The Financial Crisis

This whole financial crisis is starting to scare me. I mean, we all knew events of the last 5 years were going to be textbook worthy; with the terrorism attacks, the most ignorant president in decades getting elected not once but twice, and of course the war. But now, we have a instability in our financial infrastructure that could quickly resemble the Great Depression of 1929. We are living history; history so important students will spend countless chapters on just a decade of time.

I never remember my parents having much to say about their period in time that interested me. It was always predominantly my grandmother. History, or more so the present, is filling itself with so many notable occurrences, that I don’t think I will be waiting till I’m old and in my rocking chair to be sharing it with my children.

*sigh*

In other news.

What a bitch move by McCain.
Postponing the debates to go back to Congress to “address the financial crisis”?
Now I know that I was just expressing my fears towards the situation, but I don’t think that postponing a debate, one that can aid in convincing the 1/5 of voters that are still undecided, will do much help. I believe this is a time for the VP’s to take a predominant role in representing their candidates. They are their running mates, they are the ones who understand their beliefs the most, particularly towards the bailout plan. Take your first leadership Governer Palin and represent your partners standing at congress.

In my mind, it’s more important then ever for them to show the American voters what direction they want to take our country and what they want to do about the economy.

It’s roughly 40 days until one of them takes office; we simply cannot put off the debates.

In my best opinion, McCain is pulling a stunt. Being behind in the polls can make a candidate do irrational things, but please don’t think we, Republicans and Democrats combined, haven’t noticed.

What else.

Beyond politics, I’m busy planning Sean and Tyson’s birthdays. I’d like to divulge some secrets via my blog but I think they may know the url now.
But if al works out, Sean’s Big Gay Birthday Bash, will have some marvelous little surprises :D
Tyson’s, well, it’s a month a way, so I have some time. But my creativity is definitely brewing.

Ok, I need to get back to my job. I’m overwhelmed in work.
Love you,
Shannon
