Suddenly Toomey

PA's got a new GOP candidate. Presidents' precedents. Call in the Marines. Plus more.

RED TAPED HEALTH
Re: Joseph P. Duggan's The Bonfire of the Hispanities:

"Well," said the vice consul dryly, "you'll just have to come back later."

That quote popped into my mind that soon we will be hearing such advice from our health care regulation bureaucrats. What fascinates me is that the people who voted for this (the Obamanization of health care) in have no idea that the bureaucrats will not care if they are dying or that they will be maimed by delay...or that the health care bureaucrats, the president, the Congress and the rest of the bureaucracy and all their families will have their own separate health care system. It is oddly ironic that the "sumthin' for nuthin'" will get them what they gave.

DEPT. OF EASY SOLUTIONS

The President can stop Somali piracy in one move. Put a half dozen US Marines on every US-flagged ship in the gulf. There aren't that many US-flagged ships. Then let the other countries selling cheap flags of convenience defend their own ships.

This is what the Marines are for. This is why we have a Military.

Oh, and Marines, shoot to kill and leave them lay.
-- M. Andreasen

Flame throwers would be my weapon of choice. One or two of those crispy zodiacs on toast posted on YouTube and presto: no pirates!

We didn't "lose" Specter, any more than we ever had Chafee to lose. Specter is a boil, not an asset. Now we need to lose Snow, Collins, Goober Graham and others.
Great damage is going to be done with or without us in our present state, so let us not further suffer the experience of failing to be cured of our faults even by disaster.
Putting all faux conservatives back in the liberal pig-pen will not have the effect of increasing the swine flu as we expect. Let them annoy each other while we right ourselves.

I wonder if when GovMotors declairs bankrupcy, will that get the Conservative talkshows out of their advertising contract with them?
