November Snippet

In November turkey is served as a reminder of all the things we should be thankful for in life. May we never forget our daily blessings.

Orange Flavored Quangaroos Cereal

Last week I posted on old commercial about Quisp and Quake cereal. After Quisp was proven to be more popular with the kids, Quake was redone as orange flavored Quangaroos.

Republicans Bounce Back In 2009

Last year many of the Obama supporters became very arrogant after his victory. Many of them thought the Republican Party was finished. Well this election proves you should never count your chickens before they hatch. Plurality still lives in America.

In Virginia the Republicans won the races for Governor, Lt. Governor, and Attorney General. This was really no surprise. The real shock happen in New Jersey where the incumbent Democrat was narrowly defeated. Let is be noted that both these states went for Obama last year, and he campaigned for both Democratic candidates for Governor. This shows that most people can think for themselves when they go to the polls.

However Republicans don’t need to gloat just yet. Don’t make the mistake of counting your chicken before they hatch. A lot can happen before next year. This year is proof of that.

Another surprise for me was that Doug Hoffman, Conservative Party candidate, did so well in the special election to fill the vacant seat in New York’s 23rd House district. The seat was previously held by a Republican, but has been won by a Democrat. Obama can say he has had at least one major victory in this election cycle.

Also Republican Michael Bloomberg was re-elected as Mayor of New York City, but didn’t win by the margin he expected. Proof once again that the Republicans should not get comfortable or arrogant.

Snippet of the Vampire,Werewolf, and White Horse

The vampire and werewolf raced toward the white horse to discover that he was a unicorn. Before either could strike, the unicorn pierced the vampire’s heart as the werewolf fled.

Doug Hoffman for Congress

Almost five years ago, I started my blog, “The Shamgar Report.” One of my main goals was to help promote third party candidates. Since then I have recognized many underdogs, even if I didn’t support their candidacy. After being a Republican loyalist for many years, I came to the conclusion that it was time to look at candidates outside the establishment.

Presently there is a third party candidate who is getting a lot of recognition. Doug Hoffman is running as the Conservative Party candidate for Representative from New York’s 23rd House district. Even with a Republican in the race, Hoffman is getting endorsement form many influential people within the Republican Party. So it now seems that many people who are inside the establishment are looking outside the system for other alternatives.

I will admit that Hoffman’s chances of victory are slim, but his candidacy has brought has opened the eyes of many Republican loyalist. Standing for principle is more important than partisan victories. It is refreshing to see that a few Republican leaders now feel the same way.

Quisp and Quake Cereal

These two cereals were made by Quaker Oats in 60’s and 70’s. The commercials had both products competing against each other. It was a very unique marketing concept.

Glenn Beck's Red Phone

Last week Glenn Beck installed a red phone on his television show. White House communications director Anita Dunn is the only one who has the red phone’s number. Mr. Beck has stated that if he has said anything wrong concerning the Obama Administration, she is welcomed to call and to correct him on air.

We know, in the past that the White House has watched Glenn Beck. Recently they did called, and asked Mr. Beck not to use the term “czar.” Now he has publicly reach out to the Obama administration, but they remain silent. During the election Obama said he would be a President who would reach out to everyone. This now seems to be just another broken promise from another partisan politician.

Since Anita Dunn is a fan of the writings of Mao Tse Tung, you would think she would find Mr. Beck’s red phone very appealing.
