Politopics

Topic #1. The political scene is certainly heating up lately. McCain stole some of Obama's thunder by revealing his VP pick today right after Obama's pretentious speech last night. I will admit, Barack Obama is a very good speaker. My favorite part of the speech, well, it's so hard to choose just one...I guess one of my favorite parts was when he said something like, "this has never been about me, this is about you." Really? Is that why you're giving this speech in front of 80,000 people, at a venue with Bon Jovi, Sheryll Crowe, and James Taylor, and then saying "...with great humility I accept your nomination"?

hu-mil-i-ty: noun: the quality or state of being humble.
hum-ble: adj. : 1. not proud or haughty : not arrogant or assertive

Topic #1.5. I never realized how much power George Bush really has until all of the things the democrats blamed on him over the past few days. College tuition is too expensive because of him. So is gas. The economy is completely in shambles apparently because of him. And since our economy is in the tank the world economy is in the tank, so that means George Bush is responsible for the world's economic woes. The housing and credit crisis is his fault. The food shortages in 3rd world countries are his fault. Women don't have equal rights anymore...(have we gone back in time?) The Soviets invading Georgia are his fault (did you hear them say that? They did! Unbelievable.) Iran's nuke issue is his fault. Global warming is his fault. WOW! George Bush is one powerful dude to have this much control over everything!!!

Next topic. Have any of you seen MSNBC and their coverage of the democratic convention? If you don't have a life and have a strong stomach check out the first minute or two of this video. Keith Olbermann is the biggest poser of all time. He should shut his pie hole and go home to his Obama body pillow. Aren't "journalists" supposed to remain relatively unbiased? Chris Matthews isn't quite as far gone as K O, but these guys are a joke. Watch what they do to the Republicans next week...I guarantee there won't be a love-fest like this...


Topic #3. I'm a conservative. I'm a fan of Glenn Beck. Whether or not you are either of those you should really read this article...do it, you'll thank me.

Topic #4. I've already heard people object to Vice Presidential nominee Palin who say, "Oh dear, I'm just worried who will take care of that baby. And did you know the baby has Down syndrome?" You know who's going to take care of that baby? Mom and Dad. Mom didn't abort the little guy so she's sure as heck not going to "abandon" him now. ALSO...why do people automatically discount the fact that there is a father in the picture. I am a stay-at-home-dad of a daughter who has Down syndrome. Believe it or not, dads can provide just as good care for babies as momma can.

Topic #5. Have a great weekend!
