Dear Readers,
There's a guy named Wil Cardon who is running against Jeff Flake in the Republican primary for Senator.
I don't know too much about Cardon, but from what I do know, it looks like Wil Cardon is a more formidable opponent than I had previously thought. I initially dismissed him because Seeing Red Arizona dismissed him, but maybe I shouldn't have been so dismissive.
The most important thing you need to know about Wil Cardon is that he's a ka-trillinoaire. An ultra-super-mega ka-trillionaire. And he earned that money fair and square. And he's going to spend a whole bunch of his own money to take down Jeff Flake.
Now, Jeff Flake is a pretty good conservative, but there's a lot of things I don't like about him.
I don't like his stance on global warming and cap and trade. He thinks it's real, and he likes the cap and trade idea.
I don't like his stance on illegal immigration. He's soft.
I don't like his career in politics. Flake's never had a real job. And if he becomes our Senator next year, then he'll most likely be our Senator for at least thirty years. That's the way politics work, you know.
I don't like his blonde highlights.
So... I think I support Wil Cardon. I wonder if Sherrif Joe Arpaio will endorse Wil Cardon. Sherrif Joe endorsed Jeff Smith, Jeff Flake's challenger for Representative last year, so... if the trend continues... Cardon should get Arpaio's support.
What Cardon doesn't have is an strong campaign organization, like Flake has. Cardon's going to have to spend a lot of money to get people to recognize his name and convince people that he'll do a better job than Flake.
But I think Cardon's already convinced me. I think I support Wil Cardon.
Sincerely,
Telemoonfa

Pope Benedict remarked that “economic laws must always take account of the interests and the protection of this fundamental cell of society.” In today’s troubled economic environment, many families are suffering and a new approach to economic affairs is needed, the Pontiff argued.
Simple justice is not enough to ensure an economic system that favors the family, the Pope said. “In order for true justice to exist, it is necessary to add gratuitousness and solidarity.” These qualities are not ensured by the free market, nor can they be delegated to the state, he said.
Thus, the Pope said, the challenge for Christians is to devise “those types of economic initiative which, without rejecting profit, aim at a higher goal than the mere logic of the exchange of equivalents, of profit as an end in itself.”
Yeah, I heard on the Drudge Report that the Pope called for a new World Bank. I'm totally against that idea. In some ways, the Catholic Church is kind of liberal when it comes to illegal immigration and financial stuff, but when it comes to abortion and gay marriage, the Catholics are solid conservatives. They've done a great job at defending traditional family values.
Maybe "those types of economic initiatives" could be tax deductions for being married and having children. I like that idea, and not just because I'm married and have a child.
I've never believed that free-market capitalism is the best financial system for all of eternity. The love of money is the root of all evil. I really like the United Order that was once practiced by the LDS Church, aka the law of consecration. But in our current circumstances, in our fallen world, free-market capitalism has done pretty well, and I think we ought to stick with it.
