Apparently former candidate and Senator Fred Thompson will be a major force behind a McCain administration’s judicial nominees, according to this article. Makes me feel a little better.

I posted on this earlier, but seriously, how egotistical can Sen. Obama get, what with making his own “presidential” seal and whatnot? Seriously, this feels like a bad political satire movie. Think “Thank You For Smoking,” only a really crappy movie about an egotistical candidate who rants about “HOPE!!!11!” and “CHANGE!!1!”, not a libertarian-leaning movie pointing out the hypocrisy of American government and the value of free choice in a free society.

Senator Chris Dodd. Former presidential hopeful for the Democratic nomination. Now under intense scrutiny after receiving a “VIP” loan from a mortgage lender, Countrywide. Did I mention this same company will benefit from legislation that Dodd is pushing? As Forrest Gump would say, that’s all I have to say about that.

Anyone in the majority in Congress even listening to Americans, or looking at the friggin’ gas price lately?!? Anyone? Why is my voice echoing as if no one’s home?

At some point, really, any point guys, are the news media and a whole lot of Americans going to realize how shallow and quite frankly full of you-know-what Barack Obama is? For crying out loud, the guy throws out the race card and simultaneously cries “racism” against Republicans who have done no such thing, pledges that he can’t disown Rev. Wright any more than he can disown the black community, then does exactly that when he realizes the connection is hurting him politically, and continuously claims that people he has known for 20 years “aren’t the people he’s known” (see: Ayers, Weather Underground, Wright, et al)?!? Come on, people!! Wake up and smell the ruse. This isn’t so much “change we can believe in,” it’s more like “empty political rhetoric we can count on!”

I received several things in the mail recently. One was a letter and “census” from the Republican National Committee. I put census in quotation marks intentionally, because it wasn’t so much of a census as it was a BS questionnaire merely validating what Republican voters expect. I made sure to write plenty of comments in the margin of the letter (stuff like, “conservative principles don’t need a new blueprint”), and on the “census” itself, and I am going to send it right back to them. Oh, and they asked for money. I pretty much told them to go pound sand in that regard.

Other things in the mail? Similar letter and “census” from the NRSC, and a letter from Sen. John McCain, including a bumper sticker. Not sure what I’m doing with the sticker yet, but I’m considering writing in that letter’s margins as well and sending it back to the campaign.

While Rome burns, Washington, D.C. inhabitants continue to play a fiddle…
