I find it interesting that sometimes the people that care are the ones you least expect it from.

Puppies in Politics

Poll shows Obama should buy puppy

"Among pet-owners, McCain has clawed his way to a marginal advantage; 42 percent supporting the Republican, 37 percent the Democrat, according to the results of an AP-Yahoo News poll.."

I was thinking when I said that I wanted to discuss politics that it might be the economy, the environment... you know, something ... totally boring but important? LOL But turns out, it's more important for Obama to have a puppy. What makes me think his girls might have started this poll??? Sounds like something a certain 6 year old would do.....

Ducks causing major havoc.

Three-vehicle crash blamed on ducks

PALATINE, Ill. - Illinois State Police are blaming a small flock of ducks for a three-car accident that blocked a major highway near the Chicago suburb of Palatine.

Master Sergeant Rene Benavidez says the ducks walked onto Illinois Route 53 Friday afternoon, and a driver had to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting them.

After the sudden stop, the first vehicle was rear-ended by two others.

Benavidez says three people suffered minor injuries from the crash and one of them had to be extricated from a van by the Palatine Fire Department.

The whole highway was shut down for about 15 minutes and traffic was diverted onto Northwest Highway.

The ducks were not injured.

I just had to laugh at "The ducks were not injured." It reminded me of the "________ were not hurt in the making of this film."

I have to say...

The hits on this blog come from some very unusual parts. All different countries. It's very odd, since I really don't say much. I'm sure Google is responsible for it, but it's just amazing to see where the hits come from.

Anyway, thought I'd post a little on here since it's been a while. And, you know, we have this election thing going on. I have to say, I didn't post during the democratic primary...wait...oh, there was a republican primary too?... sorry, must have missed that. The reasons for not posting during the democratic primary was because I literally cannot discuss HC without losing my mind and didn't want to turn the blog into a shouting match - although I know Libby would have backed me up!

So, I thought since I would like to have an intelligent conversation on Barack vs. McCain, here would be a good place - WHERE I CAN DELETE THE PEOPLE THAT DON'T AGREE WITH ME! MUUUHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, sorry, I didn't mean that. Unless stuff gets belligerent that of course I'll delete! But I don't see that happening. Unless it's me. And then I'll have to add Libby as an administrator so she can delete me.

There are already a couple issues that I need to look into further regarding Barack/McCain. One, oil - and I am happy to hear that McCain has decided it's okay to do drilling offshore. I have to see what his other plans are for other forms of energy. I heard that 67% of Americans are FOR off shore drilling. And 18% are opposed. Proving once more that America's school system needs some work since we can't even add up to 100. LOL Then, of course, there's the war. But I really need to read more on that.

Please feel free to add issues in the comments, I can turn them into posts later!

Super delegates

Could someone explain to me why we need these people? I don't get it, and it's making me a bit crazy. Can't we just get rid of these people and have the popular vote rule? I do try to make things simple sometimes, but I just don't understand the need for them.


And is it just me or has someone decided that Florida will just not be able to vote in any presidential elections. LOL I hope they get their act together by November.
