How about that public access television?! Emmy winning stuff, man.
Mike Huckabee’s new book is coming out on Tuesday. Do the Right Thing is subtitled “Inside the Movement That’s Brininging Common Sense Back to America” and tells the story of how the former Arkansas governor went from being a folksy longshot to the man responsible for giving us John McCain, Republican Presidential Nominee.
Happened to catch the cinematic classic, Hook, this morning on TBS. That scene where the multi hair-hued mermaids are giving Peter mouth to mouth has always disturbed me. Dustin Hoffman’s Captain James Hook is an empire though. You almost have to pull for the guy to win the final just because of the epic nature of his verbage and being.
Newsweek passes along this golden nugget in their recent special edition ode to Obama:
…Bill Clinton perfectly understood why Obama saw a golden, possibly once-in-a-lifetime, opportunity. The former president believed that the mainstream press, whose liberal guilt Clinton understood and had exploited from time to time, would act as Obama’s personal chauffeur on the long journey ahead. “If somebody pulled up a Rolls-Royce to me and said, ‘Get in’,” Clinton liked to say, with admiration, and maybe a little envy, “I’d get in, too.”
The new episode of Desperate Housewives this evening is billed as the biggest of the season. And that is really saying something.
Sarah Palin, on Wolf Blitzgreig’s Late Edition, now has taken to wearing bling. She has donned a huge “Alaska” brooch to her tunic. She also hasn’t made up her mind yet about whether Comrade Pelosi and the gang on the hill should bail out the car producing hosers in Detroit.
There is absolutely no way I could hold my body up with my fingertips grabbing a precipitous ledge. At least I know.
Today’s Coleman’s lead over Franken stands at 206 votes. This is becoming the political equivalent of “The Song that Never Ends” from Lambchop’s Play Along.
Senator Jim Demint is saying Uncle John betrayed Republican principles during the campaign. He cites his support of the original bailout deal as the “last nail in the coffin” but also mentions his immigration refom ideas and tree embracing tendancies in the senate as further proof that he may not have been a wise pick. That was plucky.
Another McCain note – I stumbled upon this letter to the editor of the Minot Daily News today. If I understand the sentence structure correctly, this gentleman not only thinks John McCain is a better orator than Barack Obama, but believes he is the best public speaker in the country. Additionally, he thinks McCain’s loss was the greatest political comeback in history. Gotta admit, that exhibits a good deal more gutsy-ness than Senator Demint.

I have just watched Huckabee talk about his book and what went wrong with the republican campaign. He made the point that government in its best form is “self-governance.” If people “do the right thing” morally and ethically there really isn’t a need for an outside government at all. Clearly it is idealistic to think that everyone will do this, so government is needed in some capacity. However, with the increases in power under Bush’s administration and the increases that will surely happen under Obama how can we stop and reverse this process? People simultaneously want government to be the big brother, protecting them from bullies, looking out for their welfare, and to leave them well enough alone: no racial profiling, no wiretapping, no numbers tattooed on their foreheads. What people really don’t want to do is to take responsibility upon themselves and do the right thing.
So…whats the point? If you value freedom, do the right thing.
