Bobby Jindal, VP?

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Friday, June 06, 2008 8:31:49 AM
Rush Limbaugh seems to think he'd be a good choice for McCain, to balance his liberal tendencies and the "age problem." " One, he's a "minority," which takes that off the table for the general election. Two, he's young, which means if McCain dies, he'll be there to preserve conservative principles.  He's a conservative in a place where conservatives don''t usually win. "Gov. Jindal has done it partly by making clear he personally embraces social conservative orthodoxies such as opposition to abortion and gay marriage--but soft-pedaling them in public. While running for governor in 2007 (he narrowly lost an earlier bid for the office in 2003), he rarely raised such hot-button issues on the stump. Instead, he campaigned largely on free-market themes such as cutting taxes to stimulate growth, and a populist pledge, honed from his days as a state and federal technocrat, to solve problems. But that strategy may be hard to pull off in the glare of a national candidacy when his views on issues such as abortion and religion in schools would certainly be meticulously examined. The Louisiana governor, who converted to Catholicism from Hinduism in college, is against abortion in nearly all circumstances and supports teaching "intelligent design" in public schools. As a congressman, he voted to build a fence at the Mexico border." I remember a time when his Catholicism would have caused problems, but after JFK, that's not a problem. If he's a REAL conservative, I'd go along with him, too. (Wall Street Journal)

Climate Insanity

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Friday, June 06, 2008 8:29:32 AM
I shudder every time I see a supposed "conservative Republican" sitting beside a "dedicated liberal" touting "climate change." That tells me that Republican has "bought the BS" the liberals are putting out about that nonexistent "problem," "climate change." (They stopped calling it "global warming" because it became obvious that the planet was COOLING, not warming, and they needed to maintain their façade.  But when I see somebody like Newt Gingrich, who up to now I've respected, sitting on a couch with Nancy Pelosi, I lost all confidence in his ability to make a good decision about anything. The same is true when I see "race-baiter" Al Sharpton and Rev. Pat Robertson together. Not that I ever did have any respect for Robertson. This just makes me dismiss anything he says more. I feel sorry for Newt, but not for Robertson. I predict that you'll see more of this, as the con-men in the Democrat Party con more and more otherwise intelligent people into believing their lies.

Still Trying to Run Things

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Friday, June 06, 2008 8:27:21 AM
The Islamic terrorists are still laughing at us, even in the face of their own deaths at our hands. Khalid Sheik Mohammed, on trial for his life in Cuba for masterminding 9/11, now looks like an "imitation Osama" with his long beard, white robes and glasses. He even criticized the artist who drew his picture, saying "my nose is too big." But maybe it IS "too big, and the artist faithfully captured it. I prefer the picture of him in his T-shirt, unshaven, dirty, and hairy that was shown when he was first arrested to the image he has carefully cultivated in the five years of his incarceration. He should be forced to shave off that ugly beard and wear the uniform of a common criminal, that Day-Glo orange jump suit other prisoners have to wear in court so he will not be able to maintain his unearned dignity. He says he wants to die, and that wish I think we should grant him forthwith. Then maybe he'll never be able to kill any more innocent people. (Free Internet Press)

We've Been Noticed

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Thursday, June 05, 2008 3:45:03 PM
KNUS News Talk Radio in Denver has, on May 28, named this blog to their list of the "Top Ten Colorado Blogs." The notation is in the "710 KNUS Denver Community" section, below the radio schedule, on the left. Maybe the release of my new book, "What's WRONG in America" had something to do with it, since they are on my publisher's press release list. I hope they soon want to know more about the book.

Let Him Become A "Martyr"

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Thursday, June 05, 2008 3:41:14 PM
Khalid Shaikh Muhammad, one of the principal architects of 9/11 (proudly admitted), wants to be "put to death" so he can become a "martyr." I say give him his wish. Kill him as quickly and painfully as possible, as he has done to many of his victims. I just don't understand people who are "concerned" over the treatment of such people. They don't deserve "concern," and would, if allowed, murder their defenders. People like Muhammed are in our society, but they don't command the people and resources he did, so they just go about doing things to frighten people and finally commit an atrocity they usually do not survive. Seung Hui Cho was one such person, and he murdered 23 people at Virginia Tech. Clayton Breeding murdered a 19-year-old bride soon after being released from a mental institution; Herman Duker shot a milkman to death and was later released, inflicted on an unsuspecting public, when the governor commuted his death sentence,. Within hours he had stabbed an eight-year-old girl on a bicycle to death, an act for which he was hanged. That governor has this child's blood on his hands. What if any one of these people had been able to command other such warped personalities, as did Muhammad? The best way to handle Muhammed is to give him his wish. Then we'll be done with him and be able to turn our attention to other psychopaths who command other psychopaths. (The Guardian)

Hillary "Suspends" Campaign

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Thursday, June 05, 2008 3:31:45 PM
Have you noticed nobody just "pulls out" of a presidential campaign any more? They just "suspend" their campaign. That lets them keep control of their delegates and have the power to dictate many things that happen at the convention. Sometimes that involves the VP nomination. Other times it means they get to speak at convention. Other times it just means they have more power in "backroom" sessions where party high-muckety-mucks decide what THEY THINK is "good for us.

Always A "Pioneer"

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Thursday, June 05, 2008 3:24:47 PM
I've been a "pioneer" in many things, one of which is "desktop publishing," which I was doing before it even had a name. I published several different tabloid newspapers back when typesetting was VERY expensive and I had to use an "executive typewriter" like an IBM Selectric® and type my copy twice: once on the left to determine how many spaces to leave to get "justified copy" (even margins on both ends), then have it Photostatted down to a 2-1/4" column width, which I'd "paste up" in my "flats" as camera-ready copy. When Macintosh came out with the first DTP software, I thought I had died and gone to heaven, it made my job so much easier. I immediately went to a "service bureau" and rented time on a Mac to do my copy. Soon after, I owned only the second such software platform in existence that year, the Atari ST, and started a typesetting business, able to charge prices so low in comparison to "normal" typesetting charges at the time that many either got their own DTP software and lowered their prices, or went out of business. I led the nation in sales of a carbon paper replacement that obsoleted carbon paper before that. Today, I'm yet again a "pioneer" this time in publishing, my new book being published in "print-on-demand" form, making it unnecessary for bookstores to carry lots of copies (unless they wanted to) with the book available (so far) only on the Internet through Barnes & Noble and Amazon, among others (including three in Norway), but not yet (maybe never) available on a bookstore shelf. I expect this new system to obsolete new bookstores as we know them or make them "change their ways" significantly, as the Mac did "cold" typesetting and Copyfax did standard carbon paper.
