Happy New Year!

Yes, 2008 is almost over.  Fortunately, that means Bush won’t have much longer to inflict more of his Keynesian socialist mess upon us.  We’re going to have enough trouble with the damage he’s done as it is, but that’s another story.

Today, I just want to wish everyone a Happy New Year!  Furthermore, I’m going to throw out a request for what you thought was the moment of the year.  I don’t care what you think it was.  Political.  World News.  Movies.  Sports.  Whatever.  Feel free to leave your opinion in the comments, and hold on to your hats, because next year is shaping up to be a real doozie.

Cynthia McKinney Runs Afoul of the Israeli Navy

Cythia McKinney and company, on the Yacht “SS Dignity”, were turned away from Gaza by the Israeli navy.  The people on the “SS Dignity” claim they were rammed by an Israeli gunboat, and the Israelis claim the yacht struck them attempting to run their blockade.  The ship was turned around and sent back to Cyprus, but instead went to Lebanon for lack of fuel.

For those activists on the SS Dignity, a word of advice.  People trying to run naval blockades (and not just the Israelis’) in a time of war are usually sunk.  Grow some sense, thank the Israelis for not responding in the historically typical manner, and don’t try again.

Norm Coleman Gets His Taste of Maverick Support

Truly, Senator Coleman must be proud, now that he’s enjoying the sweet rewards of becoming one with the maverick paradigm.

Not only did he undermine that pesky conservative energy initiative by joining The Gang of 10, but he voted for the $700 Billion dollar bailout and gave the biggest middle finger to his conservative supporters yet.  Truly, he must have been channeling Senator McCain, who was too busy running for President to do all this himself.  The Master Maverick alone could have could have conceived of such maverick brilliance just shy of an election.

Now, Coleman may get an election stolen from him by a comedian because the vote was so close, Democratic partisans can confuse the issue by suddenly finding ‘uncounted’ ballots all over the state.  As of this post, in fact, Al Franken is in the lead.  Should he win, he’ll have promoted himself from a bad joke to a cruel joke, and improved his status in the world.

Why is this happening?  In my humble opinion, it’s because Coleman has proven himself worthy of maverick support by acting like the Master Maverick, John McCain.  In fact, I’ve received more than one emergency request for funding from the National Republican Lawyer’s Association as they attempt to avert this travesty.  This suggests that Coleman is enjoying more than his fair share of maverick donations and support on his behalf.  After all of his maverick work, he deserves it.

And since you might wonder:  no, I’m not brushing past the ‘election stealing’ part of all of this.  I’m just celebrating an overwheming groundswell of maverick support for yet another deserving Senator.  How else to you explain the maverick success Coleman may well receive in getting re-elected?

I bet Coleman just loves emulating the Master Maverick now.  Who wouldn’t?

YankMcCain.com Rides Again

Yes, it’s been a while.

I’ll grant that I’ve had some difficulty trying to determine what to do with this site for the last month and a half or so.  Sometimes, it even seemed that creating it was almost as pointless as putting gold leaf on a gold brick.  If I had known the Master Maverick was going to do such a good job of mavericking himself in the last election, I wouldn’t have even bothered.  Still, it’s sad to see so much hard maverick work go to waste, and I couldn’t bring myself to pull it down.

That left me with a problem.  After the presidential election, YankMcCain.com wasn’t relevant anymore, or so I thought.  Then, I heard that not only did McCain want to get re-elected in 2010, but that he was reverting to form to do it.  So I thought:

If he can come back after his presidential mavericking, so can I!

So, for your viewing pleasure, it’s the:

  • Bigger
  • Better
  • More ridiculous
  • New and improved
  • Rarely imitated and never duplicated

Return of YANKMCCAIN.COM!

I’m going to heap maverick adulation on every move the Master Maverick makes while my domain name ages like a fine wine over the next two years. Furthermore, during the few minutes every year he’s not thinking he’s entitled to his well deserved camera time, I’ll talk about other, less important things.  Things like the national political landscape.  Whether policies are going to damage the country.  Heck, I might even wonder why Britney’s wearing clothes in public again.

Merry Maverick Christmas, America.  Just like John McCain, you had this site coming.
