Change We Can Believe In.

First of all, has anyone ever seen such a train wreck of a speech like the one John McCain gave? I mean holy cow, he was beyond fake, the crowd was beyond fake, and it was a terrible speech, it was full of “I’m Not George” but full of the same BS George has spewed for over 7 years. I for one am sick of “Fear” being used as a tool.

Hillary’s speech I think will back fire her and hurt her political career.

Obama’s speech was simply amazing… again… and again… and again.

His message of “Hope” far outweighs anything McCain can deliver, Mac is a true American hero and I will always respect him for that, but he is not the same man who should have won the GOP in 2000 and IMHO, I think he sold out which I will not forgive and cannot and will not support.

Obama will be the next POTUS, and for the first time in my life I see actual CHANGE coming, DC has become too corrupt to work and it needs to be tore down and built anew.

“We hold these truths to be sacred & undeniable; that all men are created equal & independent, that from that equal creation they derive rights inherent & inalienable, among which are the preservation of life, & liberty, & the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these ends, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government shall become destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, & to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles & organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety & happiness” – Thomas Jefferson

How Do I Feel?: hopeful

Lost a Great One…….Harvey Korman

Comic actor Harvey Korman dies at 81

 Brooks tapped Korman’s kinetic comic chops often, including roles in “High Anxiety,” “The History of the World Part I” and “Dracula: Dead and Loving It.”

“I gave him tongue twisters because I knew he was the only one who could wrap his mouth around them,” Brooks said. “Harvey was such a good solid actor that he could have done Shakespearean drama just as well and easily as he did comedy.”

Brooks described Korman as a “dazzling” comic talent.

“You could get rock-solid comedy out of him. He could lift the material. He always made it real, always made it work, always believed in characters he was doing,” he said.

Korman’s other films included two “Pink Panther” moves, “Trail of the Pink Panther” in 1982 and “Curse of the Pink Panther” in 1983; “Gypsy,” “Huckleberry Finn” (as the King), “Herbie Goes Bananas” and “Bud and Lou” (as legendary straight man Bud Abbott to Buddy Hackett’s Lou Costello).

In television, Korman guest-starred in dozens of series including “The Donna Reed Show,” “Dr. Kildare,” “Perry Mason,” “The Wild Wild West,” “The Muppet Show,” “The Love Boat” and “Burke’s Law.”

Korman and “Carol Burnett” co-star Tim Conway continued working together into their 70s, touring the country with their show “Tim Conway and Harvey Korman: Together Again.” They did 120 shows a year, sometimes as many as six or eight in a weekend.

**Man, I loved watching him.  Especially when he would be doing such a funny bit and you could see that he just wanted to lose it….he did that a lot with Tim Conway.  I grew up watching him on the Carol Burnett Show and I throughly enjoyed him in Blazing Saddles and High Anxiety.  He will be greatly missed.

Spent the last two days just getting work done, as of 2 hours ago I was caught up…..for now, never lasts…..lol.  But it game me time to balance our checkbooks and work on getting my messages done.  We are taking off for a few days this weekend to celebrate our 11th wedding anniversary, so I won’t be around to do any of that….of course.  We are going to visit the coast, we are about 2hrs from it.  We are looking forward to it, mainly because it is a part of Oregon we have yet to explore.  =)

Broke down and had to have a Dr Pepper, I’ve only been allowing myself 1 soda on the weekend and still staying within calories.  My trainer says to treat myself on the weekends and  try to avoid a lot of sugars.  But I got such a craving….I tried having other things but there was no way, I just had to have one….I’d probably beat someone for one it was so bad…..lol  But the good news is that I still stayed within calories and that was also with taking care of a tombstone pizza craving that I’ve been having for a couple of weeks.

My trainer says that even though I gave in, I still controlled it by making sure I stayed within calories.  =)   Then he worked my butt off today.  Which was good, because I was in a very irritable mood today when I woke up and that work out helped.  If I was just doing my own thing today it would not have been enough.

 Multiracial Americans surge in number, voice

At the same time that the nation’s growing diversity and changing social attitudes are helping to swell the ranks of multiracial Americans at 10 times the rate of the white population, the presidential candidacy of Barack Obama, son of a black man and a white woman, has brought new attention, curiosity and discussion to their experiences.

**This is just sad if true and knowing how much more we need to go on race relations, it probably is true.
