I don't know much about the World Economic Forum, but my huband heard that the average bottle of wine served there costs $1,700. That's about 100 times what the average bottle of wine that we drink costs, and we were wondering who's buying it all. He thinks that somehow our government and our taxes may be paying for some of that, but I have my doubts about that . . .

We voted early, here in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

When I say, "we," I mean my 15-year-old son and myself. And yes, HE marked the ballot for Obama. He was for him before I was. My huband voted absentee because he has to be out of town, but we wanted the real experience.

We live in an old Tulsa neighborhood and vote at the Unitarian Church, just down the street. We demonstated for Obama at early voting, but wanted the full experience of going to the local polls to vote this morning.

I've put together a You Tube video of our experience.

Life is about more than making money. You know, although Joe the Plumber will pay fewer taxes under Obama (if he doesn't become a country music star and if he bothers to start paying taxes at all), I will. Ouch! But . . . my kids won't. And you never know what life will bring . . . we may all need a little help someday.

My Dad was a hero. Obama's Heath plans would have helped him . . .

Let me tell you a little story about my Republican father and about a small business that did the right thing . . .

Yes, it happened 26 years ago. Yes, Acorn has been around at least that long. And Senator Inhofe himself has brought the story to the fore again. He's that confidant of winning his race against Andrew Rice in Oklahoma. And he's probably right. This story might even help him in this red state.

In a recent interview with the Alva newspaper (yes, that's where KKK pamplets turned up wrapped around Sunday newspapers a few weeks ago), he spoke proudly of the incident.

. . . . after the fold . . . .

Well, what do you think about this?

NPR posted a video of Muslim supporters of John McCain standing up to supporters trying to link Obama to Muslims.

I guess I'm surprised that any Muslims are supporting McCain, considering that that campagin seems to oppose any diversity of religion, race, or culture . . . and when you think about it, I'm surpried that ANYONE supports them. I really thought I country was more mature than this, but I'm very glad that some McCain supporters have enough decency to stand up to these jerks.

The problem is that Sarah Palin and others from the campaign seems to be encouraging the jerks.

What happens when Muslim McCain supporters go to a rally and encounter other McCain fans making anti-Muslim comments and handing out modified Obama bumper stickers with an Islamic crescent? And what happens when a McCain staffer intervenes in said encounter?

The whole thing was caught on tape. View below the fold:

I received this blog article in the mail today. Published in Salon by "Chicago Guy," it gives us an intimate view of who Obama really is . . . when no one is looking. I'm reading his first book and I understand how much love he has for the American people. It was written before he married and had a family. I believe this man has a great capacity for love--tough, but tender love, and this article underscores his capacity for caring . . .

Malia Obama probably wasn’t sure if her Dad would make it home from work to watch her soccer game this past Friday night.

He’s been pretty busy lately.

Read more about his Secret Service protectors and his visit to his daughter's soccer game . . .

The Daily Oklahoman may be the reddest, most biased newspaper in the country, and they have a headline today,"Jailed Obama fundraiser is talking with prosecutors." That caught my eye. I thought, "Oh my god. Some idiot has done something really stupid, and Obama is going to suffer for it!"

But the story is all about Rezko, now termed as an "Obama fundraiser."

I found it!

I wondered if anyone from the AIP had had fundraisers or had donated money to Sarah Palin.

The answer is YES

Not only did Sarah Palin, as a candidate for Governor, appear at the AIP Convention in 2006, but the co-chairman of Palin's campaign for governor in 2006 was Former Alaska Governor Wally Hickel, who in 1990, was elected Alaska Governor running as a member of the AIP, according to the Website One Peoples Project

What? An organization that has promoted succession from the union and infiltrating the other parties to promote their agenda . . . helped Sarah Palin break into politics? An organization whose founder refused to be buried in Alaska, but asked that his bones be moved back there when it was no longer a part of the USA?

Bobby May, the McCain campaign chair in Buchanan County, Virginia and correspondence secretary for the Buchanan County Republican Party, is very upset that Virginia may give its 13 Electoral Votes to the Obama.

(Update: Obama leads in VA: 51-39 according to Suffolk. For McCains's campaign in VA, he author ischair for the county effort:

He is listed as treasurer for Buchanan Co. Republican Party

If so, it will be for the first time since 1964, and May reacted to this possibility publishing the following racist commentary in The Voice, a local newspaper:

(Oh my goodness, first time ever for a rec diary. I hope being up here helps get this story out!!! )

My question is, I heard some lawmakers on the news this morning saying that changing the Mark to Market accounting rules would help the credit crisis more than the "bailout" would. So, my question is, if they make these changes they’re recommending, what would change?

I know that mark to market accounting was how Enron was able to pull its shenanigans. New rules (Sarbanes-Oxley) were put in place as a result.

So are these guys proposing going backwards and advocating for deregulating the market again, which got us into this mess to begin with, or are they proposing more regulation?

View of Debate From the Oil Patch

Last night may have been the first time many people really watched Obama. My husband, who works for an oil company in a very red state told me this morning that he thinks many of the men he works with probably turn the channel whenever Obama comes on. They hate him that much.

Last night, many of them watched to see their hero, John McCain, smash him. And I don't think you or I would have wanted to hear the names they were calling Obama while they watched.

But look at the polls. Most people liked Obama last night. Many probably were really seeing him for the first time, and they liked what they saw.

What in the world is McCain doing, running all over the place like a madman? Some say his tactics are reminicient of Guerrilla Warfare. Strike here. Strike there. Keep on the Move. Don't let them catch ya!

Well, there may be another explaination:

Old man McCain, with the dream of being president slipping away from him, is not much different from a bull elk in the rut.

Their eyes glaze over, their ears pack up with hot wax, and their loins get heavy with blood. Anything that sounds like a cow elk in rut will fuse the central nervous systems of every bull on the mountain. They will race through the timber like huge cannonballs, trampling small trees and scraping off bloody chunks of their own hair on the unyielding bark of the big ones. They behave like sharks in a feeding frenzy, attacking each other with all the demented violence of human drug dealers gone mad on their own wares.
