Mississippi

Looks like Obama will get Mississippi today.

Below is the editorial from South Mississippi's newspaper, The Sun Herald.

Mississippi matters today, but what about tomorrow?


-- Regardless of the outcome of today's presidential primaries, Mississippians need to hold the attention of the three primary presidential contenders long after the polls close.

That's because all three - Hillary Clinton, John McCain and Barack Obama - still occupy seats in the United States Senate and it is in that upper house of Congress that Rep. Gene Taylor's multi-peril insurance legislation is stalled.

These three senators could - with the national media attention constantly focused on them - instantly focus the nation's attention on the insurance crisis that is overtaking more and more American homeowners.

If the private sector will not or cannot offer homeowners affordable and accountable protection for their property, then the federal government must.

This deplorable situation is not limited to Mississippi. It affects residents of Massachusetts and Connecticut. Of New York and Maryland. Of Virginia and the Carolinas. Of Florida, Alabama, Louisiana and Texas.

We usually encourage voter turnout on an election day. But today we encourage the candidates themselves - those running for president as well as those hoping to fill Mississippi's seats in Congress - to dedicate themselves to helping solve this problem before other coastal communities, and even communities far inland, are as overwhelmed as our communities have been by an insurance industry exempt from anti-trust legislation and more interested in profits than people.

Just tell which bumper sticker to buy- PLEASE!

Clinton got two big states- Texas and Ohio. She also got Rhode Island. Obama got Vermont.

Recently: Obama got Wisconsin.

Mississippi is coming up soon, and living in Memphis, I have already seen an Obama ad on tv (a lot of those Mississippians hang out in Memphis to get away from their tortured life in their state).

The Obama ad wasn't negative, it was just a clip of one of his speeches, and then headlines about his policies. I wasn't impressed. Of course, I have already voted and I am just waiting for the rest of the country to get done voting so we can find out who the hell the nominee is!!! (Hey, I need to get my car covered in obnoxious bumper stickers, and I need to know who the REAL candidates are before doing that!)

Here is a link to election results and information:

And do you want Nader information?


Well, what if it was Nader on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart?

Well..... Screw you- here it is whether you want it or not:





Question: Is the election news more important than my current personal problem?

Current Personal Problem: Need to do laundry.

Answer: No.

Reasoning: Nothing has changed. Damn it.

Clinton on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart

Yet another TV Orgasm:







And hey- QUESTION: Is this more important than my Current Personal Problem?

Current Personal Problem: I don't feel good.

Answer: Yes.

Reasoning: A presidential candidate on The Daily Show... It's just plain fun :-)

By the way, I do plan to post results of today's primaries later tonight or tomorrow morning. And I will probably post the videos of Ralph Nader appearing on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart tonight!!!

Bastards

Blogger isn't letting me edit my last post. So the typo ( I wrote "me" instead of "my") will just have to fucking stay where it is.

Bastards.

Sincerely (most fucking definately),
-K8-

EDIT- OK, so immediately after publishing THIS post, suddenly Blogger has a change of heart and allows me to edit my posts again. Thank you for listening, Blogger. Obviously, this proves that the only effective way to get things accomplished and changed in this world is by cussing. Take notes, Obama.
-K8-

Finally, the cleavage!

Just found this and it fulfills my promise to utilize the 3 "C"s of success: Cussing, Cleavage, and Comedy.



Again- for Colbert fans, the 3 "C"s are: Church, Christ, and Colbert.
However, after watching last night's Colbert Report, I am tempted to change one of the "C"s to "Cure for Bears."



Sincerely (maybe),

Nader

Can you see me roling my eyes? Well, I am.

I just visited Nader's presidential site: http://www.votenader.org/

There is nothing on there about where he stands on the normal issues, though he does have the standard "Issues" section on his site's menu.

Thus- I have nothing to say about him right now... Other than "Why?"

I know that this country is great, and we open the presidential candidacy to all who qualify... And the best choice probably does not have a title like "Democrat" or "Republican," but... We have become a two party nation... We just have. It is a fact. Nader entering the race just confuses the hell out of the process, yet again.

That is just my opinion. I will be posting his views on the Iraq war and other crazy stuff that he says as I come across it.

By the way, Nader is 73. He will turn 74 on February 27th (in two days, send your brithday cards out TODAY!). He is older than McCain. This would make him 78 at the end of his presidency after one term, and if he were re-elected, he would be 82 at the end of that run...

Seriously?!?

So, the question is: Is Nader announcing his running for office more important than my Current Personal Problem?

Current Personal Problem: Bored at work.

Answer: No.

Reasoning: Nader.

I am going to go back to watching Stephen Colbert dancing on You Tube to Scissor Sisters' "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'". There ain't nothing better than this video:

"These are a few of my favorite things" - The Sound of Music

Oh yeah - another Julie Andrews movie gets referenced in my blog!

February 19th Results

According to http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/ Obama won Hawaii and Wisconsin and the non-binding primary in Washington. McCain won in Washington and Wisconsin.

So no surprises... Hillary is counting on Texas and Ohio... See http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5gHHVgKy54TfwGMngikUz9Bj7E52QD8UTUUC80

Question: Is this more important that my Current Personal Problem?

Current Personal Problem: Gotta pee.

Answer: No.

Reasoning: Physical needs come before primary results.

Goin' to the restroom now...

Where have I been?!?!?

Now I feel like a loser! I didn't even know Obama has spoken publicly about his little drug history... So, apparently, he is an occasional smoker, has smoked pot in the past, and used cocaine, also.

Well, isn't that sweet?

Here are some videos for you to enjoy:

On pot...



On cigarettes...
