Blaine561 here with my latest updates on the political issues facing our world, …

Here are some things I found on the Internet today, I thought would keep it onthe lighter side, but please don’t forget, there is nothing light about this election.

The Great Schlep aims to have Jewish grandchildren visit their grandparents in Florida, educate them about Obama, and therefore swing the crucial Florida vote in his favor. Don’t have grandparents in Florida? Not Jewish? No problem! You can still become a schlepper and make change happen in 2008, simply by talking to your relatives about Obama.

Sarah Silverman - Niteline Interview

This started as a post on something I heard on CBC this morning, but has blossumed into an collection of funny and informative clips on the curent US election. I do not own a TV at the moment so I was seeing these videos with a fresh eye, though I have seen short clips on CNN.com Live. Please, don’t get me started on television, that’s another post on my list. But, as David Letterman said, "The road to the White House goes through his show!" and to ditch an appearance, a month before the election, and then lies about it, is not the dumbest thing to do, getting caught in makeup on another CBS studio set, in the same building, waiting to go on the air with Katie Couric. Now that’s not only dumb, that’s rude.

Well, after that one I followed a thread to find out about what was being said about the next President of the United States, Sarah Palin. This really scares me and should most of my readers, that, as Jack so eloquently puts it, "is just one heart beat away from being president", should even be on the ticket, yips!

This last weeks of the campaign is going to see a lot more nasty, doublespeak from the trailing McCain/Palin ticket against Barak Obama along the lines of this, but what will only inflame voters to actually go out and vote this time. I hope so!
