Are You A Real American?

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

Boy, was I surprised that I am not.  You know, since I live in Chicago and all and not a small town.  Don’t know what I am talking about?  I didn’t hear the statement that Sarah Palin made at a rally (you know since the libel media is sooooo biased against her), but Jon Stewart sure did.  Check out his thoughts:

Now, the Chicago Tribune did an article several weeks ago (and I’ll link it as soon as I find it) showing that small towns have just as many problems (if not more) than big cities. I personally am sick and tired of hearing how “small town America” is so much better. Let me show you Chicago. Granted, we have our problems too, but we sure don’t act better than anyone else. Wait, can the Olympics even be held here if we aren’t part of “real” America? Like Jon Stewart said, if you are from a big city and die over in Iraq, you aren’t a “real” American.

So if I am no longer a “real” American, do I still have to pay my taxes, since in the Republicans eyes I don’t count? Basically, what I am lead to believe with the way all these Republicans are talking is that unless you are a Republican, I guess you aren’t a “real” American.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this!

The Energy Commercial ABC Won’t Play

Friday, October 10th, 2008

It is amazing that ABC will take money from Exxon and other oil and energy companies to play their commercials.  However, when someone comes up with an ad promoting *gasp* other fuels to use, they refuse to play it. Come on ABC, what is the real reason this ad can’t play?  Big oil in your pockets too?  Here is the commercial that is RePower America is trying to use.  What do you think?  Why won’t ABC play this?

Please forward this on, so ABC gets it into their heads that this is not okay. Of all the crappy male enhancement commercials I am stuck watching on a daily basis, this commercial is good and they won’t play it. If you feel this is wrong, here is a petition to sign to let ABC know how you feel.
