Convinced
After this hornswoggle called a "bailout", I'm more firmly convinced that Bob Barr is the only candidate who gets it. All this bailout does is reward failure. A small business owner who runs his business in the ground has no choice but to accept the consequences of his failure. Why should Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or AIG be different? Ultimately it comes down to government increasing its reach into the market where free enterprise and competition are steadily being replaced by socialism and economic planners. I understand the use of computers in the financial world, but is anyone else alarmed by the reliance upon computer models rather than free market principles? It sounds a lot like the Soviet Union to me. Let the companies that fail, fail on their own. Let the companies that succeed (ethically) reap the benefits of their success without punishment.

My New Hero
I'm not the biggest golf fan, but you have to love Boo Weekley. I mean, any man who says "excitin'" and still plays golf, you have to love it. If you caught any of the Ryder Cup coverage, you saw how exuberant and exciting and excited Mr. Weekley was.
Mark my words. If Team USA wins the Ryder Cup, it will be as big a story as the USA Hockey Team winning against the Soviet Union in the early 80's. First, the eyes of the golf world are turned to Louisville Kentucky. How great is that? Second, Team USA is up by 3 after the first day. Last, Nick Faldo has left his two big guns on the bench for Saturday's match, Sergio Garcia and Lee Westwood. That's like putting Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan on the bench for the gold medal match at the Olympics. This could be huge come Sunday. Check out the Ryder Cup website for cool videos

A First for Me
I've recently made my first contribution to a political campaign. As much as I wanted to for Duncan Hunter, I was not able to do so. However, I made a contribution to the Ken Cuccinelli for Attorney General Campaign. I must admit, it was not much, but it was worth every cent that I spent. I believe Mr. Cuccinelli will be a very strong figure on the statewide "team". Visit his website here.

Barack Hussein Obama - SLEAZEBAG
What a sleazebag Barack Obama is. Yes, I called him a sleazebag. My friend Kilo at Spark It Up, has this post up and I'd counsel anyone who is pro-life or even those who are on the fence to watch this. Again, I call Obama a SLEAZEBAG.
Obama is only upset with the fact that Ms. Palin has CHOSEN to keep the child. Barack Obama is pro-choice, only when that choice is murdering an unborn child. SLEAZEBAG. Waste of skin Kilo? You got that right.
Without throwing the partisan aspect into this, I commend Bristol Palin AND her family for counseling for LIFE. It is easy for politicians to talk about pro-choice, pro-life, etc. It is something totally different for a politician to practice what they preach. Love, counsel, and raise the child, give it a chance at life.

Governor Palin
WOW! That's what I have to say. In my book, if Pat Buchcanan gives you a ringing endorsement, that's pretty much hard to beat. I'm very close to doing something that I've done twice so far of my own volition, and once because my candidate dropped out of the race. This is not something I do light heartedly. Stay tuned this week.
Governor Palin, while being tabbed as a maverick pick and unorthodox pick, I submit that in terms of strategic politics, it is a very sound and logical pick. Senator McCain is weak among evangelicals and social conservatives in general. Governor Palin could appeal to those who acknowledge life-issues and family values as their primary criteria in voting.
Certainly, Governor Palin has been very effective in combating old network pork barrel bosses like Murkowski and Young. I believe that Governor Palin's primary appeal will be her ability to energize the core conservative base, without whose support, Senator McCain will lose in November.
Tactically speaking, this pick certainly dominated the news cycle. Another good reason why the timing is so important.
As it stands right now, I still support Bob Barr for President. If the McCain/Palin ticket can make a convincing argument for switching, I'll consider it.

BREAKING NEWS!!!! THIS IS SERIOUS
Abingdon, VA at 2:46 pm, the date is Sunday, August 31, 2008. In a surprising discovery today, Bible readers have discovered that Almighty God is neither a Republican NOR a Democrat. DNC Chairman Howard "YEOWWW" Dean responded, "The Father has illustrated his total lack of understanding of the issues. If he truly were omniscient, he would be relating more to Democrats.
RNC Chairman Mike Duncan essentially echoes Dean's reply by stating, "God has certain rights that He and His office attain." "That said, God has demonstrated a fundamental lack of concern for those of His children who work so hard to elect GOP candidates."

Something New
Please bear with me as I try out a new program(for me) called ScribeFire. I'll be using it to post new entries to Good Sense. Let me have some feedback from those of you who have used it before. Also, I'll have a new post later today giving my take on John McCain's pick for running mate, Governor Sarah Palin.
