Well it's finally happened...The John McCain campaign has gone dirty. John Mccain's all for it!  So much for the maverick, and the different kind of campaign.  After Obama did so well in Europe, McCain said " Well, ok, the only way I can beat him is by destroying his character. I don't have anything myself."  I wonder if he was smoking a cigarette lit by Satan when he decided to sell his soul.

Let's see he's called Obama, unpatriotic and a  traitor even. 

He's compared him to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.

Seriously.  I'm not making this up. I'm not embellishing. I don't need to, he's actually doing things this horrible. Honestly I didn't think he'd go so negative this early. I mean where can he go from here?  I guess he could come out with an ad claiming Obama will rape and impregnate all white daughters in America.  That could be lower.

Now McCain is accusing Obama of playing the race card.  Apparently Obama mentioning that he's different and that people might use it against him is off limits.  Preparing people against false attacks using the race card? 
I'm incredulous. But hey, negative attacks work right?

Well, ok, since McCain is going there. I say, let's go there too. I want Obama to feature ads highlighting McCain's age, his confusion, his lack of intellectual vigor .( Like creating an Iraq and Pakistan border when none exists) His unpatriotic votes against the troops.  ( He voted against the new GI Bill, because hey? who wants soldiers getting educated. We need them to run Iraq for the next 100 years.

Attack! Attack! Attack!

Also since Obama is such a celebrity in McCain's eyes, he should keep it up by meeting more people, having events in major cities across the country leading all the way to the convention in Denver. What about a surprise trip to support US Olympians? I say go with it. Americans love celebrities.

Speaking of that, how about a picture of Obama with Brad and Angelina's twins???

I'm grumpy today.  I was probably mislead last night by someone I thought was always honest with me. Grrrrrrrr. 
Honestly I can't worry about that right now.
I've got a paper to write and a final exam to study for, I'm really looking forward to a break from school.  I need a break from Nashville.


Completely unrelated note: Seriously, who wants to work for Diddy? He's an insane megalomaniac.  I'm going to run my own shit, not be his bitch.

I just discovered Stevie Wonder's version of   The Doors " Light My Fire".  Just a revelation! If you've got a download service I command you to find it and download it.  It's on his My Cherie Amour album. 
While we are on the subject of Stevie Wonder he has made my favorite love songs.  Ribbon in the Sky, For Once in My Life, That Girl, As, My Cherie Amour, You are The Sunshine of My Life, I just Called To Say I Love You.  Classics. They will always sound good. Always.  Him and Frank Sinatra. Love songs that will always sound good.
Remember when they made love songs??? When was the last time you heard a really great, romantic love song? 

I think Coldplay has made a few, but they all have a strong emo bent to them.  What about just a pure, let's slow dance, let's make love, let's get married, love song? With no irony. I don't think I've heard a good one since the nineties. Did the new millennium, the information age, crappy economy, and war make us all so cynical that no one is in the mood to write a love song???

So on the way to work today my Ipod played "Everything She Wants" by Wham! Now as some of you may know I am a huge George Michael fan. (and very disturbed by his recent slide back into drinking and drugs following the death of his long time lover) I was listening to him singing this little 80's tune, and I thought to myself. Damn, you know he's really talented. It's a good song, they just didn't take him seriously because he was so attractive. I wonder who is the underestimated pop star of our day????

Note: Do not listen to Prince while at work. Your ability to concentrate on excel charts is severly diminished by songs with titles like "Get Off" " Cream" " If I was Your Girlfriend" and my personal favorite "Erotic City"

Mariah Carey- Thank you for taking it to the Lord! Mariah is always at her best when she is singing those kind of soaring spiritual songs.
And would everyone stop hating on that woman for representing for women with curves everywhere!!! This clip is so good you might need to watch it twice. I did!

Christina Aguilera- Girl, I think you have officially crushed Britney. While she’s looking like white trash, married to a backup dancer, and being unsafe with her devil spawn. You turned into a lady, married a nice Jewish boy, and are successfully moving to the next level. You Go Girl!

Madonna- I worship at the altar of Madge. She can do no wrong. Even in a purple leotard. She is like Moses leading the fashionable through the TJMaxx dessert to the promised land.

Kanye West and Jamie Fox- Marching Bands are cool. I liked the tie in of the ongoing college theme, and the steppers. Did I mention I like Marching Bands???
