Time too brush up Sarah

So I caught some of Sarah Palin's interview and was a little surprised. The first thing is that like a politicians she was good at not answering questions that would compromise her earlier statements. She just turned those answers into "John McCain will do this or that" instead of actually answering. It also seems to me that she is not fully prepared to be able to handle the national press unless the situation is a controlled event. She seemed to stumble when the questions were out of her comfort zone. This does not bode well for her in the debate. I suspect the Dems will try to put a bunch of pressure on her and see if they can cause her to falter in the limelight.

On the other side she does come off as a personable candidate and that will win her votes not matter the outcome of the debate.

Stop the Bullshit

So instead of discussing the issues all we hear is crap about "pig lipstick".
This is not an issue and never will be.

The issues are: education, economics, war and peace, technology, health care, poverty, repairing our infrastructure, diplomacy, the emerging cold war.

You need to talk about the issues only. No more crap. This "pigstick' garbage falls right into McCain and the Republicans whole strategy. The less they have to actually talk about real issues the better off they are. The Dems better wake up and start pushing issues hard and fast. Start using all the millions of dollars for tv ads that point out the real issues and differences between the parties.

And why the F*** is there a Sarah Palin doll? Give me a fucking break.

Now we have Russia with two bombers visiting Uncle Hugo for some war games. Just what we need in our backyard.

And now Evo Morales, the President of Bolivia, wants our ambassador kicked out of the country because the Bolivian government suspects the U.S. is behind the demonstrations in the oil rich eastern parts of the country. Is he right, who knows. Our reputation for being on the wrong side of things in South America is well documented. We would do well to work with Morales and help his gov't out. This would weaken his ties with Chavez and gain us some respect amongst the average Bolivian citizen.

Just some thoughts.

Time for an upgrade

When I was home in Ct. for vacation I met with a professional photographer who shoots ads as his primary business. He like my style of work and thinks I should be able to get a show in NYC.

I am doing a portfolio to send to him and he is going to get it to a contact in NY and see what happens. To that end I need to get a better camera so I can get sharper and larger prints. I think I am going to get the Nikon D60 or D80. How ever since I have no money I have to start selling some things I have collected over the years. I am going to put things on Ebay and let the money sit there until I get enough to get what I need.

Heck I did this when I bought property off of Ebay, so why not a camera

Would

Would you be able to live in torment and pain.

Would you be able to live without love.

Would you be able to live without loving.

Would you be able to accept a hug.

Would you be able to cry for a lost soul.

Would you be able to know where to turn.

Would you be missed if you disappeared.

Waves

Waves of smoke waft around.
Thoughts pondered, nothing found.

Waves of emotion drift in the mind
thinking thoughts very unkind.

Waves of hands twirling in the air
seeking smiles from the traveling pair.

Waves of heat rising from the dust
clogging minds, penetrating rust.

Waves of water roll from their eyes
seeking solace from above the sky's.

Joel Sternfeld

I just picked up this great book, Stranger Passing, by Joel Sternfeld. Got it off of Ebay for 10.00.

This is a first edition coffee table book. It has some great pictures of everyday people. The thing about the pictures is they are not fancy yet they all make you wonder the what, where or why.

Sternfeld has many great pictures, worth checking out. You will be please.

I have been wrong

After all these years I just found out I was wrong. Sarah Palin just told me that God and patriotism are the exclusive property of the the Republican party. How silly of me to think that God and patriotism belonged to all AMERICANS. Now I have to switch and become a Republican.

Not really. Those parts of the speech were strong and did exactly what they were supposed to do. Brainwash the base.

The whole POW thing this week is a little much for me. The Dems need to push back on this before it gains some traction.

She did give a very good speech and this is exactly what the republicans were looking for. I would say that she brought home a winning speech for her team.

I expect the money will start rolling in big time. The Obama bump from his convention will be gone in a day or two. Now we get down to real race. The debates should be fun.

Barak and Biden need to ratchet up the rhetoric real quick. The Republicans hit hard tonight and we need to punch back, now.

Ouch

That's the sound Obama is making from the back stabbing from his alleged "fellow" democrat Trader Joe Lieberman. You are a little turd bag. Remember in 2006 the Dems in Ct. did not want you anymore so you ran as an independent and screwed the state. Now it comes out that Christian conservatives did not want you as VP and McMoron was ultimately forced to pick Palin so they could could make the hardcore conservatives happy and use Palin to raise millions of dollars.

Then during the speech he praises Palin. Hey Trader Joe you don't even know her.

Now McMoron can make Trader Joe his secretary of state if he wins and we will never have any peace in the middle east. You know that he will be a cabinet choice.

Joe, when Barak wins will you do us a favor and leave the democratic party. Please.

One more thing Joe, please stop kissing the president in public.
