While "progressive" has become a bad work in politics, I'm looking to make progress as a human. Accepting my downfalls and working to correct them. Treating people with basic respect and dignity. Steering away from those who use fear to control the masses.

Sarah Palin has been accused of “going rogue” after criticizing McCain’s decisions to robocall voters and hault campaigning in Michigan. Is that going rogue? Because when I think of rogue, I usually think of something like…

- Jack Bauer torturing his boss for a better parking space

- A cop who turns in his gun and badge, but won’t quit til he catches Mendoza

- Taking your men behind enemy lines to find Nazi gold

- That one nose hair that keeps growing back despite repeated clipping

- That Pringles guy quitting his barbershop quartet to make potato chips

- Stealing the basketball from your own teammate to make a half court hook shot, with 10 minutes left in the quarter

- Joining Fight Club, then talking about Fight Club to anyone who will listen

- Going to Build-a-Bear workshop and making a “cat”

You know, I can kind of understand the need for a wardrobe overhaul.

With a Quarter Million dollar income on the Palin families last Income Tax return, I would not have expected this!  Oh what happened to you Mrs. Palin!?

Foo Fighters, Times Like These

My absolute favorite band of all time is Foo Fighters.  My absolute favorite FF song is “Times Like These.”

Yes.

Oogles of Struggles

How can you remain sane in a world that claims you are insane simply because you think?  I’ve struggled to get myself out of the cave and away from my fellow man to find my own self truth.  I wanted to find the answers for myself rather than accept them blindly.  As I left the cave I heard cries from my closest friends, calling for me to stay with them; stay where it was safe.

It was the hardest decision I ever had to make, but I left.  This journey I am on is not complete, I have not found the end of this cave and I’m not sure there is one.  I’ve come across a few other peoples and their fires, their beliefs and I stayed with them to learn more from them.

The longer this journey continues the more I realize that this cave is more a prison than it is a home.  This cave has imprisoned these people and locked them away in its far corners with its extreme ideas of life.

I’m wondering if I could ever return to my people, even if I knew the path would I go “home?”  Is there a better place for me out there?  I’m starting to have a difficult time distinguishing fake light from real light now as my mind begs for truth.

The longer this journey continues the more my mind wants to find truth, to be at rest.  But the long this journey continues the more I realize that truth will not bring peace or rest; not for me and not for my mind.

Final Presidential Debate

McCain looked every bit the spoiled brat he has been his entire life last night.  When McCain pressed Obama to tell “Joe the Plumber” what his fine would be for not insuring his employees, Obama looked into the camera and said, “Zero.”  McCain was clearly startled, “What?!?” says the 72-year old GOP Senator.


Do your homework Mr. McCain (if you won’t call Senator Obama, Senator, why should I call you Senator McCain?).  Senator Obama said in the last debate that small-busineses were exempt from that policy; or has Alzheimer’s already set in and you forgot who you were dealing with?

McCain refers to Pro-Choice as Pro-Abortion.

I’m going to start referring to Pro-Life as Pro-Rape for now on.
