Barack Obama Represents Change… Right?

I am very excited about the upcoming inauguration of President Elect Barack Obama.
I believe in his message of change… but staunch supporter that I may be, I also believe in asking questions, and holding people- even president elects that I love- accountable to the promises they have made.
It is based on that premise that I [...]

How To Spell Palin: P-U-M-A

Some people want to know why I came out of the box so quickly yesterday in protest of McCain’s VP pick, Sarah Palin.
I’ve been told by a person or two that I was perhaps a bit tough on the old gal.
I disagree… I honestly don’t think I was hard enough on her… and certainly not on John [...]

Only In America…

Boy am I excited.
The Democratic National Convention really has me goin’.
I was at my desk today, about to get off work, and my supervisor says, “You’re glowing! Got a hot date?”
I gleefully told her that I’m just excited about getting home and tuning in to watch Obama speak tonight.
No really- it’s true.
I have loved every [...]

Hillary Clinton, Marine Corps T-Shirts and The DNC

Today Hillary Clinton chose to behave as a good sport should, and has moved to stop the roll call vote at the Convention, allowing Obama to officially accept the nomination by acclamation.

DNC, Hillary Clinton and Lame-A$$ Supporters

The Democratic National Convention is here.
I’m excited. Seriously.
If I could have taken the week off work to go to Denver- or hell, to sit at home on my couch eating bon-bons watching this shit unfold- I would have.
Unfortunately, I’m out of vacation time, so I, like the rest of you have to watch it on cable tv… [...]

Hillary Clinton Finally Threw in the Towel

Hil finally did it! She has suspended her campaign and endorsed Barack Obama as the Democratic nominee for president.
Yippee!
I’d say it’s about time.
Before the speech started, while they were showing all the people who came out to support her… I realized… Man, she really is a rockstar, isn’t she? I chose to watch her concession speech on C-Span…
I saw grown ass [...]

Crazed Women, Sore Losers, Priests and the UCC

Alright, so Obama has resigned from Trinity United Church of Christ. He doesn’t want to have to answer for every word that comes from that church and he doesn’t want the church to have to answer for everything that’s happening in his campaign either.
This revelation hurts me a little… I am a proud member of [...]
