With the last day of the US election campaign coming to an end, I thought I should use my blog here to help get the word out about the other candidates running for US President. First up is a video from the campaign team behind the Saul Tigh-Laura Roslyn ticket. This video is a great reminder of the sacrifices made by Tigh that he survived through with the help of the Lords of Kobol.

Meanwhile, the other alternative choice for President is taking a more toned-down approach to handling the last day of campaigning. Click here to continue reading »”A Look At The Other Choices For Tomorrow’s US Elections”

I must admit that I find it a bit odd how much people are making a big deal of Colin Powell’s recent official endorsement for Barack Obama. True, they come from opposite sides of the political spectrum, but I think some thought needs to put into what Powell’s endorsement really indicates, not only about him but what I suspect includes many in the inner circles of the Republican party itself.

First of all, I find it pathetic that anyone is so ingrained in their political thinking that they can be so mindless as to just assume at the next election they will vote for a specific party. Granted, there are some issues which both sides have been known to historically support or fight against – abortion is a good example – and on those issues, it can be easy to see why some voters will automatically decide to vote for one party over another. However, there are times when our society faces more pressing issues that should obligate us to disregard such emotionally-charged issues in favour of assessing which party has the best platform or candidate to help our society overcome its current predicaments. But that takes a fair amount of rationalism and yes, intelligence on the part of the voter to understand what really is going to impact their lives and their family directly instead of focusing on issues that might bristle their own personal code of ethics or values.

From this perspective, Powell’s recent endorsement on the surface makes a lot of sense since Click here to continue reading »”Colin Powell’s Support For Barack Obama – An Inside Look at the Republican Party’s Real Plans”

There’s something that the presumptive US presidential candidates said last week that’s been a source of amusement, if not complete bewilderment, that I had to bring up on my blog.

Lately, we’ve all been feeling the squeeze – or in some cases, a head vice – each time we fill up our cars at the pump. Apparently, this hasn’t gone unnoticed by the Republican candidate, John McCain, who suggested the building of 45 new nuclear power plants and, get this, the development of technologies for using “clean coal” to reduce ‘America’s dependency of foreign oil’. Checking in on the Democratic candidate, Barack Obama, reveals that he too supports the idea of “clean coal”. Sounds to me like neither of these guys has ever been around coal since I’m sure even coal miners will agree that clean is the last thing you think about when you work with coal.
