The grapefruit diet is alive and well and works...

Here's an updated blog of mine from 2008:

Polling of people's opinions and positions is very common during political campaigns. I think it has almost grown to an obsession with some people. Polls are prone to error, spin and varying interpretations. Often times, polls are used more to influence public opinion than to measure it.

Americans are celebrating the latest Reuters/Zogby poll released on Wednesday. McCain now has a nine point lead over Obama (49 percent to 40 percent). What a change from Obama's earlier lead of 7 percentage points!

Maybe you have been content with the political race between Obama Hussein and McCain. Or, maybe you thought it was starting to get a little boring. Things might just be improving.

Paris Hilton has declared that she is now a candidate. Her inclusion in the McCain campaign ad was apparently perceived as an invitation. Paris immediately clarified she is not like the other two candidates, but raher stated that she is 'hot'. Her words, not mine. Then she proceeded to lay out a balanced energy plan which has some merit.

You thinking Obama? Stay tuned.

Man of the Year is a movie in which comedian Robin Williams decides to run for President of the United States - and wins! As a candidate he uses his humor to attack government, as well as both the Republican and Democratic candidates. While still President Elect, and not yet inaugurated, he learns that his victory was the result of a software glitch in the electronic voting system. What now?

Earlier (see Super What?) I posted about the 'superdelegate' element of the Democratic party primary election process. This was new info for me. I do not even know if the Republicans have such a tool in their toolbox. Previously I had mentioned that the supers could possibly sway the election in a different direction than the primary voting results.

At face value this headline struck me as funny. When talking true Republicans, you would probably expect McCain to be winning - since he is the only Republican candidate as far as the eye can see. Can you win if there is no one to beat?

New evidence seems to indicate that Geraldine Ferraro's problem is the color of her skin, and that color is white. You might remember a few weeks ago that Geraldine was asked to resign from Hillary Clinton's campaign staff over a comment she had made. Her offending comment indicated that the color of B. Hussein Obama's skin is directly related to his success in the campaign.

Obama thought they were not listening. He thought they would not find out. After all he was speaking to a group of wealthy liberal democrat elitists in San Francisco.

Fortunately for Americans, the information age swooped in and his comments were posted on a liberal democrat website called Huffington Post. The working class now thinks long and hard about Obama's words.
