Should Have Had Today Off

What a historic day, I’m fortunate enough to get to work form home this morning, then head into the office this afternoon.    I have friends at work who took the day off in order to be home to watch the inauguration ceremonies.   I’ve got the Today Show running in the background, and what an amazing [...]

Pray for Our President Elect

Several members of my family are fans of forwarding emails.   Some of them are particularly fond of forwarding negative emails, the kind that tell us that Barack Obama is the antichrist or can be compared to Fidel Castro.   I have to admit, it was tempting to respond to the antichrist one pointing out that if [...]

Barack Obama Rally in Cleveland

I am admittedly a bit bummed I won’t be able to go to this as I am the type of person who is fascinated by political rallies.  Also, I don’t understand why the ones in Cleveland seem to always include Bruce Springsteen.  Anyhow, I already have plans with my son that day.  In a way I [...]

Spooked…by McCain TV Ads

So, a coworker was telling me about a McCain ad against Obama that has ocean waves, then ends with a small pic of the Titanic coming in from the corner, that you don’t notice unless someone points it out to you.   We found this subliminal kind of message interesting.  I decided to google it to [...]

Sarah Palin’s Interview with Katie Couric

If it hasn’t already been made clear, I really don’t like that this woman is a VP nominee.    Seems like my initial impressions may have been right, check out Sarah Palin’s interview with Katie Couric.    Highlights include:
Couric: You’ve said, quote, “John McCain will reform the way Wall Street does business.” Other than supporting stricter regulations of Fannie [...]

Obama and McCain Continued

I am the person in our house who is obsessed with politics, at least by comparison to the hubby.  By this all I mean is that I will watch the debates when they happen, tried to read through some of the candidates’ voting records and watch some other significant appearances like the Saddleback Civil Forum and [...]

More on Obama and McCain

I have been dying to read the transcripts from the Saddleback Civil Forum at Rick Warren’s church on August 16.   We were pretty busy that particular weekend, and I just haven’t had time to read the transcripts yet.   It’s really too bad the forum was on cable TV, because I think that forum was just as important [...]
