So, we’d never have enough time to post all the pictures we take on this site. So, I started a picasa site where we’ll upload the pictures. These are all unedited versions of the pictures, so they’re not going to be as nice. If you see something on here and you’d like a better copy of the picture let me know and I will send it to you.
ENJOY!
We’re throwing a party. You’re all welcome to come. It is a Happy Hour Party on October 31st. We know everyone has their own plans for Friday night, so we’re hosting a small Happy Hour Party to allow everyone to swing by and show off their costumes before heading out to the bars, or to their final destinations.
Whoever is left is welcome to Join us to see the Websters. They are a really fun cover band, they play a lot of funky white boy music like “Play that funky Music” and “Pass the Mic”. Check back later for pictures of the event.
I had to include another political post. Although there is a LOT on my mind, I just wanted to share with everyone this website.
It is VERY simple. You enter your basic Tax information, and the site will tell you, over the next 4 years, what you’d pay in taxes under each canidate.
So I had a nice conversation with Edie about politics over the weekend. She is just like me in that, we’re both so fed up with all the BS from both parties. But one thing she said was that when her and Barb looked at FactCheck.org, there were more Obama lies than McCain.
So, being the curious one that I am, I started searching for “Who is the bigger liar in politics” on google. And I found an interesting article release on Friday that actually tallies up the number of lies told by each candidate, and categorizes the lies into 3 categories based on their severity. The criteria for these categories of lies can be found on the PolitiFact.com website.
These stats were pulled from politifact.com, another bipartisan website that does fact checking for the St. Petersburg Times.
We can officially say that McCain is the bigger liar. And Obama tells the truth way more often.
WWRS? (What would Rush Say?) : “That’s just a lie being told by the liberal media.” This is the argument that all conservatives use, whenever some facts that are negative are released.
Read the article that pointed me to these facts.
And as always, Be Smart… Vote Obama!
(only to include blanket statements about republicans)
We all know that politicians lie. What is crazy about the RNC or the DNC, is the speakers can say WHATEVER they want. Same thing goes for the canidates on a day-to-day basis.
So, how do we tell the difference between the truth and a lie. You can’t exactly check w/ your favorite news outlet, b/c most of them are bias one way or another as well.
That is where this site comes in handy….
FactCheck.org
“We are a nonpartisan, nonprofit, “consumer advocate” for voters that aims to reduce the level of deception and confusion in U.S. politics.”
It is interesting to see what the parties will lie about to get your vote.
