Huckabee appears to be a rerun tonight, meaning that the impersonator episode was probably shelved. Greta must have seen something she really did not like. At least, that's my theory. Or it could just be put off for a week.
I don't really care about all of this, to be honest with you. I never watch his lame show anyway.

Heffalump Congress - updated
I was thinking about moderate voters today. About centrists. People who would be less apt to vote for a Tea Party candidate, but who aren't comfortable with the radical left-shift that our current Congress has taken. Here's my message to those who want a centered government.
You want Congress to be more moderate? Vote for a "right-wing extremist."
Think of it like a teeter-totter.
Okay, say the big fat Heffalump represents the current make-up of our Congress. (If it was an elephant, you could say it represents the GOP, but it's not; it's a Heffalump.) One-sided, to say the least.
Now, you're in the middle. You want a more balanced and centrist Congress, therefore you would vote for a more centrist candidate. Have you really thought that through?
Say that a bunch of centrists get in there and sit squarely in the middle of the teeter-totter. Think back to your elementary days. Would that really do anything to change the balance?
Nope. You'd still have a Heffalump Congress.
How do you balance it out? Why, you put weight on the Tigger end, of course.
Some of these Tea Party candidates have things in their platforms that I don't agree with. For instance, doing away with the Fed. I'm all for auditing it, but I have my doubts about doing away with it completely.
However, I have no problem voting for an 'abolish the Fed' candidate because we need that to counteract the radical Leftist agenda that's running rampant in Congress right now. We need some weight on the Tigger side.
If we get enough to counteract the Heffalump, guess where we'll be?
Balanced, or (dare I say) more centrist. Checking and balancing each other.
That's my theory, anyway. Maybe an incredibly dumb theory. Hey, I had to do something with that cute Winnie the Pooh picture.
Update - My stats say people keep clicking on this post. Why? You're freaking me out. ;-)
Didn't know Winnie the Pooh was so interesting.

How to Talk to a NObama Cultist Pt. 1
From the 2008 election season, June 19th, to be exact. It's a series worth revisiting:
I'll post the entire series over the next week or so.

Restoring Honor
When Congress passed Obamacare and then accused us of being oh-so-wrong because we got mad about it, that's when I said I would be going to 8-28, Beck's rally at the Lincoln Memorial. But after a month or so and a look at my bank account, I decided to forget that.
Then I made the mistake of listening to his radio program a few times, and I caught the fever yet again. So... I'm going. I have no idea what the rally will entail, I've never been to DC before in my life, so this should be interesting. If you never hear from me again, I got lost wandering around somewhere.
The other day, I heard Beck say something about people canceling because they were afraid.
Afraid of what? Some stupid black panther guy? What's there to be afraid of? What are you, men or mice?

Shirley Sherrod - UPDATE
I just heard on the radio that Sherrod is going to sue Andrew Breitbart. For what? Termination? That was her boss's fault. Possibly slander, but in the same video Shirley engaged in slander of her own, calling Republicans and Tea Partiers racist.
I think Andrew should have waited for the full tape, don't misunderstand me. I was online when he first released it. I remember him being shocked when she got fired. He said from the very beginning that it wasn't about her. But the media has their victim now.
Shirley once sued the government and took home a nice fat paycheck.
UPDATE:
Video from Newsy. (ht/Andrew)
Oh, brother. Lady, you got fired. Sorry about that, but Breitbart did not put out that video because he's racist. He didn't do it because he hates that you're black, okay? Good grief, I am so sick of this garbage.
He put it out because the Tea Parties have been smeared as racists for the past two years, culminating in the NAACP condemnation. Someone then sent Breitbart that clip, which he posted. At the time of posting, he said that it was not the full clip, that he was trying to get the full clip, and it wasn't about you.
Again, he should have waited to ensure accuracy and context. He'll sure do it in the future. But he wasn't targeting you. It was about the NAACP, and, quite frankly, he said it was more about the reaction of those listening to your story, laughing along as you told it, not knowing that you were building up to a turning point.
And now that you've been smeared as a racist, maybe you'll think twice before you accuse entire parties and groups of people of it again yourself.
Ugh. Enough of this. Whatever sympathy I had for Shirley Sherrod is evaporating fast.
