With John McCain's party's sorry and sad attempts to connect Barack Obama with antiwar terrorist Ayers, new revelations have come to light which beg the question: Who is the real Sarah Palin? The hockey mom? The pitbull with lipstick? The mother of a 17 year old pregnant daughter whose baby daddy is a self proclaimed "red neck' (euphimism for racist anyone?), a lovely hometown girl brought up with traditional values and wink to win America's hearts?

Yes to all of the above. And that's it. That's who she is. Yes rebuplicans, breathe a sigh of relief. *PHEW*.....Oh wait, what's this? She's a reformer, a damned, "abusing your political power to fire a former brother-in-law", reformer.

Maverick; a politician, who takes an independent stand apart from his or her associates -- doesn't seem like she's that much of a MAVERICK when it comes to the Republican party.  Read More »

Tonight, 20/20 will air a segment by John Stossel that entertains the argument that perhaps some people should not vote. This would have been a great piece and offered interesting dialogue in a subject matter that most folks do not second-guess.

That is … until John Stossel inserted his agenda and bias and attempted to make a piece on discouraging young voters from participating in their civic duty.

I agree with the premise of the argument. I do not think that uninformed voters should be casting their votes but at the same time I do not believe the government should set up standards in order to indentify these individuals.  Read More »

Democrat Rick Noriega will debate incumbent Republican Senator John Cornyn on Thursday, October 9, 2008. The League of Women Voters of the Houston Area Education Fund and Houston PBS have sponsored the debate and it will air across Texas via your local PBS station.

Libertarian Yvonne Schick will also participte in the event. The debate will air at 8 pm CST and if you are in the Houston area, you are more than welcomed to attend the Houston Debate Watch Party at 3200 Kirby Drive Suite 200.

This should be an intresting debate in an intresting race that is shaping up in Texas. John Cornyn does lead Rick Noriega in polls but that could all change when they face off.

White privilege is when you can get pregnant at seventeen like Bristol Palin and everyone is quick to insist that your life and that of your family is a personal matter, and that no one has a right to judge you or your parents, because "every family has challenges," even as black and Latino families with similar "challenges" are regularly typified as irresponsible, pathological and arbiters of social decay.

White privilege is when you can call yourself a "fuckin' redneck," like Bristol Palin's boyfriend does, and talk about how if anyone messes with you, you'll "kick their fuckin' ass," and talk about how you like to "shoot shit" for fun, and still be viewed as a responsible, all-American boy (and a great son-in-law to be) rather than a thug.  Read More »

I am going on a week long vacation to our nation's capital. I will be in Washington D.C. for the rest of this week. I am not sure if I will be posting during my extended stay.

I will be following other Political blogs and news via my iPhone and Twitter of course. I can not wait until Thursday's debate. I will have to find a local pub where Washington Insiders congregate to join in on the fun.

You can view my trip's itinerary on the Yahoo! Travel website and read my journal. Until next week.

Goodbye!
