Michael’s Two Cents

Here’s my very smart two year old (actually almost two and a half!) on November 4th before the final election results came in.

I finally got to watch Obama’s speech. I missed it election night because I was busy putting Katie to bed. I’m so happy he won… not because he’s a Democrat… because he is the best person for the job.
Personally I’ve given up on both the Democratic and Republican parties. Neither represents my beliefs or seemingly [...]

Ok it’s a little tasteless too but still pretty funny. In terms of compelling those voting yes to vote no, it fails terribly though. It basically laughs at those pro 8 and makes them look like arrogant asses, not exactly what you want to say if you’re trying to win their hearts, minds, and votes.

I found this interesting map on the Christian Science Monitor website this morning. They are using it to illustrate how the presidential race unfolds. I think the map is interesting because it places a general label on each county in America. In general I think labels are for boneheads but being a bonehead myself from [...]

Just kidding… but this video is really funny. Pretty much everything joked about in the video is true. The Canadian government makes it really easy for professionals to move to Canada. It is cold but not too bad in parts of British Columbia. I’m not sure right now is a good time to move though, [...]

This is too funny, and fairly illustrative of the problem. Haven’t you ever wondered why the government (local or federal) has anything to do with marriage. Isn’t marriage less of a political thing and more of a religious/personal belief thing anyway? I never understood why some people think government should have any say over things [...]

“America must commit to producing 100% of our electricity from cheap, clean renewable energy sources like solar and wind within 10 years.” - Al Gore
Remember this isn’t just government and corporations taking action… this is every one of us kicking our oil addiction. It won’t be easy but 10 years is doable if we each [...]

Actually I think they are partially right… the problems with the economy ARE a result of what is in some people’s heads.

Yesterday Pelosi mentioned in an interview with CBS that hearings may be held to impeach Bush and Cheney. This is a bit of a surprising change or tune. Here’s what Pelosi said:
“This is a Judiciary Committee matter, and I believe we will see some attention being paid to it by the Judiciary Committee… Not necessarily [...]

I’m not sure why it still amazes me that the strongest only help the weaker when it’s profitable. For example… if our country wasn’t spread so thin militarily and locked in so closely with the oil barrons and sheiks we could probably actually do something like stop the chaos and devastation in little places like [...]
