Hitler, Stalin, Chavez: Negroes one and all

It's amazing what you can find out by reading columns by liberals.

For instance, I read a column by Lewis W. Diuguid, a columnist for the Kansas City Star. He wrote a piece recently where he said that "socialist" is "code word for black."

Imagine that.

"Socialist" means "Black."

Which means that Adolf Hitler, former leader of Germany's National Socialist German Worker's (Nazi) Party was Black.

And Joseph Stalin, former leader of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) was Black.

And Hugo Chavez, leader of the Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela (United Socialist Party of Venezuela), is Black.

And Barack Obama, the socialist who is the Democratic Party nominee for President of the United States, is Black. Oh, wait. That I knew.

Still, somebody needs to recall a bunch of history textbooks and fix those pictures.

Thank you, Mr. Diuguid, for setting us all straight.

How Obama will make the U.S. safer

Today, the U.S is at war: Under Obama's leadership, the U.S. will be at peace: Vote wisely.

Proof Obama is NOT a Muslim!

Frank J. posted proof that Obama is a Muslim. Hate to say it, but I have proof to the contrary:

Fish Heads

Remember the song Fish Heads? Sure you do: But... there are a couple of things about Fish Heads you might not know. One is who Barnes and Barnes, the credited artist of the song, really is. They are Robert Haimer and Bill Mumy, two childhood friends. And, if the name Bill Mumy seems familiar, well, it should. That is the same Bill Mumy that appeared on Lost In Space. Yes, he played Will Robinson. The other thing about fish heads you might not know? They seem to be eligible to vote in Illinois, Barack Obama's home state. Yes, a dead goldfish was sent voter's registration information. My favorite line in the story?

"There was no fraud involved," said Nudelman, a Democrat who supports Barack Obama. "This person is a dead fish."

Just like Barack Obama.

There's a test coming up

According to someone who the Democrats consider an expert on foreign policy, there's a test coming up. Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) told a group of supporters that if Obama's elected, a major international crisis will develop:

"Mark my words," the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of his two Seattle fundraisers Sunday. "It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don't remember anything else I said. Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy."

The amazing thing is, those of us on the right have been saying this for months. And now, it seems, Joe Biden agrees with us. But here's where we differ. We think that when a crisis hits ... when that 3:00 AM phone call comes ... there should be somebody in the White House who can respond, and respond decisively. The left thinks there should be somebody who votes "present." Yeah, "present." That'll strike fear in the terrorists' hearts.

An iPod with a sense of humor

I like my iPod. But I like it even more now. It's got a sense of humor. Earlier today, I put the iPod on shuffle. Which means it'll shuffle the songs on the iPod (all 1,258 of them) and play them. The 10th song was "Saturday Night," by the Eagles. You may know the song. From the "Desperado" album. The lyrics end with "Whatever happened to Saturday night?" Next song up on the iPod? "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting" by Elton John. I like my iPod.

Walking for cancer research

This morning was the Tidwell Cancer Foundation's Walk and Pancake Breakfast. It was at Ashley Furniture, at Columbus Park Crossing -- a shopping center we affectionately call "Hooterville," since Hooters was one of the first businesses in the area, and because, until recently, it used to be woods. Started early, was cold, and turnout was light. But it was for a good cause, and those that did come out were enthusiastic. I wore a pink hat. And, no, I don't have any pictures of me in a pink hat. Oh, and Chris Cakes of Atlanta handled the Pancake Breakfast portion of things. My neice (Miss Columbus Teen 2009) and her mother (The Mean Sister) drover over last night, arriving at Casa Basil about 1:00 AM. I gave them the TiVo remote and went to bed. But, this morning, went to the fundraiser and tried to raise a little money for breast cancer research. Why not check out your local paper, pay attention to the commercials on radio and TV, and notice flyers around town? You might find out about a worthwhile fundraiser going on. You'll be cold, wet, and tired. And feel good about it.
