Last Friday Post
A COUPLE OF last minute things. When I posted this AM at 3:00 about The Book of Eli, in my raving about the movie, and encouraging you to see it, I failed to mention that at times the movie is pretty violent. Call it Road Warrior meets the Bible. The violence did not bother me because of the context of the film, a post-apocalyptic world, and the bad guys are evil and the good guys are defending truth. But, it may bother you, so be warned.
MARTHA COAKLEY IS at it again. Yesterday on radio, she called Curt Schilling, he of the bloody sock fame, a ’ Yankees fan ‘. She should quit opening her mouth about those things she knows nothing about, but then, she may have nothing to say at all. And, that poll that showed Scott Brown up four points also asked about Obamacare. Now, this poll was of likely voters, which is really the only segment of the population that counts in an election year. It showed Obamacare support at 36%, opposition at 51% and that 61% of the voters think Washington can’t afford the plan. Which candidate in this race opposes Obamacare? Which one’s victory on Tuesday night would stop the bill according to Barney Frank? Maybe the voters of Massachusetts do know what they are doing.
AND, LASTLY, ANOTHER Democrat Congressman says adios. Vic Snyder of the Second District of Arkansas said he would not be running for reelection. Snyder, according to the Almanac of American Politics, was the most liberal member of the Arkansas delegation and had no GOP opponent in 2008. But, he was facing stiff GOP opposition in November. What has changed since 2008? I’ll let you think about that one for a while.

Kirby, I cannot believe that Coakley is so ignorant! If it weren’t for Curt Schilling in ‘04 (and the rest of the team of course) the Red Sox might not have made it to the World Series. Would that be called putting both feet in her mouth?

And for an added comment—–Yes for Scott Brown!

People (especially gunowners) in the state need to be told about the two gun bills working their way through the legislature. One involves gun shows and the other is concerned about semi-auto weapons. I have not read the entire blog here but maybe something has already been said about this subject. Just a reminder to let your state reps know how you feel.

I’m getting excited about Tuesday night! As I finally woke up and realized it is already 2010, I’m also looking forward to November, when we can removed some of our own worthless senators.

I hadn’t heard much about The Book of Eli and from what I saw on TV it didn’t appeal, but when Kirby recommends something I pay attention and OH MY, what a fabulous movie this is! Everybody, even you who are not crazy about violence, GO SEE THIS MOVIE!! With everything that is going on, from Haiti to politics, it is hopeful, scary and inspiring.
I’m amazed it was made, but way to go, Denzel.
I’m excited about Scott Brown in Massachusetts, and I even donated to his campaign. My one big worry is will the Democrats be able to steal the election using voter fraud?
