Why The Debate Needs To Go On...

Barbara Boxer (D-California) gives a great explanation of why McCain saying he is not doing the debate is a sign of weakness.



McCain has changed his mind and will be at the debate tonight.

Sarah Palin - A Bad Disney Movie...

From Towleroad:

Earlier this month, Matt Damon said he feared that Sarah Palin might become president:

"I think there's a really good chance that Sarah Palin could be President, and I think that's a really scary thing...cause I don't know anything about her. It's like a really bad Disney movie, 'The Hockey Mom.' Oh, I'm just a hockey mom from Alaska, and she's president. She's facing down Vladimir Putin and using the folksy stuff she learned at the hockey rink. It's absurd."

College humor decided to make that really bad Disney movie a reality.

Apple Picking...

This last Saturday was one of the best days that we have had in a long time. Mark, Mikayla, and I decided that we needed some time away from our "normal" life (read: school, canning, garden), so we took up an offer from our neighbors to go apple picking. The place we went was called Douglas Orchards and is located in Shoreham, Vermont. Our neighbors have been going here for years and they love it.

The drive took about an hour and a half and was very pleasant. I got to talk with Nancy, which I don't get to do often. Jon and Nancy's son, Gabe, is four now and we talked about the different stages that the kids were going through. Mikayla is in one right now that I will touch on in another post. The only distress that I had was riding in the back of the van. I was reading a book to Gabe (which is not smart for me) and then we started to go around many curves (again not good). I started to get real nauseated and my head started to spin. I held it together and we arrived at the orchard.

The day was beautiful and the place was amazing. The trees were all full with perfect apples. I was in awe. As you can see from the pictures below, you couldn't find a tree that was not full of apples. At the end of the picture I included a video of the day as well.

McCain Plays Dumb - Once Again...

While Wall Street is crashing, McCain tries to support his "Fat Cat" Carley Fiorina and her "Golden Parachute" from Hewlett Packard. She was FIRED in 2005 and still walked away with $40 million. This is the type of person that McCain says caused the Wall Street bust. Oh and many other employees of HP were fired and got nothing. Listen to McCain try to explain why she is different. What an ASS!

Photo-Op...

Following Bush's address last night, congressman Barney Franks told reporters: "I’m glad the president said what he said. It’s not that making the speech was going to help, but failure to make a speech was probably hurting. In America, if you don’t hear from the president, it’s not a crisis."

He then laid into the White House 'photo-op':

"All of a sudden, now that we’re on the verge of making a deal, John McCain drops himself in to make a deal. I really worry about this politicization of it. Frankly, we’re going to have to interrupt a negotiating session tomorrow between the Democrats and Republicans on a bill, where I think we’re getting pretty close, and troop down to the White House for their photo-op, and then come back and get on to it. We’re trying to rescue the economy, not the McCain campaign."

What...

While looking for something on the Internet I came across a couple of articles titled "Ten Reasons Not To Hit Your Kids". There are only 10? The way I read this is here are the ten reasons not to hit your kids and later we will talk about the reasons why you should hit your kids. This is just ridiculous. And truthfully, would anyone that is hitting their kids really look for a sight to explain why hey should not hit them?

Just a comment!

Letterman Slams McCain For Suspending His Campaign...

Dave said what the rest of the country is thinking, "What are you going to do if you're elected and things get tough? Suspend being president? We've got a guy like that now!"

From Huffington Post:

"In the middle of the taping Dave got word that McCain was, in fact just down the street being interviewed by Katie Couric. Dave even cut over to the live video of the interview, and said, "Hey Senator, can I give you a ride home?"

Earlier in the show, Dave kept saying, "You don't suspend your campaign. This doesn't smell right. This isn't the way a tested hero behaves." And he joked: "I think someone's putting something in his metamucil."

"He can't run the campaign because the economy is cratering? Fine, put in your second string quarterback, Sarah Palin. Where is she?"

"What are you going to do if you're elected and things get tough? Suspend being president? We've got a guy like that now!"

Update - Here is the video. Dave is Great and again says what the rest of the country is thinking. Gets good around the 2:30 mark.



Obama says that the debates are still on, as they should be. From Huffington Post;

Obama: The Debate Is Still On... This Is Exactly The Time When The American People Need To Hear From Their Leaders... Presidents Are Going To Have To Deal With More Than One Thing At A Time

No On Prop 8...

Here is a PSA for No On Prop 8. The nice thing about this ad is that there are kids (in their teens and 20's) that talk about having gay parents. The interesting part is that these kids turned out just llike every other kid in America. They all have different quarks, but the one thing they had in common is parents who loved them.
