So the biggest game in College football is Saturday with the unbeaten Texas Tech heading to Norman to face the OU Sooners.  OU technically was credited with a loss to Texas, however, those who watched that game will remember that the referees cheated Oklahoma out of the win with ridiculous blown calls and phantom roughing the passer penalties that took OU’s ten points off the board.  They also inexplicably overturned an interception that would have sealed the game for OU after Texas quarterback Colt McCoy threw it in the end zone straight to OUs defense.

But this T-Tech game is the biggest one yet.  If Oklahoma wins then Bradford wins the Heisman and the Big 12 South.  If Tech wins then they win the big 12 South and Harrel wins the Heisman.  It is also a huge grudge match since last year Sam Bradford was taken out of the game at Lubbock in the first quarter with a phantom injury.  Halze came in and ripped through T-Tech’s defense and the Sooners had it won until they were cheated out of the game by a horrible call in the fourth quarter.  The refs even got death threats over this call.  It was an even crazier game for the Sooners to lose after being cheated out of the win against T-Tech two years prior when T-Tech was credited with a touchdown after the running back clearly fell three yards short of the goal line with 0 seconds left on the clock. 

Don’t get me wrong, Stoops is just as much to blame as the cheating refs are against OU because it happens almost every big game.  He allows it to happen.  He needs to appeal the cheating calls and take it to the commission each time.  But this game this week is HUGE. 

If there is no cheating and T-Tech wins then they are undoubtably the best team in college football.  If OU wins then they will undoubtably be the no.1 team in the land.  Strap on your beer koosies people.  It could get interesting…

Besides the obvious I’m not mentally challenged, I decided to write a little on why I’m supporting Obama.  Go back with me a few years.  

The country had just been attacked a year earlier and I saw a President who should have still been taking a leadership position in healing the nation exploit the anger he saw for political gain.  His party racked up gains that November in 02 and looked like they were unstoppable.  That is when we started to fight.  Against a war we knew was without merit from the begining.  Against an ideology that uses surpluses to give people with millions of dollars even more.  Against a spying government.  Against a reduction in freedom and the attempted GOP slashing of the Bill of Rights.

Then in 04 it looked like all our hard work was begining to pay off and people were begining to see the fraud and the damage this illiterate clown from Texas had wrecked upon our nation.  But then a funny thing happened.  We nominated John Kerry.  Not that Kerry isn’t a thoughtful individual and would have made a good President, but he just wasn’t the right man for the job.  When you’ve been knocked off the bull you don’t ask for Socrates, no in times like those you need the crazy clown that’s not afraid to get down and dirty.  Dean would have knocked Bush’s teeth out, but Kerry didn’t have it in him.  And that wasn’t the type of candidate that drew voters.  The support for Kerry was more of an anybody but Bush mentality than a genuine admiration and rallying behind him.

But right there on CSPAN something happened while we were nominating Kerry.  A young black man from Illinois stood up and said what so many of us had been searching for and trying to say for so long.  Once he said it everything seemed obvious and clear, but more than that it seemed like his vision of what we could be working together would be much more than the sum of our parts.

When Kerry lost and we got killed in the Congressional battles again we shook up the party.  Dean took over the DNC and we really began to dig our heels in.  The arrogance of Bush thinking he had a mandate was really the point of the entire demise of the GOP.  When we went out and got back to talking about the issues when they proposed the privitization of Social Security was the tipping point.  Finally enough was enough.

This time will be different.  We have a candidate that we can rally around that wants to engage with those that disagree with us and much as those that agree.  No longer is the radical right able to claim sole ownership of the flag and try and use it to disgrace us.  The most patriotic thing we can do is to always challenge and always question.  This election we can put the nail in the coffin of the national GOP forever.  They will become a regional party, but we cannot stop after the election.  We have to stamp out any lasting ignorance wherever it is.  We are on the verge of electing a great leader, well done America.

I went to comment on a story on CNN, wrote a response to the article clicked submit and I get this thank you below

Thank you for contributing. Comments are moderated by CNN and will not appear on this story until after they have been reviewed and deemed appropriate for posting. Unfortunately, due to the volume of comments we receive, not all comments can be posted.

Now if I go to almost any blog I can go sign up write my comment and boom, it’s right there.  People want interaction with the news and we are all becoming so connected only the very uneducated are going to just keep taking what the read in opinion columns and write ups as fact.  The ability to instantly call B.S. on something and get involved in a discussion is going to the be the future of news.  Organizations like CNN will either have to adapt and take the filter off or they can continue to see their ratings decline until the point that they are unprofitable.

I watched this tonight for the first time in a few years.  I am angier now than when I first watched it.  having just watched W. last weekend and getting so wrapped up in the campaign I had almost forgotten what a crooked sack of crap Bush is.

I have always wondered why the Republican party always talks about the issues like they want to do something about them but then they turn around and choose awful candidates and leaders such as McCain, the Bush’s, Palin, O’Liely, Rush Limbaugh, Reagan, Nixon etc. to be the face of their party.  That has always intrigued me.  Now with this McCain pick they are going with an almost “carbon copy” of George Bush with just a bit more lethal wrecklessness to him.  They always talk about the issues and say they want to fix the problems but then they get elected and make terrible decisions that lead to our failing economy, a war for oil with no end in site that destroys the lives of millions, and health care policies so bad they suck the life right out of the average persons expense account.  I always hear them talking issues and political policies and yet they destroy the very fabric of what our nation was founded on with their crazy religious ideals and church politicking.  I say to all republicans now: come over to the Democratic Party!  The party of change, the party who wants you to live longer, the party who fights for the earth, the party who ovewhelmingly has a better economy when our presidents are in office.  (who can forget the gigantic failure that was Ronald Reagan and his ridiculous “trickle down” economics theory?)  The party that lets us practice our seperation of church and state, the party that wants your wife to not be forced to have a rape child if she were ever by some horrible chance raped by a group of gang members, the party that cuts taxes for the struggling while still making sure that there are enough books for your kids to read and learn from in schools.  This is the party that I support and that those lost soul republicans should too.  Because when it comes right down to it there is Good in the world and there is Evil in the world.  I choose Good.  I choose Democrat.  Any thing else would be uncivilized. And unpatriotic.  You see, because by casting a vote for a republican you are actually casting a vote against America.  Come join me my friends!  Stand with us as Democrats against the tyranny and hate that is a republican dictatorship!  I love you all! 

Max Payne

Max Payne is based on a video game.  I was extremely anxious to see this movie because it has my favorite actor of all time starring the one: Mark Wahlberg.  It also had Ludacris AKA Chris Bridges the rapper and I was curious to how he would perform.  It started out OK and then it just kept on going with it’s cool special effects and ended without much of a mind bending finish.  I expected more out of this film.  I don’t know why, maybe it was because of Wahlberg being so freekin cool.  However, I was not really impressed.  He did a great job, but the plot wasn’t that good and the film was more for video gamers.  Ludicris showed me nothing with his little seen cop character.  To say the least it is definitely watchable and with look cool on Bluray.  Not bad but not one of Marky Mark’s best.

I was exited to see this movie come out so quickly.  I could hardly wait to go and see what I knew would be a film that exposed the illegal doings and lies submitted by the worst president in history.  Get Yo Poppin corn ready!  The first thing that I noticed was that the acting was superb.  Josh Brolin is actually a great actor and he has really come into his own the last few years.  I remember seeing him in Night Watch back in 1998.  He was good there too.  The chick that played the mildly retarded Condoleeza Rice was, in my opinion, spot on.  As well as the guy who played Turdblossom AKA Karl Rove.  We see several hilarious moments as Bush thinks back about his blundering goof of a life, however, remember that the film is not a comedy but a true life biography of his twisted road to the white house.  We see that he was always a subpar oaf of a man who rarely thought for himself.  I do love the part where he gets beat by the Democrat in his first run for office.  He vows to “Never be out Texas’d ever again!”  Then we see Bush transform into the crazy, right wing nut that has personal enlightenments from God and sifts through to eventually stealing the highest office on earth.  The movie was extremely nice in my opinion, to the blundering fool that is George W. Bush.  They did not show the Al Gore race, nor his cocaine habit, or even the ballot boxes washing up on shore full of Gore votes in 01.  !!  They could have ripped him to shreds but instead left him with audiences maybe feeling a bit sorry for this child like president.  At the end of the movie it simply ends with him at his favorite spot on earth:  Center field at the Rangers stadium; simply dropping a pop up and looking aimlessly around by himself.  This is a terrific and stunning visual as they no doubt reference to him “dropping the ball” as president.  Oliver Stone:  That may just be the understatement of the century.  This movie was awesome!

I am as big a proponent of clean energy as anyone and I think it is imperative that we get on track to develop and use clean energy.  That being said I want to talk about the stupidity in labeling all oil and gas companies as evil.  Look you can’t take the source of all our energy today and impose a windfall profits tax to give citizens a one time check.  That is as ill thought out as thinking the stimulus last spring would somehow save the economy.  No it will let people stay in their homes a couple of months longer but you are just putting off the inevitable.  Not too mention what do you think will happen if all the major producers of energy get penalized?  They will stop exploration, cap their wells, lay off staff, so they don’t lose money.

The windfall profit won’t help anyone.  I agree we should start a major iniative to switch to clean energy, but imposing a windfall profits tax isn’t going to get us there any sooner and it is not going to solve our mortgage crisis.  If you believe it will then you should believe that tax cuts and mailing checks back to the American people are the way to stimulate a down economy . . . how well has that worked out for Bush?

Why only go after gas and oil companies?  Why not Microshaft or Apple or Intel or AMD or Dell?  The biggest contributing factor to America’s rise in energy consumption is the rise in technology.  Why are the companies who put millions of devices on the market not as culpable as the producers of energy?

Look I don’t want to continue for America to get its energy from finite resources forever either, but when you have no immediate solution to fix the problem you have to bridge the gap until you can get to where you want to be.  Cutting the legs out of our sole source of energy is going to drive costs up for millions of people still relying on oil and gas to heat their homes in the winter and drive their cars to work.  The only thing that tax will do is make everyone who has paid a lot of money at the pump feel better.  And you can’t run an economy based on good feelings, that’s nonsense . . . that what Bushie tried to do.
