* Happy Veteran’s Day! And happy birthday to my brother, Joe foo’ the Marine. Funny how his birthday almost always lands on the same day as Veteran’s Day.
Anyway, thanks to all veterans who, by killing evil foreigners, allows me the cushy life of being able to earn money making fun of politics.
* A national poll still has Herman Cain on top with Newt Gingrich now tying Romney for second. Of course, a national poll means little since a few freak states are what actually determines who is ahead, but I’m still holding out hope for an upset. Every time all the pundits are all wrong, an angel gets its wings.
* Obama has yet again made another bold declaration of “Present!” Since the decision on whether to build the Keystone pipeline put him between environmentalists and union workers, he’s punted the issue until after the 2012 election. I thought this guy liked jobs and stuff? Oh wait, he likes his job and wants to do whatever he can to keep it, even if practically it makes him a useless coward. Hopefully, after November 2012, he’ll be able to make a decision on the pipeline with a clear head knowing he’ll only have the job for a couple more months.
* Leo Panetta is warning that sweeping military cuts would invite aggression. Does he mean from the enemy or from Republicans?
* Cain has apologized for calling Nancy Pelosi “Princess Nancy”. Pelosi’s actual title in the harpy hierarchy is “Grand Buzzard”.
* Now people are getting shot over Occupy Oakland. This whole movement started as some vague strike against Wall Street, and now it seems more like they’re trying to start the planet of the apes.
* Wisdom of the Day: “This 1% everyone keeps talking about are the critics who liked Jack and Jill, right?” –Cole Stratton
* BTW, I’ll be taking next week off from my day job. Part of that is because my aforementioned brother is visiting home on leave, and the other part is to leave me free to promote my book which comes out next Tuesday. So, still expect me to blog each day — and also probably have some radio appearances to announce.
Amazon has started ranking my book
