• Nut Cutting

                                             
  No, this is not a picture I photo-shopped.  From FoxNews.com:
     Rev. Jesse Jackson apologized Wednesdayfor saying Barack Obama is “talking down to black people” during whatJackson thought was a private conversation before a FOX News interviewSunday.

    Jackson was speaking to a fellow guest atthe time about Obama’s speeches in black churches and his support forfaith-based charities. Jackson added before going live, “I want to cuthis nuts off.” His microphone picked up the remarks.

  Awesome. Pure awesome.
  
  Let me set a scenario for you.
  Scenario 1) There’s a really successful football team. They’ve been called world champions and their game play is superb. Their coach has made his share of mistakes but their last eight seasons  have gone undefeated. The world over recognizes them as the best team. However, a few of their fans  have rallied together and decided they don’t like the mistakes the coach has made and believe it has put dirt on the entire team’s name. They want a new man leading the team. So they scan the stadium full of people to find a well dressed man. They ask his opinion  of the whole thing and he eloquently  tells them he has no experience in football and knows next to nothing about the game except that he’s bored with it and believes it should change. Now, half the audience is so dazzled by the way this man speaks, that they look past his inexperience and hoist him on their shoulders, leading him to the coach’s place on the field. The other half of the stadium stands there with their jaws on the floor wondering, “What the hell are they doing? They’re gonna destroy our winning team!”
  
  Scenario 2) There’s a leading business, well noted for it’s success. It has leading world class technology. Unlike other businesses, when the CEO of this company hears of smaller business who are suffering or in need of money or supplies, they don’t hesitate to send aide.  They have a long and extensive hiring process  to work in their building and this upsets alot of people who don’t wish to go through the process. So they sneak in  and steal from the free vending machines intended for the employees. (The vending machines are supplemented by a few cents from each employees’ paycheck.) They take supplies from the first aid kits leaving almost nothing when a hired employee needs it.  Suddenly, a man outside the large corporate building says it’s time for a change. The man says, “How dare you keep non-employees outside of your building.  All of the rest of us who work at other jobs should be able to come into your building and take your supplies that you pay for! It’s time for a change.” The man outside the building requests to be hired as the new CEO. He’s had very few dealings with  the business and his  friends frequently talk poorly about the  business, saying “Godd*mn the business!” People outside the business lift this man onto the nearest soapbox, cheering his name and the “change” he stands for.
  
    Now tell me, how much sense does this make? If you don’t know who you want to vote for yet, consider letting America go down the drain. These are the ideas that Obama supports and we ARE the world champion football team. We have the greatest technology and hand out unlimited benefits to smaller third world countries like the big business. Are we perfect? No.  But we’re the best damn country in the world.  We are a giving country, a technologically advanced country, we have the best military in the whole damn world and the best  land for opportunity ever recorded in history. And yet, some man in a fancy suit wants to come in and “CHANGE” all of that. Well damnit, it’s not right. You might not like McCain, but at least he’s proud of the country he lives in. I didn’t want to vote for McCain, but at least a vote for him is a vote AGAINST Obama. 
  
  Think about it. Stop listening to how *well* Obama speaks and start listening to *what* he’s saying.

  Edlives fixed us a video via his website of the actual nut cutting event.
