Michelle

Would someone kindly explain to me why Cindy McCain is going to Georgia to assess civilian casualties. This is one of the strangest things I have ever heard.

I do not see how Michelle Obama could possibly have made a better speech than the one she just made tonight. It was terrific in every way, passionate and to the point, precisely what she needed to do. She will make a wonderful First Lady. If anyone says now they do not know the Obamas they are obviously not interested in doing so. She was doubly successful, given the fact that she had to follow the very emotional appearance of Ted Kennedy. Many women were in tears, and rightly so. Obama is a very lucky man.

The MSM is working as hard as they can to emphasize the so-called split in the Democratic Party between the unyielding pro-Hillary Democrats and the pro-Obama Democrats. I do not believe the pro-Hillary contingent is anywhere near as large or important as the MSM wants us to believe (probably to have something to talk about). Pat Buchanan is one of the worst offenders when it comes to this but, I suspect for an entirely different reason. Someone should tell Hillary, you lost, Obama won, let it go. Perhaps this will happen tomorrow and Wednesday. Supposedly all of this is being worked out, but some still worry about Bill Clinton who can be unpredictable.

The tribute to Ted Kennedy was moving and very much deserved. He has truly been a remarkable Senator for such a long time, and a great example of what a Democrat should be like. During my lifetime the Democratic Party has always stood on the side of labor as opposed to business, that difference has badly (and sadly) deteriorated over time. Perhaps Obama/Biden will be able to re-emphasize it once again and break the corporate stranglehold on our country.

If automobiles and trucks can be made to run on used grease from fast-food restaurants, perhaps they could be made to run on the millions, perhaps billions of pounds of fat all these people on TV claim to have lost. Don’t you sometimes wonder why these people who are so concerned to lose weight don’t worry more about putting it on in the first place.
