Chamblee54

It all started in the spam folder. There was a message from a blogger called “aimlow joe”, who wanted to be added to the blogroll at chamblee54. This will expose his blog to thirty new viewers a day, of whom .01% look at the blogroll. Naturally, PG added ALJ to the BR, and looked at the blog for today’s updates.
There is a scary headline, New Bill Gives Obama ‘Kill Switch’ To Shut Down The Internet . When you get to the text of the story, you see a link to the source article. When you click on this link, you see that Prison Planet is facilitated by Alex Jones.
Further down in the Aimlow text, he says that the internet is not shut downable, even by the evil Kenyan. It turns out that the bill to allow this internet regulation was sponsored by Joe Lieberman, which brings us to the gist of this story.
PG has had doubts about the good intentions of Mr. Lieberman for a while now. A few months ago, he spoke at a press conference in Israel, where he said, in effect, don’t listen to the President, the congress is never going to do anything Israel does not like. PG suspects that Israel needs a bit of “tough love” these days, and  Mr. Lieberman is not likely to help.
The scary thing is, Joe Lieberman ran for Vice President in 2000, and received a majority of the popular vote. Because of a technicality, he was not allowed to serve. While it is generally agreed that the Presidency of George W. Bush was a disaster, the concept of Joe Lieberman as Vice President is possibly worse.
The VPOTUS is “one heartbeat away” from the big show. In addition to this, the Vice office is a stepping stone to election to the oval office. If Mr. Lieberman had served as VPOTUS, he would have had four/eight years in the spotlight. It is assumed that he would run for POTUS after Mr. Gore stepped down. The party nomination would be a given. Given the klutzoid nature of the Republican party, Mr. Lieberman would have a good chance at winning. President Lieberman is a horrible, horrible thought, as bad as President Palin…or Obama.
Johnny Carson had a series of jokes about a billboard. Part of one message fell off, and parts of two messages were seen. Once, the top half of the billboard said “George Wallace for President”. The bottom half said, “Wouldn’t you really rather have a Buick?”.
