With the 2008 presidential election just one week away, I ceratinly hope you have decided which candidate to for for in this crucial election. If you haven’t seen the debates, you must live on the dark side of the moon. There are many issues in this election that may decide the future direction of our country; either to stay the current course and risk repeating our mistakes or to move forward for a more promising future with a better international image. Here’s one website that will help you decide which candidate better suits your philosophy and possibly help you decide for yourself. One thing is for sure, this campaign has provided us with hours of laughter in the form of both outright political gaffs and loads of politcal humor, like the Saturday Night Live parodies of Sarah Palin, performed by Tina Fey. Other gems include the John McCain stump speach as he addresses his constituents as ”My Fellow Prisoners” (Palin’s expression is priceless), was this a chilling flashback from his POW days perhaps? Do we want a guy like this with his shaky finger poised on the button? What was the RNC thinking when they picked these candidates??? If you think things are bad now, and they get in, we’ll need to call Joe the Plumber to unclog their mess. Even for this long time republican, Senator Obama looks better every day.

Depression Got Ya Down?

Economic Depression that is…
Dow Drops 777 points
Dow Drops 777 points on Monday
Stocks tumbled Monday as the damage brought on by out of control markets, bubbles, poor regulation, corruption, over-speculation and greed finally take their toll on the New York stock market as well as global markets, bringing on fears of a coming global “depression era” like we have never seen. The bailout program currently under consideration may or may not help matters. If it does help, it may be only temporary and usher in more problems down the road. The best bet right now is to hold on tight, grab your favorite cocktail and relax because there’s not much we can do about the mess we’ve made for ourselves. It’s time we ask our government, are you smarter than a fifth grader? The answer is clearly a resounding NO!

On the bright side, with the housing bubble burst, building materials are at an all time low. Now is the time to convert that dark depressing corner of you basement or living room into a lively room where you can kick back and laugh it off while watching the Daily Show or Glenn Beck (wait, he might be too depressing becuase he really tells it like it is!). It may be a long winter ahead, but you can shorten it up considerable by building your own home bar using our easy do it yourself project plans and by sharing ideas and photos in our builder’s forum community and photo gallery, all included with your low priced lifetime membership.
Cheers! We could be in for a looong ride!
