Hope is on the Way

You can download the memorable phrase Hope is on the Way from John Edward's Convention speech:

So when you return home, you might pass a mother on her way to work the late-shift — you tell her... hope is on the way.

When your brother calls and says that he's working all the time at the office and still can't get ahead — you tell him... hope is on the way.

When your parents call and tell you their medical bills are through the roof — you tell them ...hope is on the way.

When your neighbor calls you and says that her daughter has worked hard and wants to go to college — you tell her... hope is on the way.

When you talk to your son or daughter who is serving this country and protecting our freedoms in Iraq — you tell them...hope is on the way.

Ronald Reagan Funeral

There will be a special funeral services at the Washington National Cathedral beginning at 11:30 am (EST) for Ronald Wilson Reagan.

Many businesses in Washington DC are closed today in remembrance of Ronald Reagan, or because they are along the procession route.

ABC news mentioned something interesting on Wednesday during the ceremony at the Capitol Building, most people are paying tribute for things that Ronald Reagan did after 70.

Just something to think about as you watch the funeral services this morning.

John Kerry Day

Today is John Kerry day in Massachusetts. At least that what Howie Carr of WRKO said this past Friday. Today is the first day that gay couples can legally can get a marriage license. However, state law requires three days between the license and the ceremony. Many couples are seeking an exception from the waiting perioid from a judge, which is fairly common.

What happens today and over the next few weeks in Massachusetts could have a big play on John Kerry in certain key states. I would expect that John Kerry would have a low profile.

Gas Update: I drove by the same station where I filled up my gas last week and regular Unleaded is now $2 a gallon!

John Kerry

While in Washington DC last week I had an interesting discussion with a person manning the Vietnam POW booth at the base of the Lincoln Memorial.

It turns out that not a lot of Vietnam Veterans like John Kerry because of his Military record. I argued that if you are against John Kerry then you would have to be in favor with George Bush, who's military record is currently being scrutinized.

The guy was selling a bumper sticker that pointed to this website:

Tomorrow is Super Tuesday, and John Kerry is expected to wrap up the nomination and mathematically eliminating John Edward's Presidential campaign.

Hidden Message

Did you know that George Bush thinks outsourcing US Jobs to foreign countries like India is good for the economy? Well its true!

"This week, Americans learned something important. Exporting jobs isn't an accident — it's administration policy," Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle, chief author of the Jobs for America Act, told reporters on Capitol Hill. 

Members of Congress put together the 'Jobs for America Act' in response to President Bush's annual economic report, released Monday, in which he highlighted the benefits of sending jobs to other countries.

Last Tuesday, Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry launched his attack against the president's call for outsourcing. 

“In their economic report, the Bush administration said that sending American jobs overseas is good for America and good for the economy. They've delivered a double blow to America's workers — 3 million jobs destroyed on their watch, and now they want to export more of our jobs overseas. What in the world are they thinking?"
