We're the Military and Airpower Guys of Jonah Goldberg of National Review Online + a stray we found wandering around looking lost. All original material JHD, BHD, JR, WT, and KA 2003-2007 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/now_i_remember.html Tue, 23 Sep 2008 16:56:58 Z Movable Type 4.12 en Copyright 2008 http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification So I can get these gems... like this bit of reportage from Mayhill Fowler. She gives Kat and Ry a run for their money on being... verbose. Some of which, I suspect, is her wanting to show us how educated and observant she is. Heh. Not like I don't suffer from that, now and again. Anyway - Ms. Fowler is reflecting on following the Obama campaign through Pennsylvania, and more specifically, Senator Obama's fundraiser speech to rich Californians where he lays out what's wrong with Pennsylvania. These qualities of hospitality, patriotism and endurance are exactly what Californians need to hear... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/now_i_remember.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/now_i_remember.html Sat, 12 Apr 2008 06:43:44 -0600 Groan. Don't go cornfusing all of CA for SanFran(they hate that up there, they want to be called The City. They're like NYers and Baaaahstonians in they're belief of supremacy over all that surrounds them.). Yes, they are pasty looking people unless they go under sun lamps--which makes them look like they have leathery skin, or UnkaBill with a nasty sunburn. But not all of us 'Fornians are like that. And this goes to show that the author doesn't understand CA(which can be easily broken down into three parts for easier governance, but won't: North, Central(ag country, where you find NASCAR and country fans in CA)), and South). Um, Californian's havent gone thru tough times? Where was she during the 90s when if you weren't tech you were going under? The real estate collapse? Northridge earthquake? Multiple(like 9 or ten fires, earthquakes, and mudslides) natural disasters costing tens of billions of dollars? We know what tough times look like. The San Raph and SF people might not, people in Humbolt might not, but the rest of us have a clue, thankewberrymunch. No, what she should say, sans the code, is the liberal bastions of CA need to hear that people who don't think like them don't need to be re-educated. NOw *THAT* would be an interesting message. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/now_i_remember.html#comment-71944 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/now_i_remember.html#comment-71944 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 13:22:48 -0600 This is all just so true. Thumbs up to you guys :-) http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/now_i_remember.html#comment-71925 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/now_i_remember.html#comment-71925 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 08:56:29 -0600 OP - sorry for the delay in publishing your comment. When they go into moderation, I don't know until they show up in the box - HM/MT has been getting cranky enough I sometimes don't know for almost 24 hours. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/now_i_remember.html#comment-71920 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/now_i_remember.html#comment-71920 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 07:42:49 -0600 Obama, how many security men do you have? How many guns do they have? One or two for each man? Why don’t you practice what you preach and get rid of all you guns (hired or holstered)? http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/now_i_remember.html#comment-71905 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/now_i_remember.html#comment-71905 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 01:09:20 -0600 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sc9PepjyDow&eurl=http://www.prospect.org/csnc/blogs/ezraklein_archive?month=04&year=2008&base_name=obama_turns_all_thomas_frank_o]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/now_i_remember.html#comment-71896 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/now_i_remember.html#comment-71896 Sun, 13 Apr 2008 00:53:32 -0600 As I read on another blog (Instapundit, IIRC, who was quoting someone else): I'm continually reminded by their leadership and bloggers that I'm not smart enough to be in the Democratic Party. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/now_i_remember.html#comment-71890 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/now_i_remember.html#comment-71890 Sat, 12 Apr 2008 19:15:15 -0600 PS..maybe someone might remind Mr. Obama and Ms. Fowler that it was the ancestors of those small town, gun toting, religion clinging western Pennsylvanians who died by the thousands at Gettysburg, a victory after many defeats, as part of the 1st Pennsylvania, that gave Mr. Obama the opportunity to run for president today. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/now_i_remember.html#comment-71879 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/now_i_remember.html#comment-71879 Sat, 12 Apr 2008 13:38:45 -0600 Dude..you beat me to it. I was writing an open letter to Mr. Obama. I am bitter...about having to listen to these people every election cycle telling me what a backward idiot I am. I'll save mine for tomorrow. Keep the pressure on as it were. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/now_i_remember.html#comment-71877 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/now_i_remember.html#comment-71877 Sat, 12 Apr 2008 13:14:11 -0600 Obama is worse than just an eloquent empty suit lacking actual executvie ability. He is also just flat wrong in everything he says, not matter how swell it sounds at the time. This time he just slipped up and revealed his true disdain for Americans and traditional American values. Voting against him (or the Hildabeast) is intuitive and an event to be enjoyed. However, it will still require a great deal of effort to actually vote for McCain who suffers from nearly as many faults as his donkey-swine opponents. Must-try-harder..... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/now_i_remember.html#comment-71875 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/now_i_remember.html#comment-71875 Sat, 12 Apr 2008 11:39:02 -0600 This is my rifle, this is my gun...and I know the difference. My favorate is a Browning over and under 20ga used for birds. I became a Barry Goldwater Publican just after LBJ said "Merican boys ain't gonna fight Asian wars". Well I was American and in Asia and on some occasions people were trying to shoot my young a$$. As the product of two County Committee Democrats this was a shock to the home front. Before they passed, they both joined me on the American Republican side. Mr Barack's view isn't new. The Dems have been looking at us like that for a long time. Oh yeah...I live in Blue State New Jersey where it gets real lonely being a gun shootin Publican. But I have hope. There is my grandchildren to corrupt. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/now_i_remember.html#comment-71874 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/now_i_remember.html#comment-71874 Sat, 12 Apr 2008 10:25:32 -0600 cling" to the guns.....sounds kind of erotic. Maybe I have to rethink this gun thing. You have every kind of gun there you say.....and a spa......hmmmmm....]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/now_i_remember.html#comment-71872 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/04/now_i_remember.html#comment-71872 Sat, 12 Apr 2008 08:47:18 -0600
