politics as unusual?

Hello my friends, I have come here tonight to talk about the biggest story of this ddecade. Obviously, all of you know what I am refering to: the Yankees released Jason Giambi today! I find this to be shocking because, oh wait a minute, that's not it! Was there something important I was supposed to do today? Let's see: brushed teeth (check) went to internship (check) what did I do in between? I remember now: I placed my vote for Mr. Obama, who I can now happily report will be the 44th president of our great country.
Now, let me explain my problem today. No, make that problems. First, I waited in line to vote and when I finally arrived, I found out that the "accessible" machine was broken down. I was told that all polling workers had been fully trained (yeah right) and that it was just a problem with the hardware. My other problem is that I was extremely "paranoid" today.
Paranoia is a disturbed thought process characterized by excessive anxiety or fear, often to the point of irrationality and delusion (http://www.wikipedia.com).
My thought process was that Mr. Mccain might actually win this race, even though all signs pointed to an Obama victory. Furthermore, I didn't want Obama to Big Brown the race, sorry for the bad reference.
I was so relieved when at approximately 11 PM I (and a good friend of mine) heard on CNN that we had a new president, "that one." (My apologies again for the distasteful joke)
Good-bye Joe the Plummer, Ms. Gosh Darn it you bet ya, and hello change!
Now, here is the next step: Obama needs to actually walk the walk and bring real and concrete change to this country which is in the middle of economic strife and multiple wars which are depleting our resources and hurting us in multiple ways.
Change the world: let's make it more than just a mantra, let's make it reality!

Hi, please click on the link above to leave a comment. On another note, the 2008 election is really heating up. Of course, I am a big Obama fan, but last week's republican convention has really made alot of people start talking. I encourage all of you to vote in November this year. Personally, I am going to vote by myself on November 4th, I want to be independent! I will use the "so-called" accessible voting machine, and then we will see how "accessible" it really is. However, no matter who you choose to vote for, I believe that we will all be in agreement that it is great that change will be coming in January of 2009!

I apologize for the delay in posting new blog items. I have been getting ready for the new semester in school, and now it is time to keep this blog going! Take care, Dan
