(former) President Reagan for Obama?!

With about three weeks left til the 2008 Presidential election, one must muster a sense of humor.

If the following was a real campaign ad, I imagine it would be called "Republicans for Obama." Posted on Youtube, someone thought to splice together many of our concerns with an actual speech by former President Reagan, who seems to imply an endorsement of Senator (D)IL. Barack Obama for the Presidency. Despite the seriousness of the topic, having Reagan's words from his 1980 speech describe our country's situation put a little smile to my face & hopefully yours.

Also please remember the 3rd Presidential Debate is this Wednesday evening the 15th.


**DISCLAIMER: for the record I'm registered "declined to state" and yes, I'm voting Obama/Biden.

Weird little item..

While scrolling through Friday's City Council agenda (what? You all don't do this too?) for important stuff up for consideration, I came across this little gem that made me smile just the slightest bit.

File it under.. "political humor" (which I don't have a lot of experience with):

ITEM 08-1192: CD9 G MOTION(Perry/Hahn) Relative to declaring the Celebration of Freedom on July 4, 2008 a special event, (fees and costs absorbed by the City= $1,226).

Granted it's just one of many serious things the City must do to make it all official and whatnot. I dunno.. fill in your own punchline. Mine was "wow! I thought the celebration of freedom already is a special event! (for those that have it)"

Yeah, I know, needs work.. NEXT!
