Truthfully, my mind is made up over most of the candidates and propositions. I have not seen or heard any campaigning that would cause me to doubt my decisions or even sway.
If I lived in Ohio or Florida, I am assuming that we would have been inundated by all the campaign paraphernalia and ads. Since the parties are focusing on the so called "Battleground" state, they are obviously expecting to make a difference there. I wonder if that is true?
More important, I think, than the presidential race are the congressional races. Congress needs to be revamped to allow some actual work to be done rather than just blocking Obama. I'm not telling you anything that you haven't already heard, but certainly you should be aware of the impact that their attitude and lack of performance on the economy, job creation, foreign policy, etc.
Car Accident
As my five year old son and I were headed to McDonald's one day, we passed a car accident. Usually when we see something terrible like that, we say a prayer for those who might be hurt, so I pointed and said to my son, "We should pray."
From the back seat I heard his earnest request: "Please, God, don't let those cars block the entrance to McDonald's."
A woman and a man are involved in a car accident on a snowy, cold Monday morning; it's a bad one. Both of their cars are totally demolished, but amazingly neither of them is hurt. God works in mysterious ways. After they crawl out of their cars, the man is yelling about women drivers.
The woman says, 'So, you're a man. That's interesting. I'm a woman. Wow,
just look at our cars! There's nothing left, but we're unhurt. This must be a sign from God that we should be friends and live in peace for the rest of our days.'
Flattered, the man replies, 'Oh yes, I agree completely, this must be a
sign from God! But you're still at fault... women shouldn't be allowed to drive.' The woman continues, 'And look at this, here's another miracle.
My car is completely demolished but this bottle of wine didn't break.
Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune.'
She hands the bottle to the man. The man nods his head in agreement,
opens it and drinks half the bottle and then hands it back to the woman.
The woman takes the bottle, puts the cap back on and hands it back to the man.
The man asks, 'Aren't you having any?'
The woman replies, 'No. I think I'll just wait for the police...'
MORAL OF THE STORY:
Women are clever. Don't mess with them.
