I made the point that Ross Perot did such an economics infomercial and got higher ratings than the World Series game on that night — and that was before Tivo.

To me, blogging is putting messages in a bottle and hoping someone reads them. It would be nice to get credit and the whole idea put out there.

Sarah Palin should do a 15 or 30 minute infomercial on how high gas and food prices are linked to political choices made by Democrats. Perot did such a talking head with flip charts infomercial which the “experts” at the networks chortled at. Guess what? Perot got higher ratings than the World Series.

Sarah Palin is an expert on energy which has a lot to do with high gas and food prices. As follows:

Why are fuel prices so high?

Because the Democrats and their environmentalist friends want gas prices to be high so we’ll move to alternative fuels, but we’re not there yet. Never mind, they say. So everyone suffers….

Sarah Palin, as Governor stopped the squabbling that had taken place for 30 years, got a new bidder on the natural gas pipeline and signed the papers just before becoming VP candidate. The pipeline will be bringing natural gas to the “thirsty lower 48″ as soon as it’s built.This project and off-shore drilling and, solar, biodiesel and all of the above should be fast-tracked as if we were at war, which we are with the Axis of oil.

Sarah Palin also raised the amount of royalties citizens get from the oil companies, $1,200 for each citizen. Our state treasuries would swell. And, can you imagine getting a check for drilling off our coasts? If people knew that they’d get royalties, they’d really get on the case of the environmentalists especially when oil is being used as a weapon against us by our Islamicist and Communist (Chavez) and Fascist (Putin) enemies. Lower gas prices and landing one on Putin’s nose, a win-win situation.

High food prices. In his first debate, McCain announced he was against the corn ethanol subsidy but he didn’t connect the dots. Who cares? We should care, because corn is fed to beef and pigs and when using it as fuel becomes more profitable, corn is diverted to the more profitable use and food prices go up. High food prices are also linked to high gas prices because truckers have to drive to bring food to your local market.

Then, after this infomercial, she should do one on cutting funds for teapot and Gene Autry museums and all the other wacky accretions to the national budget. The excuse is always given that these are small expenditures, but they grow, and everyone knows that saving small sums can have a big impact on the family budget.

Got a call center in Pakistan.
I told them I was suicidal.
They got all excited and asked if I could drive a truck.”

A Grandson came to visit his grandparents, and he noticed his grandfather sitting on the porch, in the rocking chair, wearing only a shirt, with nothing on from the waist down.

“Grandpa, what are you doing? Your weenie is out in the wind for everyone to see!” he exclaimed. The old man looked off in the distance without answering.

“Grandpa, what are you doing sitting out here with nothing on below the waist?” he asked again.

The old man slowly looked at him and said, “Well….last week I sat out here with no shirt on, and I got a stiff neck. This is your grandma’s idea.”

Moosen!

Oh, I’m still learning all the keys on the MacBook.

Fear Will Subside”

Can we have a convention do-over ?

Or at least have McCain announce that Forbes will be his SecTreas?
