Taking a break from political things and having a good laugh before the debate, I share with you clips from one of my all-time favorite movies.
The Pirate Movie and all it's cheesiness.
(And yes, that is Kristi McNichol and Christopher Atkins.)
And finally....
If you haven't seen this movie yet and are in the mood for utter cheese, RENT IT! It's so bad it's good!
Enjoy and happy Friday all!

Getting Political
I'm a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight.....
* If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you're "exotic, different."
* Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, a quintessential American story.
* If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.
* Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you're a maverick.
* Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.
* Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you're well grounded.
* If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate's Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a sta te of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you don't have any real leadership experience.
* If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you're qualified to become the country's second highest ranking executive.
* If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a real Christian.
* If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you're a Christian.
* If you teach teach children about sexual predators, you are irresponsible and eroding the fiber of society.
* If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other option in sex education in your state's school system while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you're very responsible.
* If your wife is a Harvard graduate laywer who gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family's values don't represent America 's.
* If you're husband is nicknamed "First Dude", with at least one DWI conviction and no college education, who didn't register to vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that hates America, The Alaskan Independence Party, and advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.
Ok, much clearer now.
Just think about it please.

Education
READ THIS
And, please, please PLEASE take the time to educate yourself and not take everything the media and the candidates tell you at face value. It's your duty as an American citizen to arm yourself with all the knowledge that you can and THEN make an informed decision.
I don't care who you vote for, just please make sure you're doing it for the right reasons and not because of one issue or superficial reasons.
It's not hard and it won't take you long. It's all out there at your fingertips.
Thank you.
