Olbermann SUCKS part 2
It should come as no surprise that I am no fan of Keith Olbermann and I was channel surfing and came across his tabloid like program. Once again his bashing of McCain and his vote fraud scandal. One man was arrested for voter fraud and it should be headline news, but when you have the ACORN story of their consistent vote fraud scandals (back dating to before 2004) it should not even be mentioned. Olbermann continues by saying that ACORN followed the law by turning in such obvious illegal registration cards. The case should be made that several of the registration cards magically slipped through the crack and ended up on the registration rolls in a few states. Why would ACORN be under investigation for vote fraud if they were simply following the law. They wouldn't and Olbermann knows that. This is just another futile attempt for him to be a real journalist rather than commentator. Unlike other real news programs that have real journalists, Olbermann fails to ever have anyone, other those who are in lockstep with Obama and the liberal freak show candidates, as a guest on the show and debate real topics. Instead of thinking and being to defend ideas, he just gets another liberal fool to spout off at the mouth. If Rachel Madcow didn't already have her own show, Countdown should have used her as a co-host to the socialist broadcast. We can only hope that Countdown will be cancelled due to Olbermann really jeopardizing his career by his own words. So Olbermann, goodnight, and I can only pray for your quick demise from TV.

ACORN And Obama, The Vote Getters
Well, well, well what have we here, ACORN and possible voter registration fraud in Missouri. Color me surprised, or rather should I say 'Its about time somebody looked into this phony group'. ACORN is the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, a group who is heavily backing Obama. Recent events in several parts of the country including the home state of Ms. McCatskill (D)- Missouri (who has been such a vocal advocate of Obama.s that I think she is hoping for a Cabinet position), have indicated that agents of ACORN have been registering people up to as many as 72 times per voter. Does this not scream of fraudulent intentions? It is not been a secret that the leaders of ACORN have had strong ties to the democrat party as well Obama. In the beginning the organization may have truly wanted to reform, but all too common now is the theme of reform and it seems that ACORN and it minion of workers have taken it upon themselves to voice reform no matter the cost. Since 2004 ACORN employees have been the heart of investigation involving voter registration fraud. In 2006 over 1400 fraudulent voter registrations were identified. The same occurrence in Michigan, Ohio and Missouri.
The history of ACORN was essentially to reinforce the welfare system by ensuring that those in need had the basics in order to survive. In recent years they have had a stronger voice when the topic of affordable housing. (See the segue into Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) Now that brings us back to the most recent economic disaster, the multi billion prostituting of the American taxpayer. ACORN wasn't the reason for the problem, they just happened to contribute vocally in support of the deregulation in 1999. They felt that the housing markets were becoming increasing unfair to those who can't afford a home. I always thought if you can't afford something then you won't be buying, but somewhere in the infinite wisdom of ACORN leaders, the issue was nothing more than another topic of race. Enter Obama. ACORN is now working in overdrive to ensure that the multitudes of voters vote Hussein Obama. The American public needs to realize that the length to get a politician in office can be a direct reflection of an organizations ethics, integrity and policies. Obama needs to distance himself from the illegal vote registering machine of ACORN and tell the American people that their actions only hurt the cause. The Republicans need to seize this opportunity and call Obama out on the issue and see if his actions represent what is best for America.

The Obama Kool-Aid
It is no secret that Obama is the media favorite, not just to win the presidency, but to save a ravaged US government from certain peril. All this fawning for the Obamessiah is getting to be a bitter pill to swallow. He does have rabid fans who don't necessarily care about his plan details, but rather the fact that he is promising the world. I seem to get this cult like following aspect to Obama and his supporters. More precisely, the Jim Jones type of following. Obama's supporters are not just simply passionate fools who will argue points, but they give him holy reverence and in many occasions compare him to God and Jesus. There is no doubt that Obama is charismatic and has a broad base appeal. For the most part, I really believe that if I met Obama, I would like him personally. I wouldn't be so star struck as to lose my convictions and just follow the piper. Obama does have a very unique story and his experiences would be great, as a role model, to many of the youth today. The only issue is that other than I practically disagree with him on everything. The danger that lies beneath the surface for the Republicans is how much of what Obama is saying is being absorbed by his faithful following and those 'undecided'. Having blind faith in man is not the way a person of intellect should react. Use your mind to search for the beliefs that you support and can espouse without hesitation, know what you believe and believe what you know. I just hope that Obama doesn't bring the 'special' kool-aid for his legions of fans to end it all and maybe hook up with the heavens gate crowd on some spaceship.

Palin Knows Facts, Detractors Are Still Lost to What The Facts Are
Just as I called it earlier, the liberal media icons and current political Obama supporters cannot admit that Governor Palin has what it takes to be taken serious. Moments ago, Rep. Wasserman-Schultz D-FL, was on Fox News and couldn't stop praising the actions of Joe Biden. Why is it when a liberal is asked about taxes the only comment they drive home is the rich get the benefit of tax cuts. I find it so interesting that Governor Palin is ridiculed for her lack of experience and political knowledge by the powers that be, and a current seated Representative in Congress is not educated in the tax percentages that pay the bills. The top 20 percent wages earners pay over 80 percent of the bill. Where is the outrage that the progressives seem to have cart blance on? Why is it that liberals fail to mention those facts and rely upon the evil rich republican machine scare tactic? Lack of experience and knowledge and leadership. Hence, look at the current leadership under the democrat controlled house and senate. They manipulate the facts to garner the support needed to keep them in power no matter the true nature of the issue.
Pretty Palin vs Smokin Joe
Tonight we have the chance to see Sarah Palin go to to toe with Joe Biden. My only issue with this evenings activities with be the moderator. Gwen Ifill the senior correspondent with the PBS News Hour is currently in the process of writing a book about Obama and the age of politics. The book is allegedly a favorable take on Obama and his sudden rise to political prominence. Ms. Ifill has in the past been a very 'in the middle' road journalist however recently she has demonstrated favorable support for Obama. The media has already declared Joe Biden, the rough and tough boxer turned lawyer/senator from the northeast, as the evening's presumptive winner. It is no surprise that papers like the NY Times have declared victory. The only comment about the Alaskan Governor is that she lacks experience. There is much more to Sarah Palin than a pretty face, let's face it she's hot. Now all those detractors will come out of their shells and say that was completely sexist. Remember how we had to endure the comments by female voters on how attractive Edwards and Clinton were? To top it off you had the picture of Al Gore on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine with the emphasis on his crotch during the 2000 campaign. I guess that is OK, but for there to be an extremely good looking female VP candidate and comments regarding such is a complete travesty, if you are a liberal. The billing for the VP debate should be Pretty Palin versus Smokin Joe and it should be held at Caesar's Palace.

Has It Really Been 20 Years?
(Orginally Posted in August)
It has been 20 years since I had the privilege to exit the high school graduation stage and enter upon another journey that would take me to some very unique and interesting places. I have had the fortune to live overseas in some great places, Bahrain, The U.K., Greece, Italy and I enjoyed them all to varying degrees of interest. I have seen the Pyramids at Giza, Safaried through the Suez Canal, walked through the gates of the Parthenon, stood in awe at the Temple of Knossos, respected the Roman Colosseum, spit on the Eiffel Tower (I don't care much for the French) and reverently walked the path to Golgotha. Not too bad to see that all before the age of 25. I can't much complain about my life other than it seems to be going by way too fast. I figured that life after high school there would be college, but my grades didn't afford me scholarships. So other than work in jobs that I just wasn't suited for, I joined the Navy and saw the world. I lived and saw a lifetimes worth of, well living I suppose, during my 6 years of active duty service. Now I look back in somewhat of a nostalgic fascination and wonder about the rest of my graduating class from 20 years ago. Recently I took the leap into the digital realm to search for some of those people in hopes to see what they have been into since our glory days. I actually have only spoken to 1 from back in the day and he was able to fill me in about alot. Many are still living in the same local area, an then there are a few, like myself, who have moved away from the place I called home. Hopefully I will be able to reconnect with some more and find out all about their life the last 20 years. Thinking back, I was voted most 'Versatile' and I always thought that was such a lame title, but looking back and recalling the events that have shaped my life, it really isn't such a bad title after all. It is much better than having the most likely to succeed title and not being able to live up to that expectation.

Rachel Sucks As Much As Keith
Move over Keith Olbermann, here's Rachel Maddow, otherwise known as the female version of Keith. Actually she could also be called the younger Keith seeing that she comes across as manly as Keith does. I have given Olbermann his fair share of criticism but now I have found that I dislike Rachel Madcow just as much. Both of these commentators can't seem to talk with the other side. Each have adopted the program profile of having only guests who agree with their agenda as to not have to have true intellectual discussion and debate. It must be easier to trade jabs about the conservatives and sound very knowledgeable when you don't have to worry about a counter attack in the next breath.
