Sarah Palin

Some people say part of the reason McCain picked Alaska governor Sarah Palin was to appeal to Hillary Clinton's female supporters, but I think it appeals to another demographic, the one that decides all elections, the white male. She's an attractive, moose-hunting, church-going NRA member. Finally, conservative men have someone to gush over like women did over Mitt Romney.

Obama Anthem

Since the great Barack Obama is giving his acceptance speech today from Mt. Olympus, I thought it would be appropriate to share his anthem with you, you can view the video below:

Bees game and Senator sighting

Yesterday Jessica and I went down to Salt Lake to meet up with some of my friends from high school(Nelson, Taylor, Jacob Coats, and Scott Nixon). We ate dinner at Cafe Rio in SLC with Senator Orrin Hatch. Well, not exactly with him, but he was eating dinner at the table next to us (he was sitting in the corner near the bathroom with his wife and another couple, so I sent a few people to the bathroom to confirm that it was actually him, and it definitely was).

After dinner we went to a Salt Lake Bees game. We got tickets for only $5, which included fireworks after the game, and a free huge strawberry limeade drink from Sonic after the game because the Bees had at least 7 strikeouts. Not a bad deal!

Obama-Biden

Barack Obama selected Joe Biden as his running mate today. I was kind of hoping he would choose Governor Tim Caine because then all the bumper stickers would say "Obama-Caine," which sounds like some kind of medicine. I can just imagine the SNL skits, "Can we get rid of your pesky underarm rash, YES WE CAN! Use ObamaCaine!"

As far as the republican ticket, I'm going to make a prediction: It's going to be Romney.

Sheetrock Party

This weekend we went down to Fillmore to help my dad sheetrock their garage. Celeste and Spencer and Adam were also there to help. Friday night we went to the driving range and hit some golf balls, which was fun. I can't believe how good Jessica and Celeste are at golf!
