And, in case you don’t remember the original…

 

I LOVED this commercial because my fellas and I actually communicate like this.

The Arizona Republic has endorsed Sen. John McCain for president.  No surprise there considering that Senator McCain is the biggest political thing out of Arizona since his predecessor, Barry Goldwater (whose grandkids endorsed Sen. Barack Obama for president — see below)

But wait, there’s more. The biggest paper in Alaska, Governor Sarah Palin’s domain, supports…Senator Barack Obama. Here is the most telling statement:

Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee, brings far more promise to the office. In a time of grave economic crisis, he displays thoughtful analysis, enlists wise counsel and operates with a cool, steady hand. The same cannot be said of Sen. McCain.

I bet you (and maybe Governor Palin) are thinking “where’s the love from my fellow Alaskans? I get more love from Joe the plumber!”. The Daily News countered with this:

Yet despite her formidable gifts, few who have worked closely with the governor would argue she is truly ready to assume command of the most important, powerful nation on earth.

So this is what you have to do to get anti-gay legislation passed.  Who knew?

I can’t even comment on how despicable this is.  It’s a whole new level.

So that’s what my son meant when he said “what’s that stench”. (Yes, my 5 year old has stench in his vocabulary.)

Here’s a comment that I left on a friend’s Facebook page.  This encapsulates what I feel about the economy right now:

“Well, we are only getting the short end of socialism. No universal healthcare, literacy or college education, noooo. We get to pay off the bad decisions of greedy execs. Government running things isn’t bad when there’s direct and total accountability. This is the opposite. They are using the government to cover up the financial shenanigans of some greedy companies.

What about bailing out working class folks? What about forgiving all student loans? What about bailing out people struggling to get out from under debt then making credit harder to get (except for student loans which should keep their low interest rates)? What about rolling back the changes made to bankruptcy?

Stuff like that is why I am voting for Sen. Obama. When McCain had his chance to rein the greedy in…he didn’t.”
