Here are a couple before pictures that I took early this morning, during their prep work. Well, I feel good about keeping these people working. Although, they are busy, they only had 4 days left this year to do phase 2 of the painting. And I have them 4 days this week, and 4 next. They are quick....
I decided to make a little video with an image of Barack Obama that I have always really liked. I used the song "Rhapsody in Blue" by George Gershwin to go with the image. I think it came out of kind of cool. I am still going to try to upload it to YouTube, but there is a 10 minute rule so I don't...
What a week! My finals for my 1st 6 weeks of culinary class has come and gone. Governor Palin did just fine at the debate with dork head Biden and my favorite---Da orenthal james simpson gots to goh to jayle! First of all, I bet most people don't know that Biden is all for raising taxes. He voted...
let me just put it out there. i know i'm not voting this election, but it's an age restriction, not an indifference or an apathetic disposition. if i was going to vote, i'd vote obama. these are the reasons why. i've been confronted by teachers, students and others about this election and my...
What did you think about the Vice Presidential debate? I thought they both did well. However, though I am not a big McCain fan, I am more and more a fan of Sarah Palin's! Last night helped cement my support of her. Now don't get me wrong, I would vote for McCain regardless. Not because I support...
Wisconsin supporters of Obama react to a rally in La Crosse.
Today I wanted to talk about the comparative treatment of Joe Biden and Sarah Palin in the media. I wanted to make the case that Gwen Ifill has a clear ethical conflict because she stands to profit from the victory of Barack Obama. I was going to go over all the things I thought Sarah Palin should...
Victor Davis Hanson: Journalists continue to ask, “What was John McCain thinking in selecting the gaffe-prone Gov. Sarah Palin?” In what has now become a disturbing pattern, the Alaska governor seems either unable or unwilling to avoid embarrassing statements that are often as untrue as they are...

John McCain: Miss Congeniality Still Can't Win The Election, originally uploaded by PayPaul. McCain is anything but Congenial. He's a two dollar bill phony with a right wing looney for a running mate. He should be labeled Miss Disingenuous. He's also dangerous. It'll four years of McPain if a small...
As anyone who knows me certainly realizes, or as anyone who has read my previous posts--namely my introduction--has probably surmised, I grew up in a very conservative household. Indeed, in my community, conservativism is more than a political philosophy, it is a moral dogma second only to...
I am starting to get a deeper understanding of what defines political parties and their platforms. A lot of that insight comes from thinking about the way computers automatically generate decision trees to classify data. Imagine you have a set of questions. They could be about anything that people...
With the US Presidential elections just a month away, and neither US party wishing to be the one that bails out billionaire bankers at the expense of Mike Main St., the $700Bn bail-out of Wall St. via the 'Bad Bank of America' has suddenly vanished and the US is faced with the popular (yet...
There are some talk shows I like to listen to in the car, like Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Howie Carr, etc. (okay, maybe even a little Art Bell oldies too). I'm suddenly not liking them so much anymore. All they (except Art Bell) seem to spew is republican propaganda lately. Is it just me? What...
Well, after all the drama, the first Presidential debate finally happened last night. I watched the whole debate, albeit with one eye and ear on my laptop! Overall, I thought both candidates did quite well. McCain appeared poised and decisive, and Obama’s answers were succinct and to-the-point....
Rather than provide running commentary as I have done in the past, I will respond to the debates afterward with a general impression. Going into it, I have to confess that my spirits are at an all-time low. Before Palin's selection I was neutral to glum about the situation for conservatives. An...
<as seen at ThePeoplesCube.com> A group of McCain-Palin supporters dare to march through the Upper West Side - and are met with hatred and rage for being infidels in the heart of liberal Mecca. Republicans are as out of place there as elephants at a donkey show. Area intellectuals jeer them well -...
OK. In the 6th grade, I can still remember political campaigns of the time. I knew what my parents wanted. I thought Reagan and Bush Sr were supposed to be cool because Dad said so. Kids are so easily lead in their belief systems. However, we never wore political crap to school. We also didn't wear...
What is going on? This morning I am growing more and more frustrated with our “big two” candidates reducing the huge issues of our lives to political tools. This time it started in the morning with (as best as I can tell) a request from Senator Obama’s people to put out a bipartisan statement...
