My Crazy Times

Visit any news website right now, and you will certainly see headlines pertaining to the financial crisis, the President’s prime-time address & McCain wanting to delay, postpone, or cancel the first debate of the Presidential race that is to take place this Friday.

Here’s my question: “When is the time to debate Senator McCain? “

This country has been teetering on a financial breakdown for some time and it should be a crime that this impotent administration and inept congress have waited until this point to fully address the issue.  Nevertheless here we are anxiously waiting to see what the next day will bring, and just over forty days away from electing our new leader who will inherit the mess of the last eight years.  Now is the time for the public to hear from these two candidates.  And not just another stump speech given in front of thousands of supporters, but rather an intelligent exhange and defense of their ideas and policies.

Perhaps the two campaigns need to be discussing having more debates.   Hell, Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas had seven different debates, all of which were on the one topic of slavery, and that was just a campaign for a Senate seat.

Regardless of who is elected in November it is all to clear that the next President will have a monumental task of cleaning up after the disastrous debacle that has been the Bush/Cheney Administration.  Once again, NOW is the time for America to hear from the two men who desire to lead this country.

So, to Senator McCain I say this, “don’t be a coward and hide within the walls of Capitol Hill.  Have the courage of your convictions and share and defend your position on the economy along with Senator Obama this Friday.”

A year ago today my father passed from this world into the next. I had hoped this day would come and go without giving it much thought, but it has been haunting me for the past month. Each day I thought about what I was doing last year at this time and how I might have acted differently if I’d known that in a few weeks I would lose my dad. This type of thinking isn’t too healthy because it eventually leads to a life of regret. I don’t want to live like that but I do want to grow through this experience.

Four years ago today my wife and I were visiting Florida and had been invited to a friends house for dinner. We enjoyed a nice dinner and some wine, and then just as we were sitting down after the meal it was announced on the news that the U.S. military had begun to attack Iraq. I remember this so well because at the time my brother was stationed in Kuwait and obviously I was concerned for him.

There have been many debacles by the current administration throughout this war, but perhaps the most idiotic of them all was the President declaring “mission accomplished” from aboard that carrier. I can’t imagine that those involved just don’t cringe and hang their heads when they see this.

As you can see from the previous post M.C.T. has a new contributing author. It is with great pleasure that we welcome Mr. Holden Jeerson. He has a tendency to be a bit brash at times but overall his heart is in the right place. As soon as we figure out how to get up an author page there will be a more extensive bio. for all of our writers, which at this point in time stand at two but we’re hopefully that others will be added in the very near future.

and personally I’m leaning toward not! It’s quite funny to see something I absolutely love and something I actually despise mixed together. And in case you were wondering it’s the Drowning Pool song that I love. Enjoy!!

By the time many of you read this, we will have almost an entire month of 2007 behind us. What kind of month have you had? Did you start out this new year the way you had anticipated?
