Two buddies?

After watching Marion Jones on the Oprah show today I have concluded that she and Barry Bonds would make a great pair.

As for McCain now saying that Obama is not ready to be president - NOW, of course, because McCain wants to be president NOW while he is still ALIVE. In four years he may not be alive.

Lies, lies, lies

I just heard McCain say on TV that with Obama, Pelosi, and Reid you have a recipe for tax and spend, tax and spend, tax and spend. Ha! With McCain it would be spend, spend, spend with no way to pay for it other than possibly cutting Medicare and Social Security. The one thing that really needs to be cut if the war in Iraq. Now THAT would free up a lot of funds for greatly needed programs here at home.

Vacation Time

Yippee...only 73 days until my vacation but with the stock market continuing to plunge, I will have nothing to live on once I get home. What do I do?

Political buzzwords

McCain and his henchmen love to use buzzwords like socialists to scare people. The truth is that there is no such thing as a pure democracy anywhere. McCain's problem is that he wants any socialism to benefit big corporations and not the small guys.

By the numbers...

On a morning in which the song "One Night Only" is playing over and over in my mind, I also realize that there are only 18 days left until the election. Also, there are only 80 days left until my next vacation. Yippee on both accounts.

Going to hell in a handbasket...

I guess we have to face it. The fat cats have got theirs but the common folk, if they ever had anyting are losing it very fast and will continue to do so until we rid the world of the greedy people who rule the world and all of its institutions.

Knock it Off

I am sick and tired of this and McCain and his followers have got to knock it off with their charges against Barack Obama in reference to a very casual encounter with a 70's radical.

Keating Five

Do we really want one of these people to become President of the United States?

Fat Cats

Oh great, we give billions to the fat cats on Wall Street in hopes that the economy will turn around but NO, the stock market continues its slide into oblivion. We should have left well enough alone. This is a worldwide problem now just as in 1929.

A tie vote?

Uh, oh, you don't suppose the Obama/McCain race could end up in a Tie Vote in the Electoral College this year? Apparently some people in Germany or at the Reuters News Agency thinks that might happen and that sure would be a mess which would make the debacle in Floriday in 1980 looks like a Sunday picnic in comparison.

I'm bushed

After a very late night out Saturday and spending four hours in the sun on my feet at the Castro Street Fair, I am very tired and should be able to sleep well tonight. Nothing exciting happened today as it was the same old routine but it was nice to be outdoors on a sunny fall afternoon. We won't have many more of those as rain is on the way again.

Big Brother is getting bigger

Whither thou goest oh sweet civil liberties? The FBI is taking over and you better watch out because of these new regulations.

"The new road map allows investigators to recruit informants, employ physical surveillance and conduct interviews in which agents disguise their identities in an effort to assess national security threats. FBI agents could pursue each of those steps without any single fact indicating a person has ties to a terrorist organization."

The above paragraph is quoted from a news article this morning regarding the expanded powers of the FBI. I wonder if this could cause as many problems as it solves. It actually sounds a little bit un-American to me.
