Different Strokes on Ice

Yaum al-Khamis 16th Muharram 1429

Bismillah ar Rahmaan ar Raheem,

As salaam alaikum wa rahmaatuulahhi wa baraakaatuu,

Last night Gov Doyle of Wisconsin threw an interception at the end of the State of the State Address. He made the State of the State adress in the Great Snow Dust Storm of 2008… so this was the lead up to and the reporting of the state of the state address, you think something that important would garner as much attention as the Packers or the Weather… well lets hope Mike Gousha’s new show will be good.

President Farve

Yaum al-Ahad 12th Muharram 1429

Bismillah ar Rahmaan ar Raheem,

As salaam alaikum wa rahmaatuulahhi wa baraakaatuu,

Last night I turned on the news to check who won in the two republican primaries and in Nevada for the Dems. I had to sit through about 10 minutes of Packer stories and the weather… If the Packers win today I will not hear of anything, Al humduulilah for Internet access.

Obama actually won last night. He came out with one more delegate then Hillary. I am not sure how that happened since Hillary won the popular vote, but who said that this country is truly democratic? Obama has a two delegate lead over Hillary and Iceberg is why back in the third. South Carolina is up next, if Obama can win SC then he will have momentum, if he doesn’t then Hillary pulled a comeback, but she won’t be the next president.

Romney has built a 21 delegate lead over Huckabee who has fizzled out. Maybe Huckabee will join Chuck Norris on some of is info-mericals because he took a big blow last night (bigger then Romney’s loss in IA). McCain is behind Huckabee, and Rudy finally surfaced with one Delegate. I mention Rudy because he may come up big in the Repubs next stop, Florida, and he can easily be in second place, and I don’t think Romney is going to be able to hold on.

Finally Ron Paul has done well, almost Perot like. He may come out as a 3rd party candidate. Also, it wouldn’t surprise me to see Bloomberg enter the race cause it is up for grabs, just ask Obama. It may come down to Feb 5th or even the conventions were delegates may actually switch sides and that is not something that we have seen in modern politics.

Moronic Media

January 18, 2008

Yaum al-Jumua 10th Muharram 1429

Bismillah ar Rahmaan ar Raheem,

As salaam alaikum wa rahmaatuulahhi wa baraakaatuu,

Welcome to Milwaukee where we are Packers all day, all night. I watched the morning news this morning, for the first time it wasn’t wall to wall Packers coverage. I am kind of hoping that the Packers loose on Sunday because I don’t think I can stomach two weeks of this fake Packers glory by a bunch of band wagon losers who probably don’t even know who Reggie White is. The interesting thing will be if the Packers can repeat their success next year, or are they this year’s Saints, a team that happens to play the right team on the right week for the whole season. Next year they may have a chance to win a Super Bowl and it will prove that this season was not a fluke.

On to the Election everyone is surprised that this is a tight race, but I don’t understand why. When you look at a blow by blow by the number of delegates won by each candidate in each state I don’t know why it was a surprise other then the media trying to hype up Huckabee and Obama (which is a sure sign that one of them will be the next president).

Finally, I know I won’t see any of the celebrations of Ashurra on the news here in Milwaukee, unless the Packers have some Shia fans that will mourn al-Hussian at Lambeau Field.
