In honor of Valentine’s Day this week, here’s a poem I wrote, although not romantic.

Blogs are read,

blogs can be blue.

People are parked,

how bout you?

For months I have been listening to the same words over and over - “Change we can believe in”. Quite frankly it sounds like a Sunday sermon and not a political direction. So if you really have been paying attention then you know that Hillary has been talking about change too. The difference is, her change comes with experience, actions and a long history of accomplishments that have made change happen.

The truth is, I don’t want another inexperienced, learn on the job President like George Bush. If you have read any of these previous posts then you know what I think of him and what he’s done to the country.

The truth is, I don’t want an orator. I want someone who can and has done it. Someone who can turn the economy around, get us out of the money pit in Iraq, restore our greatness abroad and take care of the folks at home.

The truth is a woman as President is real change. If you elect another man your not talking change, but more of the same “good ole boys” in power.

The truth is I want a leader! I’m voting for Hillary!

With the Superbowl being over and we won’t say another word about it (for now at least), on to Super Tuesday. Found a great article, “Goodbye To All That (#2) by Robin Morgan” at http://www.womensmediacenter.com/ex/020108.html. Basically, it says goodbye to all the double standards that Hillary Clinton faces as she runs for President. All the supposedly funny good ol’ boy jokes would not be tolerated if they were directed at Obama in a racist way. There would be public outrage as there should be, but strong women can be called “bitches” and that outrages me.

The truth is that Hilary Clinton is the best qualified candidate from either party and will make a great President, woman or not.

I’m speechless and depressed today after the Patriots loss.  Have no words as to what happened.  Both teams played hard, but the Giants played harder.  Eli was impressive.

Disappointed, but still a Patriots fan forever.   They gave us a great season.

Saw this great video on YouTube. Turn it up! Go Pats!!!

Found this nice little browser tip on Twitter, so wanted to pass it along.

How many martinis are safe to have? I assume it would differ with body size and weight, but I heard a general rule that seems appropriate. Actually, my uncle told me this cute little saying awhile ago.

Martinis are like boobs.
One is not enough.
Three are too many.
And two are just right.

Makes sense, I guess. In fact, I know of someone who got really parked by not following this rule, recently. Oh well, live and learn.

I love the Patriots and the chance to see them make history by going 19-0 would be better than fantastic. I can’t afford the astronomical prices for tickets, airfare from Boston, hotel, food, etc. The prices are so parked. I’ve entered every contest I could find to win Superbowl packages, so am keeping my fingers crossed, but chances aren’t good.

Would love to watch it in Arizona - what a great venue, and warm compared to these New England winters. If anyone has any extra tickets, feel free to let me know… I know, wishful thinking. Otherwise, there’s nothing like home sweet home, fireplace going, cold brewski’s and good food. Still, I really want Superbowl tickets!

Did you know that potential employers seek information about you by doing an internet search? They may find your Facebook or MySpace pages very interesting. Not only do they seek to know your habits, preferences, background etc., but also who is associated with you. These seemingly harmless entries can actually work against you. It may not be fair or ethical, but it happens.

What can you do? Google yourself from time to time. See what comes up for your name, because that is what the rest of the world can potentially see. Take a look at your Facebook or MySpace profiles and think of what you wouldn’t want a potential employer to know about you. Pictures also speak a thousand words, so make sure they are appropriate also.

First impressions mean a lot in gaining employment, and you may not realize that yours was already given before meeting in person.

This is one of the few political races in which the process so far has been pretty calm. For the most part all the candidates have been talking about the issues, but I fear that, that will not last. Everyone on both the republican and democratic sides have been pretty good, but the race is so close that someone soon is going to play the “dirty” card. We all know them as the attack ads put out by some far right or far left, my way or no way mentality. You know - the ones that the candidates deny any affiliation to.

The republicans started it in Iowa with Romney’s negative ads on Huckabee and lost. I just think that Romney changes his position on too many issues, says what he needs to say to get your vote and then doesn’t give a hoot. As for the race in South Carolina, it looks so undecided that it’s only a question of time before the mud starts slinging. Weren’t they saying stuff about McCain and his service in Vietnam just the other day? Doesn’t anyone have a sense on integrity?

As for the Democrats, well Obama and Clinton are still sparring. This looks like it might be a “good” race to the end as neither seems to be tossing mud. Instead there seems to be a good game of one-upmanship going on. Clinton upset him in New Hampshire and scored a point. Where Obama just scored a point when he got Nevada to allow culinary union workers to caucus on the Vegas strip. The fact that same union endorsed him doesn’t hurt.

And what’s up with John Edwards? Every time he talks he sounds angry and mad at the world. And if he’s not sounding angry then he’s “gushing” about something Obama did or said. Yet, every time he talks about Clinton the “madness” rears it’s ugly head. I don’t know - the guy must have issues.

So, where does that put us? Not sure, but I’m having fun watching!
