first post. for the record, these are my views, philosophies, and beefs. they are based on knowledge, research, and logical thought. the nucleus is the brain of the cell - where all the information is kept. this is a blog about my thoughts on the information out there. constructive feedback is welcome. informed opinions are encouraged. bitch about writing style or language and find yourself deleted. ad hominem attacks on me will be thwarted. i appreciate logical arguements, not name calling. that being said, here goes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
for the sake of full disclosure. i am leaning towards obama, but am not a brainwashed follower. i do not think he is the second coming and don't agree with everything he and biden say. i respect john mccain and agree with him on some issues. i simply feel obama is the better choice. the problem with this election right now is that no one wants to discuss relevent issues (though talking about the economy is a good start - see below). people are out there on both sides bitching about non-issues. he called here a pig/he didn't call her a pig, etc. there are important issues to discuss.
there is no job out there that gives you the experience to be president, except president. being a senator means you know how washington works, but from the wrong end of pennsylvania ave. being a governor gives some executive experience, but running a state is very different from running a country. and for the love of god, why do people want a candidate that they can have a beer with? i don't want a regular joe/joan to be president. i want a person who is intelligent, thoughtful, realistic, and logical. hasn't anyone noticed what happens to the country when a regular guy who you wouldn't mind having a beer with is in charge? it doesn't tend to work out. i want someone with gravitas. also, i don't care what color or sex that person is. i want the best person. if that person is black (or half as the case may be), fine. if that person is female, fine. but voting for someone because they are black or female is short sighted. vote for the best person.
so mccain says the economy is strong, realizes how silly that sounds and changes it to the workers in the economy are strong. yeah, nice try. biden blames hedge funds for the problems with the economy, even though hedge funds are small compared to the investments of lehman, et al. so, both sides seem to be talking about topics they don't fully grasp. why is it lawyers and not economists who run for office?
good weekend of football. leave ed hochuli alone. he's one of the best ref's out there. he made a mistake and everyone else has the benefit of the review. its not so easy at real speed. the nfl needs to change the rule.
college hoops starts in a little over a month and a half. too long to wait.
that's it for today. i could rant long enough to fill all of the space blogspot gave to me, but will leave that for additional posts. fell free to comment on the substance. i will try and post something everyday if i can.
