Minnesota Votes

Here are some of the challenged ballots from the very tight Senate race between Norm Coleman and Al Franken.

It really is a shame that the Lizard People didn't have the funds or organization to get their message out. Maybe we wouldn't have this mess.

a note from "Real" America

So recently there has been talk about the "Real" America and the "Real" Virginia and so on.

So today I am going to step up and tell you something about what is real and not real. I don't care who it upsets. I don't care what your views are I am going to declare it loud and proud.

REAL CHILI DOES NOT HAVE BEANS.

There, I said. And I'm not going to do some back peddling announcement on CNN to try please those who put beans in their chili that I didn't really mean it. I said it and I mean it.

And for heavens sake, it sure as heck isn't served over spaghetti.

Here in "Real" America we call that spaghetti sauce.

Only saw part of the debate last night. This pretty much sums it up.

Oh, the political pundits: UPDATED

UPDATE: Viacom doesn't like Youtube, so they pulled the video. I added the one directly from The Daily Show website. There was one little bit edited out of the others that is in this, so the easily offended probably shouldn't watch.

I was on the treadmill last night watching Tivoed episodes of The Daily Show when I saw this clip. It is one of the funniest things I have seen in a while.

Tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun

Stuart Shepard of Focus on the Family Action, James Dobson's political arm, asked people to pray for rain on Obama's speech in Denver.

It was a beautiful night.

Now it appears that Tropical Storm Gustav could delay the GOP convention in Minnesota The storm is not going to hit Minnesota, but something about having George Bush speaking while a hurricane hits New Orleans.

I will leave you to assign any meaning to it.



And just for the record, lest you think I hate GWB, I voted for Bush. This is not a GOP hate thing, I just don't care for religious leaders who try to turn God into some kind of parlor trick for their political agenda. Please pray for those that will potentially be effected by another possible hurricane in an already devastated region.

Are you ready for some football?

I don't usually write about sports, but for years people have been lamenting about Brett Favre's retirement. Always in vain.

This year looked to be different.

This year he made the announcement early.

He seemed confident in his decision.

The packers moved on.

But once again Mr. Favre seems to be reconsidering his retirement decision.

But this year IS different.

This year it looks like he will not be welcome back as the starter for Green Bay.

I think this could be the most entertaining possibility of Favre coming back to play for another team.
