Political news and current events. How's life?
The Windows 7 Ultimate which I normally run caught some sort of nasty virus (?) the other day and I lost all of my files and I even lost the operating system. Naturally, I cannot find my Windows 7 disk, so I had to revert back to windows xp for the time being.
No posting from me for at least this day as I am still tweaking my computer. Have a great day folks!

I was going to write about all of those great attack ads that are now appearing on television sets in the state of Florida,but, when I ran across this story, I thought that it would be more interesting than reading about Charlie Christ, Mark Rubio, or the rest of the battlefield members. Plenty of time for those jerkoffs.
Orange County Fire Rescue spokesman John Mulhall says a crew responded to a 911 call Monday afternoon about a man bitten by a snake near a swimming pool at the J.W. Marriott Grande Lakes resort in Orlando.
The fire rescue crew found and killed the water moccasin after transporting Geisman to the hospital.
Geisman's sister-in-law tells the Orlando Sentinel that Geisman was bitten on the ankle as he was walking with his wife.
Lynn Arruda says her brother-in-law and his wife were visiting Orlando for a food management conference.
Maybe the snake thought he was supposed to take a little taste of the food himself?

….and that bit of info will probably piss the Tea Party group of fools off a little bit. That won’t make the GOP all that happy either,which means that they’ll have to revamp their election strategies and come up with some more inaccurate info to use against their Democrat rivals. That puts the FoxNews group into overtime.
But the NEWSWEEK Poll's most revealing finding is that despite months of media coverage insisting that voters are "mad as hell and not going to take it anymore," anger is unlikely to decide this year's elections. For starters, self-described angry voters constitute only 23 percent of the electorate, and there's no reason to believe that they're more likely to cast ballots in November than their calmer peers. Why? Because the percentage of angry voters who say they will definitely vote in the midterms is statistically indistinguishable from the overall percentage of voters who say the same thing (84 percent vs. 81 percent). In fact, majorities of voters say they would not be more likely to vote for candidates who express anger at Washington incumbents (60 percent), Wall Street bankers (52 percent), the illegal-immigration problem (53 percent), the Gulf of Mexico oil spill (65 percent), or health-care reform (55 percent). Fifty-three percent of voters see Obama's unemotional approach to politics—his "coolness"—as a positive, versus only 39 percent who don't.

…as of Fridays polling results conducted by RasmussenReports, one of the finer polling organizations in the country. New comer Rick Scott (R) is holding a very slight lead over political pro and Democrat Alex Sink.
A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in Florida finds Scott with 46% of the vote, while Sink’s support stands at 41% when leaners are included. Five percent (5%) favor some other candidate in the race, and seven percent (7%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
That’s little changed from Scott’s six-point edge a week ago, but enough to move the race back from Leans Republican to Toss-Up in the Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 Gubernatorial Scorecard. At the beginning of September, the candidates were essentially tied.
What a choice to choose from! A former top dog at a healthcare corporation who somehow managed to avoid being convicted of fraud against the government, and a woman who just doesn’t get it either when it comes to what the working people of the state really need.
The campaign theme on both side are more “tax cuts” and less government spending. Where have you heard that shit before?
“None of the above” may be my choice this election season.
