Still waiting

No baby, lots of stories and pics to share about Ike damage, been a crazy couple of weeks. This political mess is consuming me right now, check out this great video T-Bone sent me:

Never Forget

I was sitting in the Bengals ticket office when Kevin walked in and told us that something had hit the twin towers, and they thought it was two planes. We proceeded to the lounge and watched as the horror unfolded.

Bon was teaching at Lebanon and had to manage the process of delivering this information to 8th graders...

I left work really early and met Bon back at the apartment in Landen. We stayed up the entire night watching coverage, and kept wondering, what is next? How has our world changed?

Mixed emotional bag today, Jum has a deployment ceremony today for his second tour. Would he be in the Army right now if this event doesn't occur?

Thank you to all who make this the most amazing country in the world.

Watching this video takes on a little more meaning after having an opportunity to visit the site in July.

New Pics

I finally downloaded a couple of months worth of pics from the camera last night.

McCain

OK, his speech didn't move me.

As fired up as I was about Sarah's speech, he brought me back to the same old, blah, blah, blah...

He is a hero, I get it, but some of the ideas he threw out last night still have me scratching my head. (I still have a big issue with his stance on immigration)

The comment about paying people the difference in what they used to make to what they make while getting new job training at a community college? Huh?

So if I get whacked at the Enquirer, decide to go to community college, and take a job at Walmart as a greeter, John McCain wants to pay me the difference!!! Hmmm, sounds like some kind of expanded welfare program.

No thanks John, I think most Americans have the capacity to pick themselves up and turn themselves around without sapping more money from the national debt.

(This is the clip)

I am in political "love"...

Bon and I had the pleasure of watching Sarah's speech last night together, wow.

(In this clip you will see her youngest daughter lick her hand and fix the babies hair, absolutely awesome)

She is not immersed in Washington crap, and spits truth, welcome to the new leader of the Republican party

In case you missed it...

4 Horsemen

Check out this pic from when Jum was home, one of my favorite of all time...

4 Day Weekend

As I wrap up a great 4 day weekend with my girls, I have had some time to really dive into the race again. Sarah Palin has me completely rejuvenated!

I have found my policy clone in Palin. As I continue to research, I can honestly tell you that I agree 100% with all of her stances on issues. I love how she has rebelled against other Republicans, and has truly lived out the McCain "maverick" matra.

While I am Republican by default, I disagree with most of the Democratic platform, I also do not believe in blindly following a party when they are wrong.

Bush's tax cuts were great, but tax cuts only work when you cut spending too! Revolutionary I know. Bill Richardson, the governor of New Mexico, and a Democrat, actually followed that formula and his state is thriving! My girl Sarah has done that as well in Alaska. She has fought big oil, turned money away from Congress when it made no sense, and has completely revitalized ethic reform in her state.

This is fair warning, you are going to see mass Palin love on Heat Stadium and in my day to day.

And while I disagree with all of Obama's policies, I must also give props when it is due. I had already planned to post his "I don't want them punished with a baby" piece when talking about his daughters and the possibility of teen pregnancy. Then I logged on to politico.com, which is a great non-partisan site for news on government matters., and found the following reaction from Obama when news of Sarah Palin's 17 year old daughter's pregnancy broke:

Politico's Carrie Budoff Brown reports: At a press avail in Monroe, Mich., Barack Obama on Palin: "Back off these kinds of stories."

"I have said before and I will repeat again: People's families are off limits," Obama said. "And people's children are especially off-limits. This shouldn't be part of our politics. It has no relevance to Gov. Palin's performance as a governor or her potential performance as a vice president. So I would strongly urge people to back off these kinds of stories. You know my mother had me when she was 18 and how a family deals with issues and teenage children, that shouldn’t be a topic of our politics."

Well done Barrack.

I just applauded two "lefties" in one post, what the heck is going on...
