Ten Buck Friday On Saturday! And a Huge Thanks to Bob Belvedere of Camp of the Saints and Other Really, Really Important Stuff...

Thinking I was the only forgetful slob of a blogger, my delight knows no bounds for finding out Mr. Belvedere admitted to allowing Ten Buck Friday to slip by until Saturday. My Catholic guilt is somewhat assuaged and I can return to the land of the living. Thanks, Bob!

My only excuse is the heat (in the 90's), which I know is nothing compared to the temps back east, but I've discovered a painful truth; when you are nearer in age to 65 than 60, the heat is hotter. Waaaay hotter.

Details on Ten Buck Friday and this weeks winner at:

Maggie's Notebook (who I just discovered is a very lovely blond lady)

My best blogger buddy Right Klik (father to the most beautiful baby, evah!) RK also has next weeks nominees posted.

The very handsome Reaganite Republican has even more details.

What can I say about this? republican (small r)Mother is so nice she linked to me just because I linked to someone else. That's what a really nice blogger does when a fellow blogger (moi) is turning out bupkis, doncha know. Not to be missed is her post on Repeal It All! - The Definitive List
For those of you who don't think the Federal Government is out of control, take a gander at her list. It will cause you to have a real "read it and weep" moment.

Kennedy Catherine McCain, daughter of Stacy McCain, was married yesterday. I'm demanding pictures because I love wedding pictures.

Smitty, brilliant sidekick and straight man to Stacy, posted a video which pretty much sums up my feelings exactly. This afternoon I popped on to one of our local TV station sites to get the temperature. Guess what the top headlines were?

The Audio Rant That Has Tinsel Town Talking; Listen To Gibson Yourself
Meet The Press Exclusive Tomorrow Morning; Gibbs & Roundtable
Lady Gaga Draws Record Crowd; Watch The Video Millions Are Talking About!
Octopus Picks Winner For World Cup!
Cleveland Begins Erasing LeBron James' Big Presence

Following all this very important stuff was a blurb about 6 American deaths in Afghanistan. DO YOU SEE THE PROBLEM??? We're being constantly manipulated by distractions. Fed with a steady diet of highly sweetened bull, we've become media diabetics headed straight for a deadly coma. Who gives a rats-ass if Mel Gibson calls his girlfriend, mother to his bastard child, a whore. Lady Gaga? Ugh! And honestly, I didn't even know who LeBron James was until a few days ago.

We had better wake up and sooner rather than later...

Next Week's Ten Bucks Friday Poll is Up

Most of the following is ~~stolen~~ compliments of RightKlik, and I thank him. I see no purpose in re-inventing the wheel. Besides my headache is still hanging about (although not as severe.)

There are only 17 Fridays left until the elections on November 2. Please make generous donations DIRECTLY to Ten Buck Fridays candidates on a weekly basis (details on TBF here).

Before you choose your favorite candidate in this week's poll, please give generously to last week's winner, Anna Little (the campaign will be letting us know how much money they receive from us).

RightKlik has background on all the nominees. Special thanks to Nice Deb for her wonderful background story on Dan Gilveat (KS-3)

Conspiracy, Communism, New World Order, and George Soros - Some Things to Ponder

I have spoken before about the word conspiracy - Conspiracy is Not a Bad Word...

I find it almost funny when people are so anxious to disavow themselves of buying into any kind of "conspiracy theory." Today will be very busy, so I've lined up a few things for you to read and ponder. Always ponder and do your own research.

Don't forget Ten Bucks Friday...

Prayer to Saint Michael

Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -
by the Divine Power of God -
cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.

Amen.

Ten Buck Friday - A Great Idea!

I have been remiss in not mentioning Ten Buck Friday. My blogger buddy, RightKlik, has been doing a wonderful job getting the word out.

The following stolen directly from Maggie's Notebook (I thank her for saving me a bit of time)

Conscientiously Conservative - the birth mother of Ten Buck Fridays:

Many of us get paid on Fridays... if we bring a sack lunch a couple of times a week to work, right there is an extra tenner. What if conservatives donated $10 each and every week up through November to viable candidates and/or PAC's that are promoting a conservative agenda? If you can't afford every week, what about twice a month? Or once a month? Conservatives need to put their money where their mouth is. Commit to Ten Buck Fridays... it WILL make a difference come November!
Ten Buck Fridays is a great idea, and I think it's one that should really catch on.
I'd like to join with conservative bloggers and conservatives on twitter to focus attention on a different candidate each week. Each week, deserving candidates could be nominated. Polling through the next several days could determine the crowd favorite...and on Friday, a good conservative would be hit with a grassroots moneybomb!
Imagine what a thousand grassroots conservatives could accomplish in unison. Ten thousand dollars a week would grab a lot of attention and could help some candidates who really need it.
Who will join us?

Ten Buck Friday Week 1 Winner

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn)

donate here

and write in "Ten Buck Friday" on the donation form

Also stolen from Maggie:

RightKlik announced at Midnight EDT that Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minn) is the recipient of funds from Ten Buck Friday Blogs with 42% of the vote. While some of us donated last week, this is the first week of promoting the program, so this is Week 1, even though some of us donated to poll winner Sharron Angle last week. Angle is aiming for Senator Harry's Reid's senate seat. After today, there are 18 Fridays ahead before the November election.

I was born and raised in Minnesota and have many (liberal) relatives that live there. Their favorite term for Michele is "stupid" and an "embarrassment." This coming from people that voted for Al Franken. That says it all.

Giving Michele Bachmann $10.00 will "make my day."
