It’s pretty obvious to me that with the Clinton campaign pulling this crap about Obama and the Muslim garb he was photographed in, that they are in official desperation mode. Can’t say that I am shocked. Nor should anyone else be. Anyone with a clue should have the knowledge that Hillary Clinton cares about only one thing: Power. And Barack Obama is the biggest obstacle for her to reach that power. So, with that in mind, she will do anything it takes to win the presidency. Not because she gives a rat’s ass about you or me. But because she thirsts for power.
This goes to show how out of touch Hillary Clinton and her henchmen (sorry. Henchpeople. Have to be politically correct here.) are with the average American people. We are sick of politics. And we are sick of these kinds of tactics. If people already don’t hate Hillary enough, this just adds to it. I already despise this broad, so my disgust with her couldn’t grow anymore.
Man I hope she loses. I hope she loses badly.

I’ve always thought of myself as fairly conservative. But lately with all that is happening in the world of politics right now, I feel the need to rethink my positions. I do have a couple of liberal views and my reasons for them, so I know I’m not 100% conservative. So what the hell am I really?
So today I made it a point to use this beautiful Al Gore invention and search the web for answers. Maybe a test or quiz.? Some kind of questionaire to help me determine if I’m a “right wing nut job” or a “tree hugging hippie”. Well, I think I found one. Check it out here. It comes from the website people-press.org, and it looks as if these folks specialize in this kind of research. The questions, and the page are dated 2005, but I figure it’s close enough.
So I took the test. And the results were slightly shocking. I’m not as conservative as I thought. But I’m no “bleeding heart”, either. Did it do anything to make it clearer who I’m going to vote for this November? Not really. Unless you include the fact that I will never vote for Hillary Clinton. But I knew that before I took the quiz.

The more I see stuff like this, the more I like Barack Obama.
Seriously, though. What’s not to like about the guy? I mean, besides his liberal views on things.

Last night I watched the election results on CNN while enjoying a glass of sweet tea. Why is that significant, you may ask? Depends on which part of the first statement you are curious about. If you are referring to the election results, then they weren’t significant, really. No candidate really demolished another. So that means the campaigns will go on. I have to tell you that I kind of like this. If the race stays tight, then maybe my home state of Texas will become significant come March 4th when it will have it’s Primary election. That would in turn mean that the candidates would have to come down here to do some heavy campaigning. And I have no problem watching prominent politicians come to the Lone Star state to smooch a bunch of voter butt cheeks. Pucker up!
Now if you were more interested in why I was drinking sweet tea last night, well, I always drink sweet tea. In fact, I love sweet tea. Which brings me to Fat Tuesday. Which in turn brings me to that famed time of year where dedicated Catholics appear grumpier than usual. Yup. Lent. I am giving up sweet tea again this year. Along with red meat. And go to church every Sunday. I think that will be all I can handle this year.
I’m thinking of a self-imposed penalty should I falter in any of these. Maybe punish myself by shaving my head or depriving myself of sleep. I don’t know. Something that will keep going strong with this. I’m open to suggestions if you have any.

Here’s a time saver for you from Mahalo Daily…
You look at this and realize how much time these windbags waste criticizing each other. Getting old.

I didn’t catch last night’s Republican debate on MSNBC. Partly because I’m starting to get tired of the political immaturity. But mostly because I didn’t want to take the chance of hearing Keith Olberman speak. That guy seriously sucks now. I liked him much better when he used to read sports scores to me.
Anyway, I found this little cartoon on Politico.com. I think it sums up the Republican candidates pretty accurately.
Makes me yearn for a simpler time. With the innocence that was getting up early on Saturday morning to eat waffles and watch the Smurfs.

Seeing Hillary in HD made me lose sleep, too. And almost turned my hair white.
Yes folks, open season on all politicians is in full swing.

While we’re on the subject of politics…
The mayor of a little town in Oregon has some pretty revealing pics of herself on, where else, her MySpace page. Here’s one of them…
Her name is Carmen Kontur-Gronquist, and is the mayor of Arlington, Oregon. A little town with a population of about 500. She is taking some heat for her half-naked images. But the Mayor has taken a fresh approach about all this attention her pics are getting.
“I’m not going to change who I am. There’s a lot of officials that have a personal life, and you have people in this community who have nothing better to do than scrape up stuff like this.”
She has a point. So what if she takes a pic on a city fire truck with nothing but her bra and panties? She looks like she’s in good shape, and is obviously wanting to show off her body. Not bad for a forty-something. At least that’s what I’m guessing. She may want to back away from the tanning bed a bit.
Anyway, if I lived in that little town in east Oregon, I would be proud of the mayor. I mean, who the hell knew there was an Arlington, Oregon before this happened? And I would definitely vote for her. And keep re-electing her. Until she looked bad in lingerie, that is.
I bet it’s fun to see her working the “polls” come election time. Ha! Get it?
