Election Media Frenzy

During this presidential campaign, television news networks and programming seem to be trying harder than ever to "one up" each other. Networks seem to be pushing their own slogans even more during this pre-Presidential Election. A couple of these immediately come to mind, "Fair and Balanced" and "No Bias No Bull." Even some "news" - and I use that term very loosely - shows seem to be a little more conscious of pushing their slogans for their own shows or segments, "No Spin Zone," "Keeping Them Honest."

While speaking to Mrs. Pebbles about the upcoming election, she said, "It doesn't matter who wins. With all of the promises both sides are making, we're gonna have it made no matter who wins." The reality is, based on the news coverage of both parties, her statement is true. Unfortunately, we have become a nation of political campaign promises which rarely come to fruition.

According to at least two news sources, I am one of those voters who will decide this election. An Independent. I arrived at this place quite honestly. My Dad's a Democrat. My Mom's a Republican. I am much more conservative on some issues than the left, and much more liberal on some issues than the right.

One issue which hasn't been addressed by any of the news media concerns the possibility of a new hunting Vice-President in office. Governor Palin has been an avid hunter since she was young. (CNN reported she shot her first rabbit when she was just 10-years-old.) If the McCain-Palin ticket wins, you can be assured one thing - it would be very unlikely a woman VP who hunts moose in Alaska would accidentally shoot one of her own hunting party.
