This is a totally unimportant observation compared to others these past few weeks but have you noticed how the television media and those they interview refer to the candidates? I'm not talking about the nicknames, the name calling and the jokes that are flying around. I'm talking about how their real names are used. Maybe it's just me but it seems like more than a few times when I heard someone speak of Obama and McCain together they will sometimes say, "Barack and McCain," not "Barack and John," Palin is often called "Sarah Palin," or "Palin," not "Sarah" and Biden is often just "Biden," not "Joe," (at least not until a certain plumber with the same name came into the picture - I hear "Joe Biden" more now).
The ever-so-obvious slanting of the media is one of the things I hate most about politics. The thing I hate even more than that is the down-right hateful things that are said and done to and by decent people everywhere. I think I'll keep an unbiased tally on such things tonight while I watch the election, just to keep my sanity. I'll be sure to address the positive, as well. That is as political as I will get this election, besides my vote, of course. Oh, I almost forgot, we also had a sign in our yard but someone took it.
I know my dear mother-in-law is going to be disappointed that this post has nothing about the family in it. I promise I will try to catch up soon.

Go John and Sarah! Oh wait...upon writing that-I'm reminded of a past I'd rather leave there. Go McCain and Palin! You're not crazy- the media IS blatantly and overtly in favor of the other guys... what were their names??
That would be President Obama and VP Biden. I am glad the election is over and I will begin praying for the President. I will also be respectful, even though I know I will disagree with many of his policies. I will disagree, not hate, as many have done with our current president.
Well said- but let me respectfully disagree with him for a moment. Now that the election is over we will get to see what the pied piper really does have in store for this great nation. I hope it really is "change we can believe in". I do fear that "spreading the wealth" will be hard on us all. I believe him when he said he won't raise taxes on the "middle class" (if he could only decide what he thinks middle class is)- but taxes are set to go up all on their own when the current tax cuts are allowed to expire! Semantics- semantics! Our president elect is an excellent wordsmith- I'll grant him that! I'll just "cling to my religion" until the next election. My God is bigger than all of this! That's all from me on this topic- I promise.
To my favorite daughter-in-law: I,m not too picky,I,ll read anything you write.I can,t help it if i,m a little partial to your your crew (the whole bunch& you) I,LL even let you toot your 0wn horn if you want. Lord knows you deserve it! I'm also glad the election is over,just concerned what in store for us now. Sure can't get any worse? You'r correct the media was just a Little biased.I almost did'nt vote! I can see a lot young couples not getting to retire as planned!heart breaking! We got to do what we wanted when we became of AGE! Everyone should have that chance,without working their butts off till they are as old as we are now! Did'nt mean to write a book. LOVE WVA
The South's gonna rise again. lol
Chad said that SC is going to succeed from the US. lol
All I can say about our newly elected president is "What were they thinking?"
Pray Pray Pray for our nation.
Love to all and give the kids a big hug.

I certainly hope not! We have come too far in this country for more civil unrest. Chad doesn't have a confederate flag hanging in his truck window, does he? Although I know God knows exactly what is happening and what will happen, I have and will be praying for our nation, for unborn babies, and for our president elect's safety. There are too many crazy, radical people in the world, I think. Can you tell I'm conservative?
