UMHB put the spank on Texas Lutheran yesterday.
Very nicely done. This is the third game UMHB seems to have walked all over their opponents.
It may easily be one of the best teams, if not the best teams the school has ever produced.
Should we start planning a trip to Salem yet?

Monday is Vertical Day
Monday is Vertical Day.
What is Vertical Day?
From the Mike Huckabee campaign:
The focus of Vertical Day will be a discussion of the most important issues facing America. The plan is to promote my positions on these issues through video and personal blogs, and to have an online conversation with voters about our ideas, the solutions we see possible, our hopes for America and the challenges we face.
So check out the Huckabee campaign site tomorrow, Sept. 23rd and join in the conversation!
GOP needs minorities
From the AP:
Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee of Arkansas said Friday his fellow Republicans would be making a devastating mistake in the race for the White House if they ignore minorities, unions and other traditionally Democratic groups.
While the proliferation of debates has cut into the time candidates have to campaign and raise funds, Huckabee said he has reached out to the AARP, the National Education Association and other groups that tend to vote Democratic.
“I want to be the president of the United States, not just the president of the Republican Party,” Mike Huckabee said. “I’m still a conservative and I still believe in lower taxes and less government. I’m pro-life and I’m pro-family, but it doesn’t mean that I’m not going to listen … and it doesn’t mean I’m not going to govern with a view to being a president to everybody.”

I just have to share this great photo of my mate Thomas over in Scotland. He’s got a lot of great photos from a wedding he and his entire family was in this weekend.
His life Olly sang, and his daughters Miriam and Dayna were both in the wedding as well as the flower girl and a brides maid.
Congrats to the new married couple and thanks for the fun pics Thomas.
I don’t think my life would let me get away with wearing kilts at our wedding. 😉 Maybe I should have tried cowboy boots and Stetsons.
Photoshop fun
My life, Laurie, is taking a photoshop class this semester at Richland College.
She has to have a website for her class so we copied over to Casa de Blundell as well.
You can view her work as she progresses here:

Huckabee fluent with the NRA
The Campaign Spot has info on today’s speeches at the NRA convention
Fred wowed ’em, the crowd loved McCain’s rejoinder to the Code Pink protester, Mitt Romney’s video went over well, and Rudy Giuliani earned their respect. But the guy who absolutely looked the most at home before the NRA today was probably Mike Huckabee.
Beginning with a jab at Rosie O’Donnell, and saying that because he was underdressed, he felt “as out of place as George Soros at an American Legion post”, Huckabee used humor and homespun anecdotes to prove his bona fides as “one of them.”
He made a fairly sharp observation when he mildly mocked other politicians who answer a question about the Second Amendment with hunting stories, pointing out that the Second Amendment, while guaranteeing a hunter’s right to own a firearm, is not about establishing a right to hunt, it is about a right to own a firearm for personal protection. The NRA is made up of two distinct groups (with a bit of an overlap) – hunters (usually owning shotguns and rifles) and those who own handguns for personal protection. The latter is often forgotten about, lives all over the country, and is often not terribly motivated by rhetoric about hunting.
