Wow, I’m going to have a crazy year. I remember a year ago this week I was writing a post about Gabrielle competing in Miss Maryland USA, 2008. Well this year she won!!! Gabrielle is Miss Maryland 2009 and will be traveling to Las Vegas, Nevada to represent Maryland for the Miss USA pageant. I’ve been running around everywhere telling everyone like I’m a proud parent!!!
Well its been long past due for some politics on the old blog page here. I will start out with saying that my opinion is again, “My Opinion”. Basically I have very little knowledge with the 2008 Presidential race on the Republican side, thanks to the media bowing down to Mr. Obama. Now, I will not bash Obama, but I will not vote for him, on that note, I won’t vote for McCain either! I guess I gave it away with the title of the rant. Basically I was digging on the web for the candidates for Republican Vice President such as: Jim DeMint, Joe Lieberman, John Thune, Tom Ridge, etc. I was a fan of Rudy Giuliani, ex Mayor of New York. But after discovering few facts about Mitt, I’m more incline to give him a vote.
For starters Mitt is not a idiot, he scored a perfect SAT. So from the beginning we don’t have to put up with the same slogans we are now with Bush-haters, claiming him to be a complete scholastic push over. Not to mention all of these claims are not well backed up and often proven wrong. Romney’s education is impressive attending at Standford University and graduating Valedictorian at Brigham Young.
On the topic of our national deficit, I think Romney may be just the VP we need. He has been a very successful business from the beginning. He owns or part owns companies such as: Staples, Brookstone, Domino’s, Sealy Corporation and Sports Authority. One of his biggest success’ is the 2002 Olympic games: “Romney revamped the organization’s leadership and policies, reduced budgets and boosted fundraising. He also worked to ensure the safety of the Games following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 by coordinating a $300 million security budget. Despite the initial fiscal shortfall, the Games ended up clearing a profit of $100 million, not counting the $224.5 million in security costs contributed by outside sources”, (wikipedia).
I don’t want to make this post look like a book report, but I thought I would finally start to make a political mark on my personal page. I think that Mitt Romney will be a great Vice President at a time where we need someone of his financial capability and also a political figure with morals and values. I do stand by the fact that if McCain does pick Mitt Romney, he will earn my vote barring the fact if Mitt Romney out of nowhere begins to worship satan, aka John Kerry and join NAMBLA, but we all know that is basically impossible.
A few months back I took some pics of our horses and goats. It wasn’t until I was showing some people the pictures that I saw an opportunity to give back to the LOLCAT family!……
So, I’m sure after I post this everyone is going to say, “I’ve seen this, thats an old video”. Regardless, I was looking up some custom cases for my dad for his birthday, when I stumbled on this video!
Almost forgot about the news, I recently purchased a surf wagon! I have a 2007 Jeep Commander with the 4.7L V8 and all time 4X4 for those off road beach days!!! I’m definitely looking to make a surf trip here this fall! Here is a pic of her on Wallops Beach…..
