Arkansas Blog

Have to wonder which Bible he wants us to read. I'm sure he wouldn't hesitate to tell us which version is the "correct" one.

"Gov. Mike Huckabee says
people should read the Bible
more and blogs less."

The governor also wants us to quit thinking about ourselves so much and instead to spend more time thanking public officials for all the good they generously do for us, undeserving as we are.

The governor of Arkansas lives in a dream world...for about two more weeks.

Well of course he does. In the Bible he's found complete agreement with himself. It's like pulling the desired rabbit out of the hat every time. Anything he believes/desires to be true can be sustained by the 'right' verse. (Thus the multitude of vastly different religions stemming from the same text.)

The blogs, on the other hand, toss out too many Truths that conflict with his reality to sit well with Huck.

I wonder if when the reporters have cleared the room whether Huck ever considers he might just be wrong...whether he sits and thinks about using his flaws/mistakes to make himself a better person (not just as a sign of political/personal weakness)? Somehow I picture his introspection going something like this (like Dubya's): 'The more I think about it the more I realize I'm right and everyone else is wrong. And I just wasted a minute.'

You know, I'll bet you could randomly turn to any page in the Bible and find a better name for a lake or a hall than ......

Budhists too?

I Prefer to read more BLOG's and science .....

The A to Z Guide to Political Interference in Science.

In recent years, scientists who work for and advise the federal government
have seen their work manipulated, suppressed, and distorted. At the same
time, agencies have systematically limited public and policy maker access
to critical scientific information. Now 10,000 American scientists have
spoken out about the practice.

Personally, I grew out of half-assed fictional writing years ago. I much prefer blogs.

This time of year I recommend Handel's Messiah. I know the Hallelujah Chorus is known for Easter but, as a whole, I enjoy it at Christmas.

What about blogs that are Bible-related? Hmmmmm???

Is there a particular blog he for which he has disdain?

Geesh - is this just his attempt to continue to be disgruntled toward the AT?

Wish I had been the journalist he spouted that crap to. I'd have asked these as follow-ups.

In my life I have met a few people that were so "out there" that I dreaded the day they ever woke up and saw themselves for what they really are, or realized how all other people perceived them. Governor Huckabuck is one of them.

He is so completely filled with himself he can't see how ridiculous he looks to most of the rest of us. Sure, 10% see him as a fellow Christian and that lets him off every hook. Another 10% are such hard core Republicans that they'd support him if he ate diced children with his powdered eggs every morning.

Then you have at least 30% who haven't paid attention to anything their entire lives. All that adds up to just about what Huck's approval rating is today. And why we have such junk in our system of government as of 2006.

Max has pretty much shot down Huck's new book, written on our dime, in the opening comments at the head of this thread. Huckabee is obviously the kind of guy my late father spoke of often and warned me about, someone who, like a jackass, brays to hear their own voice.

It's just sad that the people of Arkansas were satisfied with such a buffoon all these years. Here at the end we're getting a glimpse of the real Huckabee and it's sickening. Petty, small, vindictive, lost in his own world of over inflated ego and greed. Self excused by Jesus ahead of every sin.

Look around at us stuck in 49th on every shit list. Look at our nation today, Congress a snake pit, the White House even worse. It's our fault. We keep electing bad people.... at best like Huckabee, at worst like Dick Cheney.

Our jobs fly off in order for their friends to make higher profits and we watch CSI. The Arkansas spoils are equally divided between big business, big farming, and big trucking and we bitch about cigarettes.

We're left with beautiful countryside and the burden of taxes. This is not what our founding fathers envisioned, that we'd be made slaves and punching bags of the government.

They had to know rich folks way back then, but they surely didn't see a day when they'd all combine to divide up the world for their benefit.

Huck, Blanche, Mark and all the minions below them spend each day that they bother to work, working for the money crowd, not us. We're tossed little bones like the promise of tobacco settlement money, which apparently has done nothing for the average citizen of Arkansas.

They promise us the giant surplus in state funds will trickle down to us in some form, some day. They bait us with the idea of no taxes on groceries, but we never get it.

The tail isn't wagging the dog, the tail has turned into the dog and we're now the little patch of skin directly under the dog's tail. Calvin Coolidge said "The business of government is business." Seemed like a smart thing to say back then.

But today it appears the only business of government is big business, not people, not their protection and welfare, but the protection, promotion and welfare of Wal-Mart, Tyson, Halliburton, big oil, big medicine, big insurance, big pharma......everyone but the common man, little families trying to make it while being squeezed from all sides.

We'll be done with Huckabee in a couple of weeks, but our lot in life will not improve if he's replaced by someone of the same ilk. I believe Beebe is better, but one time I believed Huckabee was better too.

It is up to us to side step the political BS, to forget what they SAY and watch very closely what they DO. If we had done this in the past, Huckabee would have been a one term Governor and Arkansas might be 47th today.

Our politicians need improving, but it will never happen until we improve ourselves, elect better folks, monitor their actions and hold their feet to the fire the minute they get a Jesus complex going on. The hide we save will be our own. I issue one last Pox on Mike Huckabee.

Oh I wish it were so. But a compliant media(AT excluded) makes it unso. When Huckle Boy goes on statewide TV no one questions his bullshit. He gets a free ride. I listened to him over and over say "You can't tax corporations." Then he rants on about how corps have so many experts who find the escape routes and it would run off corporations if you tax them.
Bullshit! NY, even Texas taxes corporations and I don't see a mass exodus from either state.

MSM is gonna have a feast with this bag of air if the day comes when he gets enough cashtraction.

Does this include bible blogs? What about blogs with diet plans?
Why don't you say what you really want to say, like "i am trying to send a mesage to all large donors who want me to chop up the internet so they may slice up the pie and stuff their gout laden coffers for another century." and for free speech, well that was a cute idea.

Yo Gov, Look at the cover of Time, even they get it.
