Ric Flair endorses Huckabee
From CNN:
COLUMBIA, South Carolina (CNN) – In the race for presidential endorsements, Mike Huckabee has the kitschy pop culture celebrity vote on lockdown.
First it was martial arts hero and “Walker, Texas Ranger” star Chuck Norris, who appears with Huckabee in his first TV ad.
Then hard-rocking hunting enthusiast Ted Nugent jumped on the Huckabee bandwagon, citing the Republican’s support for second amendment rights.
Now, Huckabee is getting ready to rumble: wrestler Ric Flair, a.k.a. The Nature Boy, is supporting the former Arkansas governor in his bid for the White House.
CNN has confirmed the former WWF and WWE star wrestler is on board with Huckabee, and will co-host a campaign tailgate with the candidate at the South Carolina vs. Clemson football game on Saturday afternoon in Columbia, South Carolina. More details are forthcoming.
Gotta say it… “Wooooooooooooo!”
Zig Zigglar endorses Huckabee
Celebrities and politics
Re: the Mike Huckabee TV ad with Chuck Norris…
From the Fred Thompson team:
With his new campaign ad featuring Chuck Norris, Mike Huckabee has confused celebrity endorsement with serious policy.
You heard it from Fred: Celebrities and serious policy don’t mix!
Just how does this blog thing work?
Well, I heard some interesting questions, comments and such about my blog this weekend. It’s always nice to get feedback whenever you can (of course anyone can always drop me an e-mail with questions or feedback).
But several people said they didn’t understand why/how they had to register to leave a comment on my blog.
I introduced new rules for leaving comments due to the large amount of spam I’m now getting as comments. Luckily my spam filters stop most of it but since Thursday of last week, I’ve had nearly 200 spam comments. Gripes.
Anyways, I thought I’d walk everyone through the registration process and show you how to comment on SSL.

Taking out Saddam
NPR has a story on a head-scratching quote from then-Gov. George W. Bush that almost ran in a San Antonio Express News article. Bush reflected on why his father did not “take out” Saddam Hussein.
In the interview with the paper in 1997, Bush said that the consequences of killing Hussein — losing U.S. soldiers as the result of sniper fire — would “turn the tide of public opinion very quickly.”
The quote was published for the first time this week; it was not used in the original San Antonio Express News story because the reporter also interviewed former President George H.W. Bush, and he added the elder Bush’s remarks in the story at the expense of his son’s — seemingly innocuous — quote.
