  • Sticking it to the Dems.

    Keith doesn't just criticise the current administration and conservatives.  He sees wrong and he goes after it, regardless of the political party involved.  Here he is talking to Senator Clinton about the recent remarks made by Geraldine Ferraro of which I was unaware until I saw this. 

    I know most of you are republicans, but as a democrat I am terrified that if we can't get our act together and come up with a cohesive, united, sturdy party platform, Mr. McCain may be the best choice to run our country come November.  All of this petty internal party bickering, this threat of a brokered convention, this superdegate bullshit (saorry, but I call it when I see it), is distressing me, greatly.  It's making me sick and it's making me tired and it's making me look for an alternative.  This is why for a brief period before he dropped out I was thinking about changing to Richardson, why I seriously considered Edwards.  They represented the, as Edwards put it, "adult wing" of the democratic party.  And I don't care if he has a temper and is 500 years old, I'm going to be paying more attention to McCain and not just writing him off as the guy I'll be voting against.  It's frustrating, angering, sickening, and dispicable what is happening in what could have so easily become the most historic election in our nation's history.  A female president, a black president.  Now unfortunately, if either become president, they will already be tainted by this digusting display of immaturity. 

    Forget the racial and gender demographics.  How about voting trends among those who look for integrity, respectfulness, and honour in a candidate?

  • Classy man.

    The guy may be a lunatic, but Mike Huckabee just gave one hell of a concession speech.  I don't think he would have been a good president,  but I give him a hand for such an eloquent defeat.

  • Got off my fat butt and did something.

    I have been exercising all year so far in school.  I have been eating healthier than I ever have before.  I had not lost a pound until I cut my calories back to fairly dangerous levels.  I lost five pounds in one week on around 700 calories a day.  Then, as I was lying in bed one morning wondering why I didn't even have the energy to stand up, I realized.  I might have to eat more. 

    So now I am eating 1000-1200 calories a day and running around 2 miles.  Then yesterday for some reason, I just kept running.  I finally managed to run a mile without stopping.  First time in my life.  It was only a 12 minute mile (which I've allegedly heard one should be able to walk), but I was happy.  Then I went ahead and ran two more.  My goal is a 10 minute mile by the end of this year.  I haven't lost any weight in the past two weeks that I've been doing this.  But I guess eventually this will do something. 

    All I can say is, if I haven't lost 10 more lbs by summer, I'm quitting the dieting and just focusing on the exercise.
