I used to have this song on my computer until it conked out on me. I have to find out a way to get it. This song still makes me smile after all these years. Go on, Lisa, with your bad self.

I'm in a Political Twilight Zone
So I have a lot to talk about on the political front but since this just came across the wire, it has to be this. I am absolutely speechless at the choice that John McCain has made in his running mate. He has chosen Sarah Palin who is three years younger than Obama, has never been on the floor, and has no experience in Washington. That's not the thing I'm amazed about. It's the fact that he waved around Obama's inexperience like a great flag. And now he has gotten someone even less experienced than he is!
Yes, I can see his gameplan. I'll get a woman Veep candidate and all the women will flock to me. And in some instances, it might actually work. But it's so big, it's really hard to wrap my head around it. I suppose I'm worried about women who just vote for McCain because he has a female vice presidential candidate. The fact that she is a woman will overshadow everything. I have to think about this some more.
Anyway, the rest of the Democratic National Convention was awesome. I really really wish I could have been there. Maybe in another four years. I listened to Michelle Obama's speech which was amazing. She is a wonderful woman and will be an excellent first lady. Hillary's speech which I commented on was also heartfelt and encouraging.
Joe Biden's speech was one that I loved to hear. He is a joy to listen to and is also gave a heartfelt speech. He makes you want him to be the vice president. One thing that I loved personally is that he used to stutter when he was younger. Some people think all kinds of things about stutterers but in reality, it's just a little glitch in the brain. Like Joe Biden and my life partner J says, "My mind moves too fast for my brain." So in reality, stutterers are super geniuses. So I don't mind that I stutter and I feel sorry for people who laugh. The fact that they aren't more aware is ludicrous.
Bill Clinton was just Bill. He reveled in the applause and even said he loved it. You can't blame him for being honest. But he also threw his support behind Obama fully but I could tell he was still kind of upset that Hillary didn't win.
To cap it all off, I watched Obama's 45 minute speech on the Promise of America. It was really good which seems a little lame for his speech. I loved it so much and it made me even more proud to have him as my presidential candidate. If you haven't seen it. Take a look, the speech is everywhere!
So all in all, I am extremely excited about politics this year. I can't wait to vote!
A Giant Colon Comes to Louisville
I wish I had the time to go out and see this at Jefferson Mall this weekend. Who knows? Maybe I will go out just so I can supply you all with pictures.
'Super Colon' to be at Jefferson Mall
The Courier-Journal • August 28, 2008
The “Super Colon,” an inflatable replica that is 8 feet tall and 20 feet long, will be on display in Jefferson Mall this weekend to illustrate the dangers of colorectal cancer.
“This disease is 90 percent preventable but most people are unaware of its impact,” said Councilwoman Madonna Flood, who represents the area.
Attendees can walk through the inflatable to look at healthy colon tissues, tissues with non-malignant colorectal diseases and various stages of colorectal cancer.
The exhibit, which is sponsored by the Colon Cancer Prevention Project, stresses early detection and treatment options in Kentucky, which has the highest cancer death rate in the country.
It will be on display near Sears at the mall, 4801 Outer Loop, from 10 a.m. until 9 p.m. Saturday; noon until 6 p.m. Sunday; and normal shopping hours on Labor Day.
Door prizes also will be available.
For more information, call Betty Mueller or Dr. Whitney Jones at 290-0288. To learn more about the project, visit www.coloncancerpreventionproject.org.

I Am The Luckiest
You sent this to me months ago. I didn't realize how much this would mean. Listened to this over and over today. I think it's because I realize that I am the luckiest. I wish others had what we had. I wish that others can find what we have. I am the luckiest. You are the luckiest. WE are the luckiest. I love you.
I don't get many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls
Brought me here
And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it everyday
And I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest
What if I'd been born fifty years before you
In a house on a street where you lived?
Maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike
Would I know?
And in a white sea of eyes
I see one pair that I recognize
And I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest
I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you
Next door there's an old man who lived to his nineties
And one day passed away in his sleep
And his wife; she stayed for a couple of days
And passed away
I'm sorry, I know that's a strange way to tell you that I know we belong
That I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest
I don't get many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls
Brought me here
And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it everyday
And I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest
What if I'd been born fifty years before you
In a house on a street where you lived?
Maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike
Would I know?
