I’d give the edge to Obama (50.1 – 49.9)…mainly due to style.Obama seemed to be a little out of his element when talking budget. He seemed to want us to buy the notion that we can cut spending by not cutting a single program…I guess I’m still confused.Both presented their points like Presidents…Obama was willing to say over and over “when I’m President” McCain did not do so. But Obama while seemed presidential did not seem to have any depth of the information.I think that Obama got a schooling...
You know I’m down here in Australia and you’d think I would be happy…springtime, sunny, warm weather, nice people, no political ads on TV…Well I’m here to tell you I’m going nuts!!!“Hi, my name is Bill and I’m a political junkie.”I do not have internet at the apartment I’m staying at…except when I can’t take it any more and spend $5/hour for access…so I’m relegated to checking while I’m at work. Well that ain’t happening nearly enough since I have...
Well nos1 guessed the same place when we first started this game:NOS1 said...is it the Golden Rondelle? I can't tell if the top of that pic is round ornot! Maybe its my computerWed Jun 04, 03:13:00 PMAnd last week:NOS1 said...Is it the goldan rondell! Is that the name? hmmThu Sep 18, 07:35:00 AMMy question is this…Do I give credit for getting this correct or do I dock him for thinking that this… Equals this…Just joking…it is the Golden Rondelle...
As most of you may have noticed I will be able to blog as much as normal. This is in part due to the fact that I am currently overseas and with limited internet access.So what does this mean?Well what it means is a few things…the usual “name that place” will still be going on every Tuesday but it looks like I forgot to pack my country listings so “name that country” will be on hiatus until I’m back stateside.I will try to blog while I’m here but...
While I am not in Racine…Wisconsin…or even the USA….that does not mean that I can not post things on my blog right!??!Well it is still Tuesday back home…for a few more minutes…and that means we need to Name that Place.Last week’s was tough but nos1 was close enough with what the area is used for. This area is right next to the Mt Pleasant Compost area off of Hwy 20 and is home to the Racine R/C Club. It is a great place to watch people fly their...
Last week was fun…two countries and J. Gravelle did a great job putting together new photo clues for those that we confused by the shape of the countries. The first one was Mozambique while the second one, and by far the best clue so far, was Nigeria!!This week is only 4 out of 1...
Last week had a clue if you had really good eye sight and could see the RWU in front of the pool. It was the Racine Water Utility…right in front of the Racine Yacht Club and South of North Beach.This week is by far the hardest one that I have found so good luck!!Name this Place:...
Reuters: John McCain speech draws record TV ratingsYeah the Dems thought that the show was over when “The Obama” hit a whopping 38.3 million viewers…then along comes our VP candidate and she gets 37.2 million…next night McCain with 38.9 million...a new record!!Yep the base is here and we are read...
I know that I forgot to get last week’s country up…in fact I forgot to blog for a week! I think I’m going to be dizzy!!Well I’m back and I’m ready to go…Last week our friend over at the DailyScoff.com posted on my wordpress blog instead of blogger (yes I’m considering the move and will probably make the jump by years end so pay attention!!)His guess was “How’s it hanging?”The country was Chad.This week you are getting 2 for the price of 1.I would...
I swiped this whole post from The Volokh Conspiracy h/t David Bernstein:“If I were supporting Obama....here are three things I'd keep quiet about with regard to Sarah Palin.(1) How can she do her job as vice-president and take care of her kids? Which leads to the question, how can Obama do the much more demanding job of president and take care of his kids?(2) What makes anyone think that Palin has enough experience to be "one heartbeat from the presidency?" Which leads to the question, what makes...
Last week CU guessed that the place was Mound Cemetery…and of course she is correct! She pointed out that it is a beautiful place to bike…I much prefer to run through this one and look at all the ‘famous’ Racine names buried here…watch the Saturday Morning Running Club site for the next “Cemetery Run” and come join us!!Name this Plac...
My wife noticed that I never posted a country last week…I’ll post 2 this week…Then she pointed out that I had not posted on the blog for more than a week…I have been so busy I just have not had time to do any of this…My bad!!!I’ll be headed overseas for work in 2 weeks so I had better get posting...
