Barack Obama cannot win and neither can Hillary

A lot of people have been talking to me about the upcoming election. Thanks to Jim Hoogewind for reminding me I intended to write something about it.

Obama can't win and neither can Hillary.

Obama can't win as in he will not get enough votes to be elected President.

Hillary can't win in the same way as a Republican cannot win as in we cannot allow that to happen.

Even if I thought Obama could get enough votes, I still wouldn't want him to win. He is way to young and way too inexperienced. The argument could be made that it is all about the cabinet members a President surrounds themselves with and so his foreign policy could not be too tragic as President. History has shown us otherwise. W. Bush had one of the most brilliant men in our country on his team in Colin Powell, and we still entered this debauchery called Iraq that we are now stuck in.

If you think the Iraq war is still ok at this point, you need to take a history class on Vietnam and google the term "striking similarities" so you can understand why this war is awful.

So back to Barack, George W. had Colin Powell, Condoleeza Rice (I hate her, but she's brilliant) and Donald Rumsfeld (again, he sucks, but I am rational enough to realize he is incredibly intelligent) and his Presidency will still likely go down as the worst President of recent time.

Barack would likely end up chasing his own ideas, just like George W did. I'm not going to make this a rant about George W. I know he sucks and you know he sucks, it's just a matter of who chooses to admit it at this point.

Hillary, I have nothing to say about. Republicans and wise Democrats alike know Hillary is a bad choice. Her failures as a first lady in trying to play in the political world show she isn't worth it.

So on to the logical choice: John Edwards. Support him.

Chicago

I'm back in Chicago. It is so different and I was only in Alaska for a week.

I still think I will move there after I graduate for a year or two. It's so peaceful.

Chicago is like Baghdad today. The Air and Water show is this weekend and for the last couple of days, the roar of jet engines flying at low altitude and high speeds has been incredibly loud. They are really cool to watch.

So last night, I was talking about camping and one of the Alaskan girls said we should go sleep on the roof. So we did it. I woke up around 6 am and Laura had abandoned me. I was all alone on a roof at 6am and very confused.

My next post will be something of substance other than my recent alaskan adventure.

Here

Here I sit in the airport in Anchorage, AK, which is similar to Novi, but with beautiful mountains in the background.

I'm ready to get to Sweet Home Chicago, but I love it here. Love it. I'm going to be pissed when I can't climb a mountain tomorrow.

Rain

It finally decided to rain up here, which is fine with me because we are driving to Anchorage today. It will certainly cut down on some of the views, but it has been perfect here the entire rest of the time. Absolutely perfect.

I saw a very large moose last night. They are absolutely enormous.

So we drive to Anchorage, hang out there for a little while. I'm getting dropped off at the airport around 7pm where we will camp out at the bar at Chili's while I reunite myself with the outside world via MSNBC, FOXNEWS, and SPORTSCENTER until Midnight when our plane leaves.

I arrive back in Sweet Home Chicago at 7am tomorrow where I am not looking forward to the heat.

Peace!

Homer, AK

This is what they call a glacier up here in Alaska.

Tessa took this photo of me talking to me Dad. I was describing to him where I was at and told him I would have a photo taken while I was on the phone with him so that he could see it.
These are the Halibut tacos I had for lunch. The Halibut was caught less than a day before it entered my digestive system. It tasted like heaven.
Tessa and I on the beach in Homer enjoying my camera's auto-take feature. Thank you mom and dad.
Beautiful mountains.

Skyline Peak

Today I hiked to a peak called Skyline Peak. I thought I was going to die most of the way up, but at the top of the peak, it was really really cold. I may not look cold in the photos, but it was really windy at the top. I signed a book that said I made it to the top, which was really gratifying.

I seriously thought I was going to die going up some of the climbs though. I totally am a city kid, just plain not prepared for something like what I did today.

By the way, it is 12:22am here and the sky still has light blue in it. What is even crazier is that winter starts here in 2 weeks. I think I could live here, but winter starting in two weeks is just bad news. It was really warm today, but I'm sitting outside right now and it is probably 50 degrees at best.

Tomorrow, I am going to Homer. Look it up on a map or look up Kenai and you will be able to see where I am at.

Peace.
