Irony and Honors

Huge Streisand fan, she is an amazing human being. News broke yesterday that she would be honored by the Kennedy Center. We all knew she would be honored one day, but isn't the timing a bit ironic. Streisand is a huge liberal and she has expressed her distaste for Bush for years. I just find the timing a bit off. Bush's last party in the White House will be attended by Barbra Streisand (makes me giggle). I'm sure she'll get him a farewell gift. Perhaps she'll take that GW impersonator as her date, now that would be a hoot. But they are both adults...well at least one of them is...so I'm sure it will work out fine. I just wish I could be there to see the whole thing. Will they take photos together? Will they hug? Oh to be a fly on the wall.

In other streisand news, she is going to be singing for Obama...does anyone have a couple thousand dollars I can borrow?

Out with the old and in with the new...

Welcome to the new blog. I'm contemplating a departure from MySpace so with that brings the conclusion of "Rich's World of Thought". It's time for a change. Speaking of change, we have two polar opposites promising change for America. On one side we have Obama and on the other McCain. Prior readers will note my love for Hillary, I'm still bitter but I'm getting over it.

It's been tough for me to put my support behind Obama. I just couldn't do it. But with Election Day right around the corner I need to make some decisions. Can I honestly go to the polls and vote for McCain? Hell no! Can I go to the polls and waste my vote by writing in Hillary Clinton, yes, but that would be impractical. So the only logical choice is to suck it up and vote for Obama. I'm sure he'll grow on me and do a terrific job, so here it is folks…my endorsement for Barrack Obama. I'll write back here a year from now and see if we get the change we were promised (and rightfully deserve).

That is all for now!
