I'M BAACK

Well ... after a fairly nice week in the Sunshine State, I'm back and catching up with all the news.

Apparently religion isn't ... even though the media is trying awfully hard to make it so ... going to affect the primaries. As much as the MSM tries, until they take Obama to task for being any connection to Islam, they're going to have to eat the religion issue.

Then of course there's the hoo-hah over the "torture tapes." I've said it once and I'll say it again: if torture saves one of our people from dying, it works for me. And I'll also reiterate: I've been water boarded (admittedly, in practice to get an idea what the subject would go through). It sucks and you WILL talk. Unless you're a fan of feeling like you're fixin' to drown.

(BTW: Click on the December 2005 entry (on the left) of LRRP's World, and scroll down to another conversation about torture. None of this shit is new.)

Anyway, even that doesn't seem to be getting an inordinate amount of MSM pressure since, near as I can tell, they (the MSM that is) are way too busy falling over themselves trying to portray the nicer Hillary/Clintons. They write like a bunch of teenaged girls at a Whoever Montana concert sound. Thankfully their labors at enamorous prose have caused most of them to simply lose interest in anything else.

Let's see ... Kudos to Senator Joe for coming out for McCain. The libs must reaaaally hate Joe. Hell, it's no wonder ... he actually says what he means, and backs it up, making him a rarity among the political elite, left or right. I think we need a Jewish guy like Joe in the White House. Beats most of the WASPS, Christians, Muslims, etc., of the current crop.

But since he isn't running, I'm still pulling for Rudy or Fred. I love Senator McCain, and he would have made a helluva president, but it needed to happen last time.

Okay ... that's it for now ... if you don't get back here until after the new year, here's wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
