I love this game but every now and then I get the feeling that people are just rushing to their atlas (does anybody out there have one of these anymore?) and finding the country so that they can post it.I have no way of verifying or stopping that but I can ask that if you are doing this be a bit more indirect with your answer…there are others that like to play and they could use a hint from those of you that know what the country is.Play along…its...
I will admit that had I been home last night I would have watched the debates but not being there meant that I was only able to catch the replay late last night and by that time I just wasn’t all that interested.However, I did get to see Romney call McCain out on the lies the McCain camp spread about Romney wanting a timetable for Iraq.What I found interesting was that McCain’s only retort about the lies was that Romney had “negative attack ads” playing against McCain and Huckabee’s record.So let...
I’m willing to bet it will become a very hot commodity for thieves!We see the video footage all of the time of people stealing ATM machines…how long before these big machines are stole...
I’m not really happy about the results but I think the exit polls put things into perspective:43% of people polled said Abortion should be Legal and 45% of them voted for McCain.42% of people polled said the Crist endorsement was important and 54% of them voted for McCain.32% of people polled said that they had a Negative Opinion of Bush and 45% of them voted for McCain.11% of people polled said that they were Liberal and 49% of them voted for McCain.28% of people polled said that they were Moderate...
Are you going to watch the State of the Union tonight?Do you think that the President will “calm” America on the economic issues or just exacerbate the problem?Will he talk to the gains in Iraq and the fears of Iran?What issues do you want him to talk about? I’m still not sure if I will watch tonight…If I do I’ll report my opinions of the speec...
I knew last week’s country would be gotten pretty quick…it helps when your country has a distinct shape. Last week you were looking at YemenThis week is pretty easy. 2 out of 10(To preempt the attacks I will get…the land in question here is based on what is “under the countries control.” I am in no way making a political statement about the region...
I saw this article online last night and nearly gagged on the clear intent of the article. If you head to the website for the, LOL, The Center for Public Integrity (that name is just too funny when you read articles like this one) you will find the cover story is: The War Card: Orchestrated Deception on the Path to WarThey are claiming that the Bush administration knowingly lead the US into the Iraqi war with premeditated malice. They want everyone to believe that the world all knew that Iraq...
Let me get this straight; the UN and enviro-nazis like Algore, have spent the last decade telling us that we need to move fast on the ‘global warming’ crisis and have pushed the world into using new fuels without ever considering the consequences. While skeptics in the scientific community and people like you and me have been saying lets take this slow and make sure the data is accurate before we do something that will make matters worse.Well now we get this story from the UN which in part says...
Fred Thompson quits presidential race“I hope that my country and my party have benefited from our having made this effort.” Can someone tell Fred that the reason he has to drop out is because they DIDN’T put much effort into this race!!Well Fred did the right thing and dropped out…how much longer are we going to have to endure Huckabe...
I know of people who think Fred Thompson still stands a chance…to them I offer this comic: ...
I regularly debate a little with my co-workers about the elections and politics and we have been spending time each week before a primary picking our winners.This weekend we have the SC primary and the NV caucus. Here are my predictions:NV - GOP:Romney (by 10 or more)McCainHuckabee (will not break 12%)SC - GOP:McCain (too close to call with Huckabee...I think it is a coin flip)HuckabeeRomney (distant 3rd...maybe he will get 15% if he is lucky...but 3rd place still earns him delegates!!)NV – Dems:Clinton...
Well I’m back from Florida and I will regale you with stories from the Goofy Challenge once I put them down electronically.Until then lets get back down to business…it is Thursday and that means it is time for Name that Country!!Last week I thought I’d trip people up by going back to Africa with the choice of Zimbabwe but it looks like at least one of you knows your African countries!!This week’s country I think is real easy but I’ll give it a 5...
A day early but I have to do it…Last week’s country was in fact Spain!!!This week is a bit harder…maybe…personally I don’t think so but I’m a little odd.6 out of 1...
Well I will be heading down to Florida tonight and I can not guarantee that I will be able to post anything until next week but I thought that I should share with you the craziness that I am going to be undertaking.Some of you that know me know that I enjoy running…okay maybe not ‘enjoy’ but know that I run…okay, maybe not ‘run’, it is more of a quick jog. All that aside, I set a goal for myself a couple of years ago to run a marathon in each of the 50 States before I turn 50 and this weekend I...
If you heard “if we are punishing girls like that, that is unacceptable," what would you think the person was talking about?Do you think that "It's critical that these young women have a chance to bond with their babies," is in reference to hospitals and healthcare providers?Well according to the Denverpost.com we are talking about teenage mothers who are requesting maternity leave from high school!! (link)Maybe they should not have gotten pregnant in the first place!! How come now that they are...
I’m not a big fan of the awards shows but thought this was worth noting:Golden Globes reduced to news conferenceWhat I find most funny is that the writers are taking solace in the fact that A-listers such as George Clooney are not going to cross the picket line, since he belongs to six unions, when the reality is that if each of these multi-million dollar actors would surrender 1% of their salaries this writers strike would be over and there would be extra money in the union. But lets be honest,...
We have all heard of the antics played by Hilary during her campaigns but do I believe that she would place 2 men in her audience to yell “Iron My Shirt!” intentionally?Yes I do and you know that you believe that these guys were plants as well!In fact I wouldn’t doubt that one of the guys was Bill himself...
Well I thought for sure that Romney would win Iowa and that the poll numbers were just inflated due to last minute media hype of Huckabee. I even thought that Huckabee would even come in third…well folks I was wrong.I was right when it came to my co-worker…who I hope is reading this right now…Thompson didn’t stand a chance. As of 9:51 PM CST good ‘ole Fred is in third (10 points behind Romney who came in second!!!) and is slowly loosing ground to the fourth place candidate, McCain.New Hampshire...
One of my co-workers is currently in Iowa and he believes he has an insider that is telling him that the Fred Thompson campaign’s internal numbers show that he will win Iowa!!My first response is not a chance in hell. Especially when the Politico is reporting that there is a good possibility that Fred will soon be out of the race…yes, I know that Fred is denouncing this report and saying that it is not true but look at reality he is trailing (by...
With me not posting much over the holiday I thought that someone would have come up with the correct name of both of these countries but I guess you were all on holiday as well!The first one that looks like an upside-down teardrop (or as kate put it ‘something in my kid's algebra book’) is Grenada.The second country is Bulgaria!This week I’ll give you all a relatively easy one to see if any of you are paying attention.5 out of 10....
