Since we’re in a the heart of the presidential election season, and I am a supporter of Barack Obama, I am going to continue to blog politically, this one a direct follow up to a comment I received in my last blog. Here’s what Just Jeff commented: I respect his opinion, but it’s not one […]

The headline is sarcasm… sort of. Obama got in “trouble” today for making an off-handed joking reference to Mitt Romney putting Seamus the Dog on the roof of his car in a kennel some 29 years ago. Here’s Obama’s exact words: “(Romney) said that new sources of energy, like wind, are ‘imaginary’. Governor Romney then […]

Let me start by saying that I am totally in favor of election reform. I firmly believe that a proportional representation system for our legislatures, be they state or Federal, would greatly improve our democracy. Proportional representation is quite simple: Let’s say you’re electing a 100 member legislature, divided between 10 districts, each with 10 […]

Why have the Conservatives launched a war on women this year? I won’t bother to list to you all of the recent legislative actions the states and US Congress have taken that target the rights and interests of women, some of which we thought were long decided matters in our political culture. Suffice to say […]

I’ve gone a little viral. Remember that video I made over the weekend of me making the snow monolith? It’s got like 1200 views in the last 2 days! As YouTube videos go, that’s not much, and several of my previous productions have gotten similar seemingly random popularity. Still, it’s nice in times like this […]

We elected him
in times that weren’t great.
Things are still tough now
but they’re better than they were in ’08
yes they’re better than they were in ’08
He promised hope and change
Things are still on track
We may still be in Afghanistan
but at least we’re out of Iraq.
Well, we’re mostly out of Iraq.
Is it because he’s black?
or because he’s a Democrat?
HE could be for rescuing kittens
and the Republicans would oppose that.
The Tea Partiers would oppose that.
2012 is coming.
Time for an election.
I’m gonna do what I can
because I’m voting for Obama again.
Yes I’m voting got Obama again
(guitar solo)
IN his second term
We’ll take away all your guns
We’ll get those death panels rolling
and set up those internment camps.
Yes, we’ll set up those internment camps….what?
I wasn’t suppose to talk about
that part of the plan? Oh. I can edit it out….
because I’m voting for Obama again.
Yes I’m voting got Obama again.
Why don’t you join us now
the future we will win
He’s leading our recovery
and you know he got bin Laden.
Yes you know he got bin Laden.
I am not one
to be scared and glum
I think our future’s bright
and our best is still to come
Yes America is number one!
So I call on you my friend
to all the women and men
It’s time in 2012
to be voting for Obama again
Yes, we’re voting for Obama again.

I suppose the moderates and conservatives can play too, if they so choose. I’ve been working all day on my first pro-Obama music video of the new election cycle! Back in ’08, I had a lot of fun using my meager musical and media skills to post whimsical political videos in favor of my candidate, […]

“Anthropologists visit the temple sites and read the inscriptions and make up stories about the Maya, but they do not read the signs correctly. It’s just their imagination. Other people write about prophecy in the name of the Maya. They say that the world will end in December 2012. The Mayan elders are angry with this. The world will not end. It will be transformed.”
“We are no longer in the World of the Fourth Sun, but we are not yet in the World of the Fifth Sun. This is the time in-between, the time of transition. As we pass through transition there is a colossal, global convergence of environmental destruction, social chaos, war, and ongoing Earth Changes.”
He continues: “Humanity will continue, but in a different way. Material structures will change. From this we will have the opportunity to be more human. We are living in the most important era of the Mayan calendars and prophecies. All the prophecies of the world, all the traditions are converging now. There is no time for games. The spiritual ideal of this era is action.”
