Get that voice out of my head!

Have any of you ever heard of an ear worm? In case you don't know, an ear worm is when you hear a song or a voice or sound and you can't get it out of your head. To some people, it is a dentist's drill. To others it is the Macarena. To me, it is O-bum-a. Everywhere I listen, talk radio, oldies music stations, the baseball playoffs - EVERYWHERE, I hear "This is Barrack O-bum-a and I approve this message." I have two words in reply, "SHUT UP!" I guess you could throw in an obscenity but that's not my style.

O-bum-a is everywhere. He's on the professional wrestling website that's one of my favorites (yes, I know it's fake but so is a soap opera), he's on an exercise website I was browsing, he was even on a website my kids were at. I have gotten to the point that I need less than a second to know it's another commercial and I change the channel but the voice is there. Hopefully he will be like a pet rock. A fad that fades as fast as it came.

I'm not watching the debate tonight

As everyone who knows me knows, I am a conservative. Tonight is the third debate for President. I intensely dislike Barrack O-bum-a and have no use for Senor McCain. But since I like Sarah Palin's style, I am going to hold my nose and vote for McCain. The question for tonight is if Senor McCain is going to show up. O-bum-a has set up so many things that Senor should be blasting out of the park, but since Senor wants to run an "honorable" campaign, he hasn't even hit a foul ball. Hell, a blindfolded kid would make more contact with a pinata that McCain has.

"Snap out of it! Since you don't have anyone around you who will give you the "straight talk" I will. You're losing. Up to now, you haven't even been in the game. You have been so boring, I didn't even watch the second debate. And you performed down to my expectations. You have an opponent that is a bold faced liar and your response has been "He's an honorable man."

Look, you showed you had some 'nads last week. For a day. Then it seemed that someone told you that the moderates didn't like that. Then you became Senor Oatmeal again. Newsflash - the moderates don't like you. The only reason they pretended to like you was that you didn't like George Bush. Now guess what - you're George Bush 44. Do you feel like an idiot? You should.

What should you do? Be like Bill Murray in Caddyshack. Walk up to the flowers and swing for the fences. Bill Ayers? Fore! Rev. Wright? Fore! ACORN? Fore! Franklin Raines? Fore! Not knowing that there are 50 states in the United States? My 8 year old daughter know that there are 50 states in the US. Fore! Redistribution of wealth? Fore! Gun ownership? Fore! The life of the unborn? Fore!

QUIT BEING SENOR OATMEAL! SHOW THEM THE ANGER YOU'RE KNOWN FOR. GO FOR THE JUGULAR! NOTHING CAN BE LEFT ON THE TABLE. If you don't, all of the goodwill Sarah Palin creates for you, will be wasted.

I guess if you can't do this, you can have the same political career as Walter Mondale, George McGovern, John Edwards, Bob Dole...

What does regulation have to do with anything?

I keep hearing about how more regulations would have stopped the financial crisis that is happening now. I call BS on this. The crisis was created by CEOs who intentionally broke the laws. Just because you have more rules, if someone doesn't want to follow them, they won't. It is against the law to drive if you're impared. I someone decides to do it anyway, they will. You just hope no one gets hurt. You can't legislate people doing the right thing. However, you must punish the ones who do the wrong thing.

PS - Why hasn't Franklin Raines been frog marched for his razing of Fannie Mae?
