birds could not win a military engagement. It’s not their job. This is why we have armed forces.
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS.

Newt Gingrich
( I apologize for the length of the post, but I think it is important.)
I don't know about anyone else out there, but I have always liked Newt. He is one of the better conservative-thinkers in this time of "RINOs" (Republicans In Name Only). He has come up with 11 things republicans must come out and stand for to win the upcoming election and I have to say, like in 1994 with the Contract With America, Newt is pretty much dead-on:
1. Make English the Official Language of Government. The House should pass a bill making English the official language of government, abolishing multilingual ballots and reaffirming that new citizens should be required to pass a test on American history in English.
2. Control the Borders. The House should pass a narrowly focused bill to ensure that the United States can control the border. The current Senate bill is a disaster. It is impossible to pass a "comprehensive" immigration bill in the next two months. The American people overwhelmingly want the borders controlled and every act of terrorism reminds us that having the borders uncontrolled makes us more vulnerable to attack. The House should immediately pass a border-control bill and conservative Republican senators should move every day to bring it up in the Senate. Let Democrats and elitist Republicans block controlling the border and make that a referendum test for Election Day.
3. Keep God in the Pledge. Congress should take two steps to preserve the right to say "one nation under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance, a right which is supported by 91% of all Americans. The American people feel deeply that our Declaration of Independence is correct in saying that each of us is endowed by our Creator with inalienable rights. Beginning with the Supreme Court's 1963 decision outlawing school prayer, the courts have waged a 43-year assault on the core values of American liberty. It is time to return to a balanced Constitutional system. There is no Constitutional case for five lawyers on the court being a floating majority for a permanent Constitutional Convention.
The American people would rally to the elected branches' taking steps to rebalance the Constitution. First, the Congress should pass a bill suspending the recent federal district court decision in California outlawing the words "one nation under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance. Second, the House should pass a law blocking the Supreme Court from reviewing the constitutionality of the Pledge of Allegiance (a power of the House expressly granted in the Constitution).
4. Require a Voter ID Card.
5. Repeal the Death Tax, for Good. The American people have consistently supported the total repeal of the death tax and the House should simply pass it once a week and attach it to various Senate bills to force the Senate to deal with it again and again. Let liberals explain why they oppose something that more than 70% of the country favors.
6. Restore Property Rights. The American people are deeply opposed to local politicians' being able to seize a citizen's home or business. The Supreme Court's Kelo decision on eminent domain is one of the most unpopular in recent years and is also one of the most dangerous. Anyone who knows the history of local government corruption in America knows it will not be long before some corrupt developers engage some corrupt politicians and this power is exploited at the cost of most Americans. Members of the Black Caucus have been among the most vocal in pointing out that it is poor people who will be the most victimized so rich developers and greedy politicians can make the money off their homes and businesses. The House should pass a powerful bill returning the constitutional law to the pre-Kelo rules and blocking the Supreme Court from reviewing it.
7. Achieve Sustainable Energy Independence. The country is eager for a straightforward new energy strategy for national security, environmental and economic reasons. The combination of $3 gasoline, watching Iran, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia and Russia get more of our money, and concerns about the environment come together to require real change. The House should meet that need. Starting with Rep. Jim Nussle's (R-Iowa) bill on renewable fuels, adding to it clean nuclear power using new technologies that are safe and produce little waste, developing more clean coal solutions, investing in a conversion to a hydrogen economy, incentivizing conservation, providing tax credits so the auto industry can invest in the new technology and new manufacturing equipment needed to produce revolutionary new vehicles, creating the tax incentives to build the distribution system for biofuels, hybrids, and hydrogen, providing deeper tax incentives for radically better cars (imagine a substantial tax credit for cars exceeding 200 miles to the gallon of petroleum through a combination of E-85 or biodiesel, hybrid use of electricity and hydrogen), and a bill to create state flexibility in exploring off shore with a 50% split in revenue so state legislatures and governors would have an incentive to develop environmentally sound methods of exploration and production.
8. Control Spending and Balance the Budget. The House should pass new budget legislation to control spending, leading to a balanced budget in seven years (the length of time we gave ourselves in the Contract with America and which led to the first four balanced budgets since the 1920s), with special focus on programs liberals will fight to increase spending.
9. Tie Education Funding to Teacher Accountability. A major result of the No Child Left Behind legislation has been the clear revelation that a number of schools systems are crippling and destroying children. When the Detroit school system only graduates 21% of entering freshman on time, it is clear the children are being cheated. The American people strongly support reforms designed to save the children. The first step would be to insist that federal funds only go to school systems which require teacher competency and accountability. A clear choice between those who want to save the children and those who want to save the bureaucrats would mobilize the country in favor of dramatic education reform.
10. Defend America From the Irreconcilable Wing of Islam. Terrorism is a real threat. Congress should hold hearings on the recent terror activities in Canada, the United Kingdom and Morocco. The House should move bills that strengthen our security from terrorists with increased powers for surveillance, an overruling of the disastrous Hamdan decision and a series of other steps.
11. Focus on Iran and North Korea. The American people are very prepared to believe we face extraordinary threats from a nuclear North Korea and an Iranian regime actively seeking to develop nuclear weapons. Any actions in Iraq need to be recast in terms of their impact on Iran. A weak America in Iraq will be unable to stop Iran. Stopping Iran is potentially literally a matter of life and death. Congress should hold hearings on the scale of the Iranian and North Korean threat, the statements of their key leaders and the requirements for action to replace these dictatorships before they succeed in killing millions of Americans. The Santorum Iranian democracy bill should be forced out of the Senate in the context of these threats. Everything about Iraq should be debated within this larger and much more dangerous context

One more reason to hate Paula Deen.
Mourners will gather at Finnegans Wake (formerly O'Connell's) on September 16th to pay their last respects to one of downtown's great watering holes. Paula Deen is expanding The Lady & Sons into the space currently occupied by the bar. What a skank.
Here's the article on SavannahNow.

With Labor Day over with, election season is now officially in full swing, and you know what that means: even more incessant political rants from yours truly on stuff you don't care about. For now though, check out these trendy Reagan desktop wallpapers, courtesy of the Club for Growth. A must for the home or office computer desktop this Fall. Get yours here.
Adam Smith Ties!

Audioblogger
Blogger nation just got a lot better! This service allows you to call a number from any phone and record an mp3 file that is posted to your blog. I will use this on BC Gottum to give live updates of BC games for those who can't make it.
What's the Word of the Week?
Friday night BC squares off against the Warriors of Jenkins. Judging from the Cadets' performance against a larger Savannah High squad, this shouldn't be too much of a contest (it should be noted, however, that Beach had little trouble with the Blue Jackets this past weekend).
Hopefully we'll have a good turnout. Just about everybody I know will be there, except for Ryan of course, who, as usual, planned on coming but now has to have band practice.
You can also count on Jenkins' fans, all 23 of them, to show up and make some noise as well. Not bad for a school with an enrollment of only 1,500 people.
Anyway, I know this is usually Will's jurisdiction, but here's my prediction:
BC - 28, Jenkins - 10
Go Cadets.

Vox Populi: Gems of the Week
This week provided an absolute gold mine of stupid remarks. Here you go, folks; your Gems of the Week:
Dishonorable Mention:
"Are you ever going to cut the weeds on Chatham Parkway? What an eyesore."
- What a stupid thing to complain about. It’s the Chatham Parkway, not Rodeo Drive. It’s going to have weeds. I just had to mention this one, but you’ll get no prize. I’m sure you’ll complain about that too.
Third Runner-up:
"Go back to rationing gasoline and neighborhood schools. It would help us and hurt the big gasoline companies."
- Again with the gas prices. If gas is just too expensive for you, take the bus. You can get a weekly CAT Card for $12 or a monthly CAT Pass for $48. Just shut up about gas prices. No one is forcing you to drive.
Second Runner-up:
"Pedestrians have the right of way in the state of Georgia."
- That may be true, but you go ahead and step out onto Whitaker, Drayton, or Bay Street without looking and see what happens. It’s like my Dad once said, “You can be dead right.”
First Runner-up:
"What are we going to do about school nutrition? Every year it is the same thing and I feel sorry for the obese kids."
- Well, for starters, you could pack your little porker a lunch. Everything served in cafeterias is fried because it’s cheap and easy to make. Just fix him a sandwich and hold the mayo, ranch dressing, buffalo sauce and marinara. That’s why your kid is fat in the first place.
And your Gem of the Week:
"The best way to help the schools is to outlaw all private schools and make all children go to public schools."
- You must be retarded. Or you’re a communist. If everyone were forced to go to public schools, what incentive would the public schools have to provide a quality education? There would be no private schools to force public schools to keep up. This would ultimately lead to having even more dumb people around like you.
