The Desperate Parody

Maybe you were in a coma this week if you missed all the hoople regarding ABC and their Monday night football promo that caught so much flack from Ann Coulter and her girl's group. Maybe you still haven't heard about it, or haven't tuned in to hear Pat Buchanan and his panel discuss in detail how outraged they were that a hot white woman might jump into the arms of a wealthy young athlete. Yeah, what was ABC thinking going down that line of complete fiction? I think that Americans have simply lost their sense of humor. Three years of being told to be afraid, to lose your trust, to duct tape your windows... I guess that you could lose your sense of humor. Three years of yellow alert with an occasion orange thrown in (gotta love those citrus colors) can put a person on the edge. Either way, this is how I feel about it. Lighten up! It was a parody, and a womans back. If you feel the need to shelter your kids from this, then wrap them up in duct tape and go hide in your bomb shelter. Be sure to tune in to FOX News while you're down there, and see you in 2008, when America wins again.

The Aftermath and Agony

It only took a few days for democrats to start pointing the finger. You all know what I'm talking about. John Kerry didn't run an effective campaign, Democrats hate the church, or the church hates us, blah blah blah....
Look, this is a problem with the democratic party. Instead of gathering up what we've learned from this election (and the last election) we just blame each other and refuse to make progress. We need to unify and get organized. Young people didn't vote in this election, and we know that if they had, they would have voted overwhelmingly democratic. We need a strong person in charge of the DNC, someone who is energetic, who will use modern methods to mobilize people, and who people respect and admire. Howard Dean has let it be known that he wants the job, but I don't know if he's the person to put in charge. As a governor, his agenda wasn't the most progressive when it came to social aid and the financial sector. Yet, he's staunchly anti-war and well known by people. Not to mention how he effectively used blogs and the web to launch his own campaign for presidency. I'm not sure who the right person for DNC chair is, maybe we should go with the man who we trust in completely for everything else, you know, Bill Clinton.
Well, that's what I've been thinking about today. And probably what I'll be thinking about tomorrow.

Thank you Mr. Kerry

It's a sad day for me and the rest of my democratic compatriots. And it's a sad day for John Kerry. I watched the election results come in with wariness and hope last night, and awoke this morning to indecision. When the Senator conceded at about 8:00 our time, I was sad to hear the news. I admire and respect John Kerry and wish him luck in the future. In the meantime, I plan on spending the next four years paying careful attention to what our President is up to in Washington. I will write letters to his office and to my congressmen and senators everytime I think they take a wrong step. I will continue to call for the end of the war in Iraq, and for aid for the Sudan. We have a responsibility that is greater than ever to make our country what it should be and I hope that every citizen who believes in a better America takes action daily. This was an election and not the end of the world. At the end of the day, as individuals little has changed. Yet, there is still a need for change and individually we can make things happen.
Thank you Mr. Kerry for the hope you gave us, I'm glad you're still a Senator and that your voice will still be heard in American politics.
