DOES SPITZER NEED "HOOKER CREDITS"?
March 11, 2008 -
March 17, 2008
New York Governor Eliot Spitzer desperately needs a creative way out of his scandalous interlude with a high-priced prostitute in an exclusive Washington, D.C. hotel. News that he paid $4,000, plus train tickets, cab fare, mini bar and room service, travel time and hotel, for a Valentine’s Eve flurry of fun, have placed his political career (and presumably marriage) in jeopardy. Fortunately, he can follow the Al Gore “global warming” formula for cleansing his record.
Al Gore, in his mad dash to profiteer from global warming, has helped develop the “carbon credit” industry which allows those who want to pollute-at-will to simply buy forgiveness for their destructive impact on the planet. The “carbon credit” offset scheme essentially lets individuals and companies purchase the non-polluting activities of others to balance out their own excesses.
In other words, if I am causing twice the “acceptable” level of harm to the environment and you are causing only half of the same level of harm, I can “buy” your positive environmental impact to offset my negative impact. Between the two of us we will “balance” out. The best part of the deal, at least for Al Gore, is that he and some of his buddies are getting fabulously wealthy from this scam while yet other celebrity “Friends of Al” have the opportunity to pretend to care about the environment without undertaking the actual burden of changing their lifestyles.
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is just the latest high-profile “green activist” to use “carbon credits” as an excuse for his environmentally damaging behavior. The self-proclaimed “green Governor” flies his private Gulfstream jet home to Los Angeles from Sacramento each day, so he can sleep in his own mansion.
The $10,000 an hour cost of the flight is picked up by the Governator rather than taxpayers of California, but the damage to the environment from these daily roundtrip flights is massive! In fact each of these daily trips consumes as much fuel as the average family car uses in a year! Schwarzenegger, through his staff, has explained away his apparent hypocrisy by noting that the Governor has purchased “carbon credits” to balance out his environmental excesses.
This is exactly what Eliot Spitzer should do! He needs to find someone who does not patronize prostitutes at all. Ever! By paying “hooker credits” to this other guy he could balance out his seemingly inexcusable behavior with the higher plane of morality lived by someone else. There are plenty of monogamous men who would happily accept a $4,000 payment from Governor Spitzer anytime he feels the need to pay a similar sum to “go kinky” with a call girl. Imagine getting paid four grand for simply NOT having sex with a hooker!
Perhaps Al Gore can expand his “carbon credit” business to help folks like Spitzer out. “Hooker-Credits-R-Us” would be just the thing for Spitzer and other politicos, preachers and business types who want to play for pay while loudly condemning the rapid decline of American morality.

IS A GORE SCENARIO EMERGING? -

March 15, 2008
As the number of Democrat delegates available in the remaining state primaries and caucuses dwindles down, the likelihood that neither Hillary Clinton nor Barack Obama will be able to secure the delegates needed to claim the nomination before the Democratic Convention in late August increases. Numerous factors complicate the issue, but none is more divisive than the controversy over potential delegates from Michigan and Florida. The fact that those two states also loom large as swing states in t... |

CAN THE ER STRATEGY SAVE HILLARY? -

Hillary Clinton’s campaign for the presidency is on life support. After a rash of victories for Barack Obama, including a sweep of primaries in Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia, the two candidates find themselves in a virtual dead heat in the delegate count. But all the momentum is on Barack’s side, and Hillary must now make a desperation play for the delegate-rich states of Ohio and Texas that are up for grabs on March 4. So, what cards does she have left to play?

ROOTS OF REPUBLICAN DISCONTENT. -

February 11, 2008
Republicans expecting to wake up the morning after Super Tuesday with their presidential field winnowed down awoke with a hangover of post-Fat Tuesday proportions. Instead of clarity Republicans have a more muddled situation than ever. With John McCain, Mitt Romney and John McCain splitting victories Tuesday all three may be unable to secure enough delegates to win the Republican nomination prior to the Convention in Minnesota.
Putative front-runner McCain, for example, must capture a... |

A combative President George W. Bush gave his final State of the Union Speech Monday night. After rolling over for excessive and wasteful spending fostered by Republican majorities in the House and Senate during his first six years in office he finally found his veto pen and promised to use it.
Bush called for a major crack-down on the pork barrel practices of Congress, saying he will veto any spending bill that does not cut in half the number and cost of congressional pet projects, kno... |

LASTING IMPRESSIONS. -

January 27, 2008
When Fred Thompson first opened the door to a potential race for President last March he generated unbridled enthusiasm from many conservatives throughout the country. Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was sitting on a significant lead in most national polls and the media was anointing him as the Republican nominee. Possessing a gruff, no-nonsense style, movie star celebrity and solid conservative credentials, Thompson was seen as perhaps the only one who could stop Rudy from winning.
