Just a short note, but can we please start electing people who have some semblance of morals?  Is there anyone out there in New York (or Detroit, now) that runs for office and has not had a ruinous indiscretion?  Come on.

A big pat on the back for the denizens of Oklahoma, who had the mettle to enact a law that will deport illegal immigrants when arrested.  The law, which goes into effect Thursday, also is rumored to cut off government funding for illegals as well.  I heard this first on the radio yesterday, where in Tulsa alone, 23,000 illegals are leaving in droves.  Again, I’m not against people coming to this country to make their living, but there are rules in place that should be followed for doing so.  (See various previous posts on Nick, Phoenix, and my original immigration rant.)

Brownback wins. Hands down. Just in the way the world of Web 2.0 is included (especially his blog). I totally intend to acquire how Brownback’s blog has all the icons so that you can digg it, technorati it, etc. etc. I was blown away by that. (Here’s Huckabee’s in case you are wondering)

Maybe I should compare all the sites. I think I saw in PC Mag that they had compared the top tier candidates for both parties, but that was around January. Nope, I think my eyes would explode. Yeah, it’s a scattered post today. I’m over halfway through on my current pictures for ducks. I like how flickr has been running so far, but I really need to take some more photos before I run out. Hopefully, within the next two weeks I’ll be able to snap some with the Kodak. My kingdom for a new digital camera!

I just want to touch political this week in saying that if we let the marketplace decide what is and isn’t important, the world would go around a little smoother.  We need corn and water to eat and drink, not power our vehicles.  We need current policies enforced, not new ones written up (re: immigration).  We need overwhelming force to crush the opposition, not the continuation of skirmish warfare to keep the world in balance and to bring Americans out of various sandboxes alive.  Both sides are really making me sick at this point and fearful as to what the future holds. How this relates to a wookie winning, I’m not sure, but sometimes that’s how the post starts.::shrugs::

I really don’t want to run a political blog, but when it comes to laws, I’m a minimalist.  I also really only have two outlets for news on these issues: the netcasts that mainly come from TWiT, and emails from the HSLDA (which protects families who homeschool, of which I am one).  The above are actually amendments to a bill that if passed will constrict grassroots lobbying at all levels.  The smaller voices are effectively crushed at all levels.  I’m just not down with that.  Please tell your house representatives to vote these puppies down.

I know I’m going to be the cow’s tail on this issue as I listen to podcasts by the download rather than live or podloading (I learned about this issue on Amber and Leo’s show), but please contact your senators and representatives having them support this bill to save internet radio.  And while I know sites like Pandora will be affected by this, I can’t help but to wonder if stations like allquartetsradio.com and other gospel/spiritual stations will be affected. 

Also, take a moment to participate in the National Day of Prayer.  God is wondering how you are doing.  Why not give Him a call?

Wow, two posts in my first week!  Who knew I had it in me?
