"John McClane: You know what you get for being a hero? Nothin'. You get shot at. You get a little pat on the back, blah, blah, blah, attaboy. You get divorced. Your wife can't remember your last name. Your kids don't want to talk to you. You get to eat a lot of meals by yourself. Trust me, kid, nobody wants to be that guy.
Matt Farrell: Then why you doing this?
John McClane: Because there's no body else to do it right now, that's why. Believe me, if there were somebody else to do it, I'd let them do it, but there's not. So we're doing it.
Matt Farrell: Ah. That's what makes you that guy. "

Words To Live By
"The era of small government is over ... government has to be more proactive, more aggressive." ( Tim Pawlenty 2006)

"You're just petty politicians, who'd sooner sign onto the wisdom of a tyrant in another country, than the demands of ticked off voters in your own." (Neil Cavuto June 2008)

“I didn’t question her patriotism. I questioned her judgment.” Mr. Cheney went on: “The point I made and I’ll make it again is that Al Qaeda functions on the basis that they think they can break our will. That’s their fundamental underlying strategy, that if they can kill enough Americans or cause enough havoc, create enough chaos in Iraq, then we’ll quit and go home. And my statement was that if we adopt the Pelosi policy, that then we will validate the strategy of Al Qaeda. I said it, and I meant it.” (Vice President Cheney NYT Feb. 2007)

"A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers. (Ronald Reagan March 1, 1975)

"Oh, no! First of all, if I took one vote away from a serious candidate, it would be a sin." (Al Franken Time Magazine, 9/1/03)

Oh Yeah, That Guy

Mark Huering has a post at True North pointing out how center right bloggers in Minnesota missed an event the other day and haven’t even mentioned it.

But as yesterday spread into today, I started to notice something. Many of the other prominent center-right voices in the Minnesota blogosphere hadn’t written anything about the event, either.

What event did we miss or ignore? Sen. Norm Coleman’s campaign kickoff. Was it intentional? I don’t think so. I’ve choosen to avoid Coleman’s events due to issues with people who would be there.  And like the other bloggers out there I’ve been busy on other things on and off the blogs.

Most of us, like Mark mentioned, have other things to do and need to bring home that pay check. We make decisions on what we go out of our way to do. Taking a morning off work to watch an incumbent announce his reelection campaign, which has been active for 6 months already, doesn’t seem quite as important as, say, covering a County Board meeting where they raise taxes for boondoggles or watching obsessed stalkerazzi dingbats slam our troops.

As I have been pointing out since Caucuses, Coleman is slipping off the radar screen for conservatives. His latest ad is all about how he is an independent. Well fine. I’m independent too, especially when it comes to choosing on where and when i devote my time and energy to covering events. That shoe fits both feet.
