Chaffetz Supporter Calls Me Today....

We have some prominent retail locations along the Wasatch Front where our company has allowed the Chris Cannon campaign to put up his signs. I received a terse call from a gentleman who decided that his candidate, "Mr. Second District" Chaffetz needed to have his signs up next to ours. I politely told the gentleman that we had endorsed Chris Cannon and that we would not be interested in allowing him to put up Chaffetz signs. The guy on the line huffed and I thanked him for his interest.

Is it just me, or don't property owners have the right to put up the campaign signs of their own choosing? Guess what? If I don't want your lousy sign in my yard I have the right to take it down.

"Hey! How come you won't put up my sign?"

We had a guy threaten to call the cops on us for taking down illegally posted signs (illegal because they put them up on our property without our permission). Of course we were popping down the Salt Lake County liberals and RINOs signs and the guy that stopped his car in the intersection was a poser with telamark skis and driving a Subaru Baja wagon (I'm certain he was on his way to meet his boyfriend). We finally had to tell this guy to leave or we were going to call the cops. He slithered away after we called him a poser and threw his signs at him.

The Passing of Tim Russert

Sad news today from Washington D.C. Tim Russert from NBC's Meet the Press died of an apparent heart attack today while doing some voice over work for his Sunday show. We watched Tim Russert each Sunday morning and felt that his work was second to none. A true old-school journalist who didn't take sides as the moderator. Fair and balanced as anyone. Our condolences to his wife, son, and family. We have lost a genuinely good man today.

Tim Russert

Yikes, why do I watch this crap!?!

Last night I watched Larry King "grill" (pun intended) his four guests about the economy and what we as Americans should do in light of $4.00 a gallon gasoline. Larry asks Barbara Corcoran, a self-proclaimed real estate expert what the average American should do to cope with the stiff gas prices. Her response: "Take equity out of your home and buy your neighbor's home that is facing foreclosure."

Moron

You know there is an idiot out there in a double wide yelling to his wife, "Hey, honey! Let's buy the neighbor's trailer before that truck from the bank comes to haul it away! That's what Florance Henderson says we should be doin' on the TV set!"

Why do I watch this garbage?

Easy way to make a little extra cash to fill up the tank

With gas hitting $4 a gallon this week and not having the opportunity to earn any overtime I turned to my blog to make a little extra money. It's simple and anyone with a blog can do it. It's also much less painful that donating plasma. (I saw a news story on that last week and it looked like as much fun as getting your teeth drilled. People are actually going to plasma donation centers twice a week to help pay for gas). I'm a wuss when it comes to pain. That's why I've decided to stick with what I know to be painless. It's called Pay Per Post and its great! You simply sign up with and write about the cool products and services they recommend. You get to select what you want to write about, so I write about the things I best understand and love to share with others. What could be cooler that than? It's great to learn about new products and services via Pay Per Post and then being able to share why it's so great with all my friends and family who read our blog.

How did I find out about Pay Per Post? I have a good friend at work who decided this would be a great way to earn some extra spending money and recommended that I get involved with Pay Per Post. This comes from a guy who knows the blogosphere and what's hot and what's not. He thinks it also a great place for stay at home moms to use their talants and writing skills to share the love with others. His wife has been sharing the good word with others for over a year and loves the friendships she's formed and the extra income she's earned. Another great aspect of this opportunity is that I can spend the amount of time I want to working on it. It often takes less than five minutes to share information about some great people. What better opportunity exists for busy moms than this? It's not the plasma center! I spoke with a few of my Sisters-in-law over the weekend about this too and they are excited to sign up and blog.

What are you waiting for? You'd have to be fool not to jump on board and share the love with your friends and family. To make some extra money its either this or stick a needle in your arm? What do you prefer? Do what I've done make a few bucks and blog with Pay Per Post!

3rd District Primary: Don't Vote Chaffetz

Like the Japanese Beetle, the invader from the North has shown up to eat its host and leave it worse off than it is. So it goes with Jason Chaffetz Jason Chaffetz. I don't have a problem with his politics. In fact, this registered Republican (don't laugh) in the 3rd district likes his platform better than
Chris Cannon. However, Cannon has one thing going for him that Chaffetz does not. Cannon lives in the 3rd district. Chaffetz lives in Alpine, outside the district he is supposed to represent. If Chaffetz is not willing to move to the 3rd district, then what else won't he do for the people who he represents?

Voters, be informed and don't vote for Chaffetz.

Finally, Huckabee does something worthwhile...

Huckabee helps choker with Heimlich

GREENSBORO, N.C. - Former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee put the squeeze on a politician at the North Carolina Republican Party convention, but in a good way.
The former Arkansas governor performed the Heimlich maneuver on Robert Pittenger, Republican candidate for lieutenant governor, at a lunch Saturday.
Pittenger said he was laughing when he choked on some food.

McCain: Obama means 2nd Carter Term

Here is a great zinger from McCain from MSNBC. Thanks to Mark Murray:

From NBC's Mark MurrayIn an interview to air later tonight on Nightly News, McCain tells NBC's Brian Williams that while Obama might criticize him for representing a third Bush term, Obama seems to be running for a second Carter term. Part of the transcript...
Williams: Is it going to be tough to run with an incumbent party for the White House, given this economic backdrop?
McCain: I-- I think it's-- it's tough. But I think the American didn't, people didn't get to know me yesterday. They know me. They know that I have fought for restraining spending, which Senator Obama has been a big part of, with earmarking (UNINTEL) projects. They know that I have been a strong fiscal conservative, and they know I understand the challenges that they face.
They need a little break from-- from their gasoline taxes, and they -- and they know that -- we've got to get spending under control. And we've got to become independent of foreign oil. Sen. Obama says that I'm running for a Bush's third terms. It seems to me he's running for Jimmy Carter's second. (LAUGHTER)

I couldn't of said it better myself.
