A Few Things That Caught My Eye.

I heard Barack Obama make a speech today where he said that if he gets elected anyone who devoted their studies and careers to teaching would get their education paid for by the Government. I’m not sure where the money would come from but I like the idea.

All over the news last night about Cindy McCain submitting a second recipe to a magazine as her own that was directly from Hershey’s website, Bill Clinton’s was from Betty Crocker’s. Seriously, it was on the news. Who cares?

There are a number of stories of people that were staunch Hillary supporters that, because she lost, are now going to support McCain. How do you go from liberal thought to conservative thought for a reason like that and expect people to take you seriously?

Al Gore has come out and endorsed Barack Obama. Way to lay it all on the line their Captain Courageous.

Fox News had a story the other morning about an Obama speech that, they said, sounded like plagiarism. They went on to show Obama talking about how hard it was for someone to even afford the gas to drive around and look for a job. They then compared it to a speech by Mario Cuomo back in the eighties speaking of why the U.S. subsidizes foreign steel. Jon Stewart put both quotes side by side and highlighted the words that were the same. Turns out that the words, “of, “to” and “we” were the only words the two speeches had in common. And people say Fox News is biased, go figure.

Gay marriage is now legal in California. Wait and see how the religious right blames that fact for the next natural disaster that happens out there.
