Bush > or = McCain

May 16th, 2008 -- Posted in American Politics | 4 Comments »

Well it has been one interesting week in Politics culminating with President Bush making that silly speech in Israel. I didn’t want to make another title called the ‘Bush Theory’ so instead I will take a stab at why President Bush made such an illogical statement given that he must have known the Democrats would call him out for it. John McCain jumped on the bandwagon as well which is no surprise given what I have read in the first ten pages of the Real McCain so far about his political deviousness. I received this email from MoveOn.org quite a few days ago but never thought to really post it to this site until I got another email today. This is more for liberals but some conservatives might get a kick out of it as well. I thought I knew a fair amount about President Bush and Senator McCain but I only scored 1 out 5 on this challenge, how did everyone else do?

The People vs. West Virginia

Well I have been thinking about reorganizing the sidebar of this blog to move up the Twitter Applet so that more people can take notice of it. I am not sure if many people are aware of Twitter but the nice thing for me is that I can blog my thoughts from my mobile if I am out and about. I have a really bad memory when it comes to remembering good idea’s which is why I have a mobile phone with a keyboard to write all these sorts of thoughts down when they happen.

The other thought I had today is that I have been trying to get this site W3C certified which I am not sure why I need to do this but apparently I have been told by some other bloggers that it helps. The problem though is when I tried to validate site, I have 64 xhtml errors. I dislike programming with a passion but I am going to have to slog through those errors at some point this weekend. The good news is that by the end of today I should hopefully have transcribed this interview I did with a friend of mine who is studying for her Masters in Economics in Canada. We had a fascinating discussion about the global food crisis and the possible solutions for the medium-short term.

I watched this video this morning and found it quite hysterical but a little sad at the same time. The Daily Show had some clips of some people when they were asked about why they did not vote for Barack Obama. Some people honestly replied because they thought he was muslim and one lady even said: “his people and our people do not get along…” Seriously :)
