So it’s Labor Day and due to a change in my relationship status, I had some free time. Initially I tried to be productive by getting reacquainted with my medicine ball and push-up routine. Now that my abs feel like they have been tied in knots, I decided to watch some West Wing and catch up on international news. I have quite a bit of international experience and training which plays into my current job, but I keep coming back to the trends and views that have seemed to become a normal part of the U.S. political discourse. I am of course talking about equality: racial, gender, sexual, or otherwise.

This is simply me asking questions and voicing opinion; if you are expecting some major revelation or policy suggestion, you should stop reading. I will save you time and say equality to me is just that-all are equal. While I view all as equal, that does not mean I believe the state should treat all people as equally abled. All are equal, yet all do not have the same abilities in my opinion. The solution and discussion on that is for another entry.

So this weekend the TPM folks sent a reporter down to KY to watch some good old fashioned politicking at Fancy Farms. See TPM for more details: http://ow.ly/...

While Rand Paul has been making it easy for Jack Conway, the fact still remains that Conway threw some body blows at Paul that were quite true. To put it into Southern terms, he called him on his shit. Now Rand Paul has quite a bit of this material he can be called on and I honestly believe there are some serious parallels between this race and the rest of the elections that are coming in November. Not so much with voter confidence and such, but with message and force.

So I was on the phone with my Sis after work yesterday and the subject of the election came up. She told me she voted for Sen. Lincoln. After I picked my eyeballs up of the floor and popped them back in, I calmly asked her what the hell she was thinking. I was given the reasons that Sen. Lincoln had seniority and was bringing money to AR. After discussing the merits of corporate sponsorship and realizing that she had no real beef with Halter I let it go. That and I knew the outcome thanks to the info on this site. However, with the crafty moves from Sen. Lincoln today I had to bring it back up to her. It is just too important to me and our family, who are heavily involved in AR health care, to let this golden opportunity slip through our fingers. So instead of doing course work like I am supposed to be doing, I wrote her an email. See below for the details.
