The last debate.... Thank god...

First of all.. 101.1 is playing X-mas music already.. Last I checked we are more than 2 weeks away from HALLOWEEN!!! When will it start next year, Labor day? How ridiculous.

The final presidential debate was held last night. And again John McCain looked like a bitter old man who just wants Obama to "get off his lawn". McCain proposes to not raise any taxes, introduce new spending for children with special needs, bailout homeowners, and balance the budget by the end of his first term. Wow, that's awfully aggressive. The best part is that he never tells you how he's going to raise the funds in order to do this. He looks really bad right now. His "plans" don't explain anything. At one point he said he's going to "cure Autism". That's impressive. I wonder why he hasn't done so already. Also he's said in the past debates that he "knows how to find Osama Bin Laden." Not sure why John is holding out on all of us. Maybe he's not very smart. If he "found Osama" he would win any election in a landslide. Then again, who knows what the hell that guy's thinking on a moment to moment basis. He doesn't, he seems to change his mind every time he speaks it.

And then you have Obama. Cool, poised, well-spoken. Looking very presidential while McCain is spewing venom at him. At one point, Obama had an opportunity to rip Sarah Palin and he declined. He took the high road and merely praised his VP pick. When McCain was asked about Biden (a man McCain has called a "good friend") he tried his hardest to make Joe appear foolish and lacking judgement. Sad. The whole McCain campaign has been terribly run. At one point I used to like McCain because he was more of a middle-of-the-road republican. But now he seems just like every other republican candidate for president (Bush). For once wouldn't it be nice to have an articulate and thoughtful president. Any republican that can still stand by the Bush economic theory is a moron by any definition. Lets do the right thing this year.

Finally, lets talk about Joe Plumber. I don't feel sorry at all for this guy. If he's worried about Obama's tax increase for people making $250,000 a year, I have no sympathy. Maybe if I were making that much I would care. But you have to hand it to Obama. At least he's explaining where the money is going to come from for his new spending. McCain still has yet to do that. For all those people saying Obama is going to turn the country into a socialism. Shut up. Nobody was complaining when Clinton was in office. The rich stayed rich and the middle class experienced lots of economic growth as well. So just shut your yapper.

synonyms for maverick..

This is absolutely disgusting.. Sarah Palin is making a speech in Florida. Let me guess, her and John McCain are "mavericks", and they're going to "shake things up in Washington". They won't give you any specifics, they'll just make general declarations. Sound familiar? Oh yeah, W. did that too. That worked out well. Anyways, what's set me off this time is something I saw. Directly behind her is a lady in the crowd with a "Christ for Palin" sign. What the hell? HOW DO YOU KNOW WHO "CHRIST" IS FOR? This kind of religious propaganda is how George W. Bush got elected. I'm sorry, I'm not against religion. (Maverick counter: 4) If that's what makes you happy, then by all means. But I'm tired of being force-fed religion as some sort of relative election platform. I don't think God's even eligible to vote. He wasn't born in the USA and I think we would've heard something if he applied for citizenship. There's a reason we have a seperation of church and state. Religion is organized superstition. (Maverick counter: 7) You can't vote for canidates based on who they say "Christ" would vote for. This is ridiculous, and it's a joke. Who is that lady to speak for god? Last time I checked that's called blasphemy.

If I hear that word "maverick" one more time.. Sarah here are some synonyms for the word maverick: nonconformist, loner, independent. Choose one, expand your vocab, it's cool.

Finally Sarah has the audacity to talk about Obama's Iraq policy. If it were up to him, WE WOULDN'T BE THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE. Sorry he had the foresight to realize what this war would do to our economy. Thanks to W's arrogance, Bin Laden is winning. Barack wants to withdraw our troops in a timely fashion. Then maybe go after Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. But no, that's a terrible idea. And just like her daughter, Sarah Palin says no to the withdrawal, you'd think she would've learned her lesson! (rimshot) That's my joke, good night everybody! Watch the debate tonight, make your own decision, and vote on Nov. 4th.

101 and counting..

What a beautiful morning. The sun is shining brighter, the air seems fresher, not a cloud in the sky. To some it may seem like another fall morning, but something is different about today. Could it be I'm feeling more confident about the nation's economy since the bailout bill passed? Nah, that bill actually sucks. Maybe it's a great day because O.J. is finally getting what he deserves. He did, but that really doesn't do anything for me. Then it dawns on me. I know why today is so magnificent, the Cubs lost! Not only did they lose in the first round of the playoffs, they got swept. The number 1 team in the NL sucks. They are so bad they've lost 9 straight playoff games. I can't wait until the next Cubs fan trys to talk trash about the Cards. Yeah, we didn't make the playoffs, but we also won as many postseason games as the Cubs did. And we didn't choke under high expectations, the baby bears did. What else would you expect from a team that hasn't won a championship in 100 years? Also, the Cubs spent almost $20 million more dollars than we did. For what? For an embarrassing exit from the playoffs. Nothing was better than listening to Wrigley Field go silent in games 1 and 2. The place could've been empty for all we know. At least all the cubs fans were together so they could cry on each other's shoulders. A team of futility. The overwhelming pressure to win seems to grip the whole city. Eventually it squeezed the life out of the Cubs and their bats. With all that's going on in the world, the fourth place finish by the red birds, it's nice to have something go right. On behalf of all Cards fans, Thank you Cubs!
