After unloading near Miami, FL and heading back north, the southbound interstate 95 was shut down. Cops were blocking the onramps and more troopers were blocking the southbound lanes. Obama is in the area. I’m sure it’s for security, but my only thought was that he doesn’t want to be on the same interstate as the unwashed masses. Even if I was voting for him, I couldn’t take the arrogance of the man. From the Presidential seal modification, the Greek columns at the convention and now he’s planning his victory party with Iranian caviar. Isn’t there a trade embargo with Iran? Maybe it doesn’t include the cavier.

And now with Joe the plumber. I thought the democratic party was pro working man. Aren’t they supposed to be the compassionate ones? Aren’t they the party that wants everyone to be included? Since he’s not in the union, he’s not relevant to them. Since he wants to better himself instead of remaining elbow deep in other people’s feces, his questions don’t count. Since he’s a registered Republican he’s not relevant and not supposed to speak to the anointed one. I wrote a Joe the Plumber post over on Life on the Road you can check out.

Since we are registered as “unaffiliated”, I get calls from both sides. I always give different answers on surveys, so don’t believe any polls you hear about, especially about the Nevada candidates. I had one democrat caller say they wanted to talk about the issues, but they asked if I was supporting Obama, I said, “probably not”. They didn’t want to discuss the issues anymore and hung up. I want them to convince me to vote for their guy. I’m not talking about the survey takers, that’s different, this was clearly a party volunteer. One time I was asked if I was supporting Obama and I answered, “Hell, yeah! I want him to take ALL my money, not just some of it.” They hung up too.

Speaking of voting, I’m filling out my absentee ballot after dinner tonight. I would take it in to the restaurant, but don’t want gravy falling on the Obama box by mistake. I’ve still got plenty of homework to do and I need to check with CSN and see how I did on my english placement test. Wouldn’t it be a hoot if I had to take a remedial class to get to a college freshman english class? How is someone going to tell if I need a remedial english class from one page of an essay? Just looking at this site, there are probably plenty of reasons I should be in remedial english. Nevermind. Math, that’s a different story. I know I’m going to be in the pre-math class, I’m not even worried about that yet.
