I see my rank is in the tank this week.
I see for only the 4th time in about 19 weeks, the dominance of the SDWC in the South Dakota Blogosphere is wavering. From Blognetnews.com, I see that SouthDaCola.com is kicking my butt.
Unfortunately, over the past week I’ve actually had to put in considerable time at my day job(s). And I needed to close out the auction books for the sale I did on the 26th. So, sorry blogosphere. Our illicit affair has suffered momentarily, and I’ve let another suitor distract you for your attentions.
*sniff* I promise to do better. I’ll do an abortion post at least once this week. I’ll say something completely obnoxious and offensive. To blazes with a personal and professional life. I know what’s important. This magical internet as created by Al Gore. I’ll capture your imagination once more.
You’ll be back. I know you will.

“This magical internet as created by Al Gore.”
It may be a magical internet, but must you keep reporting the implication that Al Gore lied about creating the internet? Gore never did say that. He is credited with being a supporter of making the internet better and available to us common folk. This still indicates the power of the great GOP lie repeat, repeat, repeat machine to fool some of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time.
Doug:Wake up! Algore did too say he invented the internet, plus Love Story was made based on his and Tipper’s life.
Liberals lie so much they think it is the truth!
Doug, you are correct that he didn’t say “invent” but said “create”.
Create: Bring into existence
Invent: Make something for a the first time
“During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet.”
Al Gore in interview with Wolf Blitzer on March 9, 1999

Please provide a site of legislation he sponsored (not co-sponsored as that would deny his use of the word “initiative”) “making the internet better and available”. The big lie is that he was anything more than a average supporter among many in Congress.
The quote is on par with:
Bill Clinton: “I never had sexual relations with that woman” and “Depends on what ‘is’ is.”
Hilary Clinton: “I remember landing under sniper fire.”
Barack Obama: “We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.”
Bill Buddy,
Where you been? Hope all is well.
To answer your question, George Will reminded me of this quote of Disraeli about Gladstone:
“A sophistical rhetorician, inebriated with the exuberance of his own verbosity, and gifted with an egotistical imagination that can at all times command an interminable and inconsistent series of arguments to malign an opponent and to glorify himself.”
Hey Bill, welcome back.
To add to Troy’s comments. Obama’s quote is an elitist comment from someone who is supposed to be for the weak and poor. Those who read the quote as visionary are looking at it through ‘rose colored glasses’ and don’t give his implications much thought.
Hey PP run a piece on Planned Parenthood, on how many children they exterminate every year and that they are closed. That really gets people fired up.
Actually if you did have a picture of the front door, are they open for business?
Troy, Guy, thanks.
I took a month off.
Is “We the people, in order to form a more perfect union…” arrogant and self-aggrandizing? (i.e. did Ben Franklin wear rose colored glasses?)
I take Barack’s message as one urging us to pull ourselves up by our own bootstraps.
No?
Bill:
Hope your health is okay! Kind of missed you. Obama’s message changes everyday so it is tough to know which position he is for now.
Pretty soon he will be for drilling more oil, gun rights, pro life, less taxes, and to top it all off he probably will be for less Government.
Pat,
Your site wouldn’t open on explorer with any of my computers for two whole days–no wonder your hits are in the tank!
Did everyone have trouble opening your site until you took down the Raising McCain song?
I’m not sure it wasn’t the sitemeter problem which has been resolved in the interim.
(Another good reason to use Firefox.)

















Looks like Sibby is kicking your butt also.
