Over the past several days, I’ve made some observations. It’s all over the media, word on the street, in your local hangouts, what do you hear? “Oil is too high, we can’t afford to eat because we’re paying so much for gas”….sound familiar?
I’ve been trying to cut back on my gas consumption. While waiting in line at the bank or a drive-thru, I simply turn off my car so I’m not needlessly wasting gas. Generally I would keep my car running. So funny how something simple can save you money.
Unfortunately, some people I have encountered throughout the past couple of weeks, have a different idea. While having a yard sale at my home I counted at least 5 people who came to browse, and believe it or not, left their cars running with air going full blast. And these weren’t 5 minute stops might I add. Each one stayed for 15 minutes or longer, trying to make a bargain. And to top it off today I go to the local Lowes. The minute I stepped out of my car I heard the car next to me running, and there was no one in it…no one, but something…they had left their dog in the car while they went shopping. I assume to keep the doggie nice and comfy, they decided to leave the car running. Okay, not only were they wasting gas, they were totally a car thieves dream.
What is wrong with people. They sit around and complain about President Bush, and how it’s all his fault gas is so high. BLAH, BLAH, BLAH….Quit running your cars and quit running your mouths! All this chin music is driving me crazy!!!! Did you know the Cubans are drilling for oil 70 miles off the coast of Florida….Florida, that’s right. Since when are the Cubans smarter than we are? Oh that’s right, the Democrats have house majority and have been fighting against drilling in the Gulf of Mexico because it might endanger some fish. Oh and by the way, we can’t drill in ANWR, because we need to preserve nature. And those same people turn around and complain about this war and how we need to be energy independent. HMMMMM….now does that make sense?

While getting my daily fix from Rush Limbaugh, I noticed some strange rhetoric coming out of his mouth. Was I hearing this right? A plea from Rush Limbaugh to the Superdelegates of the Democratic party to elect Hillary Clinton as their Presidential nominee? WOW…I never thought I’d hear that coming from him!
I have to agree with Old And In The Way on this one, I’m not a Clinton fan, but Bill’s right. After hearing Bill Clinton on a local talk radio station on the morn of Tuesday’s Kentucky primary, I was stunned to hear him say the Republicans have this one right. (In reference to the delegate nomination process) Hillary said it best in her telephone interview, “If the Democrats had the same process as Republicans, I’d already be the nominee.” You see, since the Superdelegates have penalized Florida and Michigan for moving up their primaries ahead of Super Tuesday, their votes didn’t count. How ridiculous is that? Mrs. Clinton, having won the popular vote, counting these states, is mad as hell…and I don’t believe she’s gonna take it anymore!
See this great information on the Democratic Superdelegate system

Waiting in the hot sun on Sunday, May 18, 2008, paid off. Although the press box was not as full as it had been for former President Bill Clinton’s visit 2 days before, excitement was brewing none the less. Armed with media credentials and my canon powershot, I waited to capture that perfect shot. “She’s landed at Barkley!” was the word around 3:30 pm. Noticing the suprise on faces because she was thought to be escorted on the 2 1/2 hour interstate trip by car.
Woop Woop came the siren as the motorcade arrived on time. “Here she is!” was the word. I quickly made my way to the press platform along with the other media present. As Mrs. Clinton made her way to the stage, the crowd roared. A much larger crowd had gathered to hear her speak, than was present to hear her husband that Friday. Stunned to see how lovely the infamous Hillary was, I immediately began clicking my camera, as quickly as I could! How amazing to eye witness history in the making. This was no ordinary political candidate. This was Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, just a couple of months away from making history as the Democratic nominee for the position of President of the United States of America. WOW!
Charismatic she was, intriguing, but not convincing. I’ve never been a true Clinton fan, but was quite impressed with Mr. Clinton’s speech and presence. She on the other hand, left some things to be questioned. Speaking about not sending any more jobs overseas, quite hypocritical considering her husband signed NAFTA into law as President in the 1990’s. Also promising to open our oil reserves to lower gas costs….hmm….if I remember correctly, her party takes a strong stance against drilling in Anwar, Alaska because of the environmental hazards. Also, a promise with gumption, that money will be loaned from the federal government to grant student loans. Great idea, but how will this be funded? If I had to make an educated guess, it might be higher taxes?!?!
I could go on and on about these issues, but will stop at this. I’m sure I will be inspired to write more as the day goes on, along with my mind! Also disgusted at the fact that Mrs. Clinton refused to give me an autograph while looking me right in the eye, I cannot be too positive on this post. I guess I just have Republican written on my forehead! Oh well, easy come, easy go. Good luck Mrs. Clinton. Although I do have a sour taste in my mouth, I wish you luck in this election. Let’s beat Obama in the primary and lose to McCain in November!
