Ledger Reflection, and Other Junk of Interest

I'm ripped apart about Heath Ledger. We've heard every speculation under the sun about the cause of his death. Unfortunately, there's no evidence to back it up.

News flash: Fred Phelps and his gang of psychopaths are going to picket Ledger's funeral.

On behalf of America at large, I hope Phelps and his friends get their legs broken.

In any case, the bigots at "The Noise" have come out of the woodwork, and the fools at CNN have, too. After all of this, the one entity I did not suspect has been remarkably quiet, showing restraint.

The White House. And as such, thank you, Mr. President... thank you for not making assumptions and letting things run their course. I do not agree with many of your policies or actions, but I wholeheartedly thank you for this.

Those who may not have been fans of Ledger are probably sick of hearing about his death, I understand. However, after July, I believe you may.

As for returning to a place of normalcy:

Ted Kennedy endorsed Barack Obama yesterday.

So the world is turned upside town. Not quite yet.

Obama is a man of extraordinary vision: perhaps vision grand enough to match statesmen of old. He is also a man of high charisma, and that helps. His movement is picking up steam, and everything is falling into place.

That doesn't mean I'm going to vote for him. I applaud the Senator for bringing Republicans and Independents into his campaign. I also applaud him for withstanding the negative endorsements (welcome to politics).

These recent actions tell me that he is someone of immense strength, someone who can stand up to criticisms. But so can others.

I have yet to hear the Senator lay down a specific plan about anything. However, many who have met him personally say his specifics are incredible... and that's what is making him such an attractive candidate.

So, what does that mean? Absolutely nothing. His momentum is high, and will continue to rise. He may have enough to reach the White House, but it is still far, far too early to tell.


I've made up my mind about who I'm voting for. I'll give you a few hints: he was talking about the state of the economy long before the Presidential campaign began, and he has the most aggressive plan to attack poverty.




Side Note: How can anyone vote for Mitt Romney? Please remember that John Kerry and he were indeed separated at birth.
