“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

It is good to have a son.

It is good to have a daughter, and I hope that our next one is a girl, but it is good to have a son.

Congratulations.

And welcome to the world Gunnar!

To me, “consensus” seems to be the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies. So it is something in which no one believes and to which no one objects … There are still people in my party who believe in “consensus” politics. I regard them as Quislings, as traitors … I mean it. — Margaret Thatcher

civil truth (Diary) Tuesday, December 9th at 4:44PM EST (link)

This is the time-honored way to increase the numbers of Republicans – and expand the ranks of the Church. And a statement of hope in a challenging era. Welcome to the world, Gunnar.

The greatest evil…is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed, and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the offices of a thoroughly nasty business concern. -C.S. Lewis

The politics stuff is fun, but this is what life is all about! (Of course, I’m sure you would agree that our children are a big part of WHY we care what happens in our government.)

Again, congrats and prayers.

My husband and I would like you to pick an organization so that we can make a $25.00 dollar donation in Gunnar’s name……he is so beautiful.

Pay attention people that handsome little baby is the future of the Republican Party!

 

Does he have a blog yet?

kowalski (Diary) Tuesday, December 9th at 6:10PM EST (link)

First of all, Congratulations and I’m envious. It’s wonderful to see just before the holidays. I know he’ll have a blog soon — or you will be writing one for him — detailing all of the cool things babies are doing these days in Republican and Conservative politics.

But before you introduce him to this rough, rough world, give him a lot of love and congratulate your wife. My best wishes to everyone.

This is to Gunnar:

Gunnar, I hope your father prints this out and shows it to you when you’re old enough to understand:

Take it from me, a man who should know, who is coming to you from the past with a lesson that people have been learning since the dawn of time:

At some point in your life you might think your old man is just full of it, and want to run off with a girl to some far-flung city and really show him how dumb all those things he taught you when you were a kid really are. Because you know better. Because he’s a crusty old curmudgeon who doesn’t understand the way things are today. Think again and, don’t do it. Your papa is a good man and he’s right. In the fullness of time you’ll come to understand that too, even if you think you know better now. Remember how good he’s been to you all these years and think twice about all the things some people are going to try to teach you in college. A lot of them are brilliant, and a lot of them mean well, but a lot of them are very, very wrong, too. Good luck and remember to respect your mother and father. They brought you into this world because they love you. And in the end, you can count the people who really care about you on the fingers of one hand. Always remember that.

As one with four children, and eight grandkids, all I can say is you can’t get enough. I also noted that he is all ready a Red Stater.

As part of my plan to return the Kidnapped lawn jockey to it’s rightful owners, I am soliciting a painter to return it to it’s original state with a mocha tan.

I’ve recently been spotted by the family I spirited the KLJ from and we are currently negotiating a contract to return it to it’s rightful home. Aside from multiple offers from producers and publishers I am unable to make any decisions until my negotiations with the family of the Kidnapped Lawn Jockey have been completed.

Sorry about the Mess….

After a brief respite, on Monday you can go make the first deposit to his college fund. Oh yeah, and Starbucks has a special on bags of espresso coffee.

“Both of our political parties, at least the honest portion of them, agree conscientiously in the same object—the public good; but they differ essentially in what they deem the means of promoting that good. One side believes it best done by one composition of the governing powers; the other, by a different one. One fears most the ignorance of the people; the other, the selfishness of rulers independent of them. Which is right, time and experience will prove.”.Thomas Jefferson

 

What a lovely little baby, Erick! If only Piper Palin were a few years younger....

janis (Diary) Wednesday, December 10th at 10:04AM EST (link)

What a political match THAT would be! Then again, older women and younger men has become fashionable in the past few years, so here’s hoping…..

Enjoy him while he’s still in the cuddly stage. What a wonderful Christmas present for you and Mrs. Erick. May you have much joy in him always.

Welcome to Georgia, Gunnar. Be happy, healthy, and soak up all the wisdom you can. Your sister will probably push you around a little, but she is going to be your best friend when you get older, so cut her some slack. You are beautiful.
