Thirteen Ways of Looking at Chris Matthews (An Updated Poetic Tribute)

by Damozel | Full disclosure:  Ashamed though I am to admit it, I am---like Nora Ephron---practically in love with Chris Matthews.  This does not make me blind to his faults (with his Hillary-hatred topping my personal list), but it does impel me from time to time to compose a poetic tribute.

This one, for which I tender in advance my profoundest apologies to the late and very great Wallace Stevens,  was composed in honor of Matthews' recently announced political aspirations and their (apparent)  soon-to-be-announced deferral or retraction. 

A Right-Wing Woman's Warning: No Salvation or Tax Cuts if You Vote for Uppity Obama Instead of For Sarah Palin

by Anna Hosanna [Born.  Again.] |  I haven't had time "to post" here lately because my Son Kieran just got arrested for driving without a License and I have had to drive him "back and forth" to his "Community Service."  Anyway it's all just turned into liberal Jibber-Jabber with the other people who post here. I would never of joined this Blog if I had of known what the Others here are like, but Jesus said we are not to judge so I decided to "Turn the other Cheek."

Anyhow, I had about made up my mind to not to vote at all because I don't have time to watch all the Ads that are on the Television.  Besides, Nobody I know liked John McCain.  Even our Pastor at the Church of the Rock and Rapture wasn't sure what to do till McCain picked Sarah Palin to be his Vice President.   Today Pastor Mac Mackey sent us an e-mail telling us that we Have to Vote for McCain because of Palin.

Maureen Dowd on Sarah Palin: Fan Fic for Mean Girls (Continued)

Vice in Go-Go Boots?

Campaign Trail Fan Fic for Mean Girls (nutshell version):  John McCain's pick of a beautiful, quirky, untested, unqualified beauty queen to be his running mate has totally preempted the script I'm currently writing for a Lifetime Original Movie (in which the presidential contender chooses a beautiful, quirky, untested, unqualified columnist to be his running mate and then chokes on a pretzel, after which she becomes the true American idol.)  I am seriously displeased. 

Did he think I was going to let that go?  I'm not going to let that go.

A Right-Wing Christian Asks: If Obama Really is the Antichrist, Shouldn't We Vote for Him?

by (Mrs.) Anna Hosanna | I know that the "crazy liberals" who also post here are not going to like this post and will roll their Eyes, even Damozel who owns this site and is a Quaker (which I thought was only on Oatmeal Boxes)  is a "Liberal".  She took me to Her church once and they don't even Sing Hymns or have a Sermon, they just sit there and supposably Pray silently unless "the Spirit" moves them to speak (the spirit Must of been as Bored as I was when I was There because nobody said a Thing and I nearly Fell Asleep.)

But as a  born-again "True Believer"as well as a Christian, "I am worried" about this ad.  While "I don't usually pay any attention" to ads, as a Fan of "The Book of Revelations" and also "The Left Behind" Series, "I was shocked" when I saw this ad and then Read a Piece in Time that demonstrated that Obama might be "the Antichrist."  (I know some Conservatives call Him the "Obamamessiah" but "I do not" since that is sacrilegious.)   

This McCain ad made me think about Him (Obama) Differently:

Then:  I read this article in TIME Magazine:

A Right Wing Man's Plea: Right Wing Women, Please Stop Blogging

by John Q. Public  I've been thinking about this topic for weeks, but have hesitated to publish my views.  It is a controversial subject.  Even my powerful brothers of the far right dare not address it (though they certainly secretly think it).

These days, it is difficult to find a woman who understands what it means to be a lady.  Even Republican women, I am sorry to say---my ex-wife Judith is a tragic example--- seem to believe that they should be able to compete with men in the workplace, to hold political offices, and even to set up blog sites to offer political opinions.  It is time for women of the right to think about the example they are setting to the next generation of Republican women.  It is not a good one.

What finally pushed me over the edge was  Michelle Malkin's post about the military tribunal at Gitmo.  Michelle, please.  That is not a suitable topic for a button-cute  Republican lady and yet she has already received responses from several male right-wing bloggers that endorse her views without even a gentle hint to her that it would perhaps be best if she would stick to cheerleading and leave the heavy lifting for the men.  (Why don't more right wing blogging ladies dress up as cheerleaders, I wonder?  Or French maids? But I digress). 

A Right Wing Christian Lady's Plea to the Media: Please, No More Dog "Whistles"

Mrs. Anna Hosanna [Born-Again] | As a true "Born Again" Christian, I am not Afraid to "step up" and say "the Truth." I know what The Wall Street Journal and others who are dwelling on Barack Obama's Arrogance and  Athletic Build are secretly trying to tell Us:  Barack Obama is not an "Ordinary," or "typical," American like You and Me.  This is what I understand is called a Dog Whistle, based on this Article [though "Beware" because the Writer Melissa McEwen seems to be Some kind of a Liberal Feminist and might even be a "British Person" to Boot]:

Can White Men Dance? Oh, Yes, Ms. McArdle. YES WE CAN

Mr. J.Q. Public [So Right It's Wrong] | As the only right-winger posting at this blog, you can imagine that I suffer a great deal of intimidation.  I am almost afraid to write this, as I am afraid that Damozel will accuse me once more of being a 'concern troll' and delete my post forthwith.  Yet the subject is one that is of deep concern to me and, I believe, to most Republican men.

I was very disappointed by this piece, 'White Men Can't Dance', penned by libertarian Megan McArdle in her blog ( 'Assymetrical  'Asymmetrical Information').  She remarks that 'for the last three seasons, the show So You Think You Can Dance has tended to be very, very white by the time it gets down to brass tacks,' as if this were a bad thing.

For centuries, white men---and, I believe, white Republicans especially--- who try to dance have been discriminated against, to such an extent that 'white men can't dance'  has now become, to all intents and purposes, a self-fulfilling prophecy. 

McCain: Bringin' The Tough Love to African-Americans and the Campaign

by John Q. Public [So Right It's Wrong] | I am afraid that this post will offend my  co-bloggers, all of whom are lefties.  Well, so be it.  This is another issue I feel strongly about:  the superior power of Republican 'tough love' to repair our damaged society.

My lefty cobloggers have been roughing up John McCain all day about his campaign ad proving that Obama is indifferent to wounded troops and who---unlike John McCain, I'm sure---doesn't show up for committees.  I must beg to differ:  I liked it.  I thought it was hard-hitting, aggressive, and manly, like a sucker punch.

Democrats seem to think a campaign should be about issues.  What they fail to grasp is that issues are boring.  Look at Al Gore and John Kerry.  Why do they think almost half the country preferred Bush? 

The reason is that he had a message and he sold it:  'I'm the decider.  If you elect me, you won't have to listen to a lot of boring talk that scares you about things that make you uncomfortable, like global warming, the falling dollar, companies moving overseas and outsourcing all their American jobs, the daily violence in Iraq, the expense of health care and the lack of health care insurance. or the so-called 'housing bubble.'
