There is no reason to stop people from getting married. If you want to make people pay all their taxes, and vote, and obey the law, then let people get married regardless of sexual orientation.

What difference does it really make?We all know it’s time for change, say no to Prop 8. The first vote was so close, with 98% of the votes counted the results were:

I just about peed my pants when I got my answer…

As I was checking out tonight’s Election Special on nbc.com, I came across a little quizzy. I laughed to myself as I answered most of the questions. The last question revealed my perfect SNL match…Mr.Bill Clinton!

I chuckled. Given the last question, “If the phone rings at 3am, you would?”, I can see how my silly answer, got one in return. I reckon I would threaten the caller given Bill was ringing me at 3am, again!!

In spirit of poking fun at the Clinton’s, I share this ecard with you. SNL is really taking the 2008 election coverage to the max! Check out the Presidential Bash tonight at 9pm EST!

One day to go for the 56th US Election!! Go Obama!!

CNN is reporting the following for the US Election tomorrow (see image). What an exciting time! I hope and prey Obama wins. It will be a real shame for the US to have old fart McCain in office for the next term. It truly is time for change in the US. Their economy and state of the nation has become such a mess since Bush has been in office (including his investment in the war on Iraq, however, we won’t touch on that item!).

I’ll be at a pub with friends watching the future of the US unfold!!

Educate yourselves! I’m sharing some interesting facts I found here about the election & candidates:

Either candidate would become the first president born outside the Continental United States, as Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii and McCain was born at Coco Solo, Panama Canal Zone, a US naval base.
This 2008 election will mark the first time since the election of John F. Kennedy in 1960 that a sitting Senator will be elected President of the United States.
The new president elected in 2008 will be the first president in 184 years to take office after multiple consecutive two-term presidential administration (Bush & Clinton)
McCain would be the oldest U.S. president upon ascension to the presidency at age 72 years
Barack Obama and John McCain are 24 years and 340 days apart in age.
The 2008 election marks the first time since the 1928 election in which neither an incumbent President nor an incumbent Vice President ran for their party’s nomination in the presidential election
