Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Here is my example with today's WFTD.

Any attempt to clean the Augean Stable of democrat corruption in Washington must start with one step, and the GOP took a huge one last night. For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (or at least not ashamed that they are part of my country). That said, Kathleen Parker is clearly clueless in her attempt to analyze the implications of this election.
Scott Brown's Ascendancy As A 'Massachusetts Man Of The People'

No pushing at the door please!

Happy Humpday Everybody!

Only days left until BO's replacement is sworn in.

IT'S ABOUT DANG TIME!!!

Get to class you slackers!

I'll say it again: For the first time in my adult life, I am not ashamed of the fact that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is part of my country!

i kind of want them to do this, to try to, anyway> it would set 2010 in stone.

[CholeraJoe]

The Kennedys must be spinning in their graves that their hereditary title has passed to a commoner AND a Republican.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

To help clean the Augean Stable
Of dems, here’s Scott Brown at the table
For the libs, so much drama
Shift the blame from Obama
And continue his “Hope and Change” fable

[Robert A Cook PE]

It took a river to clean the filth out of the original stable.

And now, to clean the second? (Potomac ain’t big enough. Maybe use the Augean Sea? We auger think about a bigger solution to the hole problem.)

[Diogenesis]

The Augean stable of ACORN.

[xsmommy]

More Augean cleansing is prescribed by Victor Davis Hanson

The best thing that could happen to Barack Obama is more Democratic losses in hodgepodge elections that might yank away our young transfixed Narcissus from his mesmerizing reflecting pool

[NeoCaveman]

The Kennedys must be spinning in their graves that their hereditary title has passed to a commoner AND a Republican.

Ironic that Ted Kennedy killed healthcare by staying around the Senate one term too long, leading to this vacancy. Ha.

[tioga]

My two little girlies are on their way to visit me this morning......YEAH! I cannot wait to hug them!

[TheGrimReaper]

Well, his delicate little infantile worldview has been shattered, so it’s understandable.

To those who say Brown is just a RINO (and obviously we're not going to get a Dick Armey in MA), check out the following points that he raised in his victory speech:

• One thing is clear, voters do not want the trillion-dollar health care bill that is being forced on the American people.
• I will work in the Senate to put government back on the side of people who create jobs, and the millions of people who need jobs - and as President John F. Kennedy taught us, that starts with an across the board tax cut for individuals and businesses that will create jobs and stimulate the economy. It's that simple!
• And let me say this, with respect to those who wish to harm us, I believe that our Constitution and laws exist to protect this nation - they do not grant rights and privileges to enemies in wartime. In dealing with terrorists, our tax dollars should pay for weapons to stop them, not lawyers to defend them.
• Raising taxes, taking over our health care, and giving new rights to terrorists is the wrong agenda for our country.
  
   

Is he the fire-breathing red-meat conservative that we need at the top of our ticket in 2012? Probably not. But I doubt that he is the milque-toast, panty-waste, squishy republican turncoat that we have come to expect from Northeastern GOP senators over the years because of clowns like Spectre, and Chafee, and Jeffords, et al.
