Daily Dolt: It Helps That The Movement Conservatives in Illinois are Really Dumb

It’s not Emil that would really anger everyone:
So Jones, who is retiring as president of the state senate, is a perfect choice. Didn’t he resign just in time for his ward boss buddies to install his son, Emil III, on the November ballot unopposed? Didn’t he help Blagojevich in his blood feud with House Speaker Mike Madigan, turning the General Assembly into a do-nothing quagmire of epic proportions?
So governor, pick your pal Jones.
In order to bring real change to Illinois, the public needs to get a lot angrier than it is. This will really help.

The Clownshow Continues
Alan Keyes is suing to have Obama declared not a natural born citizen:
The California action was filed by Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation on behalf of Alan Keyes, the presidential candidate of the American Independent Party, along with Wiley S. Drake and Markham Robinson, both California electors.
“Should Senator Obama be discovered, after he takes office, to be ineligible for the Office of President of the United States of America and, thereby, his election declared void, Petitioners, as well as other Americans, will suffer irreparable harm in that (a) usurper will be sitting as the President of the United States, and none of the treaties, laws, or executive orders signed by him will be valid or legal,” the action challenges.
The petition is a request for the Superior Court of California in Sacramento County to issue a peremptory writ barring Secretary of State Debra Bowen “from both certifying to the governor the names of the California Electors, and from transmitting to each presidential Elector a Certificate of Election, until such documentary proof is produced and verified showing that Senator Obama is a ‘natural born’ citizen of the United States and does not hold citizenship of Indonesia, Kenya or Great Britain.”
It continues with a request for a writ barring California’s electors from signing the Certificate of Vote until documentary proof is produced.
It’s really hard to be this stupid:
“Since [the Secretary of State] has, as its core, the mission of certifying and establishing the validity of the election process, this writ seeks a Court Order barring SOS from certifying the California Electors until documentary proof that Senator Obama is a ‘natural born’ citizen of the United States of America is received by her,” the document said.
“This proof could include items such as his original birth certificate, showing the name of the hospital and the name and the signature of the doctor, all of his passports with immigration stamps, and verification from the governments where the candidate has resided, verifying that he did not, and does not, hold citizenship of these countries, and any other documents that certify an individual’s citizenship and/or qualification for office.
The essential point here is that Hawaii has produced an official document released by Obama. At that point the full faith and credit clause applies and all of this is nonsense.
We are up for at least a full four year term of this craziness.
The Golden Wingnut
It must be very strange to be President Bush. A man of extraordinary vision and brilliance approaching to genius, he can’t get anyone to notice. He is like a great painter or musician who is ahead of his time, and who unveils one masterpiece after another to a reception that, when not bored, is hostile.
The clear frontrunner for this year:
Obama thinks he is a good talker, but he is often undisciplined when he speaks. He needs to understand that as President, his words will be scrutinized and will have impact whether he intends it or not. In this regard, President Bush is an excellent model; Obama should take a lesson from his example. Bush never gets sloppy when he is speaking publicly. He chooses his words with care and precision, which is why his style sometimes seems halting. In the eight years he has been President, it is remarkable how few gaffes or verbal blunders he has committed. If Obama doesn’t raise his standards, he will exceed Bush’s total before he is inaugurated.
I particularly enjoyed the precision with which he accidentally changed US policy towards Taiwan.

Deep Thought
How does my choice of Khaki and light green today mean for my true underlying political thoughts?
Bud Selig Must Be Stopped
Apparently has ruled out Mark Cuban as an owner of the Cubs.
Given the idiots allowed to own baseball teams, eliminating Mark Cuban is baffling.
Depressed Republican Turnout
Is a big part of the story–and it was the story in 1994 when Democrats turned out at lower levels.
I Feel Obama’s Pain
Some genius who is not me promised my children a dog if the Obama’s got one.
