This is the time of year that we reflect on the previous 360+ days. A lot has happened since the last time the ball dropped in New York City. Of all of the news stories that made 2008 what it was, which was the biggest in your mind? Below are a handful to choose from, or give us one that stands out in your mind.
Loading ...For the Thanksgiving holiday, the Borowitz Report has released Sarah Palin’s List of Thankfulnesses. Yes, you know you’re a little curious. Here’s an example:
“The first thankfulness being that I’m thankful for this turkey, and also too for the metal funnel thingy that cut the turkey’s head clean off while it was flapping its wings trying to get out and all. That was fun.”
It sure was, Sarah, fun for all of us. Ok, go visit Andy’s site.
By now you have all likely heard about the issues surrounding the automotive industry. The Big 3 (GM, Chrysler, and Ford) are in dire financial straits and the City of Detroit is on the edge of utter disaster. If something does not change quick then massive layoffs, plant closures and possibly even entire company closures could be on the way. So, with these difficult times looming, the CEO’s of these companies have gone to Washington seeking a bailout. As you also probably already know, Federal legislators have already allocated over $700 billion to assist banks and credit lenders. The auto bailout is said to be somewhere around $25 billion. Does it make sense? Should the Big 3 just file Chapter 11? Mestew Nation, the question is posed to you. What is the right plan for the auto makers?
Loading ...Oh man, you Democratic R.C.s are in deep now. According to the Rev. Jay Scott Newman from Columbia, SC, your souls are at risk if you voted for Barack Hussein Obama because, “our nation has chosen for its chief executive the most radical pro-abortion politician ever to serve in the United States Senate or to run for president.” Newman says supporting Obama “constitutes material cooperation with intrinsic evil.” He then goes on to say, “Catholics who do so place themselves outside of the full communion of Christ’s Church and under the judgment of divine law… should not receive Holy Communion until and unless they are reconciled to God in the Sacrament of Penance, lest they eat and drink their own condemnation.” FWIW, 54% of Catholics chose Obama according to national exit polls.
Mestew Nation, don’t let the Rev. make you feel ashamed of your vote. It’s time to stand proud and the best way to do so is to purchase an “I Put My Soul at Risk for Obama” t-shirt! That’s right, Mestew.com is featuring these beauties along with other great Mestew apparel at our online store, A Mestew Thing or Two.
What better time than now to put together a list of 2012 Republican party threats to President-Elect Obama’s crown? I am sure a lot will happen between now and then, but it is fun to take a look at how things shape up as of today. So take a quick look and let me know if I left someone out. (more…)
