In my Wikipedia browsing today, I found Ben Stiller’s new comedy, Tropic Thunder, with Tom Cruise in a fat suit and some 80 million dollar budget. I have never heard of this movie before today! This was the first time that I realized how much I will likely miss despite my best efforts to keep up with Brian and Matt on NBC. I really don’t know what to think about McCain choosing the 44 year old woman from Alaska as his running mate. The biggest question on my mind is if I would feel comfortable with her as president. So far, from all I’ve read and seen, the answer is no. First, we can fit all of the people that elected her as Alaska’s governor into Neyland Stadium. Second, she seems to have a pretty hard time getting along with people of contrasting views because she has a history of going on mass firing sprees upon her entering each new office. Third, she doesn’t like the environment, ie, is in favor of drilling Alaska and doesn’t believe in man-made global warming. Fourth, one of her resume bullets under “Experience” given by McCain, as if it is worth mentioning, is that she worked in the local PTA back in Wasilla. I personally don’t think that is enough to go on with McCain being the would be oldest guy to ever be elected and the average US male life expectancy at 75! Maybe by living over here I don’t get all of the facts clearly…
…but I did hear Obama say that he would get us off of foreign oil in 10 years! I think that is about as ambitious as Kennedy calling to go to the moon, but with much more oppostition!
