As
of today, all the national media polls have Obama with double digit
leads. One of the reasons I haven’t written too much about politics
is because the entire process inspires way too much passion the
last 8 years or so and getting worked up about it generally pisses
me off.
I
won’t make any bones about this, I was a raised in a staunchly
Republican household and just as in my Catholic upbringing, the
beliefs were indoctrinated from an early age. It’s for another time
to argue why I’m no longer a conservative. At that point you can
start pointing out why you think I’m a bleeding heart liberal or
whatever the hell, but I will offer as objective a view as I can as
to why I think the polls are swinging heavily Obama’s way, and they
aren’t all reasons I’m seeing the pundits mention in the media.
Personally, I think they’re missing some of the fairly obvious, but
perhaps less politically correct observations so far.

Paul Newman’s body of work needs no
introduction. For the 30ish and under 30 generation though, you
probably saw more of him at the salad dressing isle. In 1982,
Newman started up “Newman’s Own” food products which has endured as
one of the most recognizable brands of salad
dressings.

I don’t have nice days anymore. I
generally don’t bother with them. However, when I woke up Monday
morning and heard the news the George Carlin was dead, by God I was
ready for a crappy day.
I generally don’t get too emotional about celebrity deaths. Shit
happens, people die, and 9 times out of 10,even if it’s someone who
entertained me on occasion, I just kind of think “oh well, that’s a
bummer” and move on. I’m old enough that I’ve woken up plenty of
times to a clock radio announcing the death of a celebrity or other
public figure. But this morning, as I lay in bed and heard the
words, I literally said out loud “Oh no.” Read
