I used to have a Nielsen box. I wish I still had it so I could not watch Oprah's network and feel like I was accomplishing something important.

They do not understand religion because government has replaced religion in their ideology.

While it may be possible to not know who Andrew Breitbart it, it's just plain stupid to attempt to smear your opponent with a connection to Breitbart when you haven't bothered to find out who Breitbart is. Kraus doesn't even know what he's accusing his opponent of, and that is inexcusable.

Let's say that Kraus is a true conservative who's been operating in the dark and just doesn't interact with other conservatives who have clued him in to the conservative websites. I suppose I could accept that. What I can't accept is candidate who is too lazy or too stupid to do any research on his opponents. Not knowing who Breitbart is is ignorance. Not bothering to find out who Breitbart is before attempting to smear his opponent with guilt by association is stupid, and you just can't fix stupid.

If PP really wanted to help the hungry, surely they could find a non-denominational food bank that would accept the food, or perhaps they could take the food to the pantry themselves? But we can all see that this isn't really about taking care of the hungry. It's about shutting down and shutting up anyone who disagrees with the ideology of the left. How does it benefit the hungry to shut down a local food bank?

And when the lamestream media does mention how divisive Obama is, they always blame those racist right-wingers, not Obama.

Lately I've been going to the AFI Silver Theater in Silver Spring, MD. The main theater is gorgeous - a huge screen and big, comfortable seats with plenty of legroom, and the two smaller theaters have stadium seating. The nicest thing about the Silver Theater, however, is that it's strictly an adult crowd. The riffraff all go to the multiplex one block over.

I really really really hope New York lifts its ban on fracking soon.

Candy Land: The Movie? Ugh

Every time I get to the point where I think I can live with the trade-off of conservatism for electability and competence, Romney says/does something like this. Romney really needs to get a campaign coach who will drill him on what not to say to the mainstream media. He needs to come up with a few short, sharp campaign slogans and hammer away on them, i.e., "I'm concerned about all Americans," "The best way to help the poor and middle class is to grow the economy and make sure people have jobs." Romney's performance in this interview is extremely frustrating.
