04/18/07 Incidentally, aging hippy Don Imus could use a hair cut. Man is silly looking and ugly. JES
06/01/06 It's now official: Helen Thomas is so much fun. Conservatives love her entertaining style. Her latest gastrointestinal attack seems to have originated over the appointment of Karl Zinmeister as a Bush advisor. Tony Snow acquitted himself well. JES
05/09/06 For those of you concerned about Ohio this Fall, take heart. The other day, running through Findlay on US 224, I came upon a crew of utility workers busy at the side of the road. The sign displayed said "MEN AT WORK". When was the last time you've seen that? JES
05/09/06 Among the ranks of Democrats, some dissatisfaction has been displayed with the Democrat House leadership of Nancy Pelosi (sic). The Mountain Observer recommends that this dissatisfaction could be remedied by elevating Rep. Cynthia McKinney D-GA to the House leadership of her party. A really excellent idea. Any way we can help. JES
04/05/06 It has lately come to my attention that John Kerry does not eat tomatoes. But does he not stay fed by the Heinz fortune? Something like voting against tomatoes before voting for them. Comment, please Maria Teresa Thierstein Simoes-Ferreira Heinz (redacted). Anyway, I find it amusing. JES
03/19/06 The State of California is taking over Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch, as Michael can no longer pay his bills. It has been suggested that the perfect client might be Howard Dean's Democratic National Committee, perhaps with what's left of Air America in the guest house. Not a bad idea, but the original problem remains: who will pay the bills? JES
02/16/06 Dick Cheney for President 2008. Failing that, John Wayne. Failing that, Ann Coulter.
02/15/06 Fortunately, the Vice President is a bad shot with bird shot in a ladies caliber (28 ga.). While the Vice President, and ourselves, are primarily concerned about the victim, the White House press corpse is primarily concerned with itself and golden political opportunities. Say tuned. JES
02/14/06 All 12 Danish cartoons. It's the principal of the matter. JES (I know. I'm working on it)
02/13/06 Central Park in New York City receives 27.9 inches of snow. Where is global warming when you need it? JES
02/04/06 Back in the 40's and 50's when I was a kid Western Union was still going strong. It functioned as e-mail does today. After 150 years, Western Union has folded up its tent. How well do any of you remember the Railway Express Agency, the FedEx and UPS of its day. And yes, I miss steam locomotives. JES
02/04/06 Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, you are 85 years old. Take a break. You deserve it. Go fishing. JES
02/03/06 The Super Bowl is tomorrow. A city of blue collar Democrats against a city of Howard Dean Democrats. Thumbs up for the blue collar Democrats; they offer greater hope of eventual salvage. JES
12/13/04 Note to the Massachusetts KKK (Kennedy Kerry Klan): One of the most cherished American freedoms is your right to leave. JES
12/13/05 Incidentally, see what your neighbor Senator Joe Lieberman has to say on Iraq. JES
12/08/05 "It is not that liberals are stupid; it's just that they know so much that isn't true". Ronald Reagan
11/11/05 Actually Belly Laugh Considerations on this one. Today the Massachusetts KKK is in a snit and outraged toward state Governor Mitt Romney for chuckling yesterday, in Washington DC, at remarks made in an introductory in his behalf before the Federalist Society. Some reference was made to the Massachusetts KKK: Kennedy, Kerry Klan, actually pretty creative in the opinion of the Mountain Observer, and a fairly accurate and economical reference to the political species. JES
05/21/05 Saddam Hussein is caught with his pants down, and the little old ladies at the ACLU are in a twit. God save Katie Couric's innocence. JES
04/25/05 It seems that a new addition to the language, intended as a pejorative epithet, has popped up on the East Coast: Heteronormative, which, as best as I can make out, means: the error of being a normal (conservative) American with normal (conservative) American values. I proudly plead guilty, and pray that millions of others do as well. JES
03/12/05 The age of decent television passed on about the time of Johnny Carson's retirement. From that point on it has been largely muck, and I have had better things to do with my time. JES
MO 05 01 The President visits Brussels Belgium to butter up the Brussel Sprouts. Better than French cheese. JES
