Buy Me a Senate Seat, Uncle Teddy

So Caroline Kennedy wants to be the Senator for New York.  Uncle Teddy will buy it for her I am quite sure and democracy lives on.

Ms Kennedy wants to be appointed to office, she has stated that she would not run for office like ordinary people, let's face it, she is "royalty", right?  She has a birth right to be appointed, right?  We appoint leaders,right?  Does that really sound like a democracy?

If you think selling a senate seat only happens in Chicago, think again.  Call Governor Patterson and ask what he is getting in return for anointing Ms Kennedy to that seat.  Or wait until he runs for office and check out who gives him money for his campaign.

So here I am "STUCK IN THE MIDDLE WITH YOU".

Politics and Religion

Some people who worked to get Barack Obama elected are now upset with him about Rick Warren.  Why?  Apparently Mr. Warren equates gays marrying with pedophilia or animal marriage.

Mr. Obama wants Mr. Warren to give the the opening prayer at his swearing in ceremony.  Mr. Obama's answer to the objections are that we can disagree but not be disagreeable. 

Would Mr. Obama and his ardent supporters still the same if Mr. Warren spoke out against inter-racial marriage?

Would it surprise some of you to know that a short time ago, inter-racial marriage was illegal? Some thought that inter-racial marriage would equate to animal marrying.



I have no objection to inter-racial or gay marriage.
