Some links for today and an open thread

Tagged:

Sorry I've been away for that past couple of days... I wanted to welcome BlackRepub and others that have set up shop here in our little corner of the playground....you're all welcome here! :0)

There are a couple of links I wanted to bring to everyones attention this morning.

First Cal Thomas has a great column this morning called In Defense of "Big Oil" with helpful facts relevant to gas prices, oil profits, and Bush's trip to Saudi Arabia to talk with OPEC.

Next, the Senate will vote today on the McConnell bill which will increase oil production in the US not likely to get the needed votes.

And finally, The Wall Street Journal has editorial on McCain’s cap and trade proposal A little birdie told me this "essentially amounts to a contemporary form of eco-socialism" I couldn't agree more, and thanks for the tip!

And after today's tantrum and RINO name calling from my blog-which is up here in case anyone wants to check it out, it's my new Contract with America and me getting of Straight Talk Express, I'm not sure how much more of RS I can take either until after the election. Especially with most of my favorite redstaters over here anyway. It's nice to have a place where folks understand the difference between principles and winning elections.

But me and the wife have got him down to a science, especially now that it's summer. He wears himself out at the park on a daily basis and sleeps all night. Of course, not being able to watch endless Sesame Street is the most of his worries-ah the pangs of being two :-)

We were playing in the park and a group of soldiers were going by, and he asked my Daddy, what's that? I told him, son those are heroes. Those men and women sacrifice everything so that you and I can play in this park in this country. Go over and say thank you. And he went over and said thank you heroes, and one of the soldiers saluted him and he did it back. Patriotism is in our souls-bringing him up right early :0-)

The last of our stuff in Chicago has to go en route to Ann Arbor, and then I'm done moving forever woohoo-well, until the next time lol. But maybe we can send cards or stop by if we get to Ann Arbor in time.

I have my Curious George from when I was 2 years old-my most prized possession :-). I have every single book-I tried to get him into it, but he loves Elmo and Ernie more, heh.

So i eventually I decide my face hurts enough and I'm gonna start kicking him back. McCain has unleashed the wrath of BR for the rest of the election cycle, and put himself in the no more love from me category. There's gonna be a lot of I told you so for the next four years.

McCain is poison for the Party down ticket!

I broke my vow to not post over there to lay out how I'd been threatened for supposedly being "Disruptive" to the purpose of Red State which is "to elect Republicans first, and promote Conservatism second." because they tried to act like no one has ever said shut up and get in line! I've got posts and emails from Steve LA, AdamC, Moe Lane, and others over there from just after the primaries to prove that to be an empty assertion! I'm back to lurking now.

BTW...You haven't commented on my thread post in reply to your contract. I'd like to know what you think?
