Who the FUCK is Henry Paulsen sleeping with?

If Henry Paulsen was a woman and behaved in this kind of microcephalic manner, people would be asking who the fuck did she sleep with or something to that effect, but because he is a man no one dares asks this question. The idea that this bail out failure is a surprise is shockingly ridiculous, as clearly the public would urge their representatives to vote against this kind of measure. The first presidential debate however, indicates just how out of touch with reality the people running this country amok are. So, I ask who the FUCK are these people sleeping with?

Mourning

I am mourning this time for my friend, Les. Les was an amazing man, and I will always remember the way he cared for me when many others did not. He was very interested in how I was and what I was doing. He was also interested in the things that had happened to me and what was going on with those things. I suspect he was instrumental behind the scenes at getting some people to realize how they screwed up. I miss Les and I am having a harder day than I had expected. This is also my best friend's birthday though so it is a mixed bag.

Les and I were on the health ministry together at my former church and I always appreciated the way he participated in the meetings and in our lives. He will be missed by all who were blessed with his life.

The Republican Convention

I've been bored out of my mind with this convention. Here's some of my opinions however. I can appreciate Joe Lieberman's speech and really enjoyed the way he presented himself. I think he was very classy and supported McCain without putting down Obama or making himself look like an asshole. I can appreciate Rudy's point related to the sexism card, and how come no one asks Obama about having enough time to be President and a father...no one ever thinks about that, so I will give that point to Rudy. I can appreciate Palin's feelings about Obama and the media etc. However, I wish Sarah Palin had been given a better speech. I think that the speech they gave her lacked any substance at all, I never heard anything about any issues that were significant. One jab about Obama wanting to meet with Iran, well Reagan met with Iran too so let's get over ourselves.

Another thing that I have found lacking is anyone under the age of 35. It seems that these people are all quite a bit older than those that went to the Democratic convention, and whereas I am sure the base has been energized I was bored. I was never part of the base. I have always been a Libertarian Republican, and now I just vote Libertarian because I feel the Republican party is going in a direction that I don't want to go down. I think it is unreasonable to be touting this speech as a wonderful speech. Yes, it was well delivered, but there was very little quality to be worthy of extraction. I hope that McCain's speech tonight will lay out a plan to move ahead, because I feel a real hunger to understand what the party is thinking.

Until next time, I am still voting Libertarian it's the only way to take back this country.
