I can’t wait for it to be over.

I’m not sure if this is bullshit or not, but I found it very interesting. It’s an e-mail from a business owner who is planning for a future with Barack Obama as president.
Dear Fellow Business Owners:
As a Business owner who employs 30 people, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barack Obama will be our next President and that my taxes and fees, will go up in a BIG way. To compensate for these increases, I figure, that the Customer will have to see an increase in my fees to them of about8%. I will also have to lay off 6 of my employees. This really bothered me as I believe we are family here and didn’t know how to choose who will have to go. So this is what I did. I strolled thru the parking lot and found 8 Obama bumper stickers on my employees cars. I have decided these folks will be the first to be laid off. I can’t think of another fair way to approach this problem. If you have a better idea, let me know. I am sending this letter to all Business owners that I know.
I checked Snopes.com and I couldn’t find anything on it, but you never know.
This is kinda funny:
Here’s a secret… I subscribe to MoveOn.org’s newsletter so I can see what kind of garbage they are spewing. I received this today.
Dear MoveOn member,
Obama’s now ahead in most polls. That’s great, but there’s just one problem: the polls could be wrong.This is an unprecedented election. No one knows how racism may affect what voters tell pollsters (emphasis mine)—or what they’ll do in the privacy of the voting booth (emphasis mine). And there are plenty of other unknowns.
We can’t afford to take any chances with the most important election of our lifetimes. Whatever the polls say, we all need to get out, talk to voters, and make sure every single Obama supporter makes it to the polls.
The Obama campaign in West Bend needs more volunteers this week for a big voter-outreach effort. Click here to sign up:
Polls can’t always be trusted, for many reasons. Remember what happened in the New Hampshire primary? Obama was ahead in all the polls—but Hillary Clinton carried the state on election night.
So we can’t afford to get complacent. We don’t know whether polls will translate into votes on Election Day, but we know that our actions can.
Countless studies have shown that the most effective way to ensure that someone makes it out to vote is to reach out and talk to him or her in person. And the Obama campaign has asked us to help out in doing that—can you join in?
Thanks for all you do.

Hilarious! From The Onion:
I put this together for you, today, Claude. Enjoy.
From Iowahawk:
…or at least that’s what he wants you to believe.
The coolest part about Barack Obama’s new two-minute television commercial is that I can get up, run to the bathroom, change laundry loads, and get a beer before he gets through explaining how he’s going to spend all of our money! And, it’s draining his campaign account. I love it!
Margaret Cho is a stupid crotchbag. I don’t think I have ever been so enraged by a D-list celebrity in my life.
On John McCain’s abilities as a soldier in Vietnam:
I am sick of everyone saying ‘He was a good soldier. He was a good soldier.’ Uh yeah. He was captured. So he was not that good.
Holy shit. What an idiot.
She goes on to say that she would like to have lesbian sex with Sarah Palin.
I’ll provide a link, but only so that you can read the full, explicit article on what he has to say. Margaret Cho is a Douche.

Thanks!
I plan on putting a big slash through it so that I can wear it everyday!!! Thank you moveon.org!!!
I made a small donation to the McCain/Palin campaign today. It was very small, actually, but hopefully it will buy a radio spot somewhere. Obama is advertising on my station right now, and I would like to hear the alternative perspective on the air, as well.
By the way, the Obama ad that is airing is a downright lie. A ’sportsman’ says that “Obama supports gun ownership.” Uhm. No.
Last night, we had dinner with Tracy Heron, the mayor of my 5,000+ town. If Governor Palin is anything like him - she’s more than qualified.
Perhaps Mayor Heron should run for governor. ![]()
