Pinnacle Passes Obama Steamroller...

Back on the 6th I talked about the vile commercials that are/were being aired on the local stations on the Pinnacle Entertainment casino for here in "The Rouge." Luckily election day has come and gone and PINNACLE WINS! I did not care either way, but in an election (if I had voted) based purely on aesthetics, Pinnacle had the classier act. Good for you Pinnacle, make those boats pay. :-)

Barack stuck it to ole Hillary in the primaries/caucuses yesterday and I could not be happier. I should make my stance clear, I have nothing against women running for president. It will be a great point in this nations history when one finally does (please don't let Hillary) have its first woman president. Why do I not like Hillary or not want her as our president? If this is supposed to be the model democracy for the world to model (lots to be desired I know) then out of a population of 300 million, why is the wife of a FORMER president one of our BEST?? hopes for president? More and more we realize that you have to have some serious bank to finance a campaign and it almost (not always) means that with enough cash you can buy your way in. Plus of all the canidates, Barack has spent the least amount of time in DC and "appears" to not yet be infected with the Capital Hill bug. He still has a sense of what life really is like outside of D.C. So you can stamp it in the books...my ticket for '08 is Obama/________ (insert vice president here).

Finally to conclude this week I give you the king of the turtle pond I visited this weekend. I was going to go to a local community park here that is supposed to have superb trails and nature areas right in the middle of the city, but forgot my wallet, and could not pay the $2 fee to get in. Oh well...If you look closely, this smug little guy looks like he is sporting a mustache. I thought about PhotoShoping in a little french barrette and a small cigarette...but you just can't spoil nature!
Cheers!
