The nice thing about the anominimity of blogs is you can put pictures of old girlfriends and not tag them with names and they will always be there. She was my first real love and I did get over her, but boy could she skate.Monday, April 20, 2009

The Merry-Go-Round
Here we go again. Our country's economy stinks like the hole cover on grampa's outhouse and our elected officials would rather point fingers than work for answers. Obama says it's Bush's policies and McCain says it's the overregulation by the Democrats. Our politicians are more worried about publicizing failures of their opposition than they are about fixing our country.
I plan to live for a long time. When I die at the ripe old age of 96 I want to be shot by a jealous husband. That's over 40 more years and 10 more presidential elections and in that time I don't believe I will ever see our countries leaders care about their constituants more than their urgency for re-election.
I hate political blogs that don't say anything, but nobody reads this so who cares.

A Little NASCAR
ESPN came up with a pretty good article about Chaseology and how if today's Chase were started when the modern era of NASCAR started and you applied toay's 12 man Chase scoring how it affect the past championships. It's actually good, but for a guy like me that has no life, I can take it one step further. The only good news is Richard Petty would have won his 7 championships. Here's my results of ESPN's Chaseology.
| Driver | ESPN Chase | Actual |
| Alan Kulwicki | 0 | 1 |
| Bobby Allison | 0 | 1 |
| Matt Kenseth | 0 | 1 |
| Terry Labonte | 0 | 2 |
| Bill Elliott | 1 | 1 |
| Dale Jarrett | 1 | 1 |
| Kyle Petty | 1 | 0 |
| Sterling Marlin | 1 | 0 |
| Tony Stewart | 1 | 2 |
| Richard Petty | 2 | 2 |
| Bobby Labonte | 2 | 1 |
| Harry Gant | 2 | 0 |
| Jeff Gordon | 2 | 4 |
| Kurt Bush | 2 | 1 |
| Rusty Wallace | 2 | 1 |
| Jimmie Johnson | 3 | 2 |

Ten Questions and Then Some
1. If you’re black and vote for Obama, are you a racist?
2. If you’re white and do not vote for Obama, are you a racist?
3. If you're male and do not vote for Palin are you a sexist?
4. Will Palin get the female vote?
5. Will Palin get the blue collar vote?
6. Will Palin get the Hillary vote?
7. Is it an Obama/Palin race?
8. Is it “Change We Believe” or is it “Change We Need”?
9. Is it a completely different race now that Palin had entered?
10. Where are the questions about McCain?
After watching some pundits on Sunday Morning it seemed ABC questioned over 80% of the time about McCain/Palin. While they didn’t really praise Obama outright, they did get tough on the Republicans and blew over Obama. To hear these professionals mouthpieces, Obama is all honor, no negativity and on the up and up. McCain is all politics, no honor and the only good thing he did was ask Palin to be his running mate to take his name out of the spotlight.
What I don’t understand is every argument made against McCain can be made against Obama. Sure you can change name McCain to Obama without a stretch and reach the same results. Obama has not run a saintly campaign either. How can one campaign run negative ads and still have what is called an honorable campaign and the other side does the same and has a political campaign? Fox has the slogan “Fair and Balanced” but when they are fair they are straining to be balanced. It is not “Fair and Balanced” when it is not fair for a balanced amount of time.
I would like to hear the issues, not somebody with a microphone surgically implanted in their molars give their interpretation of how a candidate’s stance will affect the reporter’s agenda. When will a news network (or at least reporters) replace agendas with credibility and accountability? News networks have gone from reporting the election to editorializing the election.
Expect next week for all candidates to be where Ike did damage. Expect to hear the Republicans talk about how our tax dollars are working, or the Democrats talk about who the Republicans are failing or how the only reason it is working is because the Democrats forced the Republicans to make it work. Billions of dollars are going to be promised to Texas. Can’t this be handled like the flooding In the Midwest? No it can’t. The people of the Midwest don’t expect it and the poorer people of Texas will push this to be their major election issue.

It's Getting Stupid Now
.
Stupidity has taken over the internet. More people are giving their idiotic viewpoints on Palin and Obama or what we call the presidential election than ever in our history. This election will be won on peoples viewpoint on religion, gender and race. Or will it be their disdain for these?
I usually enjoy Bill Maher but his ultra liberal and his contempt for any religion is unbearable. Huffington Post and Daily Kos hatred of conservatives rival Mahers, but are a close 2nd. The same can be said about the conservative sites like Little Green Footballs and others over the same dribble but with liberal targets.
The 2004 election was the most tainted in the US history. I think we have not had an election were the issues have been real since the 1992 election between Bush and Clinton. The 96 election did not have to have issues. The Republican party never gave the Democrats a race, never gave Clinton an opponent. 2000 election was before the internet caught on. The Democrats and the Rupublican neither put a canidate that was strong. The Democrats lost it because the Clinton, the President people are taughting as the best President in the history of the great United States was so weak that nobody would associate with him.
When we look back at the 04 election, we will compare it to a training course for pre-schoolers. The 2008 pundints are taking what they learned in 04 and being fruitful and multiplying. I get e-mail about Obama that is so filled with lies you expect Barrack to go down on one knee and start singing 'Mammy'. Before long I'm sure I will be getting e-mails about how he is full of syphulus and will be the downfall of our way of life. I'm sure the same is going on about Palin. She's a woman and that she's the answer to Hillary. Just click on any of the links above. It's sickening.
The only new site I can read is Drudge. Yes it has a conservative slant but it's just news links. You can read anything on this site and anything between the lines.
Ask yourself one thing. Since the constitution does not guarantee the right that everybody is equal, just that everybody has the equal rights, who will interpret that the best?
I just hope that I have a life in 2012 and can escape from all this.

Politics As Normal
So Jimmy Carter says McCain is milking his POW experience. This is not going to be pro-McCain, nor is it against Obama. This is about Carter and his legacy.
Carter was the first person I ever voted for as president. The first presidential election that I reached of age. I was told by a friend that if I were a christian I would have to vote for Carter. I voted for Carter, partly for that and partly against Ford and what he represented. What Ford represented in my eyes then has changed in my eyes now. All the anti-Vietnam protests were aimed at Nixon and his administration. How could Ford, who was part of the Nixon/Agnew/Ford machine, not be part of the problem with all the corruption? Plus Ford was never elected. Enough on that. Whomever was in the White House at that had to be part of the problem. Not the solution.
What was Jimmy's legacy?
The legacy that we now choose as his is an ex-President that is involved in Habitats for Humanity but he is trying hard to embrace another, the open arm acceptance of terrorist like Chavez or the Palestinian cause. Jimmy's legacy is "I NEVER MET A TERRORIST I DIDN'T LIKE!'
I'm not a writer, so I don't know how to close this without getting personal, but this man's hatred of a party will stop at no bounds, including the support of terrorist, to make his point.
As for the election, I'm voting for Palin cause she's a babe.

What was Jimmy's legacy?
- The gas/oil shortage in 1977
- He gave back the Panama Canal
- The Iranian Hostage crisis (which came to an end as soon as a real President came into office)
- The failed hostage rescue
- The 1980 Summer Olympic Boycott
- Billy Carter
