Fire it Up!

I wouldn’t necessarily want Mike Gravel running the country, but here’s one of the reasons I love the guy…

Strickland

Some recent state governing has been offsetting the sadness of the Federal level for the past few months, thanks to Ted Strickland working closely with conservatives. After Ohio was sued by the Ohio Tobacco Prevention Foundation because they weren’t given any of the money the state got from a settlement with tobacco companies, the governor signed legislation to abolish the organization. Most of that money will go to a much-needed new state jobs fund. Of course, it isn’t all good news for private businesses, as the smoking ban fines are doubling. That probably won’t matter much since many of the businesses who were affected by the ban have either closed shop or utilized some sort of outside patio for smokers. Some bars are standing up for their rights and still fighting the good fight.

Thanks to a new bill in the works, Ohioans can rest easy when blowing criminals’ heads off. Strickland will more than likely sign legislation expanding CCW laws, protecting gun owners from being sued by intruders and a few other pointless regulations regarding guns in cars. It’s been fittingly labeled the “Castle Doctrine,” and what a sweet sound those words make.

Strickland has officially made it impossible for me to lump every Democrat into the category of “liberal that loves to complain, offers no solutions and rejects and judges someone’s every move because they are a member a different group.”

Write-in Revolution

Ron Paul’s new book The Revolution hit number one at Amazon this week. This would be a good time for the RP faithful to plan a July 4th “Get Out the Write-in Vote” message for his seemingly never-ending campaign. After all, there isn’t really going to be a good candidate on the ballot anyway.

Paul is Dead.

To those few folks that read my blog, all the hyperbole posted regarding Ron Paul’s greatness could easily be perceived as me believing the man is infallible. Politically speaking, that wouldn’t be far from the truth. I’ve never agreed on as many things with a politician as I do with RP, let alone someone running for the highest office. He has the best message of them all and throughout his political career he’s shown that he stands behind his principles, however much he would actually have to mangle them if by some strange chance in hell he ever did become president.

Naivete aside, it’s nice to see someone, as Bono misapplied years ago, fucking up the mainstream. RP is scaring the Fox Newsites so bad that they’re (still) Drudgeing up any kind of garbage they can get on the guy. This, of course, on a day in which Paul is expected to finish relatively strong in the New Hampshire primary. Good to see his campaign staff is finally on the ball, too. The ABC debate Saturday was equally bittersweet. They pounded and mocked the man for using logic and stating the truth, their typical bullying no doubt dissuading many undecided NH independents from backing the GOP.
