This is a video of Ron Howard, Henry Winkler and Andy Griffith in support of Barack Obama

So, what does "Maverick" mean to you?

Picture is Samuel Agustus Maverick-the original Maverick

On the eve of the second presidential debate (GOOO OBAMA!) I came across a NY Times article on the origin of the word "maverick". I think its funny that the Maverick family thinks that McCain should find another word.

Yummy Sandwich and Observations

see Sarah Palin pictures

Howdy there! Thanks for stopping by. I just finished my lunch and it was gooood! I had Subway, double meat turkey on itallian herb and cheese, pepperjack cheese, spinach, jalapenos, avocado, onions, spicy mustard and chipoltle mayo. If you havent tried this combo I highly recommend it. Spinach is such a great alternative to iceburg lettuce. Iceburg is a nutritional zero while spinach is great for you and has a nice mild flavor.

Yeah I know, you are wondering where my rant is...

Well, today I have more of an observation than a rant. I was reading Yahoo at lunch (while munching on my yummy yummy sandwich) and came across this article

http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/20080910/pl_politico/13317;_ylt=AvEK79C9OF5sFTvTx0cN3ZBB5494

It talks about if Obama had chosen Hillary, if it would have lessened Palin's impact on the polls and women voters. It occurs to me that Palin was a choice made to attract women voters. She was chosen for her religion and her sex. She was NOT chosen because of her public service. She was tapped because of God and a uterus. Now, I don't know about you but I just don't think that's qualification for running a country.

I think it speaks to the shortsightedness of the McCain campaign. They picked someone who has the potential to get them elected. I wonder, you know, if hell freezes and McCain wins, what they will do with her after the election...

On the other hand, look at Joe Biden. Obama chose him because he has the experience to help run the country. By picking Biden, Obama is thinking about the job, not the election. It reminds me of a bride to be. Freaking out over the wedding, pouring over all the tiny details of the wedding ceremony and reception. She makes her loved ones crazy, trying to pick out the perfect bridesmaid dresses and agonizing over choosing fushia or raspberry for her special color. She works and cries and sweats to create the perfect day. The frenzy builds and builds until it becomes a whirlwind of insanity... and then its over. She is married. She worried so much about the wedding that she forgot all about the marriage.

Obama chose a partner to help with the truly monumental task ahead of the next president. McCain chose a partner who will get him to that "perfect day", but after...who is truly qualified to be in this job?

Interesting article and new stuff to etsy!

This is my latest journey into crazytown! I was chatting with a nice lady on etsy, www.quayandco.etsy.com when we started discussing new pincushions. She asked for ideas and the first thing out of my fingers was "severed foot!". She makes adorable pincushions but a severed foot was not her style. I asked her if she minded if I tried it and she said sure! Soo, here it is! Here is a link to the foot http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=14893312
I also made a disembodied brain pincushion and here is the link for it http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=14985483

My mind has been made up for over a year on my presidential pick
www.barackobama.com . I go a lot on first instinct with people, especially candidates for office. My first impression of W... I told my mother "That man is a criminal, you just don't know what he did yet." Her response was that he was a good Christian man.

If that's a good Christian I would hate to see a bad one! I didnt care for Clinton, Bill or Hillary. McCain is way too hot tempered and unpredictable-not to mention WAY to old for a first term president. Palin-all I can say is she is truly frightening. WWAAAYYY to extreme. I think the Republicans forget that the presidency is of the whole country, not just the right wing. I like Obama and Biden. Biden was my hubbys first choice for president. I get a solid vibe from Obama. He is not looking at the election but past it at the job to be done in trying to turn the country around. Biden is a strong statesman and vastly experienced in foreign policy and knows how to get things done in Congress. That says to me he will be able to work with Congress to improve the country.

Obama strikes me as that high school teacher who taught you so much, the one who really cared about the students and learning. You know the one Im talking about. He's the one who is in your memory for the rest of your life.

That's Obama to me.
