Our ski trip

A short, no frills video of our ski trip in Colorado this year.

Joe the Turkey Executioner

Sarah Palin interview after pardoning a turkey. No further comment required.

The '80's

It was only a matter of time when my formative years were turned into a Broadway musical.

My type

I found this tool that analyzes the type of person you are based on your blog posts.  It reminds me of astrology and new age personality type surveys.  Anyway, I put my blog address in and got this answer:

The active and play-ful type. They are especially attuned to people and things around them and often full of energy, talking, joking and engaging in physical out-door activities. 

The Doers are happiest with action-filled work which craves their full attention and focus. They might be very impulsive and more keen on starting something new than following it through. They might have a problem with sitting still or remaining inactive for any period of time

Alex Astilean - SPEEDFIT - Treadmobil

This is the next revolution in fitness! I bought 2 of them and am planning to invest further! Wow!

I have a new respect for Bill Bennett after last night.  He was entirely gracious on CNN last night when discussing Barack's grandmother's death.  Thanks Bill.

The Economist Endorsement

Probably one of the more conservative magazines in the world, but they take a world view when it comes to the problems that need to be solved. Anyway here's smart commentary to their endorsement.

2012 Olympics

I follow Diamond because he keeps us up to date. For those that don't know, the 2012 Summer Olympics will be held in London. My wife and I will be there. That's our plan...

My head's about to explode

Between the incessant poll results and "Joe the Plumber" and "Tito the Builder" and new charges of anti-semitism and who knows what else I've missed, I just have to laugh and wonder where our country will be 4 years from now.  I get this sneaking feeling that 20% of America's population is going to ruin it for the rest of us.  This is an interview with a spokesman for John McCain. This is what's left of their campaign. This would make me ashamed of my country except I know others see through this stupidity as well.

T-5

Only 5 days before the US election and I've just donated another $50 to the Obama campaign.  So far, I have invested $250 in this campaign.

I hold no illusions that the McCain campaign could somehow pull this out in the last few days.  They are throwing up 5 to 10 attacks per day, trying to figure out what will stick.  They have some compelling arguments about Barack's past associations, however it's clear that most of these are based on fabrications or weak evidence.

It's clear that 20% of our population are Bush followers, another 20% cannot vote for Barack (for whatever reason), 10% are on the fence (independents), 10% have committed to Barack (as conservatives or indepedents), and 40% are firmly in Barack's camp.

It's the 10% on the fence that we're waiting to see how they'll vote.  Bottom line, Obama has to win a small percentage of their vote to win the presidency.  We'll see how this plays out.  Obviously the election is won state-by-state.
