Sanford and Sin

With apologies to the Rachel Maddow show for jacking their title, the Governor of South Carolina finally showed up today.

After being harder to find than Carmen Sandiego and Waldo governor Mark Sanford finally was found not on the Appalachian trail but in Argentina on a erotic getaway. In a press conference Sanford revealed that he had been having an affair with a woman in Argentina so it stands to reason that is why he was there on his erotic adventure.

At the press conference made all the more strange by several giggling bystanders behind him, he apologized profusely to everyone: his kids, his wife, his political allies and to the people of South Carolina.

The press conference made for interesting news but it was not really necessary to do. the governor simply could have let out a statement explaining his whereabouts and then gradually revealed his affair to the public. nowadays it seems anyone that cheats has to throw themselves on the altar of public opinion with a press conference complete with regretful tears and the understanding wife by their side.

well at least now we know why the Governor originally turned down the stimulus packet, he was getting his own stimulus packet on the side.

defining marriage

I was accidentally watching the Bill O'Reilly show and the topic was gay marriage. He said something that made me think. he said something to the effect that gay marriage could not be legalized because then people would be able to marry animals and ducks and claim equal protection if they were not allowed. that is a paraphrase not an exact quote.

I realized that O'Reilly is wrong because marriage has been defined, not just here but in mostly all countries in the world. A law saying marriage is between two consenting adults would quell all people scared of the odd marriage: man and duck, man and computer, woman and Dennis Rodman.

throughout the history of the USA marriage has been regulated with laws, there are still miscegenation laws on the books someplace forbidding interracial marriages . You can't marry a person unless they are of legal age. You can't be married to more than one wife at a time and you can't have more than one wife at a time.

so define marriage as a union between two consenting adults and all will be well.

Barack Obama wins presidency

After a long and contentious campaign at times Barack Obama wins the presidency. The first man of African descent, the first ethnic person other than white to hold this position. I don't know what the future holds but for now we have a snapshot in history.

Election Day

Today is November 4^th 2008, Election Day and it is raining here in Virginia Hopefully a little bit if rain won’t deter voters from going to the polls. Today the country votes for either John McCain or Barrack Obama so by Wednesday we will no what kind of history will be made, the first black president or the first female vice president

truth in politics

You do yourself a disservice if you blindly follow the word of politicians, any politicians whether they are "your guy" or from another party. I have found instances where both of the current presidential candidates made lies and half truths about the other and if you just follow the cult of your party you will not know the truth. I implore you to research claims yourself and not be spoon fed information by people with an agenda. Here are some sites I have found helpful, check them out I am begging you, I am begging you

why blacks vote democrat

A lot of people wonder why black people always vote for Democrats and outside of the historical view I can offer my own opinion. To some blacks the Republican party seems a party mostly concerned with the welfare of the white and rich and a friend of business over the little man. What always puzzled me was when did black people switch to the Democratic party.

I have been reading some things and I have discovered that black people started to vote Democrat when President Franklin D. Roosevelt came into office in 1933

"Blacks did not come into the Democratic Party until Roosevelt's New Deal began
in 1933, and even then it was very slow. The Democratic Party in the South was
organized like a private club that banned all but whites. Any black who had the
temerity to challenge the system might end up being jailed, or in some extreme
cases, pay with his life"-Thomas Fleming

Sarah Smiles

The closer the election gets the more it seems Barack Hussein Obama may not be the next president of the united states. The introduction of Sarah Palin has really energized Hillary Clinton supporters it seems to jump party lines and go for McCain. A odd thing since the two female candidates seem to be far apart on a lot of issues and their only commonality seems to be that they both are female. It makes you wonder would we even know about Sarah Palin had Hillary been put on as Obamas vp or if she had won the democratic nomination. Since she was not really vetted like vp candidates are usually, it makes you think she was chosen to lure in Hillary supporters looking to elect a woman. Nawwwwww, people wouldn't ignore issue and vote for someone because they identified with their race, sex or age would they?

who are you again?

Radio talk show host Bill Cunningham made some comments at John McCain's rally that some thought were a little out of line so McCain apologized for the comments and distanced himself from the guy. This made Cunningham spitting mad so he decided he was through with McCain and would lend his support to Hillary Clinton. All i have to say is "who are you again?" That has always bothered me. why anyone cares what these people say or think. they are part of the self same media they rail against. Bill O'reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Ariana Huffington, Keith Oberman all TV or radio personalities or authors. Not politicians or the people that vote for the candidates, why should I care what Rush(drug addict) Limbaugh thinks. these people are as arrogant as movie critics that criticize every movie and try to tell you what you should be watching.
