So I had a mini vacation for the last few days, spending time with some of the family. Good times. Now I am trying to catch up on what has been going on. Meanwhile Left Coast Rebel has written a fantastic post titled 9 Simple Truths; house of card crumbles and Opus#6 from MAinfo, and BNGFan on The Right Stuff have reposted it on each of their sites as well. Excellent post; I think it says it all, a nice summation of our “platform.” Here is the lead in:
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.
You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatreds.
You cannot establish security on borrowed money.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away a man's initiative and independence.
You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves

BlackandGoldFan on her blog, The Right Stuff , had a post regarding naming porta potties after the politician of your choice. Now Why Didn’t I THINK of that? When you take a Frank, don’t forget to wipe your Pelosi! A Fantastic Idea: Don't Flush U.S. campaign.

The Walpin Scandal is not going away and it shouldn’t. That is some bogus BS if I have ever heard it.
