Please Count My Vote...

I was watching Anderson Cooper 360 tonight on CNN (my first mistake) and heard more than one story about how African Americans fear that their votes will not be counted. 

Even the almighty Oprah talked about how she almost didn't vote for President due to her electronic voting machine not counting it. She went back through the ballot because she had "a bad feeling" and noticed that she had indeed not pressed the correct button.

Over the past few weeks I have heard and read stories about how if Obama does not win, there will be riots in the street. These stories come off as threats - just like Biden's threat that Obama's mettle will be tested in the first six months of his Presidency. 

So basically if you are afraid of being a racist, you had better vote for Obama.

I cannot even begin to fathom what Black's in this country have gone through. The things that have happened in our country when it comes to race are despicable. There is no denying that we have a long way to go, but may I suggest something? Maybe this whole race thing is a two way street...

There are things to be worked on and fences to be mended on both sides of this issue. We all have work to do. We all need to see one another they way God sees us. We need to love one another... we need to love our enemies as well.

When I turned in my ballot early here in Ohio, there was definitely a part of me that had some fear as well. Will they count my vote? How many votes will be thrown out for some reason? How many fraudulent votes will be counted because of ACORN?

My point in all of this is, whether you are black, white, brown, purple or green, no one seems to trust this government anymore. Maybe we're all getting screwed...

The only "hope" we have and the only "change we can believe in" is that of our God. Barack will not bring about change that matters. John McCain will not give us hope. Only the hope we find in Jesus Christ and the change that our Father brings matters.

A wise man once said, "Everything is meaningless, a chasing after the wind." Eventually he found his hope and change... hopefully we will too.

No One is to Blame... Really?

I just have to ask... does anyone care?

Watch this video to see what these crooks have done to our country... ask yourself, "What Will Obama (especially with the financial wisdom of Frank Raines by his side) Do?"





Wake up America!

When Late Night Attacks...

No wonder McCain blew him off...

After watching David Letterman this evening, it was perfectly clear to me that Dave thinks he is some kind of investigative journalist.

During the first few minutes of the interview (if

 you can call it that), they joked back and forth about Senator McCain ditching Dave a few weeks ago. Dave has been relentless about McCain not showing up and has been cracking on the Senator ever since.

Once most of the pleasantries were over, Dave began questioning John about Sarah Palin. He just hammered and hammered John about whether or not she was ready if she had to take over as President. Of course, Senator McCain backed his VP, but Dave continued. Finally at one point, John pointed out that there was this little known Governor from a relatively small state, Arkansas, that turned out to be a pretty good President (some might disagree)... Bill Clinton.

In the midst of all this, Dave said he would love to have Sarah Palin on the program... yeah, let's get that set up for you right away Dave. I'm sure you'll give her nothing but the respect she deserves...

Dave wasn't finished yet. His next "To Catch a Predator" moment was bringing up how insignificant it was that Obama knew William Ayers. Dave said that Obama's relationship with Ayers was nothing more than McCain's relationship with G. Gordon Liddy. The only problem with that comparison is Liddy burglarized the Democratic Party (Watergate) and Bill Ayers bombed the Pentagon (and other places).

I had a feeling that Dave didn't treat Senator Obama the same way. After doing a little YouTube-ing and seeing Barack on Letterman (multiple times), there is no question that Dave served the Senator a bunch of softballs for him to knock out of the park. Not one single confrontational question for the Senator with a whole 3 years of experience in the Senate.

I've been holding back from saying this - I hope I'm wrong - but the Media and the fringe in this country may get exactly what they have always wanted if Obama wins. Utopia... a country where the government helps us "spread the wealth."

It's called socialism... enjoy.

Calling All Cars...

While driving through town today, one of my favorite pet peeves was in full effect... 

Drivers on cell phones.

I was headed off to run a few errands and all along the way, people talking on their cells. Driving badly and yapping away. I decided to count how many people out of ten drivers were on their cell phones.

The number was not as staggering as I thought... 4 out of 10. I noticed something that made me decide to retry my little experiment. How may women driving were on their cell phones?

I hate to blow everyone's mind with my results (sarcasm implied)... there were 8 women out of ten on their cells.

 Two of those women were texting or at least dialing (one while turning left in front of oncoming traffic). 

No need to think ill of me for pointing out the women cell talkers, men are just as bad.

Why are so many people on their phones while driving? What is so friggin' important that you have a phone glued to your head while you're driving? 

Don't worry, it's not heavy machinery that you are operating... I'm sure no one has ever crashed their car while talking on the phone. You go right ahead and continue that important call.

There is actually an old episode of Mythbusters that ended up - through many tests - showing that driving while talking on a cell is worse than driving drunk (legally drunk).

The thing that really blows my mind are the number of people on the phone while driving to work in the morning. Who are you talking to? What could you possibly need to be talking about at 7:30 in the morning?

I wonder when someone will create a laptop computer that will fit nicely in your car... oh, wait, I have one of those, it's called an iPhone. 

Maybe Blogging while driving will be the next big thing.

Hockey Night in Canada

Hockey Night in Canada was an amazing memory from my childhood. I can remember sitting in the living room with Dad and watching the Red Wings or the Maple Leafs on Saturday Night.

To this day, the song that plays as Hockey Night in Canada begins gets me excited to watch the game. Hockey Night in Canada was kind of like Monday Night Football in America. The games were always exciting to watch. People played with a little more passion, skated faster, checked harder and celebrated with more gusto on Hockey Night in Canada.

After many years, Hockey Night in Canada has a new theme song. When I first heard this, I was a little skeptical. The composer of the original song was holding CBC television hostage to continue using the original song, so they decided to ask Canadians to give it a shot... here is the song that won the contest (Matthew & I especially enjoyed the bagpipes).

I Just Had to Do It...

By no means am I endorsing a candidate...

This message paid for by no one... I saw it on Glen Beck's website.

Boy are we screwed.
