yeah, yeah, yeah

You may prefer to call Barack Obama "black" but I prefer to call him "white." Neither is accurate. But he is touted as being the first African American president...that would seem to say that he is of African descent and an American, but he is not only of African descent, he is half white as well. Last time I looked being white was not a flaw, or something to be kept in the closet. I am tired of all this nonsense. He should be welcomed as our new President, but no more or less than any other before him.

Follow the money

Obama and his money won. But where oh where did all that money come from? In September alone he raised over $150M - that's about $5M per day! Where did all that money come from? Single contributors? Let's see, at $2,500 per contributor that would be..let's see...carry the five...about 60,000 contributors, or 2,000 of them PER DAY contributing $2,500 each!



Open your books, Obama. Let's see where those big bucks came from. I'm willing to bet a lot of it came from sources in the Middle East. And with your "God DAMN America" church ties and affiliation with at least one known terrorist, I think your books would make for some interesting, if not scary, and perhaps even incriminating, reading.



Come on, Barack.

You can quote

Presidential Campaign Slogan: "I've upped my standards. Now, up yours."


-Pat Paulsen


You listening, Barack?

Don't Take Debate

I watched the Palin / Biden debate last night. The newcomer versus the old pro. It was unremarkable.







The crux of the biscuit is that hiring Obama to head up the US military (one of the bigger obligations of holding the office, and perhaps THE biggest responsibility in the world) - well, you might as well just grab someone off the street - chances are the person you choose will have as much insight into military leadership as does Barack Obama.





Face it, people. If you hire Obama, you just may be politically...retarded.

After the conventions

Getting right to the point, the only CHANGE Barack Obama will leave you with is nickels and dimes. Pennies. Yup, you won't have any DOLLARS left from your paycheck once he starts funding all his hare-brained schemes. Funny how more and more Mr. Obama is looking and sounding like the entrenched Washington bureaucrat, while McCain exhudes that feeling of exhiliaration, of anticipation that good things COULD (and probably WILL) happen on his watch. Mr. Obama has criticized McCain for first saying Obama is inexperienced, then choosing Palin for his running mate. She's the governor of the largest state in the Union! What does he have in his column? Community organizer?

Americans voted to give Bill Clinton four more years as President, even after discovering the truth about Monica Lewinsky. That affair cheapened and tainted the office of the President of the United States, but not as much as Obama would. Let's not make the same mistake twice.

Never in a million microseconds

Hey, I configured this thing to post my blog through the Atomizer thing. Where do we go from here?

Chicken or Egg

The League of American Wheelmen was founded in 1880 by bicycle enthusiasts. In an effort to improve riding conditions so they might better enjoy their newly discovered sport, more than 100,000 cyclists from across the United States joined the League to advocate for paved roads. The success of the League in its first advocacy efforts ultimately led to our national highway system.



Times have changed. Automobiles became and still are the reason for the immense growth of our highly sophisticated system of roads. Those still riding bicycles on our crowded city streets are taking their lives into their own hands. I can tolerate bicycle lanes. But on roads with no shoulders, many with only one lane in either direction, these bicycle enthusiasts have no right to impede traffic and cause harmful if not fatal traffic accidents. They pay little, if any, user fees to help local governments pay for the special treatment they receive. They are selfish. If they want to jeopardize their own lives, that is one thing. It is quite another to do so in a way that jeopardizes many others around them.



So what came first - the chicken or the egg? Was man built for the earth, or was the earth built for man? Because paved roads may have come into existence due to bicycle riders, does this mean that those who drive cars (and pay dearly for doing so) should be put into harm's way to accommodate the bicyclists' blatant disregard for human life? I don't feel it is right to possibly need to decide, while driving my car, between running into a bicyclist or into an oncoming motorized vehicle.
