Here's a parody article by good friend (and so-so cousin...jk) James Sabata.
My favorite part:
Seventeen years ago, (Vince) admitted Wrestling was not real. In doing so, he did not have to answer to the steroid allegations. However, this time around, Vincent Kennedy McMahon realized that it was only professional wrestling being targeted. No one seems to mind that steroid use is abundant in Hockey, Football, Basketball, the LPGA, and Baseball. ... By becoming a legitimate sport, the hope is that they will no longer be targeted by Congress or anyone else asking bothersome questions.
Here's an old column from Joseph Farah in November 2000. He has a great list of who his would be in his cabinet if he were president. Ron Paul, Alan Keyes, Harry Browne, Howard Phillips... just awesome.
Who would be my secretary of state? Easy choice. Ambassador Alan Keyes. Colin Powell can't hold a candle to him.
Secretary of defense? Former Secretary of the Navy John Lehman.
Who would head the Department of Education? My wife, Elizabeth. She would dismantle that bureaucracy so fast it would make your head spin.
Department of Agriculture? Rep. Ron Paul of Texas would get the honors. His mission would be abolishing the agency as fast as possible and saving the taxpayers billions.
Department of Commerce? Harry Browne could destroy this one for me.
Department of Energy? Howard Phillips would have the mandate to eliminate this bureaucracy within the first 100 days.
Department of Health and Human Services? We'd close this one down without ever dignifying the agency with a secretary.
Department of Housing and Urban Development? Ditto this monstrosity.
Department of the Interior? I'd bring back James Watt to begin a fire sale on all federal land.
Department of Labor? Pat Buchanan. After all, he deserves an appointment for coming up with that great laugh line.
Department of Transportation? Privatize, my boy. Privatize.
Department of Veterans Affairs? Col. David Hackworth. And I would hope he would hack it.
Department of the Treasury? Anyone who would help me abolish the Internal Revenue Service, the Federal Reserve and bring back the gold standard. Any suggestions?
The Constitution Party takes a look at all of the Republican presidential candidates. Very interesting.
Here's part of what they had to say about Ron Paul:
The Constitution Party presidential candidate will be selected at its convention in the spring of 2008. We can’t say for sure what will be decided by the convention delegates, but as the party who puts principle above party loyalty, it seems that in the unlikely event that Doctor No (Paul) is able to capture the Republican nomination, we would stand behind him 100%. ... If the Grand Old Party does choose to return to its conservative ideals by supporting Congressman Paul, then there will be ample opportunity to throw our support behind him should our delegates so decide. If he does not win the GOP nomination we will have done much of the work to gain the ballot lines necessary to field a candidate who shares our values and who will govern constitutionally. That candidate could be Ron Paul should he decide to continue his race by seeking the Constitution Party nomination.
I hope the Libertarian Party makes a similar statement.
Here's an article on ESPN.com about Lex Luger and drugs in wrestling. Totally interesting. If he wrote a book I would, probably read it. Sad as it may be, Luger is the wrestler that got me interested in working out.
Fortunately, I didn't "work out" the way he did :)
Joseph Farah talks about the so-called GOP Frontrunners and how they skip debates when they fear the questions.
Great read.
Meanwhile, I have a message for the scaredy cats who aren't showing up next Monday. You know the old saying: We'll remember in November – November 2008, that is.
I'm through with supporting the lesser of two evils.
It just doesn't make any difference in the long run.
If we can't see that after two terms of George W. Bush, then we'll never be able to see it.
I want everyone to look at this picture today and remember six years ago and maybe for just one day put a stop to partisanship nonsense and pray for what's actually best for our country, her people, and all of our troops overseas.
"The government failed miserably on 911 to protect us, despite spending trillions. So the answer was supposed to be the giant, socialist Department of Homeland Security, protecting you and me from taking our toothpaste on the airplane. I was ridiculed for saying that the airlines, which know best how to protect their property, should have been allowed to arm their pilots. But then, you and I really believe in the Second Amendment. It is not just a political slogan for us."
As much as I hate linking to a site like prisonplanet.com, it's the only site with enough sack to print the truth about Wednesday's GOP debate.
Only one vote per cellphone was allowed, therefore Hannity's contention that Ron Paul supporters were "were simply dialing in over and over again" was nothing more than a brazen lie intended to dismiss the Congressman's widespread popularity. No one at Fox News bothered to correct Hannity and no retraction was issued.
Debunkers continually claim that Paul's success in text message and internet polls is merely a result of a small group of supporters zealously "spamming" or "flooding" the polls when in fact votes are limited to one per IP address and one per cellphone number.
Such dirty tactics from Neo-Con stooge Hannity and Fox News were merely a continuation of Fox's policy to attack Ron Paul throughout the broadcast.
Despite the fact that the New Hampshire audience broke out in spontaneous wild applause at almost everything the Congressman said, Fox News deliberately boosted the microphones of the other candidates when Paul was speaking, making sure the snickers of Giuliani, Romney and the rest were clearly audible.
