My Response To 'State of the Union'

This is not the Republican response, this is not the independent response. This is just a common sense response. I have to be honest, I only watched about 15 minutes total of the speech because my wife had the power and was only turning to it during commercials of another program. Never the less, I don't think I could have watched any more that 15 minutes of it anyway because of my lack in intestinal fortitude.

I know some people love to hear President Obama talk, they love his articulation, his cadence. All his speeches sound the same to me. From the first day of his candidacy to now, they are all generalities and platitudes. I will give him this, what he is saying sounds great. Stuff like "jobs are priority number one", "We need to come together to solve these problems", and "I never said change would be easy, but we will get there." This is stuff that anyone would agree with, the feel good platitudes have got to stop. The problem is, when he does get specific, he ends up lying or not being able to deliver. Gitmo, health care, national deficit reduction, transparency, lobbyist, all of which he has either not hit the deadline or has flat out lied about. The bottom line for this speech, take a strong stance on something and follow through with it, please. Please, give me a politician on either side that will say what they believe without apologizing for it, then follow through when in power.

Do You Believe In Magic?

An amazing thing has happened in this country. Scott Brown has been elected by the people of Mass. I am excited and thrilled even though I don't live in Mass. Why is this so huge? This means that anything can happen now. This could mean a true conservative uprising is on the horizon. People are actually coming to their senses. They realized that campaign promises by a charming smooth talker is worth less than The View is to daytime television (thats pretty worthless). It proves that ever since Obama has been elected everything he touches turns to crap. I must admit, he was unstoppable during the campaign, he was golden, he could do no wrong......but now? Lets just say, if I were interviewing for a job the last person I would put as a reference right now is Barack Obama. If a Conservative can win in Mass., anything is possible.

Avatar Syndrome

Has anyone out there heard of this? Avatar Syndrome, what is it? I heard about this from a friend today. He said that Avatar is causing depression. How can that be? It is winning all kinds of awards, people seem to love it, how is it causing depression? Well, he explained, the world that Avatar creates is so amazing and graphically pleasing that people leave the theater and see the concrete jungle around them, in turn, causing them to realize how crappy and void of color their own lives are.
That sounds so interesting to me, a movie can have that strong of a hold on peoples senses that it can emotionally scare them....at least for a little bit. Please, anyone out there that has seen Avatar, has this happened to you? Did Avatar make you feel good and full of life at the end or did it leave you dissatisfied with your own life?

Greatest Invention of 2010, Hands Down

I know it early in the year and it is quite bold to make a statement like "greatest invention", but I have experienced something that has completely blown my mind. This invention deserves to be put on a pedistal, held high, award ladden, and enjoyed by all. I am talking about none other than the McDonald's Mac Snack Wrap!!! I don't care if you hate fast food, if you have never had a Big Mac, or if you are vegitarian. Go out and get one right now. Best $1.50 I have ever spent.
