Odds and Ends

Summer's always hot, so global warming is a lie. It's true, I read it on a blog. Here's news...

Some more of that compassionate conservatism from The Decider: "President Bush said Thursday concern should be shown those who've lost their homes but it's not the federal government's job to bail them out."

It is, however, the federal government's job to dole out corporate welfare, apparently. This news item appeared the day before the one above... "President Bush said Wednesday that he is considering a fresh plan to cut tax rates for U.S. corporations to make them more competitive around the world."

Bushie, maybe you and your congressional allies need to listen to Mike Huckabee's advice.

Speaking of Huckabee, he came in second in the Iowa straw poll, a symbolic event that brings political pundits to wax poetic about those crazy corn farming folks. Mitt Romney spent his way to first place.

Romney, of course, wants you to know that he 'misspoke' when he compared his sons' campaign efforts to military service. Rudy Guiliani similarly 'misspoke' last week. Must be something in the water.

Finally, the Republican YouTube debate is back from limbo, with a November 28 date.
