So, for those of you who don’t know, I live in Arizona. So the Republican primary actually means something to me, other than the OMGHAYWORTH Tea Partiers. Somehow, JD became a ‘darling’ of the Tea Party. Honestly, I’m not sure how this happened, the dude is as anti-Tea Party as you can get without being President Obama. The amazing part of all of this, in the last debate, Hayworth called McCain a political shape-shifter. If that’s not the pot calling the kettle black, I don’t have a clue. There was once a great political cartoon that I can’t seem to find at the moment that compared politicians to the rest of us. When facts come around to dispute what you’re stance is, we change our direction. Politicians cannot do that, they have to stick to their guns no matter how ridiculous they start to sound, which by itself is ridiculous enough.
Great Scott, the Oil Has Stopped!
So the oil has stopped leaking, which is great news. Unfortunately, when it’s time to roll up some sleeves and focus on getting that junk cleaned up. President Obama is heading off to Maine instead of working with BP and local businesses to get things cleaned up. Sure, it’s not going to be clean by the time he gets back, regardless of when he goes, but at such a crucial time, we need a plan of action, not a ‘you guys figure it out, I’m going to Maine.’
Really Guys?
Ok, so I’ve never really been a big fan of the Tea Party movement, I think a lot of people are getting press that shouldn’t. It’s strange as most of my ideals tend to lean very libertarian which is what the Tea Party’s all about. Unfortunately, the reason the Tea Party gets a bad name is because stupid people like to run with stupid ideas, and then other stupid people join in and make the whole thing… well, stupid.

This is a new low guys, sure the jokes have been flying around the internet, and someone always Photoshop’s a Hitler mustache on Obama, but you don’t know history, do you?
BP is Paying for Cleanup Efforts.
So most people like to jump on the OMGBPNEEDSTOPAAAAYYYYY!! Bandwagon. Honestly, I don’t blame them. A company takes shortcuts that causes loss of life, properly, wellbeing and many other generally unpleasant things, should be held accountable. And don’t get me wrong, this is no means a defend BP post, I honestly despise what they’ve done, they’ve done more damage to American soil than the taliban could even dream of.
Shut Up Reverend
For those of you who don’t follow sports, you likely haven’t heard of the LeBronathon that’s been going on in regards to Basketball player LeBron James. Those of you who haven’t heard of Jesse Jackson, we’ll you’re a lucky sonuvabitch. Quick run-through for those not familiar with LeBronamania, basically, he’s widely hailed as one of the leagues best players at the moment and was a free agent during this off-season, meaning he can sign a contract with any time who’s willing to pay him the right amount of money. So he did, he decided he was going to leave Cleveland and sign with Miami, upsetting many in Cleveland in the process.
Reading too much into things?
So according to an article on CNN today, the DNC is planning on moving the primary season back for the 2012 primaries. Now, I might be looking to much into things, I have a tendency to do that, but what does it matter when your primaries are if you’re the party with the incumbent?
Last time I checked, unless the current president pulls a Lyndon Johnson and just comes right out and says they’re not seeking their parties nomination for re-election, the process is pretty open and shut.
Obama: Yeah, I’m sticking this out.
