It's Friday! So lets take it easy..

Alright, so today I thought I'd take a break from the more hard hitting posts and being that I'm in such a good mood i'll limit my political discussion to just a few small points.

• Joe "the plumber" is perhaps the best thing to happen in this election season since it began.
• Real people rarely if ever get onto the political stage, and whenever they do they are picked apart by all the people who try so hard to convince the masses that they are regular people just like "you!"
• The current debate format doesn't really reveal much about either the candidates or the issues, either the questions need to be tougher, or the moderators need to be tougher.. probably BOTH.
• I'll be really glad when the election is over. FINI.

Wacko Left-Wing Environmentalism:



Honestly, this video illustrates a point that I will probably be making sometime in the future about the lack of thought that most people give to things that purport to "save the Earth." Al Gore buys carbon credits from his own company so that he can use his big jet to fly all over the world and tell people that they are hurting the environment and that if they want to continue the same standard of living they need to buy credits from him. Oil man T. Boone Pickens, is now advocating huge, wasteful, "green" energy plans, just as he invested millions of dollars into those same companies in an effort to ride the trend. In any event, the herd mentality is clearly on display, and I once again reiterate that on all things, DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH!



George Carlin never failed to get me to laugh. I didn't necissarily agree with him on a lot of issues politically but this particular bit has stuck with me over the years. The man for all his faults was a comedy genius and he will be missed.

Showmanship and Class:



This one is a purely fun video that shows one of my favorite renditions of one of my favorite songs. Tony is the definition of a class act, and I love live performances. The video quality is a bit off, but the music definitly makes it worth it. Oh yeah, Diana Krall did well too.. =P

Random Thoughts:
You know and I know,
Friends come and friends go..
Storms rise and winds blow,
But one thing I know for sure..

When it's cold outside,
There's no need to worry cuz,
I'm so warm inside..
You give me peace,
When the storm's outside,
Cuz we're in love I know,
It'll be alright,
Alright it's alright..
