Winter hits my 'little piece of heaven' ...

The temperature is dropping as I write! It is expected to hit the teens tonight. BRRRRRRRRRR! I wanted it to be more like winter ... I forgot you have to be careful what you ask for. It is the end of January, it should be cold! I am not complaining, just commenting. Everyone here in SC is still talking about the Democratic debate held in Myrtle Beach at the Palace Theatre and broadcast on CNN this past Monday evening. Yes, it was an honor. I understand it set some records. What it did for me was cause embarrassment for the Democratic candidates ... they acted like elementary school children bickering over who's dad was the best or siblings "tattling" on one another. Issues, problem-solving, foreign policy, economy, the war in Iraq - should not the focus be on these? The Republican debate the week before was much more civil and covered topics of concern to voters. Way to go, GOP! The Democratic Primary is this Saturday, January 26, 2008 in SC. If you are a registered voter in SC, remember YOUR vote counts! However, remember if you voted in the Republican Primary - you may NOT vote in the Democratic Primary! The Democratic race is close and you could decide the outcome ... VOTE! Sad news ... death of Heath Ledger. He will be missed by his many fans. Our thoughts go out to his family and friends. It is past my bedtime and I still have papers to write for class ... so, chat with you next time!

Excitement over Republican Debates

If you live in the South and you are a Republican, then last night was a good one for you! The Myrtle Beach Convention Center in Myrtle Beach, SC had the honor of hosting the Republican Party Debates. Approximately 3000 people filled the Center to hear the candidates' views on foreign policy, immigration, the war in Iraq and the promise of change each would make when elected. 

Yes, you are looking at a huge sand sculpture built of the candidates' faces. It took several days to construct and will remain there as long as it is presentable. If you are in the area, do walk by it - It is quite amazing!

 

Will it be business as usual? Or will the promises be kept? Will real change take place under the next Republican Administration? I guess we will know soon enough ... I, for one, sure hope so!

Remember, "Y' all come back, ya' hear!"
