A Busy Day in Politics

First, a bit of humor. And Bill Maher has a movie!!!

Now for some good news. Obama appears to be gaining in some of the so-called "battleground states." This is good news. It shows that some people are actually paying attention now. It is sad that it takes people losing their money and their jobs and their homes to realize what damage the Repubs have done the past 8 years. They couldn't see the problems until they hit close to home. While it was somewhere else, another country, another city, another state, just the very very poor, they couldn't see it, but I think now they are starting to realize. A key sign is the gain Obama has had in Virginia. I am so glad to see that there are people not falling for the train wreck that is the McCain/Palin ticket.

I am very amused by the Palin interviews. It is painfully clear why McCain and his advisers have tried hard to keep her from speaking. Understand that I do NOT say this because she a woman. I believe there are many intelligent, competent women in this country and around the world, but Palin is not one of them! I think this is where putting any woman McCain and his campaign could find on his ticket to try to appeal to Hillary supporters is backfiring, big time.

And the bad news. People like this guy are out there in the world. Not only can this guy not spell, but he has no idea what he is talking about and he is a bigot. Sure, I support the guy's right to have the sign in his yard and to have whatever opinion he wants to have, but I also support my right to recognize him as an idiot. This guy seriously takes home the Moron of the Week award, possibly Moron of the year. Not only is he wrong, but he's willing to allow it to be spotlighted to the entire world all over the news and the internet that he is a moron.
