Thoughts on the 2008 Election (Part Two: McCain)

Politics – There was not a single other Republican candidate that was even worth a second look. Period. I was grossly disappointed with the field, except for McCain. I like McCain.

Thoughts on the 2008 Election (Part One: Obama)

Politics – As I watched the Democratic candidates debate last summer, two candidates did not lose my vote. The first was Joe Biden, who subsequently lost everyone else's vote. The other was Obama.

Videos for the Weekend of the 4th

Music – First, I would like to share this video of Leonard Cohen singing "Suzanne." I love this song, in particular the second stanza: And Jesus was a sailor When he walked upon the water And he spent a long time watching From his lonely wooden tower And when he knew for certain Only drowning men could see him

Somber Video

Movies – This video was shot and edited on June 18, 2008. The weather matched my mood and the rain on the window was especially hypnotizing. I needed contrast. This video captures the mood I was in that day.

Slip Sliding Away; How Obama Is Dangerously Close to Losing My Vote

Politics – In a race where ageism is a greater factor than racism, you are using your race as a political weapon, which it should never be. That saddens me, considering how you had such a great speech on race a few months ago, but perhaps the critics were right when they pointed out your racist statements about "typical" white people. All I ask,
