POLITICS: If Mos Def were President

GOOD magazine presents... If Most Def were President



"High fives are at a all time high, I know they are."

What would you do if YOU were president?

POLITICS: A new kind of ad

Maybe, just maybe, politicians are listening to the American people. This is an example of a well-rounded political ad. It explains the candidate's policies, makes you think and doesn't make an attempt to bash the other candidate.

Americans are tired of the vague "he said she said" ads, while no one explains their own policies and what they would like to do for this country.



Get informed! Go vote!

POLITICS: Tina Fey making sense of Palin

I didn't originally want to post SNL clips of Sarah Palin, mainly because I was scared of the truth coming out of Sar...I mean Tina Fey's mouth. After the debate, not one media outlet outright criticized her performance. It was easier to find media outlets praising her "surprisingly good" performance than criticism.

As I watched the debate I noticed the constant "maverick" and the awkward blink to America. Yet when I went to read the papers, no one even made note of it. I guarantee you if Obama or McCain attempted multiple sexy winks to America, they would be eaten alive (or called a pedophile).

Anyway to the SNL part... SNL has been about the only place that has pointed out any of this. So far, SNL has done such a good job pointing out her flaws and shaky policy discussion, that I tend to agree with them more than CNN. 

So I leave you with how I saw the VP debate see video above (Note: They do a great job of Biden's, "I heart McCain"), and with this thought: Only vote McCain-Palin in if you want SNL to be funny again, or you want Tina Fey to be the largest celebrity in America.

POLITICS: What IF firefighters ran the world?

ATHENS

As I was watching the Bungals play football yesterday, I came across a commercial from Sprint. It has firefighters in Congress on their phones taking vote on various issues. 

The Budget: All in favor clean water?    I!... done

Streets? Need new streets?    I!... done

If only Washington ran this smooth. 

Maybe we should elect our local fire chief, send them to Washington with a direct connect phone and let them get things done. I've always wanted to be a politics columnist, but the fact that politics is nothing more than a mere game in Washington has scared me away from ambitions.

Associating yourself with the dirty 'P' word gives an image of being a sly, corrupt, old white man with money. I've always wondered what goes on in that white building because seldom do I see results. Even when something does get accomplished, it usually takes years because of the convoluted corn maze Washington has become.

So my vote this year goes to Dan Shroyer, Springdale fire chief. 

Vote for change! Shroyer 08! He's a firefighter, he'll get things done!
