GOP’s Death Greatly Over-Promoted
One question: If the GOP is DOA, why is it possible to do some damage in the Northeast in 2010? That’s not a sign of a dying party.
Barack Obama could be the very best thing to happen to the GOP in a few years. Things have reached the point where I think Eric Cantor is right – the GOP is going to win big next November. Is it possible all the GOP needs to do is to be the party of “No Bama“?
The reports of the GOP have been greatly exaggerated, to borrow from Mark

FOX now reports she is resigning at the end of the month.
SECOND UPDATE: What is going on here? There are those who think she is betraying Alaska by stepping down and others think it will help her run.

Idiot Dems Plan Obama’s 3rd Term
Some idiot Dems are trying to repeal the 22nd Amendment so Bambi can have a 3rd term. Poor idiots don’t realize that there are two words standing his way and a 3rd term nomination: Bill Clinton – tanned, rested, ready, bored.
Also – if the 22nd is repealed, we can bring back George W. Bush!
On January 6, 2009, Congressman Jose Serrano introduced legislation in the House of Representatives to Repeal the Twenty-Second Amendment. Read more and you will find it really isn’t an Obama thing – but rather a Jose Serrano thing.
The process takes 7 years.
Third Term?
Do you really think Bill Clinton, no matter how old he might be, would lt this one go by?
The Conservative – Libertarian War Against the GOP
Are you as tired of the far right attack machine as am I?
Regular Pink Flamingo readers are well aware that I have a serious problem with a certain kind of “conservative”. My complaint has nothing to do with normal average regular day by day conservatives, but with a handful of ultra right, showman, egotistical, third party hypocrites who are nothing but self-serving aggrandizing mentally defective individuals who must collect followers in order to be full-filled. Prime examples are Michelle Malkin, Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Ron Paul (and his Bots), anyone connected with Vdare, the former editorial staff of the WTimes, Robert Stacy McCain included. Then there are the self-serving Libertarians like Neal Bortz and Michael Savage. This is the Conservative Hall of Shame. They will do ANYTHING necessary to maintain their choke hold of power and the limelight.
Thus said…

How much longer are Republicans going to put up with this do-do?
Things are not that bad.
We’re dealing with Democrats who are insulting the last four letters of the word “democRATS”. Obama is growing more and more incompetent by the day. Even Helen Thomas is turning on him. His con job is starting to be exposed to the light of day. He made a huge mistake not backing the freedom fighters in Iran and backing the Marxist in Honduras. Unemployment will soon hit double digits.
Republicans are idiots.
I simply cannot find another way to nail it.
We are idiots.
The problem with Republicans is the fact that we are too nice.
We’re putting up with the you know what thrown at us by the Dems and by conservatives. Then we must put up with that freak Glenn Beck. If the Dems take the House and Senate again in 2010 it will be Beck’s fault.

Have You Heard the One About the 35,000 Year Old Flute?
The oldest known musical instrument has been found in a cave in Germany. Made from the bone of a griffon vulture, and rather sophisticated, the “vulture” connotation is rather interesting.
It also suggests early humans were far more sophisticated than once believed.
“…The cave is the same one where Conard found the recently described 40,000-year-old Venus figurine, the oldest known representation of the female form; as well as a host of other artifacts, including ivory carvings of a horse’s or bear’s head; a water bird that may be in flight; and a half-human, half-lion figure.
The cave, which was occupied for millenniums, “is one of the most wonderfully clear windows into the past, where conditions of preservation are just right,” Shea said. “Combine that with a gifted excavator,
UPDATED: When Will Sanford Resign?
UPDATED: This story may be breaking quickly now. Basically Lindsey, Gresham, and Jim DeMint have pulled the plug on Sanford’s life support system. I don’t think it’s going to be long now.
ORIGINAL POST: SC’s sometimes annoying FTS is reporting that there is a “Come to Jesus” moment going on behind the scenes in SC between Mark Sanford and his “close” advisors. Evidently the gig is up and Sanford needs to high tail it out of Columbia and head for Argentina to take the waters.
Look for Mark Sanford to either resign during the MJ state funeral, or after it. It all depends on how much attention he actually wants.
Can’t you just feel the love?

Molasses To Rum to Slaves
This is dedicated to conservatives who refuse to compromise, who are standing their ground, refusing to give an inch. If they had been in charge in 1776, we would never have had a Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson was called upon to make major compromises with his original document, including the issue of slavery.

(505) 298-3662Democrats’ Cap-and-Tax Legislation to Drive up Energy Costs
Reps. Heinrich, Lujan, and Teague Advance Pelosi’s AgendaALBUQUERQUE—Harvey Yates Jr., chairman of the Republican Party of New Mexico, issued the following statement concerning the passage of cap-and-tax legislation passed late Friday in the U.S. House of Representatives:
“During a time of economic crisis, it is disappointing that New Mexico’s freshman delegation has bowed to Speaker Nancy Pelosi and advanced a multi-billion dollar national energy tax. As a consequence, Americans will feel the impact of this tax when we fill up our gas tanks, buy airline tickets, pay our utility bills and buy groceries. At a time when American families are struggling, this administration and this unwarranted legislation continue to move America in the wrong
Congressman Harry Teague’s Excuse for Cap & Trade
The Pink Flamingo just received a canned response to why he voted, once again with Nancy Pelosi on Cap & Trade. Last week I published my letter to Teague. He finally responded with this gem:

Dear SJ, (Note the incorrect usage of my first name and not a proper “Ms Reidhead”)
Thank you for contacting me about H.R. 2454, the American Clean Energy and Security Act. I have spent over 30 years working to build prosperity and opportunity in Southern New Mexico, and I appreciate having the benefit of your views as I continue that work in the United States Congress.
As you know, H.R. 2454 includes a number of provisions to create new clean energy jobs, promote a new clean energy industry, reduce pollution, and reduce our dependence on foreign sources

Misssion Accomplished (Finally) (We Hope)
COURAGE, LEADERSHIP, HONOR!
Once upon a time the United States of America had a great President who had the courage of his convictions and was not afraid to do what he felt was right, no matter how badly he was treated.
Now, any mess that is made from this day forward, any mischief Iran will create belongs to his predecessor.
It is also time to take stock and remember the brave men and women who gave their all for Iraqi freedom. It could not happen today because we no have a POTUS who does not believe in freedom or democracy and has no problem standing up for the forces of Marxism and evil.
What a difference a year makes.
One of these days the world is going to wake up with a massive hang-over and admit their
Never Forget: The Night of the Long Knives
On June 30, 1934 any pretense of what was going on in Nazi Germany disappeared.
“…Nacht der langen Messer (help·info)) or “Operation Hummingbird”, was a purge that took place in Nazi Germany between June 30 and July 2, 1934, when the Nazi regime carried out a series of political executions, most of those killed being members of the Sturmabteilung (SA), the paramilitary Brownshirts. Adolf Hitler moved against the SA and its leader, Ernst Röhm, because he saw the independence of the SA and the penchant of its members for street violence as a direct threat to his power. Hitler also wanted to conciliate leaders of the Reichswehr, the official German military. They both feared and despised the SA and in particular feared Röhm’s ambition to absorb the Reichswehr into the SA under his own leadership. Finally, Hitler used the purge to attack or eliminate
Lindsey Graham & Idiot Conservatives: Will Someone Shut That Man Up?
There are two wonderful lines in the opening scene of 1776. John Adams is driving everyone crazy, and vice versa, because Congress is doing nothing but piddle…
After once again complaining, there is a telling line:
“Will someone shut this man up?”
John Adams stops out of the room shouting, “Never! Never!”
Naturally conservatives who demand 100% purity and don’t like Lindsey Graham. That’s okay, the same mind-set couldn’t stand John Adams either. Lindsey says exactly what he thinks. People don’t like honesty and honor, especially not conservatives (non Republican) who don’t understand that this nation was built on leadership, compromise, and self-less behavior.
John Adams was willing to do what it took to secure Independence. He was outspoken and courageous. Right now
Feast of St. Peter & Paul Brings Fascinating News!
Today is the Feast Day of St. Peter and St. Paul. Pope Benedict XVI (I think he’s cute) said that he thinks the bones they’ve been testing do belong to St. Paul.
The earliest known image of St. Paul has also been revealed. Funny how it looks just about the way I thought he would!
“…n Saturday, the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano announced the June 19 discovery of a fresco inside another tomb depicting St. Paul, which Vatican officials said represented the oldest known icon of the apostle.
Benedict said archaeologists recently unearthed and opened the white marble sarcophagus located under the Basilica of St. Paul’s Outside the Walls in Rome, which for some 2,000 years has
Barack, Hugo, and Their Little Friend in Honduras
The Pink Flamingo is going to be on the road all day, but wants to pose one simple little question: Why are Barack Obama and Hugo Chavez both defending the same man, ousted Honduran President Zelaya?
Why is Barack Obama defending someone who proved to be a leftist thug quickly, but took forever to come out in support of the freedom fighters in Iran?
Secondly: Why are we forced to get our information from CNN and not FOX? That’s simple, FOX has turned into a platform to worship a dead alleged pedophile.
Makes you wonder, doesn’t it?

Major Archaeological Discovery in SC
Twenty year ago there were many of us who hoped this day would come. We’ve known for quite some time that there was a MAJOR Clovis culture in South Carolina. The problem was o one would believe it. The worst problem is the fact that with the advent of so many of the man-made lakes in the state, many important sites were destroyed.
There was always talk of a “pre Clovis” culture….
FINALLY!
The State is reporting:
“…University of South Carolina archaeologist Albert Goodyear found artifacts at this rock quarry site near the Savannah River that indicate humans lived here 37,000 years before the Clovis people. History books say the Clovis were the first Americans and arrived here 13,000 years ago by walking across a land bridge from Asia.
Goodyear’s discovery could prove otherwise.
His findings are controversial,
3 Foot Piranah
Talk about the fish that got away, what about the Megapiranah. No it’s not a movie, but a 3 foot fossil piranah.
“…Present-day piranhas have a single row of triangular teeth, like the blade on a saw, explained the researchers. Pacu have two rows of square teeth, presumably for crushing fruits and seeds.
“In modern piranhas the teeth are arranged in a single file,” said Wasila Dahdul, a visiting scientist at the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center in North Carolina. “But in the relatives of piranhas — which tend to be herbivorous fishes — the teeth are in two rows.”
The new fossil shows an intermediate pattern: teeth in a zig-zag row. This suggests that the two rows in pacu were compressed to form a single row in piranhas. “It almost looks like the teeth are migrating from the second row into the first
