Save BEER PONG!

Ladies and Gentleman,

The U-Dub, 'People's Republic of Madison', and Kathleen 'Falk Lied - People Died' are outraged that a campus Walgreen's would have the audacity to sell ping pong balls and plastic cups to the student population. I am so thrilled our city and campus leaders have so much time on their hands to focus on a perceived abuse of alcohol rather than concentrating their efforts on the many unsolved murders and stabbings also occurring in the campus area.

Where should our focus be? Which poses a greater threat? 1.)Some student stumbling on the curb wobbling back to their dorm? or 2.) An innocent victim of rape or murder? Gee, let me think... First, let's compare how many students make a conscious choice to drink alcohol and compare that to how many students make a conscious choice to be murdered or raped. Would you believe several thousand to ZERO is a viable answer? Again, how many ping pong balls have directly resulted in the death of a student? I may have missed some obscure news story, but I'll guess that is a big goose egg.

Walgreen's is the pharmacy under attack and they have the most amazing business model I've ever seen. Walgreen's, please draw your line in the sand. If you cave to the pressure of the campus, I will put your awesome company in the same category as the spineless masses of retail corporate America too afraid to do what needs to be done. Instead, I encourage you to not only continue your ping pong ball sales, but sell them with caricatures of Kathleen Falk and Lori whatever the dean of students' name is. Put them on a massive rack outside the store, advertise them, make more money and increase profits for your shareholders. If there is one thing students are, it is resourceful. Should ping pong balls be banned, there's another silly gimmick waiting in the wings to be discovered and I guarantee Walgreen's will be the first to stock them for the hungry students. Capitalism -- I love it.

This is not an endorsement for binge drinking, but it is a slap in the face with reality. Not only do our youth receive an outstanding education (outstanding is a word that should be used loosely, but I'll save that for another post), they also learn how to behave as mature young adults. Part of that process, more often than not, involves learning about alcohol and how much they can or can not handle. Madison, Dane County, don't sweat the small stuff. There are bigger fish to fry.

Pakistani Competence (or is it...?)

Just a thought on the recent cross-border incursion into Pakistani territory met with a barrage of gunfire from Pakistani troops. It is no secret Pakistan has been less than forthcoming with intelligence as to the whereabouts of those that seek to destroy us taking refuge within Pakistani borders. However, the recent spat of gunfire helps solidify the unwillingness of the Pakistani government to support us in the war on terror.

President Bush made it very obvious to the entire world on more than one occasion, "Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists." As fractured as the Pakistani government may or may not be, it is absolutely clear those with control of the military forces in the mountainous regions have sided with the terrorists.

The US government is done pussy-footing around waiting for Pakistani forces to actually 'help' us root out the terrorists where they hide. US Forces know where to look and the risk associated with hunting down the terrorists where they hide is no longer great enough to warrant playing the waiting game.

I find it rather peculiar that the Pakistani military has proven more than capable of discovering and engaging the greatest fighting force in the world, yet they have proven totally incapable of rooting out a few nasty terrorists. Don't you?

Reap what you sew (Another fine product of public school I'm sure)

I finally had the chance to catch up on the Sarah Palin e-mail fiasco. If you'd like a synopsis from the horses mouth, click here for a piece from Michelle Malkin.

First, I'd like to thank the perp for setting the record straight. Secondly, I hope they give him a nice cozy mattress in an 8'x10' concrete box for aspiring white collar criminals. Coming forward will make it much easier for investigators to apprehend, although, I've no doubt the Secret Service will be most proficient in their daily tasks as they protect and serve. Welcome to the bigs 'rubico'. Your life will change forever from this day forward. I trust it was all worth it.

Please tell me how typical liberals can be so devoid of common sense? The poor saps can't even act properly in their efforts at criminality. Unfortunately, should the unthinkable actually happen and Sen. Obama is elected, I'm sure he'll find it in himself to grant this schmuck a pardon.

Have we nurtured an entire generation that can't tell the simple difference between right and wrong or good and evil and complete disrespect for the law? Where have parents gone wrong? How do these children grow up with such a sense of self-righteousness that no silly federal law is going to stop them from finding that skeleton in Gov. Palin's closet?

If you dig real deep, you'll find products of public schooling. The days of 'political-correctness' have finally caught up with us as we reap exactly what we've sewn. Twelve years of sensitivity training in a controlled environment under the control of the democrats. I'm sure this poor schmuck figured if he was just open and honest about what he's done, his 'classmates' would accept his apology and ignore the fact a federal crime has been committed.

Sen. Obama, tell me please, does this schmuck represent the kind of people running your campaign?

Thanks for the material Sen. Obama

I finally watched an entire Obama ad and was thrilled with the content. The ad showed some of Sen. McCain’s campaign advisors and stated how they worked as lobbyists prior to the campaign. The hook was that if the McCain campaign staff was filled with lobbyists, who would run the White House?

Would anyone believe — John McCain?

As I read between the lines of how that ad was put together, it became obvious the puppet masters managing Sen. Obama’s campaign fully expect to be running the White House should their man end up with more votes. Apparently, ‘they’ don’t believe a President runs the country, his staff does.

Thank you once again to the Obama campaign for providing the entertainment I so enjoy during election season.
