Ladies and gentlemen, Charles Barkley

Barkley says conservatives are just “fake christians”

Yeah. Um, well, he’s entitled to his beliefs, but good luck getting elected the governor of Alabama- an overwhelmingly conservative state- with that kind of vitriol Mr. Basketball. It might be just me, but I don’t think “I believe in abortion” or “I believe in gay marriage” fly very well down there.

Just sayin’.

Election Day? Isn’t that the day they have.. the.. elections?

I’m up studying for an exam this morning, and around 5:55 I’m going to go vote in the KY gubernatorial election. Little known fact, they call it the gubernatorial race because, generally speaking, all the people racing are gubers.

It’s a going to be a straight up Republican ticket for me. I always feel odd, being as independent minded as I am about things, just pressing the R button and being done with it- like it shouldn’t be that way. But the Dems running this time, as usual, are dangerous. I quote Dennis Prager:

There are two parties, the dangerous party and the stupid party. I choose to be a member of the stupid party.

So there’s really nothing can be done except be on the look out for the very rare decent Democrat, because they do exist. Last time I got to vote for a Dem, for the first time (for some local podunk office). That was interesting. Made me feel all warm and gooey inside- which is what voting for Democrats is all about in the first place, right?

It’s a lost cause though- poor old Ernie Fletcher. He’s a good man, but he’s a goner. I sincerely believe he is the best leader for KY right now, which is a rare thing to have in an election. But it’s not going to happen… he just got caught by the machine.

But you never know… (ugh. Was that optimism? I need to have that looked at.)
