Pip…

When you visit the Governor…don’t be wearing the Orange Jump Suit…then you won’t be left “holdin’ the bag.” Of course I’d rather be “holding the bag” right now than “dropping the soap” around Gov. Dave with the current revenue crisis and all. By the time he gets done with us…our designer wardrobes will carry the “Hefty Bag” label.

Unc…good advice…I hope ol’ Earmark stores all his faxes to .pdf…cause I plan on depleting his fax paper inventory over the course of the next several days. They have to be saving them as .pdf’s…if not they are wasting our tax dollars and killing a lot of trees…oh the carbon offset humanity! I actually call his office on my days off…I am afraid Ben is going to sell out to ObamaCare. Last week he and Harry Reid were not on the same page re: states opting in and opting out. They contradicted each other which tells me ol’ Ben waffles more than IHOP and he is believing his own lies to justify his vote. We are doomed.

The only reason I got an invite was I paid good Yankee money to hear him talk at a “Meet and Greet”. They allowed me to ask one question from the garage. I asked about the obvious partisanship infecting our nonpartisan Unicameral. He said it might have appeared that way, but they all get along. Before I could get another one off, they told me to grab a trash bag, and start cleaning up. Damn tough being a Democrat in the Third, any more.

I recommend bib “over-hauls” … that way you can put your chew in the bib pocket, and carry a Bud long-neck in the pliers pocket. I would also suggest going commando to keep them nether parts fully aerated.

I have apparently fallen out of favor with Guv Dave since I switched my voter registration to “nonpartisan”. He doesn’t write … he doesn’t call … I’m shattered.

Would a swift kick in the ass, or a sharp toe in the ol tea bag be a little too much? I had a hunting buddy once that owned a Chesapeake Bay retriever. The only way he got it’s attention was a 3′ 2×4 upside its thick haid. (not head) Might be a little extreme, but if it works?

By the way, boys. I just got my invitation to attend the Gov’s tailgate party at his house before the K-State game. I’m guessing between you, Unk, and One Out, you guys might be able to give me some thought on proper attire for a Gov’s soiree? Should I carry my Copenhagen in a pants pocket or shirt pocket?

I hate to say it Unk, but your Nanookie of the North may be a One Hit Wonder by 2012. The more she talks, the more this country walks…….away. Her undoing will not come from the fact she walked away from her state when it needed her most, her undoing will come from a 19 year old kid who was the shining star on the GOP stage one year ago. That confused young man that was accepting complete responsibility for his action has finally become that SOB who knocked up my daughter. Our country thrives on hyperbole and half truths, and Levi is about to drop a bomb on Palin.

As far as the party stuff, I’m with you. No one ever said a Democracy was right. The winner simply has more ballots than the loser. A Democracy is always a wonderful form of government so long as you are on the winning side.

The conservatives have no right to complain. They lost. When they were in control, they did nothing. Now they are losers, and they have done even less. The Dems will be out in three or seven years, and the cycle will repeat itself.

I’ve said it before, “Term limits of two terms. The first term in gubmint, the second term in prison.”

Oh…

A 2002 Olds…she is Scott Kleeb…drivin’ the ol’ beater around meetin’ the folks. I should be horse-whipped for not reading deeper. Why do they always make references about their car?

Someone from western Nebraska versed in doublespeak…now that’s a rarity. I thought the only one’s west of Gothenburg that spoke it were car dealers.

I am sure she was active in Nebraska politics from inception to the time she left Alliance the day after she graduated from high school. She’s just another Kleebite. With the limited funds she has she might consider dumping her Subaru and purchase Ol’ Speed Racer’s ranch-tested F-150 to make her rounds.

I am looking forward to the “Willa Cather” pose once she starts politicking in the eastern part of the Third. Don’t let the pretty face fool you.

Uncle…you have posted another truth nugget.

Very thorough analysis, UW. She seems a bit liberal on some key issues, but makes Kleeb look like an amateur at tricking wary Nebraskans.

I’d ask who was backing her, but Steve’s comment makes clear she must be financing her own campaign so far. The biggest problem I can see for her is her party affiliation.

I recently looked up the fundraising reports from opensecrets (http://www.opensecrets.org/races/summary.php?id=NE03&cycle=2010) and it would appear Ms. Davis has her work cut out for her. Rep. Smith has more than $350,000 cash on hand, while Ms. Davis has less than $3,000.

Beatsahellouttame … Ol’ Joe gots his own ideas about how the County Assessor’s office is suppose to be run I guess. He sure isn’t shy about sharing stats with the Hub … see http://kearneyhub.com/news/local/article_661bad84-932e-11de-8a9c-001cc4c03286.html

Mebbe the Independent stepped on his pet snake or something ….
