I’ve talked before on my Predictions of the Presidential Election tomorrow.

Here is my last report on the subject. All states have a color of blue or red, there is no yellow.

Now I will shut up on this subject and we will let history be written.

I wish I was making this up. And no, this is not a parody.

Dateline: Election Day – Tucson, Arizona – an innocent young man attempts to perform his civic duty, only to find he is on the adventure of his life…

I should have known was to be expected this fateful day. With all the news, hype, and legal threats, it would not be just a day at the beach. (I really should have expected that, since I live in the desert, cause there is no water. Therefore, no beach; therefore it wouldn’t be a day at the beach.)

As you can see, my expectations were really way off already.

I’m writing this as George W. Bush enjoyes 269 unofficial Electoral Votes, and we’re waiting on two things:

1. Nevada, Iowa, or New Mexico to put the final push to a Bush Victory.
2. A Kerry/Edwards concession speach.

However, both campaigns are tacitly saying the same thing: Bush Wins.

CBS:Dan Rather vs. “The Blogging Machine”

This whole thing just shows how the left does not believe that the right wing can think independently.

Well, the news is out. Kerry proves he is the better candidate (over AlGore) and has announced he will conceed in the next 2 hours.

Thank you John Kerry.
Now we can all get back to work.

I remember the first election I voted in 12 years ago, I went into the election confident that my choice for President would reclaim his seat; but alas it was not the case.

I was angry.
I was upset.
I was mad at a nation who could elect Bill Clinton to be the Commander in Chief.

I’m listening to C-Span’s webcast before Kerry’s Concession Speech, and they are taking calls from people all over the nation.
Its depressing, but it reminds me of some of what I felt 12 years ago, and 4 years after that.

BUSH WINS!
BUSH WINS!

The Modernist Papers

There have been questions of the validity of the Electoral College system over the past five years. Is it still a valid means to elect our Chief Executive? Is it outdated? Does it subvert the popular vote too much?

To answer these questions, one needs to review WHY there is such a thing as the seemingly enigmatic Electoral College Process, to do that, we turn to Alexander Hamilton’s Federalist No. 68.

It seems Major Media does not want to publish the final results of the Presidential Election:
(Granted, I’m making the very-safe assumption that New Mexico and Iowa are going to George W. Bush.)
However, I think this result (which will go into History Textbooks everywhere) is important to note:

I watched the Showtime movie DC 9/11:Time of Crisis. I wanted to see this September 11th Drama before the election, but could not get it from Netflix in time.

If you have not seen this movie, you should.

Today is Dad’s birthday, this post is for him.

I’ve talked about my Dad quite a few times:

Regarding Holidays
A memorable Christmas
The Gilby Secret Eggnog Recipe
My affinity for a good Black Coffee
Our mutual plight of being overly-tall
His love for his UofM Wolverines
His status as a Snow Warrior

So allow me to write some more wonderful things about him.

Wouldn’t you know it, I get home later than usual one Sunday afternoon, and I come home to see the Eagles suffered their first loss, to the Pittsburg Steelers, 27-3.

I’m humbled.

I have no comments, I just will hide my head in Shame.
(more…)

Granted, their party lost, big time, just last week, but the garbage that is coming out of the “news” and “news commentary” is quite disturbing, especially when people try to rationalize what the heck happened. They get really mean.

Jane Smiley is really angry it seems.

The election results reflect the decision of the right wing to cultivate and exploit ignorance in the citizenry.

WOW.

I just want to quote Dan Ackroyd, on SNL’s Weekend Update:

Jane, you ignorant …

… well, lets not go there.

As some of you know, I was one of the first users of Mozilla‘s “Phoenix” browser. (I first downloaded this product when it was 0.1)
It was renamed to Firebird, and then FireFox because of various trademark infringements, but now, that project has now left the beta stage and is now a 1.0 product.

That means you have no exuses to not download it.

So do it!
Do it now!

I was slow to get around to it, but I finally finished watching the 10-disk series on “The Prisoner“. After watching Babylon 5 (and hearing about all The Prisoner references) I felt it would be a good experience.

I was right. But not in a way I expected.

Is it me, or when you hear people describe your politics, or philosophy as “stupid” or “ignorant”, you secretly feel as if you somehow know something they don’t?

I’ve been thinking that alot (before and after the election of 2004).

Everytime I hear a talking head (or non-talking head) describe me as stupid, I think to myself. (They just don’t get it. They are rushing to judgement on something and they don’t really know WHY people disagree with them. – I know something they don’t.)

When I’m less-selfish-than-usual, I also ponder on “how do I communicate to this person that they are mistaken in their shallow analysis?”

Let’s look to the toteboard and see how we are doing…

George W. Bush: 60,366,247

According to Yahoo!’s Election Results.

Mars is Experiencing Global Warning; spawning “Mars First” protests on Phobos, Deimos and Uranus.

Before I get to the fun stuff, I’d just like to point out how silly this makes Earth Based Global Warming theories appear when a planet devoid of human contact is suspected of “Global Warning”.

But as you can see, we can still blame George W. Bush!

More Election 2004 fall out. Now some of the looney-left is seriously considering banning Christians from participating in National Elections.

Yes, the “Party of Democracy”; the “Party of Compassion”; and the “Party of Intelligence” has members who want to disenfranchise Christians.

The U.S.’s chief diplomat, Colin Powell, has resigned; However, three of his major diplomatic tools are still deployed around the world.

See below for status and whereabouts of the 12 largest man-made mobile tools of U.S. Diplomacy.
You may ask, “Jeremy, why is a Navy SuperCarrier a tool of diplomacy?”
I would reply, “Kind Reader, when you have 4.5 acres of defendable, soverign, and mobile U.S. “Turf” that you can park in any international waters, THAT is a diplomatic advantage.”

Here is a metric you might appreciate: The popular vote percentage difference between GWB2000 and GWB2004, state by state. You might be surprised at what I found.

I was perusing Electoral-Vote-dot-com, a noticably left-of-center site, which at least makes an attempt to reflect as moderate. For each state, it had the Bush/Kerry/Nader popular vote percentages, I also noticed it used the Bush/Gore numbers as a benchmark for tracking the 2004 pre-election polls. I noticed a rather entertaining trend.

Almost all the states had an INCREASE in the popular vote percentage for President George W. Bush.
Of all the States/Districts, only 2 showed a decrease, and 2 were just two close to make a comfortable call. So of the 51 entities, 47 had a popular increase for GWB.

Peggy Noonan had a great article, yesterday, in the Wall Street Journal’s Opinion-Journal. It was simply titled: Shhhhhh.

Her premise: There is a lot of talking about a lot of things, a lot of it is the cooling off of this heated Presidential Election. She just encouraged the public to be quiet, and be calm, in a soothing kind of wrote.

Quiet.

I like the sound of that.

I wanna branch out; I used to be a huge talk-radio junkie, but after I moved to Arizona, I fell away from it (it was probably a good thing.) But now, there are some pretty good shows out there I’m interested in listening to, but I don’t always have a radio or a good-stable station with a decent signal-to-noise ratio where I can listen to such entertainment.

But now I hear about these Satelite Radio Vendors, there are some people at work who use it, and are happy with it. So, Okay, I’m curious. So, Kind-and-faithful-readership, what is your opinion of paid subscription Satelite Radio?

Fred Barnes as a good article on the Opinion-Journal-dot-com Editorial section yesterday, on why Bush is an insurgent President. Just one more reason to like him!

The premise: Bush is not part of the “D.C. Establishment”, therefore he is an insurgent in Washington.

[Vent Mode On] Okay, this has happened more times than I can count this week. Patience is running thin, and I’m almost down to my last straw.

Here is some Pre-Thanksgiving Humor:

The site is a funny one, its called “Blame Bush”
The entire site is a parody of the extreme liberal left, its designed to be obnoxious.

Blame Bush, cause he is to blame for everything, including the myths of Thanksgiving.
Oh, and FYI: Its not a PG site.

Ever notice how Thanksgiving stands out from our other major holidays? What makes Thanksgiving so special?

Everyone admits that Christmas is no longer about the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.
Everyone admits that Easter is more about Bunnies, and Candy Eggs rather than the celebration of the Resurection of Jesus Christ.

So what makes Thanksgiving so special? How did it stand the test of time, still celebrating its original intent?

One thing I’m taking advantage of this Thansgiving time off is a chance to rest my left leg.

I’ve not addessed it before, but I strained my calf muscle on my left-leg playing baseball on Sunday. (Yes, Mom, I know I said I wouldn’t get hurt…)

I can walk on it, but it hurts, and its stiff; so I’m spending today and tomorrow in bed, to give the leg a chance to heal on its own. This happened before, and it took about a week to mend itself (and that week I was on the move all week, so I wasn’t doing myself any favors.)

Some Online Articles I missed this weekend that caught my attention this morning:

• The Home Front comes to life: For the first time since World War II, the American Home-front is privatized and strong. This was an interesting peice on how non-government support is up, even in the era of bad-news-all-the-time reports coming from Iraq.
• Pursue Happiness, Vote GOP: Pete du Pont offers an astute perspective into the current thinking and public opinion of the mainstream Democratic Party.
• Republicans Outnumbered In Academia, Studies Find: To steal a mantra from James Taranto: “What would we do without Studies?” :: Is there potential for the blogosphere to tackle the liberal academia, like the liberal Media? George Will chimes in.

Howard Dean missed the bus to South Carolina, and Oklahoma, and Arizona, and North Dakota, and New Mexico.
He was late for his flight to California, and Texas, and New York.
He ran out of gas trying to get to South Dakota, and Oregon, and Washington, and Michigan.
