Our Favorite Blogs: Innominatus

This article is the first in a scheduled eight-part series. We here at Jumping in Pools love our fellow blogs out there on internet-land, so here is something to give back.

One of Our Favorite Blogs: Innominatus

Why they're cool- One of JiP's first friends on the scary internet, Innominatus has been good to us. Creative, funny, original, and political, there is never anything not to like about the site. Heck, Innominatus even shows up as one of our "tags" when we label a story.

Their blog in their own words:

What is your site's goal for the next year?

My only goal is to have fun with it. Wish I had more time and energy to devote to it, but alas... So I'll just continue to write what I feel like, when I feel like it. I used to feel pressure to keep producing fresh material and grow my traffic, but that turns writing into a chore and the quality begins to suffer. I'm not going down that road again.

What makes your site unique?

I have an Outrageously McBitchin' Header Graphic. Actually, my parody posts are the bread-n-butter of the site. I post an occasional item that is thoughtful and serious, but most of my posts are just spoofs that are meant only to entertain. I strive for originality, and if I can't think of something fresh and/or provocative, then I'll just not post that day.
When did you found your site?

I started it about 2.5 years ago but it sat dormant for a long time. Only since the current regime took over have I been posting regularly.

Anything else you would like to add?

I can't wait to do my Superior Dance in all the lefties' faces after this next election!

Zogby: 71% Say No to Censoring South Park

According to a new Zogby poll, 71% of those asked stated that Comedy Central should not have censored last week's episode of South Park featuring a depiction of the Prophet Mohammed. Not only did the netowrk edit the image of Mohammed but also bleeped out his name and a speech about censorship. Talk about something out of Fahrenheit 451.

From the Zogby poll: 

	Overall	Democrats	Republicans	Independents
Agree	19%	27%	9%	19%
Disagree	71%	60%	87%	68%
Do not follow/Not Sure	10%	13%	5%	13%

 So according to this, 27% of Democrats support the decision to censor South Park instead of betraying 'sensibilities.' Although, to somewhat of their credit, 60% of Democrats oppose the censorship. Republicans are nearly unanimous against this attack on free speech in the name of political correctness.

Laura Bush Blasts Reid, Pelosi

Former First Lady Laura Bush has written a memoir about her life called Spoken from the Heart. In this volume she discusses personal issues as well as those surrounding the presidency of her husband.

Among the revelations include:

* Speculation that world leaders may have been poisoned at a G8 Summit.

* Blasting Nancy Pelosi for her petty attacks against President Bush.

* Defending President Bush from the stupid attacks leveled by Harry Reid.

* An excerpt:

“The comments were uncalled for and graceless,” she writes. “While a president’s political opponents, as well as his supporters, are entitled to make what they see as legitimate criticisms, and while our national debates should be spirited, these particular worlds revealed the petty and parochial nature of some who serve in Congress.”

Charlie Crist, Shoes, and Florida politics.

Remember when Conservatives and Republicans from across America supported Doug Hoffman over "Dede" Scozzafava last November? I was apart of that movement from day one, but I was naive; I figured a situation such as that would never happen again. Well, it appears I was wrong. Dead wrong in fact.

Governor Charlie Crist (R-Florida) is going to soon announce his Independent bid for Florida's United States Senate election this November, after "leading and than trailing as a Republican" over the last twelve months, which has witnessed the incredible rise of Marco Rubio in Republican ranks, but the Governor cannot accept defeat to a Conservative man.

What you sow is what you reap should be the Conservative motto of the afternoon, we pushed Scozzafava out of the race last November for a more Conservative Republican, well a supposed Republican is now pushing Republican roadblocks out of the way, and he's running as a moderate Independent.

Crist is a sore loser. Republicans want a real Republican: Marco Rubio. Republicans want a party united for Republican principles: Marco Rubio. But, Charlie Crist is an arrogant, self-righteous political pig who wants his power and who wants to spite Republicans. Even his appointed "seat warmer" is distancing himself from Crist. Who wouldn't?

Here's what I predict for the Florida election:

Rubio - 45% of the vote.
Meeks - 43% of the vote.
Crist - 12% of the vote.

Republicans will shelter around Rubio, Democrats will cling to Meeks, and Crist will steal away most Independents from Rubio and Meeks, forcing the Florida Senate race to be about turnout instead of "debate it out". Rubio should win, but if he doesn't and if Senate Republicans fail to recapture the Senate due to a Rubio loss: We should demand the political head of Charlie Crist.
