More on the political front...
(from an email that's being passed around...)
I'm a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight.....
If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you're
'exotic, different.'
Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, a quintessential
American story.
If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.
Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you're a maverick.
Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.
Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating,
you're well grounded.
If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer,
become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review,
create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new
voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor,
spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with
over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate's
Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the
United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people
while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs,
Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees,
you don't have any real leadership experience.
If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city
council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000
people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000
people, then you're qualified to become the country's second
highest ranking executive.
If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while
raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches,
you're not a real Christian.
If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left
your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month,
you're a Christian.
If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education,
including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding
the fiber of society.
If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only,
with no other option in sex education in your state's school
system while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant,
you're very responsible.
If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a
position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment
of her inner-city community, then gave that up to raise a family,
your family's values don't represent America's.
If you're husband is nicknamed 'First Dude', with at least one
DWI conviction and no college education, who didn't register
to vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that
advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family
is extremely admirable.
...OK, much clearer now.

And finally, football season is approaching, and I just want to say one thing: The New England Patriots will win the Superbowl this year. The end.
