political thoughts
-as always, Barry O. gives a good speech
-However, few things i would have like mentioned: just SOMETHING on gun control, the Conservatives obsession with dismantling EPA and other climate control committees
-I did like his focus on education. My advice? Use his power to shut down Jersey Shore. Kids care more about who is following them on twitter, tumblr, or who commented on their Facebook status, rather than science, math, literature.
-Lastly, Who the fuck is Michelle Bachmann? The cheap man’s Sarah Palin? Or, maybe not. B/c this Bachmann character didn’t flee her public service duty. Her speech theme? Banking on miracles. If you happen to be a democrat, you have to be loving that she is giving this speech, even after Republican already gave one. Just shows that the entire Republican party is in shambles. The separation doesn’t seem to cease anytime soon, which I guess bodes well for Obama in 2012.
P.S.: I was hoping Boehner was going to cry.

WORD OF MOUTH KEVIN L. DILLON
“James Daniels seems to be a normal loving father, adoring husband, as well as the only dentist in the small town of Santon. However, underneath his charming exterior, there is an entire different person. James Daniels spends his free time—away from his family—hunting down his victims. Yet, when ghosts from his past begin to pop up, his life is thrown out of control. He has to make the choice to avenge his family and reveal who he really is, or continue to hide behind the mask.”
