Once again, the power of the Nanepashemet Blog is not to be denied.
~
Was Scott Brown not endorsed by Nanepashemet over a week ago????
~
Did Scott Brown not take this "Kennedy Seat" election running away????
~
I rest my case.
~
With great power comes great responsibility. Even though it is obvious that Nanepashemet tipped the scales for Brown, rest assured I will use this power prudently and wisely.
~
When is John Kerry's term up anyway?

At 9:15 PM last night the Democrats in Washington got their wake-up call from the Park Plaza Hotel and the rest of us got to party with Senator Scott Brown. Please weild your N-Power for Charlie Baker to make the same thing happen in November.

Voice of the People
Just left the polls in mid morning. It was packed with voters. The people are speaking.
~
Thank God we live in a society where the people have an impact.
~
Even if the hapless, misguided Democrats win this seat, this outpouring of citizenship has been inspiring.
~
My head tells me that Scott Brown will win this going away. But I've been wrong before.... once or twice.
Kerry D'Orio said....
I agree. It was nice to young people at the polls exercising their right to vote!

- If you are of a mind, continue to contribute to Brown, the machine will cry fowl and the SEIU thugs are shameless. Lawyers are the next call. We are kicking ass at 9 pm
Major Milestone
Today is slated to be a milestone day.
~
Obama gets a huge message that his policies are polarizing rather than bringing the country together. Hopefully he takes the hint.
~
But by far, the most important milestone is that the Nanepashemet Blog will be hit for the 70,000th time today. That's alot of reaching out in angst, anxiety and inspiration. I certainly hope that you received the solace/vengeance that you were seeking when you went to this Blog 70k times over the past three years or so.

Scott Brown is just frosting on the cake.

Rockett's Hat in the Ring
~
First Brown, then Rockett.
~
Things are starting to look up politically.
~
If this trend continues, I just might register as a Republican. Been an Independent for too long.
~
But watch Mike. He has a lot of creativity, and knows how to get things accomplished. He won't be a Selectman for long.... I'd love to see him take that upcoming Kerry seat.
Hopeless Obsession
Just sat through George Stephanopoulos and Diane Sawyer throwing in the towel on the Mass US Senate race, and lamenting the loss of the Health Bill. So much for objective journalism.
~
I don't know who is more pathetic... these ABC News Liberal puppets or me for watching them. I know that I'm pathetic for a number of other reasons, but this is just one of them.
~
But even if they are shills for the elitist Liberal thought police, it still was cool seeing them report that Washington is gearing up to take the hit.
~
Soon this Blog can get off of the obsession with seeing the good guys spit in the eye of the entitlement crowd, and write about some really relevant topics.... like building the Marblehead Gunning Dory, or .... how the Democrats really piss me off.
~
Sorry. It's freaking hopeless.

Presidential Desperation
Just 1500 people to see Obama with Coakley in Boston. Plus, without a teleprompter, he forgot he was in Massachusetts. I kid you not... it was on Fox last night.
~
Meanwhile a couple of thousand including "Yankee Fan" Curt Schilling and Doug Flutie were out in Worcester with Brown.
~
President Obama has been in office for one year. The discontent of the Massachusetts electorate, in making a close race of the seat vacated by Ted Kennedy, should be a clear message to him that he has to change course.

- His economic stimulis package is a bureaucratic boondoggle.
- The war in Iraq and Afghanistan rages on.
- 10% of the people here are out of work.
- His Health Plan is a Democratic pork barrel.

Outlook Adjustment
Next Year
I got a 20.6 mile workout in on the Cybex for one hour. That's probably the toughest cardio workout that I've had in the last 20 years or so. At least on purpose. There were the mountain hikes that got a little out of hand that were probably tougher.
~
And I ate well, so the times this week where I fell off the wagon were properly responded to. I think that closed the week a bit under the calorie budget. Still on track with the weight loss plan, but it's only been 17 days. I'm giving myself the whole freaking year to lose these sixty pounds, and I'm not looking for anything to happen instantly.
~
So get off my back. One day you'll be ready to call me "Big Guy" and it just won't be freaking valid. But that won't next week or next month. It will be next year.

Conscience Examination
A naive and misguided Peep admonished me to "examine my conscience" this morning.... ostensibly because of the Senate Race stand of this venerable, yet pathetic Nanepashemet Blog..
~
Fair Enough.
~
Man, was that a mistake.... there's a lot of crazy assed shit in my conscience that I have no interest in unpacking. It's a scary place, and I don't like to go there.
~
But right there on one of the lower shelves was a clear indication that we should vote for Brown. Especially after the slur against Curt Schilling. For God sakes Martha, he freaking bled against the Yankees. How could you!!!!

- Typical liberal know it all and deep feeler, claiming the moral high ground. Sounds like a priest, you know, the ones who forgave all the sins and were adored by the sanctimonious, but were playing around with little boys. "Examine your conscience, John". Liberals are so goddamned arrogant and condescending, as if they are the only one's with a conscience. Bet this Higher Authority belongs to a book club and is, "well, if I must reveal it, quite frankly, oh willickers, I am in MENSA you know. Lovey, you know how cocktail sauce troubles my acid reflux - lets go with the watercress sandwich". No principles, just lines from the encounter group or therapist. Sounds like someone has mommy issue.
POTW Week Two of 2010
I've been so aggravated by the Senate Race that I almost forgot the POTW selections this week. Talk about political fallout! That would have been a true crisis.
Pray for the unfortunate Haitians.

Building Codes
When you see the media coverage of the rubble of shanties in Haiti, you have to wonder what the building codes are like down there, and whether this type of carnage could have been avoided with a different standard of construction.
~
Eyewitnesses have said that the actual quake went on for about 3 seconds, then the buildings came crashing down. I'd like to think that my house wouldn't come apart after being shook for 3 seconds.
~
We should donate to the Haitians, but when they rebuild their communities, I hope they build in some lessons learned.

Manipulation Mutilation
I know that I have been obsessing lately about the United States Senate race. But this thing has really hit my hot button... you know... the button that gets pushed when people try to manipulate others by lies and deceit.
~
I'll admit that I'm really in an uncomfortable state of agitation.
~
Some of the attack ads are sent in by national interests who have keyed in on this race, and those ads can't be blamed on the candidates.... except for the one that starts with "I'm Martha Coakley, and I approve this message." Then the ad goes on to depict a women who ostensibly has just been raped.
~
As my friend, Harvey, has said, "You can't make this stuff up." But it looks like Martha is trying to. But ultimately the manipulation will turn to self mutilation.
