It was not a pick me-me-me as your leader rally. It was not even a king-making event. It was not a Hollyweird production. It was not a Republican red thing. It was not a Democrat blue thing. And despite an irrational deep-seated hatred for Glenn Beck which extremist Progressive Liberals used as fuel, for never-ending attempts at derailing what was basically an oversized group-hug – Glenn Beck helped thousands-upon-thousands of USAmericans come together for a Red, White & Blue Moment! Good for him!

A Red White and Blue Group Hug
Team Philobluster in Stealth Debate Mode
It is generally accepted in political circles that if you wish potentially damaging news to be in stealth mode – you release it on a Friday, since Friday-after-5 PM is considered weekend party time. Early Saturday morning I signed on to Al Gore’s Internet invention and read a Quad City Online article -originally posted at 7:23 PM Friday, by local Democrat Politburo cheerleader Brandy Donaldson- stating that incumbent Congressman Phil Hare would finally accept the open debate challenge from challenger Bobby Schilling. Hmmm, Friday night is prep football night for many families, travel night for families gone fishing and time to embarrass ourselves for us singles. Friday night after 7 PM is not a time to attract readers for prime news. By the time most people see the news it will be buried deep among trivial pursuits. So considering the time release of the article –red-lights started flashing and warning bells started ringing!!! Why would a sitting Democrat Congressman and his squires inside the media, in a district gerrymandered heavily in favor of Democrat candidates; try and slip this important bit of news under the news radar??? It sounds like Team Philobluster is in TGIF News mode!!!
Phil Hare has proven time and time again when confronted by cameras and questions, where Phil can’t sing and dance his normal programmed party puppet routine, Phil comes out looking CLUELESS! We have discussed Philobluster’s floundering camera personality in numerous exchanges over on Quad City Examiners blog. Phil Hare does not do the open-discussion Hope-and-Change speech very well. So why are his handlers and the local Democrat Party Politburo gambling that they can keep Philobluster from coming across like his normal useless toady persona in a debate. Another interesting factor about the Hare proposed debates, are that they are timed like a desperate Hail Mary Pass, right before the elections. Strange as that leaves little time for spin and clean-up of the fan dispersed bullshit following the debate. I realize that Philobluster’s seat in Congress has steadily slipped from solidly in the Democrat totals until now it is considered at risk to the Republicans – but frankly, I believe taking a ribwich serving Krusty the Clown -like Phil Hare- and placing him in a risky public forum, reeks of desperation and/or a knowledge by the local Politburo that they can preprogram the debate question and answer forum. But then I am just a paisley&plaid wearing, hard-up desperate wild and crazy guy from the sticks, posting a political rant on a weekend after 5 PM Friday. Sigh!!! Perhaps Team Philobluster will have plenty of time to share some of their cruising-for-chicks tips with us wild and crazy guys, following the election. Or like the local Democrat Politburo hoping for Philobluster to come across as Slick Willy in a debate, maybe that is not such a good idea either.

Free Speech – No Longer Free
It seems every-time I read a news story about Philadelphia, they are doing their best to prove that their long held title as the city of “Brotherly Love” is really a misnomer. The city that was the birthplace of the United States of America and was once the proud freedom loving Capitol of the US – now seeks to curtail free speech. It seems that the City of Philadelphia is now charging bloggers a $300 fee to operate a blog, along with taxes for any revenue they might bring in from advertisements. Translation – what better way to silence free speech, than charge independent bloggers an operational fee. It seems that in Philadelphia, free-speech will no longer be free and only for those wealthy enough to pay the City off for thinking and having an opinion. I am guessing that George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and all the rest of the US Founding Fathers are rolling over in their graves at this bit of news.

Curses Foiled Again
Well for a short moment in time, it looked like I was back in style! I started reading a Daily Mail article and it said:
While recent years have seen the seemingly unstoppable rise of male grooming, 85 per cent of women said that the hirsute look suits men better.
Waxing and excessive shaving got the thumbs down, with girls opting for a ‘real man’ instead.
Shaved chests, plucked eyebrows and the ‘back, sack and crack’ wax were not, after all, the way to a woman’s heart, the survey found.
I was ecstatic after reading the analysis.
Especially since shaved chests, plucked eyebrows and the ‘back, sack and crack’ wax are not (and never will be) included as part of my normal grooming process! Sadly my back-in-style moment was soon to be crushed in the same article.
Further down in the article some distressing news was included to crush theScoundrel‘s back-in-style comeback-dream:
Only 8 per cent of women said they liked their men groomed to perfection, narrowly beating the 7 per cent who preferred to see a werewolf-like quantity of hair.
Okay that does present a problem. The problem being–> even after soaking in hair creme rinse for three hours, it takes at least three t-shirts to contain the Midwestern Plains expansion growing on my chest and back, so that I may suppress any porcupine spikes from piercing anyone close enough to notice released male hormones. Curses, foiled again – by trivializing poll specifics. Seven percent poll ratings - really cuts down on a guys options when cruising the nightspots! Heck – that’s even lower than the Democrat and Republican Congress’ ratings!!!
