Next time you say, "There oughta be a law ...." stop and consider there may already be one. Especially one that goes wayyyyyy beyond Murphy's:

Algore vs. Belching Cows and Farting Mooses?

While cow's breath (the odor -- not the flower) is not one of my favorite fragrances (I never could figure out how "sour" grass could be converted to "sweet" milk), Algore may have met his match as a hot air blow-hard.

Take that anyway you choose. I do, however, recommend NOT lighting any matches for the rest of this post.

The Algore environmental crowd are sniffing out bovine gastrointestional odors as another cause of global warming. They're now blaming cows and moose for melting snow caps and homeless polar bears.

And speaking of belching and farting -- Algore obviously never met my Dad.

Dad's belches would rattle the neighbor's windows; his farts brought tears to the eyes of anyone within 50 feet.

Funny thing is, I always figured algore as a "pull-my-finger" sorta guy.

But I digress.


So read the article.

Mitt Herds the Cow(ard)s Outta Iowa

The sports world should be so lucky. You know you're going to lose, so to save face -- you decide not to play.

No, this doesn't work in sports and it certainly doesn't work in politics.

Rudy and John (and Ron Paul, for that matter), can make all the excuses they want. True is, they took their ball and went home.

In addition to "offending" the most historic straw vote state in the nation, they failed to make opening curtain in the first event of the 2008 election year!

That's worse than blowing your lines with a cue card behind the camera, Fred. You all have heard of Fred!, haven't you? Fred! Thompson .... that undeclared, "I'll let you know soon" guy who continues to line his pockets with "testing the water" money while changing his campaign staff as often his youngest changes diapers.

What kind of political candidate for the Presidency of the United States "declines" to campaign? What does that say to the American public about determination and faith in -- not only the process -- but in their position on the issues????

When you hear someone criticize Mitt Romney or "alibi" his winning margin --- remember what happened in Iowa.

If conservative candidates are afraid of Mitt's organizational skills in a (as they describe "meaningless") preliminary state, what will they do when facing him in subsequent state polls? Will they feel more confident in "matching" his well-organized team in states less conservative?

Will Rudy and John be able to match the enthusiasm and focus Mitt demonstrated in this speech in Iowa yesterday?

Time will tell ..... May the best candidate win. And if Iowa is any indicator -- it will be Mitt Romney.
