Obama Bowling: source "Texas on the Potomac"     (Source)
 
I am going to try to post this column every Wednesday and discuss ideas off the top (or bottom) of my cranium about all things political. Some of it will make sense, other things may be funny, but I hope that most of these will be enlightening.
 
  • Is it really important for John McCain to know the difference between the Packers and the Steelers? Favre is not coming back (or is he, I lose track) and the Steelers are from Pittsburgh, so who cares? I am a native of the ‘burgh’, only joking: Go Black and Gold!
 
  • Does the caricature of Michelle Obama (The New Yorker) look suspiciously like Angela Davis or is it just me? For those of you under 30, look the name up on Google.
 
  • Why is Dennis Kucinich still wasting our collective time? First, with his presidential campaign and now with this impeachment nonsense? Doesn’t he realize that President Bush will be out of office in exactly 188 days? If you figure in district work time for the House of Representatives, so they can win re-election, means the Democrats have a total of 32 working days (including today) to impeach the President. LOL!
 
  • Barack Obama addressed the NAACP convention to speak on the need of African-American men’s accountability to become better fathers. What groups should John McCain and Bob Barr give a similar message to? (McCain – AARP or The Vietnam Veterans of America) (Barr – ACLU or NRA)
 
On a lighter note, to settle this election I think we should have the first Presidential Olympics. There will be three events - one that each candidate would choose from - as well as a neutral third tie breaker. Obama will probably not choose bowling, we saw how well that went in Johnstown, PA., and so I say he will go with basketball. McCain will probably go with boxing; he knows the sport and has a temper so that should work out well for him.
 
The tie-breaker will be a game of Heads Up Texas Hold ‘EM Poker. Two men, a couple of beers, and some poker chips…sounds a lot more civilized than what we will have to endure over the next five months.
