Comment on How Barack Obama Won the Presidency by C. Neiman

Another main reason the attacks don’t stick is because “there’s no there there.” They’re completely insignificant. Obama is actually an upstanding man, rare in politics.

Comment on Will McCain’s Pick of Sarah Palin for VP Work? by Bryan

Sarah Palin is an awesome Gun-toting hockey mom who has shown she can bring about change, not just talk about it. All of a sudden the Democrats are not so invincible….

In the late 1950s, most Cubans thought Cuba needed a change, and they were right.
So when a young leader came along, every Cuban was at least receptive. When the young leader spoke eloquently and passionately and denounced the old system, the press fell in love with him.
They never questioned who his friends were or what he really believed in. When he said he would help the farmers and the poor and bring free medical care and education to all, everyone followed.
When he said he would bring justice and equality to all, everyone said “Praise the Lord.” And when the young leader said, “I will be for change and I’ll bring you change,” everyone yelled, “Viva Fidel!” But nobody asked about the change, so by the time the executioner’s guns went silent the people’s guns had been taken away.
By the time everyone was equal, they were equally poor, hungry, and oppressed.
By the time everyone received their free education it was worth nothing.
By the time the press noticed, it was too late, because they were now working for him.
By the time the change was finally implemented Cuba had been knocked down a couple of notches to Third-World status.
By the time the change was over more than a million people had taken to boats, rafts, and inner tubes.
You can call those who made it ashore anywhere else in the world the most fortunate Cubans.
Luckily, we would never fall in America for a young leader who promised change without asking, what change?
How will you carry it out?
What will it cost America?
Would we?

Hello… I don’t know if trackbacking pinging is shown here though, so I’ll go with the “poor man’s trackback” (need to do this at several bloggers’ entries - among other to-dos - before leaving for the Convention).

Comment on Will McCain’s Pick of Sarah Palin for VP Work? by stanlee

So, McCain’s VP choice is decided by the fact that she will appeal to the same people who supported Hillary. What does that say about women? That they will support literally anyone that is a woman just because the person is a woman? What an insult. Not only to women, but to Hillary Clinton. That’s like the old saying, “Turn them upside down and they all look the same.” And, what if McCain dies in office? We end up with a pretty PTA mom as our commander in chief and leader of the free world. And, what does this say about McCain? He met Sarah Palin once before selecting her to be the Republican candidate for Vice-President of the United States of America. This feels sadly like the same guy who “chased Cindy around the hors d’ouevre table” while the mother of his children took care of the family. Same smitten guy sucking air through his clenched teeth, except 30 years older. How disrespectful of those who have served our country. How disrespectful to all of us. Flat out pandering, just to get votes. Pathetic.

I am happy to see the lovely Colin Cunningham doing well. His performances in Da Vinci’s, Stargate and The 4400 show him to be a versatile and talented actor, and it’s great to see him branching out so successfully.

Comment on Miley Cyrus Makes Great Career Move with Vanity Fair Photo Spread by Bryan

yeah, Id agree its good for business. Her mom is her manager and was at the shoot, her dad was at the shoot, and she posed for the photo, so Id guess it was a premeditated thing since none of them objected to the photo. The results speak for themselves, shes getting all kinds of free publicity. How much this will really effect her career is another question.
