It's day #22 of the Republican 'staycation'.

The lights are still out on the House floor as well as in Nancy Pelosi's head. Congress still hasn't done anything to help solve our current energy crisis or work on a solution for the future.

Republicans are continuing their discussion of the American Energy Act, and they are waiting for a vote on the House floor. Great job, Madame Speaker!

While the House Democrats have been home enjoying their vacation, or partying it up at the Democratic National Convention, the House Republicans have been present and accounted for. They've been on the floor of the House, ready to work.

What causes Down's syndrome? According to Wikipedia,

Down syndrome, Down's syndrome, or trisomy 21 is a chromosomal disorder caused by the presence of all or part of an extra 21st chromosome. It is named after John Langdon Down, the British doctor who described the syndrome in 1866. The disorder was identified as a chromosome 21 trisomy by Jérôme Lejeune in 1959. The condition is characterized by a combination of major and minor differences in structure. Often Down syndrome is associated with some impairment of cognitive ability and physical growth as well as facial appearance. Down syndrome can be identified during pregnancy or at birth.

There is nothing you can do to cause someone to "catch" Down's syndrome. Once you find out you are pregnant, there is nothing you can do to cause your child to "get" Down's syndrome.

Alan Colmes has lost his mind. He actually thinks that Sarah Palin's baby has Down's syndrome because she is a bad mother. What a moron.

He has completely lost it. Yes, I know, that last link takes you to a 'Error 404' page. He removed the post in question, then he tries to explain it away with a post titled "Technical Issues". I love this quote from that post:

For a guy who probably wears Festina watches and makes a lot of money for talking, he sure put his foot in it with this one. Personally, I think he is sick. There is something really wrong in his brain.

What causes Colmes' syndrome?

Colmes' syndrome is a neurological disorder caused by the sudden death of thousands of brain cells. It is thought that these brain cells die because of a sudden complete vacuum of oxygen in the surrounding tissues. The syndrome is contagious and is named after Alan Colmes, the Fox News personality who is known to be 'Case #1' with the first known outbreak. Other disorders are caused by similar neurological events, but only Colmes' syndrome includes a combination of political discourse, asinine assumptions, and a lack of personal character. Colmes' syndrome is often associated with cable news broadcasts and once you have been exposed, you must take proper measures (such as changing the channel) to prevent full infection.

You can prevent Colmes' syndrome. Colmes' syndrome is 100% preventable.

Alan Colmes is not only a moron, but now, he is the very first winner of this year's CIPA award! Congratulations Alan!

For months I have said that this presidential election would come down to the candidates' choice for vice-president. I know, it's crazy isn't it? Who bases their choice for President of the United States on that person's choice in a running mate? I'm not sure if anyone else does, but this year, I do.

I do not like Barack Obama. I never have. With all his talk of hope, change, and inspiration, I have yet to hear him state a single thing he will do that fills me with hope. I have yet to hear him tell me what he is going to change that will actually make things different. I have yet to hear him say anything that inspires me to vote for him. Don't get mad, I am just being honest.

Now, here's another tidbit you will love.

I do not like John McCain either. I never have. He has worked hard on the opposite side of many issues that are important to me. For years he has been known as a RINO in Washington. A Republican In Name Only. While it's true that he has an exemplary record when it comes to some conservative issues, I have a hard time reconciling that record with his record on many issues like illegal immigration and energy.

Both candidates have now chosen their vice-presidential running mates.

Barack Obama chose Joseph Biden, the senator from Delaware. I found nothing hopeful in that decision. Joe Biden has been in Washington since 1972, where is the change? Truth be told, I do not find the Obama-Biden ticket to be inspiring at all.

John McCain chose Sarah Palin, the governor of Alaska. And now, I finally get it.

For the past year I have heard Barack Obama talk about hope. I saw that hope today when Sarah Palin walked out and greeted the crowd in Dayton, Ohio. For the first time since this election cycle started I have hope that America might not be going to hell in a hand-basket.

In addition to hope, Barack Obama has spoken of change. Nothing embodies the word change more than Sarah Palin. She is known as a barracuda on the basketball court, and as governor she spent her time cleaning up corruption in the state of Alaska. If any of the candidates, for president or vice-president, represent the true possibility that things can change, it's her.

It's an understatement to say that I haven't been inspired much this election cycle. I threw my support behind Fred Thompson when he announced his candidacy only to find that Fred really didn't want the job. Since then, I haven't endorsed a single candidate on the national level, and I had no intention to do so. Neither Barack Obama nor John McCain have inspired me in the slightest, and truth be told, until today I was planning to vote for a third-party candidate. But John McCain chose Sarah Palin and inspired me.

Barack Obama was right. We can have hope for the future. We can change things. We can be inspired. Thank you Senator McCain for choosing Sarah Palin as your running mate.

On the August 24th episode of 'Meet The Press', Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi denied that her investment in Clean Energy Fuels Corporation was worth $100,000 to $200,000.

She lied.

While everyone thought she adjourned the House so she could embark on a spectacular book tour, she was instead, making sure the focus was kept off of her real reason for not wanting to solve America's energy crisis.

She promised the most ethical Congress in our nation's history.

She lied.

Shame on you Speaker Pelosi.
