It appears that 2 people won Mega-Millions on Friday. Some lone individual in Florida will be taking showers with over 500 million dollars (before taxes I believe) and I, with many others, won our own lottery. The biggest and most contested race at the convention was the Lt. Governor’s race. Everyone one had their opinion and favorite candidate, as I had mine. One thing for sure, Jeannemarie Davis was knocked out on the first vote, as was delegates intentions. Republicans are getting back to principles again (sort of) and purging those with questionable conservative credentials. JD is bad on gun rights (Yes, I said rights) and was dealt with accordingly. How it should be.

A field of seven took 4 votes to determine a winner by the rules. 2 at a vote were knocked off until a clear winner ensued. Funny thing is, all 4 votes proved one winner by a 2 to 1 margin or better, yet 50% + 1 was necessary. Go figure. Voting started at 1pm yet a winner wasn’t announced until 10:30 pm. There was some “glitches” of which I don’t want to speculate on, which caused a great time lapse between votes. With idle time comes boredom and the paper airplane air force engineers plied their trade. One guy really knew his craft. It so offended the convention staff that an announcement was made to cease, because of the chance of an airplane destroying one of the gazillion dollar trin-a-tron TV screens. What this did do is help speed the vote process, which I was thankful for. I believe Va. blue laws don’t allow voting on Sunday (I just made that up).

Bottom line is, a non-establishment outsider won. His name is E. W. Jackson. It disturbed those who wanted a party “insider” to hold the slot but this time the system worked. With some poutiness and bruised egos from other candidates, a real champion for the people, who hasn’t been tainted by the system, will go up against the D and I candidate. The D candidate will be whatever sucker they can find that is willing to be humiliated in the public forum and the I candidate will be someone from a town of population 2000 who hopes he/she can get votes from family members and have something to tell the grandbabies.

Although long, it was a good time seeing good friends and some unexpected old acquaintances. Many there applied their right of gun carry and no one was in fear of anything. Well, almost anyway. It seems that Eric Cantor was there to provide words to members attending Friday night’s dinner (supper for Southerners) and he was caught in the convention area RACING, with his contingent of armed protection plus one State Trooper, down the hall, probably looking for the safety of his armored Featherlite (in this case feather HEAVIER) where he could re-compose himself. This squish has a fear that people are out to do him harm. Thorozine might be of some use here. Maybe a day of reflection and looking in the mirror might help resolve his issues. With this type fear, guilt is usually a driving force. His day of political theatre is coming to an end. Other than that, I return unscathed back to you, albeit someone tired and a bit achy. I am really psyched over the outcome of this convention. The future of Va. is in very strong and capable hands if we win the day at election. I know many of you will be doing your part for our future. I will be.

This is Cole’s Axiom at work.

You ever met that northern that comes down to the South, sees the way things are done and says, “you’re doing it wrong. This is the way we do it up north.” Well meet John Flannery who is a product of public education and its history. He comes to practice law here. Why, no one knows. Being as how he is so ignorant on issues and history, I feel he’s a very poor lawyer, concocting boogeymen to get his criminal clients freed by political correctness. I liken people like this to sleazy ambulance chasers trying to make a name. It appears that Yankee John is also trying to make a name for himself.

What troubles him about the statue is its representation: in his mind it represents “slavery, dis-Union (sorry, I’m not familiar with that term) and illegal secession”. His words. Now I’m sure, back home in New York, there was no statue or monument in front of the courthouse because it would have been stolen and sold for scrap. But if Yankee John had done ANY research, he would find those type statues all over the US at courthouses. And I’m sure too those monuments offend some lower class of uneducated idiots also. Didn’t use to but now it does. Funny how that works.

Slavery, bigotry and racism is the new boogeyman, enhanced by other Yankee lunatics that are in the government. Matter of fact, what has been decreased over 150 years has now been ramped up to levels prior to the War of Northern Aggression. Yes, that is what started the war. Invasion by the US government into the South after Southern states declared their independence from the north. And that statue commemerates those brave men who fought for their home, their state and their Southern way of living. No “illegal secession” there.

Sleazy, inept lawyers usually look for a way to get easy cash and notoriety because they are second rate hacks, lazy and without integrity. Don’t know if that is the case here but I will leave you with Paladin and his “take” on the issue.

Oh, someone turned over a rock and some skeletons fell out of the e-mail closet. One lone voice and determined individual named Steve Hayes of the Weekly Standard just refused to let this thing rest, especially after the administration continues to voice “nothing new here” (along with Juan Williams–what an absolutely clueless asshole….kinda like BlackOut). Well it was a good thing he didn’t but also read what it cost the American people to get this information. I hate this deal bullshit. Regardless, the ball moves forward and Obama’s head gets closer to exploding. Hillary is looking awful skanky on this issue too. When the final whistle blowers come forward, I have the feeling we will have some Nixonesque statement like ” you want have Obama around to miss anymore hoop shots” or “now my golf handicap will final go down and you suckers will still be paying for it”. I would like to see him in an orange jumpsuit myself but that probably won’t happen. But we can ship his White House bust back to his brother George in Kenya. It is a damn good thing that un-buttered popcorn isn’t fattening.

Two things. I told you there was more and people in intelligence were lying (or being stifled as it comes to light) from the very beginning. Second, I wish BE would stop pouting and come back so that I could tell him he was wrong. Maybe he is already working on his humility but I doubt it.

Tea Party, conservative, constitutionalist, patriot, anti-dictatorial government,…….pick the heading. If you aren’t for socialism and this administration then you are a target of the IRS. Now if this story is true, Obama says he is outraged and wants to get to the bottom of this when all the facts are in. Yes, that is the sound of crickets. When will his head pop from the lies. The IRS is a “separate” entity and he has no control over it. What does he have control over? When will he know ANYTHING that goes on in HIS government? And they say that this has nothing to do with politics. Then why are they picking on people/groups that are in opposition to his political party and his political views? The IRS, that will work Obamacare for all Americans and have access to your bank accounts, is supposedly an “impartial” agency of government.. Not so much, especially when you have a member of Congress, who now leads the investigation, prompting the IRS to do exactly what it did! Would this be a conflict of interest or just another way to ensure passing the blame off? I don’t know but this is but another nail in Obama’s coffin. The buck stops at your desk, fool. Time to man up and take the blame…….and then resign. Hail, President Plugs Biden!

Do I feel the least bit sorry for the clowns (pick your poison here)? Not one stinking bit. Where was Justice when we had those classified leaks about the cyber worm in Iranian computers? The leak about Seal Team 6 on the bin Laden operation? And so many others. Where has the AP been on speaking out about the “injustices” of this administration? Fast and Furious? Benghazi? Where have any news source been on critical issues? Absent. So now the rats are starting to feed on their own kind while still alive. The implosions are just beginning and I got a new West Bend popcorn maker that I have been using daily for ballgames. Looks like I will be making extra batches from here on out. Carney won’t respond cause it is an ongoing criminal investigation. I’m still waiting for Carney’s head to explode, live on TV, while giving one of his Pinocchio tales. His washer only has “spin cycle” on its dial.

“[The] power to tax involves the power to destroy….” -Chief Justice John Marshall, McCulloch v. Maryland, 1819

In it’s taxing power, the FERAL government has taken to destroying individuals and organizations with which the Administration disagrees. This is not limited to the 0bama Administration. We know that the Nixon administration did it; we know that the Clinton administration did it; and probably every other administration since Nixon has too.

Without the income tax and thus the creation of tax-exempt organizations, no-one would care if pastors were campaigning from the pulpit. No-one would care if this TEA Party group campaigned for a candidate or not. No-one would care if the Sierra Club or Planned Parenthood gave money to candidates (except that Planned Parenthood gets money from the government).

It is not the government’s business what organizations I donate to, and the government should not be de facto supporting organizations though tax deductions. It is not the government’s business how many children we have, how old they are, or where they go to college. It is not the government’s business how much we make or how much we have saved.

It is past time to repeal the Sixteenth Amendment.
