Scott McCollum has another audio bit in the can. I haven’t had a chance to hear it myself yet, but it will probably be posted tomorrow.

The Michael Moore website is back! He even has a link to how the election was stolen. See, liberal ideas didn’t fail, they wuz robbed!
Look at the opening paragraph:

When I spoke with Jeff Fisher this morning (Saturday, November 06, 2004), the Democratic candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives from Florida’s 16th District said he was waiting for the FBI to show up. Fisher has evidence, he says, not only that the Florida election was hacked, but of who hacked it and how. And not just this year, he said, but that these same people had previously hacked the Democratic primary race in 2002 so that Jeb Bush would not have to run against Janet Reno, who presented a real threat to Jeb, but instead against Bill McBride, who Jeb beat.

Whoa, slow down there, Skippy. There’s a couple things wrong with that statement. Now, I was here in Florida during this, and all the analysts thought McBride had a better chance of winning because Reno was too polarizing (it’s like she was running for Governor of Florida just because she felt she hadn’t quite pissed off the Cubans enough), but the Democrats were worried Reno would win the primary because of name recognition. We Republicans had a conundrum of whether to root for Reno or not; she’d be the easier opponent, but, then again, there would actually be a chance of her being governor (I think my opinion was clear in this post and this post).
Now, the other problem with that excerpt is, if the Republicans could easily rig voting, why would they care who won the Democrat primary since they could just rig the general election?
Nuts. Plain nuts.
Anyway, Michael Moore wants to hear from soldiers and veterans. Maybe you could drop him a line and CC me what you said.

Operation “Phantom Fury” has begun. Godspeed, and kick some ass.

I’ve been barraged with questions about the happy dance:
“Where is the happy dance?”
“When is the happy dance coming?”
“Why aren’t you happy dancing now?”
Well, I’ve hastily formed a Happy Dance Committee to get to the bottom of this. If there’s anything that can get answers, its dedicated bureaucracy. I’m sure all happy dance worries shall soon be assuaged. Fear not, ronin, for the future is full of happiness and dancing.

ThoseShirts has new victory shirt available (I don’t have any association with this one). It would go great in an order with IMAO t-shirts.
BTW, hopefully we’ll get more modeling shots from the t-shirt babe, soon (lazy t-shirt babe).

The Democrats and lefties seem to be casting this election victory as one born out of fear, ignorance, and primitive religious values.
Now, I’m an uber-partisan who votes for pretty much anything with an ‘R’ next to its name anyway, but I was somewhat motivated by fear of Kerry being elected as I know people who are out fighting the good fight or will be and could make an intellectual argument of why a Kerry victory would make them less safe. Also, I was motivated by an optimistic view for the future where we can actually do something about all the evil out there in the world. All Kerry offered was a retrograde vision of going back to the blissful ignorance of the nineties.
Anyhoo, the question is whether Democrats will stop underestimating voters anytime soon or can we expect another gain for the incumbent party in the off-year election of 2006?
Doesn’t look to me like the Democrats have gotten a reality check yet. What do you think?

Now that Bush has a mandate and Republicans have increased control of the House and the Senate, it’s time for a radical agenda. Here’s what’s on the plate:
Tax Cuts: First on agenda, more tax cuts! Yay! Should be targeted at those who need it most – the rich!
Fine for Being Poor: To help fund tax cuts, new fines. Since America is the land of opportunity, if you’re poor, then you’re wasting the opportunity. That means a fine!
Reinstate the Draft: We may need more people for the extremely dangerous, near-suicide fighting in some areas. Thus we should draft Canadians into the military. Some may ask if it’s right to draft someone to die on behalf of another president in some foreign nation, but, according to American law, Canadians have no rights!
No More Being Homo-Gay: The Christian-right will need some of the spoils for helping in the big win, so “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” will apply to all of American life. In addition, show tunes will be banned.
Take on the Ninja Threat: With the new mandate, now we can move on to fighting the war on terror to also taking on the looming ninja threat. Troops will be taught the ways of kung fu and the numchukus.
Whine Reduction Act: New law will declare radical Hollywood left enemy combatants and send them to Gitmo. Much like the blob, Michael Moore will be frozen and shipped to Antarctica.
Lower Gas Prices: Help lower gas prices by putting saturation bombing on the table when negotiating with OPEC.
Fix Social Security: Social Security will be fixed by allowing us to invest our money in individual accounts in the “Stop Stealing My Money, You Thieving Government!” Act.
Simplify Taxes: Simplify the tax code by blowing up the IRS building. Blowing stuff up is simple.
Forcefully Seize Antarctica: Antarctica is weird and full of penguins and potentially has aliens buried under the ice according to much sci-fi. We should seize control so we can prevent any Antarctica threat and mine it for gold and sweet, sweet molybdenum.
No France: The existence of France will be made illegal. Failure to comply with this law will be met with force and soap.
Super Patriot Act: With the success of the Patriot Act, will now make the even more powerful Super Patriot Act. If you’d like to know the unclassified details about it, just talk to your local intelligence agent by speaking into your dial tone.
Elimination of Useless Species: America is a grand country and should only be populated by grand animals. A committee will decide what animals are not needed and thus can be eliminated. I’ve never understood a squirrel’s place in the ecosystem and I still don’t.
Big Barbecue Party: Follows from the previous.
Democrats into Camps: Democrats worried of being steamrolled by the new Republican power should know that they will get the fun of camp! Yay! It’s just like those summer camps where you kayaked and played volleyball, but instead you will work in underground mines to produce the raw materials needed for the military industrial complex. Hooray!
Reduce the Debt: Reduce the debt by reminding foreigners we have lots of nukes and don’t need to pay back anything if we don’t feel like it.
Kill More Terrorists: Improve troops’ morale for killing terrorists by giving them a card that gets a stamp for each terrorist killed. Get six stamps and you get a free sub from Subway.
Supreme Court Justices: Make sure that new Supreme Court justices are strict interpretationalists (“I don’t see public schools anywhere in the Constitution; away with them!”). For older liberal judges, they will be helped in “retiring.”
Total Super War: Let’s make it the goal of America to individually invade and defeat every country out there. That will prove our supremacy beyond question. When negotiating with any country, we can now say, “Didn’t we kick your ass once?”
