I read a really good article/bio about Keith Olberman a newsman at MSNBC. So, I have been checking him out a couple times ever since. I like hearing what he has to say. I guess I can almost empathize with someone on the other end of the political spectrum saying that they like Rush Limbaugh or Bill O'Reilly. After all, if there is a guying saying things that you really agree with, you will probably enjoy hearing them talk.
I enjoyed what he had to say last night for instance and the cravenness that Fox Network had tried to capitalize on their coverage of the woman who said she was accosted by a black man from the Obama campaign and had a "B" scrawled on her face. This woman finally confessed that this didn't happen, and that she had beat herself up and scratched the B on her face to get publicity (how does someone do that).
Now I hear that he has a "political soulmate" named Rachel Maddow, and since she also agrees with my views, it looks like I will be watching more of them in the future. She comes on right after he ends his broadcast of "Countdown".
The chances are very good that there will be more Democrats in Congress and that Barack Obama will be the next President of the United States. So the "hope" I spoke of in my Intro part of my blog is being replaced by happiness and optimism. I feel like a little kid waiting for Christmas only my day to "open the presents" is going to be November 4! I will right more about this when the results are official.
The kids and I are going to take part in the history and hopefully go to Grant Park for Obama's election rally. The only thing holding us back is trying to get a ticket quick enough, and the difficulty in either getting the kids on the train or downtown by car. It would really be great to take part in history rather than reading about it.

Hey, GREAT to hear about your happiness and optimism. Indonesia's also holding a presidential election next year and they say there are SO many parties now. I don't know yet whom I'm going to choose and if I can do it via postal or something like that since the Embassy is in Helsinki (so far away from here).
Hope you and the kids can go to Grant Park smoothly and enjoy in taking part of the event! ;-D
Cheers to HOPE, OPTIMISM, and A BETTER FUTURE!!!
UPDATE:
I wasn't really that crazy about the Rachel Maddow show after watching it. It seems like she's trying to make a joke out of everything that happens in politics. That's a little annoying.
