I have been really lame lately when it comes to blogging. Twitter has been stealing my blogging ideas with the ease of using TweetDeck and TwitterBerry. Here’s a quick one that I won’t let Twitter steal.
I didn’t see SNL last night, but I just saw the opening skit via the Chicago Tribune web site, of all places. Tina Fey did a great job as Palin. Check it out:

Hopefully I will be less lame in the future.
Update: Not even an hour later, and I am foiled. YouTube pulled the clip from last night. Here’s NBC’s clip, which is of better quality, but it has a pre-roll ad:

Update: Argh! NBC sucks. Not only did they get the clip pulled from YouTube, but their embed code doesn’t even show the correct video. Here’s the actual page where the video is. Don’t click on the ads. Stupid NBC.
This past weekend, Sen. James Meeks (D-Chicago), a pastor at Salem Baptist Church on Chicago’s South Side, brought more attention school funding in Illinois. Meeks’ has called on Chicago parents to boycott the Chicago Public Schools, keeping children out of school until the funding issues are resolved. To make things worse, nearly 50 other Chicago ministers yesterday announced their support for Meeks’ boycott.
I heard about this on the radio this morning, but I completely forgot about it on my walk from the car into the office. Thanks to Clint for reminding me.
The Florida Senate recently passed SB 2692 with a vote of 21-17. One Democrat voted for the bill, while five Republicans voted against it. SB 2692 is yet another proposed piece of legislation favoring teaching creationism and intelligent design as science (what I will call CIDS). A similar bill is in the Florida House, but a bill must pass both the House and Senate with identical language before it can go before Gov. Charlie Crist (I’m hoping it’s pronounced with a short ‘i’ and not a long ‘i’).
I’m not going to pretend that I understand Florida, because I don’t. However, I also would not have pegged the home of NASA as being a state in support of CIDS. I can only hope that the bills do not pass the Florida legislature. I could not agree more with Florida’s Senate Democratic Leader when he says, "In 2008, it is embarrassing for us to be debating evolution." When will this idiocy stop?
In a stunning revelation that is sure to upset the governing overlords, today Diebold leaked the 2008 Presidential election results, more than eight months ahead of schedule. For many years, the winner of the Presidential election was not publicly announced before noon on Election Day, at which point the governing overlords assumed that there were enough votes cast to safely "call" a winner without arousing suspicions. Not so this year. Any voter can walk into the booth on November 4 confident that his vote does not, in fact, count for anything:
Seeing this news story reminds me of when I discovered professional wrestling was just a couple of stage actors groping each other in their underwear.
I believe in Barack Obama and his message of change, his message of unity, his message of hope. I have been following Obama since he announced his candidacy. There is something in his message that is different and refreshing, and I like it. Tomorrow, I will be voting in the Illinois Primary Election. I know where my vote is going. Do you?
