Saturday Morning Randomness
Well, at least the temperature over the next few days will be consistent. I was looking at my Google home page and saw that for the next four days, it will be 108/84. That seems odd for four days in a row.
I have noted (and I am real ticked off about it) that Firefox 3 stops ’spell checking’ after the title of the blog is entered in the WYSIWYG of Wordpress. That irritates me because spelling isn’t exactly my strong suit and I need all the help I can get without introducing Microsoft Evil Characters by typing in Word and bringing it over. Thankfully, I haven’t downloaded FF3 on this PC - it’s only on my laptop.
I wanted to sleep till Noon today, but the phone rang at 6:15. It’s always so much fun when you have friends/relatives that live in different timezones and they can never figure out/calculate the time difference so that they don’t call you at midnight/four AM.
On the list of things I posted about last night that I needed to do this weekend, two of them are done. The kitchen is clean and laundry is in process. I think I’ll take a nap in a bit and do the other couple of things this afternoon.
In regards to politics - I haven’t really been giving it a lot of attention, because I figure whoever the candidates want to be their veepee will be chosen and there isn’t much/anything I can do about that. I also don’t vote along party lines, but rather, research the issues important to me and vote for the candidate who has similar opinions regarding said issues.
I voted for Ross Perot when he ran, then stopped, then ran, then stopped, then ran…I’m ashamed to admit that.
I admit to being bothered by McCain’s lack of knowledge regarding his assets, his blatant disregard for truth regarding matters that he’s flaunted (and lied about) to the media (namely, that ‘unspoken topic’) and his age. For those reasons alone, McCain isn’t on my short list. It makes things much easier…I don’t need to research him to find out his stance on certain matters…besides, based on what I know already, it may or may not be true.
I admit to being uneasy about Obama’s lack of experience. I lived in the Chicagoland area when he was running for his current office. There was lots of talk then about him being fast tracked for the presidency and how he was a super star etc. To be honest, I wasn’t that impressed with a number of decisions he made with regards to children’s issues and education while I lived there. Namely, foster kids.
I don’t know. This is going to be a hard election. It just doesn’t seem like either one really belongs in the White House - of course, that’s just my opinion. I’d much rather see someone who is in their ‘prime’ and has a bit more experience, just not quite as much experience as McCain has - but it is what it is.
(That was WAY longer than I intended!)
All political discussion aside, I think this year will prove to be very interesting. I know I have some pretty interesting plans for the future 
The similarities are shocking, are they not?
Seriously, I try not to get involved in politics - I mean, I’m not one to say “Go Democrat!” or “Go Republican” or whatever. I have my own personal convictions and it’s not *my* job to sway someone one way or another…that’s up to the politicians, and I am not one.
However, I could not let this opportunity pass. It was just to good.
Separated at birth? Son and Mother? Is there something we should know Hillary?
You see it, don’t you?
Vote for…someone - even Pedro!
It’s that time again. Time for all the newspapers to run stories of rumors, presented as fact and corporate America to write big fat checks to men and women, in hopes of capturing their favor once (if) they reach office.
In other words - it’s time to vote for our next presidential leader. If you’re like me and unsure who you should vote for this year, then Davenport, Iowa’s WQAD Select a Candidate Quiz might be a great tool for you. It asks the important questions and then matches you with a candidate who best fits your personal beliefs.
Anymore, it’s hard to know where the candidate stand, with all the flip-flopping going on. I still recall the first time I voted for president. Thinking back on it, it’s still really ticks me off. It was the year that Ross Perot ran for President. At the time, I lived in Texas and Ross was a big thing there. Bill Clinton ended up winning that race and we became a country lead by a saxophone playing pot smoker (who didn’t inhale). He’d go on to ‘not have sexual relations’ with Monica Lewinsky and leave office after two terms in a cloud of shame.
The bottom line for me is that I’m just darn confused about what candidate best fits my personal convictions. If you know where you stand, then like I said, the above tool is great, so I highly recommend everyone use it, to see if you’ve deciphered the double talk we’ve been subjected to for the last year.
I wont even get started on the media and their irresponsible reporting of their ‘opinion’ as fact. Ugh.
