Tougher in Alaska

Picture source: Drudge Report

McCain's choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is nothing less than a surprise. Is it risky? Yes he just took away his argument Obama's lack of experience. Though I believe someone from a Alaska is a little tougher than the norm. Plus look at Alaska geographically you've got Russia across the way and you border Canada. There's your foreign policy experience right there. Ok that's a stretch but what the heck.

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin

I had a feeling McCain wasn't going to pick someone obvious like Romney(my personal first choice), Rawlenty, Ridge and Leiberman. I believe that any one of those choices ran risks anyway. McCain obviously went for broke. I think it's an excellent choice for VP. It may even garner some still disenfranchised Hillary supporters. Who knows? On top of that she isn't half bad looking either which doesn't hurt. A lot better than Hillary would have been as VP Ewwww!

Yaz was one of my baseball hero's while growing up. I hope he's alright. He played with guts and class. My prayers are with him.

Obama: The One ?

This is a pretty nifty ad by the McCain camp. I personally don't buy the Obama crap anyway.




Here's the one featuring Britney and Paris:

Record DUI

Stanley Kobierowski, 34, of North Providence now holds a Rhode Island record. Although I'm not sure he's proud of this one though. He allegedly blew a .491 on breathalyzer which is six times the legal limit(.08) according to Rhode State Police. The highest recorded of someone still living according to authorities. He was arrested after hitting a sign on Interstate 95 near Providence Place mall. He must have had one heck of a hangover on Tuesday after spending the night in Rhode Island Hospital in the detoxification unit. He was arraigned in Lincoln at the State Police barracks on Tuesday. We were lucky he hit a sign rather than a family in a minivan or something more tragic. Congratulations Stanley!

The shooting is being considered suspicious.

I was reading a report on a local shooting here in Providence and a curious line got my attention. "The shooting is being considered suspicious." Boy and I was worried that our local law enforcement wasn't on the ball? What shooting wouldn't be suspicious?
