Thank You, Moose Mama

Gov. Sarah Palin has alienated most Democrats plus some independents

and a few Republicans. Palin's beliefs in the "End of Days" of the most Evangelical Christians, her rigid stance against abortion, her "drill, baby, drill" her hunting wild animals from a helicopter, her pro-gun policy, and her "continue the war in Eye-raq until we have Democracy" policy have endeared her to like-minded Republicans.

However, there are people who are very tired of hearing Republican policy statements. First, most Democrats are tired of her. Let her skulk back to AK on November 5th. People who believe in a woman's right to choose don't like her opposite stance.

Religious people who do not believe the world is going to end soon but that most of us should continue doing good works do not like Palin much.

Those Americans who wish to let wild animals roam free but for those persons who actually need to hunt to eat or native populations don't like her either. She shoots wolves from helicopters.

Women who value women's rights don't like her. A woman's right to choose abortion is the major issue. Further, a woman's right to equal pay for equal work is necessary.

Men who value women with high intelligence do not value Gov. Palin.

Her support of the Republicans' ideal of staying in "I-Raq" until there is a Democracy there is not one that is admired by strong Democrats.

Finally, "Drill, Baby, Drill" for oil, especially drilling in the

Arctic National Wildlife Refuge:

is the final straw added to her effigy, that we'd like to theoretically "Burn, Baby, Burn" -- the straw woman, not Palin herself.

Palin:

You have galvanized Democrats, Independents, a few smart Republicans and across the board, people from ages 18-28, to

vote Democratic this coming Tuesday, November 4th, 2008.

Thank you, Sarah Palin, for helping to elect Sen. Barack Obama.

Michigan! Hold on! Obama's Comin'

The percentage is astonishing, yet we all knew it: manufacturing jobs

down by 20.5% in Flint Michigan from August, 2007 to August, 2008.

Michael Moore, a hero of mine, lived there. "Roger and me" 1989 showed how G.M. gave up on its steady workers from Flint, and made it a "ghost town."

http://www.michaelmoore.com/books-films/index.php

He has now become world-famous and in his efforts to show how Flint fared in the last 19 years, showed us that not only Flint had suffered, but that everyone suffered under George W. Bush. See "Fahrenheit 911" if you can.

In July, 2008, unemployment in Flint was at 24.8%.

That's right, pretty much 25% unemployment.

This number is from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which I am imagining is not

full of Bush-loving Republicans. At least they seem to publish just

the straight Statistics.

I am on my way back to the D.C. area tomorrow to start back with classes and my Online mid-term. I just presented at Ann Arbor, Michigan. The type of people who are at similar hotels here in the Washington, D.C. area, to the one I stayed in, in Ann Arbor, are frequently not born in the U.S., don't have excellent English,
and have not one clue about autism. But in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the Sheraton was staffed with well-educated people who spoke beautiful English and were directly on point with the needs of persons who have autism. I have a feeling that the unemployment in Michigan allowed the manager of the Sheraton to have persons of the highest quality. I did not ask, but I'd bet some were from U. Michigan and some from Ypsilanti, from Eastern Michigan University. Even in educated Ann Arbor, the July, 2008, unemployment rate was 13.0%. It was anticipated that it would go down a bit for September, to 11.8%, perhaps because University of Michigan and Eastern Michigan University would be back in session.


My own home town, Arlington, VA, has a an unemployment rate of 4.3%. That's low. But it is not as low as it was in April 2008: 3.8%.



Michigan! Obama's coming. I believe he will bring back jobs to the U.S. instead of having them sent offshore to China or India or other Asian nations.


Michael Moore: Thank you for all your wake-up calls.


Two weeks ago, John McCain pulled his campaign out of Michigan.
This says something pointed and important.



If I may quote a Motown song, that Obama could say, though perhaps not sing, "Hold On! I'm Comin' !" by Sam and Dave, which also

has a line that says, "Lean on Me When Times are Bad." And the
Michiganders can.

Gallup Poll of October 21st: Obama 52% v. McCain 42%
