"I would Never Do An Add About The White Woman He Lived With For A Year After Columbia University"

That little grenade was dropped on the O'Reilly Factor last night as guest host John Kasich interviewed a conservative pundit who had just produced a hit piece commercial on Obama. Kasich's question was, "Is there anything that is off Limits?"

To his credit, John Kasich immediately changed the subject.

But it's out there... And I can just see the reporters at The National Enquirer scrambling as I write. I know why it was said... And the reason is ugly... Whether the statement was true or not.

But I'll say this: If the Republican nominee for president was Condoleeza Rice, and a similar story had been dropped about her, the story would be on the front page of The New York Times this morning.



UPDATE: Thanks to an anonymous commenter, we know the name of the man Kasich was interviewing - Floyd Brown... And his website - http://www.exposeobama.com/

The Latest Addition to My Home's Ambiance

I've been a Notre Dame Football fan since 1973... I read 4 to 5 ND football web sites every day.

That said...

When the players leave the Notre Dame locker room to take the field, they touch a sign on the stairs for luck. The sign reads "Play Like a Champion Today"

They start the game much the same way I start my day...

You must admit... That's pretty cool.

Will Colon Powell Endorse Obama?

Washington-- It is rumored that Barack Obama has sought and secured the endorsement of former Secretary of State Colon Powell. If true, the Obama Campaign may redouble efforts to bring aboard Bud "Sphincter" Samuels, creating a possible domino effect which will coax political heavyweights Rectum Johnson and Betty Anus into the fold.

The McCain Camp may claim that their earlier endorsements by Frank Butts and Larry Sigmoid adequately balance this latest movement, but an anonymous source deep inside the campaign admitted to Malott's Blog, "This is a heavy load whose ramifications we're just beginning to digest. Obviously it has impacted us, and we are just beginning to feel the strain."




(Yes, I know it's "Colin." Leave me alone.)

Consumed With The Olympics

Like most Americans, the Olympics have completely absorbed and captured my attention. I can think of little else. The color... The pageantry... All those warm and welcoming Japanese people.

I haven't gotten to watch any of it yet, but I have arranged to be off work the week of August 25th - and will be glued to my TV set all that week screaming USA... USA! But that's just the kind of Olympic enthusiast I am.

Obama the Noob


While Russia's invasion of Georgia is troubling, it has given Barack Obama the opportunity to premiere his foreign policy expertise.

In a nutshell: It’s both sides’ fault — both have been somewhat provocative with each other.


I personally would like to get Obama's take on the Nazi invasion of Poland in 1939.

John Hinderaker from Powerline put it best:
It is often said that Obama is not ready to be President, but I don't think this is exactly right. It seems pretty obvious that Obama, given his temperament, his self-regard, his blithe ignorance of history and of the material conditions of life on this planet, will never be ready to be President. He is not unready: he is unsuited for, and inadequate to, the office.

Quote of the Day

"If Billy Mays moved in next door to me, I would hang myself."
--Malott

I first posted this in February of 2006. It merits reposting. I particularly love the comments.

Ribbons on Sticks

I suppose I have Olympic Fever just like everyone else. I haven't watched any of it yet, but that's just because I don't really get emotionally involved until the little girls come out with Ribbons on Sticks. Oh you can keep your baseball and your hockey because what really gets my heart to pumpin' is the NFL, College Basketball, and those little girls with ribbons on sticks.

Now I've seen Michael Jordan dunk a basketball and I've seen Jerry Rice practically levitate as he stretched out to catch a football. But many of the great and more celebrated athletes pale and lose their mystique once you've seen those little girls with ribbons on sticks. Such grace... such grit... such a long ribbon.

Are they in the winter games or do they play in the summer? Anyway whenever they're on I'll be there with my popcorn and Pepsi glued to my TV set, getting all excited, flushed with tension, and cheering like a madman for those little girls with ribbons on sticks.

Ralphetta! I Just Met a Girl Named Ralphetta

(No, really!)

I'm thinking we need some sort of governmental agency whose task it is to review and approve names. I mean... Ralphetta? No little girl deserves that.

The agency should also approve spelling and accepted pronunciation. (Brett) Favre should be pronounced "fav ruh", not "farv." A little boy should never be named "Mathew"... But rather "Matthew", regardless of the intelligence level of his inbred mother.

A little girl should never be named "Loveankisses." (Yep... She exists.)

Also, certain first and last names should not be allowed to coexist. I know of a man named Turly Curd... a nightmare scenario for dyslexics everywhere.

So please leave in comments your worst name experiences... And if you have good name for the govt. agency... I'll take that, too.

In John Edward's Defense

I never saw John Edwards stand at a lectern and claim that he was a saint. I always thought of Edwards as a good Democrat who represented well the morals and values of his Party, and the people who vote for his Party's nominees.

I still do.

The Republican Party still gives lip service to the moral issues of our day. Though inconsistent, they are generally pro-life, and on occasion stand in the way of the gay agenda. There are a few honorable, even Godly Republicans in office, but in general they represent very poorly the people who vote for them.

You can't say that of John Edwards.

When Democrats stood with women who sought the right to kill full-term infants through partial birth abortion... Edwards stood with them. Edwards supports the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act... As he stands with the Gay lobby.

Everything on God's green earth reduces to a core struggle between good and evil. Everything... Including politics. If during his confession Edwards had looked to the heavens, raised his voice and cried, "Lord, against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight..." He would have betrayed the values, goals, and moorings of the Democrat Party.

John Edwards is a good Democrat.

I think, Therefore I am Created

I just watched Created Cosmos, A Creation Museum Planetarium Show.

Stunning.

I received it free from Fort Patriot.com for answering The Weekly Trivia Challenge correctly... In association with The Peter Heck Show.

My education leaves me a little more impressed with my own little universe of several trillion human cells, which allow me to reason and conclude that - there is no logical reason... No logical source... For the existence of an eternal, physical universe of matter and energy... Governed by physical laws... Measured in time... And I have to question the seeming reality of it all. It really makes no sense...

But for a Creator... That created time and physical space... Whose world is not limited by such physical and measured trappings.

So for a few moments... Before the world comes rushing in... I'll bathe my thoughts... Not in the mundane and little distractions that govern far too much of my life... But in the glory of a God who holds the universe and my pathetic little soul in His hands.

How fleeting these lucid moments are!

Trysting In The Wind

WASHINGTON -- Former presidential candidate John Edwards, who won praise and sympathy as he campaigned side-by-side with his cancer-stricken wife, Elizabeth, admitted Friday he had had an extramarital affair with a Santa Barbara woman who produced videos for his campaign.

It's odd that politicians have affairs and think they won't get caught.

We all Remember Gary Hart and Donna Rice... Although Rice has since turned her life around.

I wish I could claim to be squeaky clean... But I too was caught in an illicit relationship a few years ago.

I remember how cute she looked in her underwear.

I remember how sexy she looked in the shower.

For I am but flesh and blood, and heir to its weaknesses.

I Miss Michelle

Ever since Michelle "For the first time I'm proud of my country" Obama was exiled to Elba, I have missed her profound criticisms of the country I love.

On the bright side, I've finally got The Jefferson's "Movin' On Up" theme song out of my head.

Hilton vs Pelosi

If the Speaker of the House was elected nationally... After seeing Paris Hilton's campaign video and hearing her pro-stance on offshore drilling, I believe she could beat Nancy Pelosi this fall.

No, really!

Quoting Mother Theresa

"I love all religions. ... If people become better Hindus, better Muslims, better Buddhists by our acts of love, then there is something else growing there."


"All is God -- Buddhists, Hindus, Christians, etc., all have access to the same God."


"We never try to convert those who receive [aid from Missionaries of Charity] to Christianity but in our work we bear witness to the love of God's presence and if Catholics, Protestants, Buddhists, or agnostics become for this better men -- simply better -- we will be satisfied. It matters to the individual what church he belongs to. If that individual thinks and believes that this is the only way to God for her or him, this is the way God comes into their life -- his life. If he does not know any other way and if he has no doubt so that he does not need to search then this is his way to salvation."

Before I comment, I just want to say how hypocritical I feel critiquing someone who definitely "laid down her life" in service to God... A spiritual manifestation of which my life is a pathetic example. This woman was an incredible person of self-sacrifice.

Still, I have to ask, where is the Christian love in caring for the poor... If the saving truth is withheld from them? No one comes to the Father except through Jesus. I believe there is no eternal gravity or substance in charity that operates independent of the gospel.

Mother Theresa's works are a stirring testimony to the love of Christ... But the quotations above miss the deeper reality: The eternal healing... The salvation that comes only through a relationship with Jesus.

This celebrated woman is perhaps the greatest humanitarian that ever lived... And surely she knew, in spite of these quotes, that her service to mankind was filthy rags... If performed independent of the Father's sacrifice.

"Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you." Matthew 7:22-23

In spite of these quotes, I choose to believe that Mother Theresa's beneficiaries were led to look at the Source of her amazing service.

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 1 Corinthians 13:12 KJV

All mankind, both evil and good, equally performs and teeters on the same precipice... But for one name... Jesus.

Tyson Foods Goes Muslim

Workers at the Tyson Foods poultry processing plant in Shelbyville will no longer have a paid day off on Labor Day but will instead be granted the Muslim holiday Eid al-Fitr.

Union leaders said implementing the holiday was important for the nearly 700 Muslims, many of them Somalis, who work at the plant that employs a total of 1,200 people.

Former employee and Shelbyville resident Anthony Proctor said he thinks what's happening is wrong.

He said he helped build a special Muslim prayer room that's located inside the plant and that no other Tyson facility has been that accommodating for any other religion.

The obvious first mistake? ... The Muslim prayer room.

Barack "Ill Say Anything To Get Elected" Obama... on Drilling

From the Huffing and Puffing Huffington Post:

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said Friday he would be willing to support limited additional offshore oil drilling if that's what it takes to enact a comprehensive policy to foster fuel-efficient autos and develop alternate energy sources.

Republican rival John McCain, who earlier dropped his opposition to offshore drilling, has been criticizing Obama on the stump and in broadcast ads for clinging to his opposition as gasoline prices topped $4 a gallon. Polls indicate these attacks have helped McCain gain ground on Obama.

But a Daily Kos commenter has it figured out:

Please give Obama the benefit of the doubt. Off Shore oil drilling is polling at over 70%. We have a much better chance of it not happening if Obama wins.

How true.

My Recent "Amazon" Purchase

Starting from the lower left... Nelson DeMille is one of my favorite authors whose character development and style always entertains.

The Princess and the Kiss is a story about God's Gift of Purity, and was recommended by Nancy Leigh DeMoss. I bought it for my eldest nephew... Who, in my heart, I still hope is still pure... Though the fact that he and his wife have conceived a daughter burdens me with doubt.

The Last Words of Saints and Sinners is a favorite of Michael Easley, the president of Moody Bible Institute... And I plan to incorporate a weekly "Last Words" post from said tome on Malott's Blog... When I finally get around to reading it... The book, that is.

The video "Pride and Prejudice" and Bryson's Book were purchased due to the influence of a certain blogger, who will remain unnamed... And who will no doubt consider it a kind of triumph that she influenced me to buy them... Which I find only moderately annoying.

Yes... Yes... I'm well aware... P&P is a chick flick. But it's... well... just so good. And I couldn't tolerate sitting through all those tedious commercials when it played on the Oxygen channel. Art should never be sifted and partitioned with the peddling of female gizmos and accoutrements... Something I feel very strongly about.
