There was an article on CNN talking about the difficulty that black women voters will have in the primary. Do they vote for race or gender?
Anyone who simply votes based on gender or race shouldn't be participating in the election process. If that is the only criteria you've considered, then you are a moron and I ask you to please stay home on election day. Try this on...look at where they stand on issues, find the candidate who you mostly agree with, and elect that person. You will not find a candidate who you agree with on everything...that's called being an individual. I don't agree with Huckabee's uber-religious stance, but I love that he supports the FairTax. I really like Romney's business savvy and think the economy could benefit greatly from his experience, but he just seems to be too much of the slick, polished politician, and that turns me off.
Notice I haven't said anything about them being white males...because that shouldn't matter. I am a white male, and there are things about Obama that I really like. It doesn't seem that he would be "in bed" with as many special interest groups, but he and I disagree on the privatization of social security. Again, no mention about him being a black male.
So, if all you know is that Hill-bag is a woman or Obama is black, then you are not educated well enough to vote and by doing so, you are slowly chipping away at the greatness of this country. They don't let the janitor vote for the board of directors of a large corporation because he doesn't know enough about what is going on. You, by voting purely on gender or race, are the janitor.

Packers loss - Depressing
It sure seemed that neither team wanted to win that game last night. Maybe neither team wanted to be out in that crappy weather. But, the Giants kept missing field goals and fumbling the ball at mid-field. The Packers, in turn, didn't recover any of those fumbles. Rather, they kept throwing interceptions to try and "even the playing field".
Favre looked like he was actually bothered by the supreme cold. He said after the Chicago game that the cold and wind was bothering him to the point of distraction. Seems like that happened again yesterday. He was missing open throws. Favre played great all year...depressing.
The defense didn't help either. Aside from Al "My head is in my ass" Harris getting burned by Plexi-glass all night long, the defense kept giving free first downs on penalties. I love the in-your-face style of defense they typically play, but the d-line kept jumping offsides and the secondary had more interference/illegal contact/hands to the face penalties that kept so many Giant drives alive. And they always seemed to come on 3rd down...KILLER.
So, now I don't care about the Super Bowl. I hate the Patriots because they are cheaters and Bill Beli-Cheat couldn't be more dull. The Giants just don't have a compelling story to bring me in.
Time to focus on the NFL Draft and College Basketball, I guess.

NO TICKETS
A man goes to the Minnesota Viking ticket office...inquiring about purchasing play-off tickets. The ticket teller replied that there weren't any tickets for sale because the "Vikings did not make it to the play-offs".
The following day the same man goes to the Minnesota Viking ticket office and inquires about purchasing Viking play-off tickets. The ticket teller politely replies that there weren't any tickets for sale because the "Vikings did not make it to the play-offs".
This goes on for an entire week! The man goes back to the Viking ticket office inquiring about play-off tickets and the teller says none are for sale because the "Vikings did not make it to the play-offs".
And yet another week of this goes by and the man still is asking the ticket teller about Viking play-off tickets.
Finally, ticket teller in a loud voice says, "I'VE TOLD YOU FOR THE LAST 2 WEEKS THERE WERE NOT ANY TICKETS AVAILABLE BECAUSE THE VIKINGS DID NOT MAKE THE PLAY-OFFS"!
The man replied, "I know! I drive all the way from Green Bay just to hear you say that"!

The Illegals Invasion
"A delegation of nine state legislators from Sonora traveled to Tucson to make the case against Arizona's new employer sanctions law,
The lawmakers say it will have a devastating affect on the Mexican state.
At a news conference Tuesday, they said Sonora cannot handle the demand for housing, jobs and schools it will face as illegal Mexican workers in Arizona return to their hometowns without jobs or money."
My thoughts, where do these Mexican officials get off?!?!? Mexico can't handle the demand for housing, jobs, and schools? This is what the Mexican invasion has been doing to the US for years now. In California, they need to build and staff a new school EVERYDAY of the year to keep up with the influx of the illegal immigrants.
If you have an extra 10 minutes available, check this out: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=n7WJeqxuOfQ
Do we have any say in the rules and regulations that govern Mexico? Do we always like the laws they pass? Probably not, but our opinion doesn't really matter. So why do they get a say in our laws? We passed a law, that was really just to enforce other laws there were already on the books, and now they have their panties in a wad. They are called ILLEGALS because they are here illegally. They did not come into this country through the legal channels, therefore they are not paying taxes on the money they earn here. Those taxes, by the way, would go to build the schools we need to keep up with the exploding population thanks to them.
I know people will say, "This is a country build by immigration". That is very true, but a country built by people who came here legally and assimilated to our society. My family is from Scotland, England, Wales and Germany. Go far enough back, and my family members were the new immigrants here...but again, they came through Ellis Island and registered with the government. They worked, paid taxes, and raised their families. No problem.
But, if you come to this country on a floating door and get a job that pays you under the table, you are a strain on our society. I cannot say it any clearer than that. You use the schools, public transportation, community hospitals, and other social services that taxes support. Since you don't pay taxes, you are stealing.

Welcome to Brain Spew
As I sit to watch the news or read things in the internet, sometimes my brain really starts to hurt because I simply cannot comprehend the decision and actions of people in this world. I think Denise is tired of hearing me complain about things, so I decided I needed a better forum for my brain explosions.
Therefore, welcome to my brain spew. Whenever I have either new pictures of the family or something that I simply cannot contain to myself, I will add them here...enjoy. Some of what I say, you may not agree with or may even offend you. Sorry, but these are my thoughts.
