Sharing my friends views and opinions with those unfortunate to not know them
Of course, if you only listen to Country, you don’t have much of an issue anyway, but here is a slideshow of folks in the entertainment industry who are conservatives or who have at least expressed some support for conservatives.

I was a bit surprised at some of the musicians who made the list.
Two good articles from the beginning of the week that I finally got around to reading. On a similar subject, yesterday I heard the disheartening result from a recent Rasmussen poll. Apparently 44% of those surveyed think that some form of socialism/redistributionism is not necessarily a bad thing. Lord help us when that number reaches 51%…

You can find the exchange between Obama and Joe in the Joe the Plumber video.
Another e-mail from my conservative friend this morning had some great insight.
Subject – The brass tacks of it
The simple explanation is usually the most effective. When making your choice (like there is one) between Obama and McCain … this speaks VOLUMES
At the DNC … the Obama supporters chanted O-BAM-A
At the RNC … the McCain supporters chanted U-S-A
Any questions?
This popular posting/email is a very good illustration of the mindset of liberals vs. conservatives.
I was talking to my friend’s little girl, and she said she wanted to be President some day. Both of her parents, very Liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, ‘If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?’
She replied, ‘I’d give houses to all the homeless people.’
‘Wow…what a worthy goal.’ I told her. ‘You don’t have to wait until you’re President to do that. You can come over to my house and mow, pull weeds, and sweep my yard, and I’ll pay you $50. Then I’ll take you over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward a new house.’
She thought that over for a few seconds while her Mom glared at me, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, ‘Why doesn’t the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?‘
And I said, ‘Welcome to the Republican Party.’
Her folks still aren’t talking to me.
The Large Hadron Collider at the CERN in Europe will open for business ,errrr – research tomorrow. Fourteen years in the makin
g, the LHC will start busting protons with hopes of finding the secret decoder ring to the universe inside.
Lawsuits abound about how these ‘vicious’ scientist might create an all consuming blackhole and end the presidentail election early. One of the funnier descriptions of possibilities to come out of smashing particles together is the creation of ‘strangelets’
He also is concerned that when the collider creates a soup of free-flying quarks, some of those quarks might recombine in a hazardous way — creating a stable, negatively charged “strangelet” that could turn everything it touches into more strangelets.
To give you an idea of what Strangelets have teh power of doing check out these before and after videos:
