…that people know him because of his daughter.

There is a bit of ego in play but every parent loves to see their children succeed and even more so if they surpass them.

However much I think he is bollocks on the issues I really get a kick on seeing him on Morning Joe, you can see very much how proud both he is of his daughter and vice versa.

Politics come and go, arguments wax and wane, policies become stale, but in the end the it is that bond between a father and daughter. That is something that really matters in life.

If that sounds like sentimental pap to you…well I like sentimental pap.
Even more fun is the In fact the Miley Cyrus emphasizes it. Cyrus hit Mika for suggesting that pole dancing on an ice cream truck might not have been the best choice for a program that is being sold to pre-teen girls. Her defiant answer concluded thusly:

It’s funny. I don’t know if a lot of parents remember what they were like as kids. But I’m like, ‘Dude, as if you were an angel!

Zbigniew answered that she wasn’t always an angel and the look on her face was priceless.

BTW Miley you have certainly grown up. You are old enough to make a fool out of yourself. 50 million parents are shaking their heads and saying “You’ll see”.

Update put the block quote where it belonged

The plan was to get downstairs first and cook her favorite Pancakes and Kielbasa (from Romano’s natch) so they would be ready when she came down at 7:30 or so.

First Danny overslept and missed his bus, no problem I mixed the batter and got everything heated so when I got back I could quickly cook the stuff.

Then the wife comes down early while I’m in the bathroom and informs me she is getting blood work this morning…has to fast. She never told me.

So unless anyone out there wants pancakes and Kielbasa for breakfast my cunning plan is shot, soooo since the wife never reads my blog we will go to plan B.

I can cook the stuff around 10:45-11, drop it off at her work for 11:20 or so and from there head for the lunch meeting with Chris. That will give me a chance to pick up the trinket I picked out while covering the Tea party stuff on main street.

It’s not a great plan B but it will have to do.

The field guide returns with Chris “Smitty” Smith of The Other McCain:

It is impossible to meet Smitty or spend any length of time with him without realizing that he is a gentleman of the first order and a pleasure to be with.

Spent the night working on my taxes and at a hospitality meeting for my church.

Meanwhile in at a blog near you see see the following:

Camp of the Saints celebrates St. Patrick’s day by bringing on Rule 5 a few days early as he puts it “Erin go braless”.

How is it that visiting the camp of the saints tend to make a person want to sin?

Over at the DaHospitalityGuy’s place he talks on a much more serious note about anti-depressants and unemployment:

Am I depressed? Of course I am. Naturally who wouldn’t be? I’m without a job. I’m without my family. I miss reading to my daughter. I miss playing with my son. I miss giving hugs and kisses and hearing them say I love you daddy.

Do I need a pill to take those feelings away? No. I want to miss my children. I want to care. I have a purpose. I don’t want a pill to cover that up and make me feel artificially better.

I know things have been hard for me but If you have some prayers to offer, I’d send them his way first.

Meanwhile at Haemet the charming Roxeanne (yet another example of 20/40) reminds of that we conservatives have been declared defeated many times before:

In the fifteen months since the Left declared us to be a waning political group and a thing of the past, we’ve seen:

* The popularity of conservatism eclipse that of liberalism;
* “Swing state” Virginia elect a hard-core conservative a twenty-point margin;
* New Jersey elect a conservative governor;
* Prius-driving Bostonians go crazy over Scott Brown, who campaigned on the promise of stopping the liberals in DC; and
* Barack Obama’s approval ratings drop to the lowest point of any sitting President at this time in an administration.

Running score: Leftists, 0; conservatives, 1.

Have of the battle is the willingness to keep fighting.
