Words From a Supporter

Sometimes writing just doesn’t convey the expression that one is trying to get across.  When one can get one’s point across by writing, it is often more writing than one cares to read.  That is why God created YouTube. 

The audio isn’t very well and some parts were bleeped because of concerns the supporter’s boss might find out.  The place was loud because the people just found out that the restaurant just replaced the fine coffee they usually served with Folger’s coffee.

I will be posting more event videos as well as a speech or two (providing I can find someone to hold the video camera while I am giving a speech.)

Shopping Woes

Unlike the other presidential candidates, I have been in a supermarket in my lifetime.  I have been doing my own shopping so I know the horrors of sticker shock first hand.   I have developed carpal tunnel syndrome from clipping so many coupons in an attempt to get everything I want to get in the supermarket.

The excuses for the constant increases in coffee prices are as lame as the excuses for the constant increases in gas prices.  Too much rain in Columbia, not enough rain in Kenya, too cold in Greenland.  I have heard all of the excuses for spikes in coffee prices and frankly, I am sick of them.

While there are a ton of excuses for the spikes in coffee prices, I haven’t heard any for the spikes in the prices for pastas.  We don’t get our pasta from Columbia or Kenya, so weather isn’t a factor.  it has long since been discovered that spaghetti doesn’t grow on trees.  The price of pasta has doubled over the last four years and I demand to know why!  It seems the stuff I buy the most of has risen more than stuff I avoid like the Plague.

I don’t have all of the answers to the food prices, but I do have one answer that will lower prices for some foods.  We need to stop paying farmers not to grow food.  The more food, the cheaper.  We also have to quit exporting food only to import some of the same food at a higher price.

You can vote for a candidate who can’t tell the difference between a shopping cart and a dolly or you can vote for someone who has walked in your shoes.  I have walked in your shoes and will return them by the end of the week.

The People Have Spoken

I had a poll posted yesterday asking whether I should boycott the Super Bowl or if I should watch the Super Bowl and write down the movies sponsoring the Super Bowl and boycotting those movies.  75% of you chose the latter.

I will watch the Super Bowl tonight.  Tomorrow morning, as soon as the coffee kicks in, I will post the movies to boycott.  I didn’t write down the movies last year, but I remembered some of the movies advertised then were not scheduled until Memorial Day Weekend.  The Cinemafia’s own Motion Picture Association of America did not get a chance to rate the film.  (Hence; all of those “This movie has not yet been rated” disclaimers.)

Sit back and enjoy the game tonight.  If there is anything else you feel needs to be boycotted, please let me know and I will include them in tomorrow’s blog entry.

A Look at my Platform – Laws

Over the next couple weeks, I will take issues from my platform and further explain my positions. Today, I will discuss my views on laws.

I would repeal all laws that protect stupid people. Lord knows they’re not an endangered species.

There are many, many laws on the books here in the land we call, “The home of the Brave.”  I do not think we need every law that is currently in the books.  Some laws are detrimental to society at large.  I would say laws that protect the stupid fall under this category.

Once upon a time, there was this concept called, “Survival of the Fittest.”  The concept states that the strong survive and the weak do not.  There isn’t an election to see who gets to live between a cat and a mouse.  The cat wins and the mouse loses.  This is natural.  What is not natural is writing a law protecting the mouse.  Cats do their own thing – ask any cat owner.

The first law I would abolish is the infamous “Caution: Contents May Be Hot” that has to be imprinted on coffee cups at fast food restaurants.  If a person cannot figure out that coffee is hot, let them find out the hard way like I did.

Stupid people are not an endangered species.  It’s one thing to protect the Bald Eagle.  There are few bald eagles and they need to be protected from extinction.  Stupid people, on the other hand, are a dime-a-dozen.  Keeping stupid around and protecting them does nothing but taint the gene pool.  Stupid people shouldn’t be allowed to breed.  (That is a discussion for another day.)

I will only sign laws that protect everybody and not just those who don’t get it.
