Bob Riley's Endorsement

Well it looks like I've settled on who I'll be voting for. I was really tied up in knots because the runoff election is tomorrow and even after creating a spreadsheet, I was still uncertain as to who I was going to vote for. One I could easily eliminate but the other two were neck and neck.

Then I remembered something. Governor Bob Riley would have gotten my vote. I had a problem when my daughter tried to start college. I won't get into all the details, but to summarize they were slacking on the paperwork for my daughter and they even told her that she would have to come back next year, this after everything was complete. I called the President of the school who assured me he'd take care of it, only for him to not do a thing. I contacted the governor's office and the very next day the President called me and personally escorted my daughter to the office who refused to see her. He asked me not to call the governor again (which I did not tell him I did) so this was proof that the Governor helped us.

Phew! That was only the brief explanation, can you imagine if I added the details? Anyway, the point is that I would not care if Bob Riley robbed a liquor store, he will always get my vote in any election he ever runs in.

That said, I couldn't believe I had overlooked his endorsement. Why oh why had I not checked on that? Today when I was looking to see who Sarah Palin endorsed, which I never found, it dawned on me. I needed to check on Riley's endorsement and then that settled it.

I am now voting for Byrne without a shadow of a doubt. He was neck and neck on my list (my spreadsheet) alongside Bentley, but now I know for certain and feel good about it.

Many thanks again to the Governor Bob Riley for his help in my daughter's education and I look forward to tomorrow's primary runoff.

I'm keeping my finger's crossed.

London Can Take It!

Being an American, I can certainly say this through experience. American's can be annoying as all get out. We are a selfish people and today everything is about me.
It is all about what inconveniences me. It's about what I want to do and not about what others think or feel. It is about me not being offended but definitely not about Christians being offended nor overweight people. The government needs to take care of me and make companies spend tons of money every year to prevent anything and everything that could happen to make me unsafe. It is not my responsibility to take care of myself.
Now consider the following video. Just take a few minutes to watch it.





What would today's Americans do in that situation? I can tell you! We would - today - surrender to Germany to avoid the inconvenience. We would blame the president, or if Obama were still in office the "previous administration" that Obama so very frequently likes to blame.

Disgusting, isn't it? It truly makes me ashamed to be an American and I never EVER thought I'd say that in a million years.

Obviously Ahmadinejad has been drinking the oil his country owns.

There is no excuse why a confused and disoriented man such as Ahmadinejad should deny the holocaust.

Now here's the funny part. He says he's "proud" of his claim too. Proud of what exactly? Of his ignorance? Of the proof that his education was an absolute failure? Of the fact that he just verified, for everyone, that he is incapable of being a good leader? Of the fact that he is a laughingstock? Of the fact that a pig could better run his country than he can? Is that was he's proud of? It certainly must be because anyone foolish enough to embarrass himself like that to the world has proven this.

Finally! Health care reform I can believe in.

This reminds me of those priceless or perfect world commercials. This is the way health care reform should be done. It's amazingly simple, and yet so effective. Obama is such a failure! It's too bad he's only a leading consumer advocate. He could seriously be a great president.

In fact...

How about Clark Howard 2012?

Can someone explain to me why ACORN's doors are STILL open?!

I haven't said too much about this. It's just so outrageous that it doesn't seem worth my time in saying so. The audacity for a company to use government funds to help hookers, pimps and worse, child prostitution ring leaders is just shocking. Except for closing ACORN down, it appears that there is nothing left to say about it, except to add that criminal charges should be filed against all board members and the CEO. Quite possibly even the CFO as well.

Let's review the events, shall we? First let me just say where it says "edited video" this is for obvious reasons. Anyone in the internet world knows that size does matter when it comes to video. Videos are edited for time purposes and to attempt to claim otherwise is a futile effort.

The articles that are linked to below are from a variety of news agencies such as ABC, CBS, CNN, the New York Times and Washington Post to name a few. I have deliberately looked for ACORN news in major media sites and not just conservative sites. Not surprisingly, that is sometimes a problem.

ACORN is no Chicken Little

This is no false warning. The message here is clear and something we should all be concerned with. How can anyone try to falsify things so hookers and pimps can work out of their homes?

Jimmy Carter is a Senile Old Man

If Obama were white, then what would Jimmy Carter have said? It sounds like the only ones keeping racism alive are folks like Jimmy Carter.

No wonder he lost the election for his second term! The people spoke but unfortunately for everyone, Carter didn't get the message.
