One of my weaknesses and should Barack Obama use a 30 minute ad space for many networks tonight?

I have a soft spot for babies and domestic pets. Yes, every now and then, you get a runt or vicious one through its DNA -- i.e. Dobermans. They don't know how to create weapons of mass destruction. They're not Conservatives, although Bruce the Brawlin' Cat with his persistent kills on insects might be an exception. Many just provide you with unconditional love. People I loathe the most are those who are harmful or neglectful to children and animals. This is why I can't watch "Animal Precinct" on Animal Planet. Here is an amazing account of a dog who sacrificed himself in a life or death situation:

The Conservative idealogy is an open book to me with its premise on one theme -- fear. So, Barack will speak tonight and more than likely, he'll hit it out of the park like he has done time and time again to this point. I can just predict how Conservatives will react before he even begins: "Oh, he thinks he's already won the election. Folks, he is ready to run a Socialist government. The financial mess we're in can all be attributed to the outrageous spending in Washington by Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid."

I saw a bumper sticker yesterday and just wanted to bash this car in with a sledgehammer. It read the following: Vote American. Vote McCain and Palin. I just posted a few entries ago what Keith Olbermann echoed about this you're pro-American or anti-American crap. I think this is the most unintelligible, backward-thinking mentality one can use for supporting two candidates over the other. I'll guarantee you these people can't engage in a debate over real issues.

The Obama ad tonight might be perceived as arrogant. Hey, I've got a show on, why the hell is he taking time away from my show? I'm just telling you now how the seemingly average goober out there thinks. Hopefully, people will come to their senses this time.

Let's be honest with ourselves. Don't be surprised for the first time in more than a century if people become hostile after the election. We live in a very divided country and must accept that. So, don't be surprised if nutcases begin coming out in droves.

On a much lighter note, I don't know why this song came to me today. It's off a great soundtrack, Tank Girl, and for some reason, it's my favorite off it. Here's the song for your listening pleasure:

I also can't stand to see animals abused, so never watch any programs that are likely to show such things.

I haven't watched Obama's 30-minute thing yet, but plan to check it out on YouTube in the next couple days.

You're probably right about a lot of nuts coming out of the woodowork after the election, but there was quite a bit of outrage after Bush was "elected" as well.

Here's to the next 100 months, my Southern friend.

I guess I'm Southern now. Hell. I've lived here for more than half my life. Love my friends here. Always will hate their backwards-looking view on social and political issues, but, that helps the creative side, right?

Obama's infomercial was very well done. There are some touching narratives you'll hear and as usual, Obama doesn't go over your head with what he'll do to tackle these enormous challenges. Excellent!

Election fraud is the sole reason I refer to them as 'Selected Officials' as opposed to 'Elected'. It's all scandalous and I hate it!

I can't STAND child or animal abuse. I swear, every time that damn ASPCA commercial comes on with Sarah McLachlan, I cry. Not tear up ... I literally boo-hoo! I've learned to turn the channel when it comes on. Though I may love her, I can't handle the tears!

Oh PJ, it's not so bad to be southern! Don't look at it negatively ... unless you've developed the banjo-speak. Then ... I'll have to disown you! :-P

Hope you two are well.
