I’m happy for Barack Obama, but the blatant “Obamamania” in this country is a little concerning when it occurs in the media so openly. See the video of Chris Matthews saying his job is to support the president? Then read the quote from Theodore Roosevelt.
“Every man who parrots the cry of ’stand by the President’ without adding the proviso ’so far as he serves the Republic’ takes an attitude as essentially unmanly as that of any Stuart royalist who championed the doctrine that the King could do no wrong. No self-respecting and intelligent free man could take such an attitude.” - Theodore Roosevelt

I was looking over my web traffic stats for my blog this morning, and found the following posts seem to generate lots of discussion and traffic. I never thought they would.
Barack Obama, Cocaine Use and 60 Minutes - This post details why I think the news media never really covered the fact that Barack Obama admitted to snorting cocaine.
Obama/Palin Dancing with the Stars - This is a Photoshop mockery of Barack and Sarah Waltzing or doing the Tango or something.
Why you should vote - This was a collaborative blog post that a couple of other people agreed to write and post at the same time I did. See (Announcing my future candidacy, Chris Knudsen) and (Why you should vote, Connor Boyack).
Barack Obama is not black? - This is one of the most ridiculous claims I have ever heard, so I posted a video of the woman making the claim.
Hmmm… Maybe I should write more about politics.

These Proposition 8 videos are worth watching as they discuss the marriage issue which will be on the ballot in California next month, an issue that was already decided on by 61 percent of voters and then overturned by four activist judges.
