I Was Wrong

04.23.08 | Permalink | 4 Comments

Obama did not win, he lost by 10 points. This is exactly how it’s being reported, a “win” for Hillary. Congratulations Hillary, I hope it fills the hole in your soul. It’s not a win for the country, that’s for sure.

Sucker!

Meanwhile, I feel like a sucker for again, having some faith in the citizens of our country to be able to tell the difference between good/evil, right/wrong, better/worse, you get the picture. Shame on me, after the 2004 election it should be clear that the populace of this country is unable and unwilling to make decisions in our own best interest.

It’s said that a democracy gives a country the government and leaders it deserves. That’s where we’re headed folks, that’s where we’re headed…It’s very disappointing. The only redeeming factor is, and Obama was right to say this, any of the three candidates constitute an improvement over the current occupant of the Whitehouse.

DIY Solar Hot Water Heater

In the spirit of Earth Day, here’s a little project virtually anyone can attempt, if you’ve got any solar resource at all. Most homes spend around 30% of their energy budget heating water. Get 100 meters of black hose, a few connectors, and a place to site your heater and you’re in business with a cost effective solar hot water heater.

Segment 1: First Attempt


With the humor out of the way, here’s the rest of the story…

Segment 2: Success!


Hats off to Green Power Science who put these entertaining, yet cheesy, videos together.

No doubt there are serious issues to address on Earth Day. But a little humor never hurt and oh, by the way, just in case we’re worried about Earth? Don’t. This really should be “save the humans from themselves day.” Earth will be just fine long after we’re gone

Obama Will Win Pennsylvania

Map of Pennsylvania, Obama could win it April 22

The polls show he’s behind, he’s had the faux pas with his former pastor calling down hellfire on the US, he’s got that little “religion and guns” quote, Hillary is saying he’s not up to the challenge, Pennsylvania is not his demographic, and even Obama himself is not expecting a win – just hoping to keep it close.

That’s a bunch of negatives all coming together on the eve of a contested primary. How could anyone in their right mind predict an Obama win? Well, here it is, it’s simple, it’s clear, and it’s compelling:

Via NEDRA PICKLER and LIZ SIDOTI, Associated Press Writers:

Larry Perry, a 57-year-old Vietnam veteran from New Milford, pressed Obama on what he would do for troops returning from Iraq.

“You want my vote? Let’s hear it,” Perry said. Obama gave a quick outline of his proposals, including opening more Veterans Affairs clinics.

“He convinced me,” Perry said afterward. “I liked what he said. I’m tired of the Clintons. I’m tired of the Bushes.”

Could it be that simple? I think so. I believe that Hillary has shown her true colors during this race and that the people of Pennsylvania are going to end her candidacy. A bold prediction, particularly in light of all the negatives for Obama. But the sentiment of being sick and tired of the status quo and all associated with it, has legs. If I’m wrong, I’ll take my lumps Wednesday. Don’t be surprised if he pulls the upset, and remember, you heard it here first.
