being mindful

I thought this was witty.

climate: sunny, low 60's
shoes: blue and grey flips
ipod: rolling stones
vote obama and not the GOP because: energy safety. Lets talk about nuclear (pronounced new-clee-her). During that last debate McCrafty said:

Now, how -- what's -- what's the best way of fixing it? Nuclear power. Sen. Obama says that it has to be safe or disposable or something like that. Look, I -- I was on Navy ships that had nuclear power plants. Nuclear power is safe, and it's clean, and it creates hundreds of thousands of jobs. And -- and I know that we can reprocess the spent nuclear fuel. The Japanese, the British, the French do it. And we can do it, too. Sen. Obama has opposed that.

I would like you to focus your attention on the italicized sentence, "safe or disposable, or something like that." What? Wait- is he making light of Obama's desire to ensure that nuclear power should be safe? I think he is! I sense sarcasm! You know, that's nothing to poo-poo about. He's old enough to remember Three Mile Island, where a nuclear reactor melted and released enough radon into the environment that the soil still to this day has excessively high amounts of radon and is considered a brown-field site by the EPA. And I should hope he can also recall a little thing the Soviet Union went through called Chernobyl, where an entire city had to be evacuated due to the nuclear fallout. And I KNOW Palin knows where that is because she's so close to Russia!
Is nuclear power a bad thing? No! It could actually be a good thing, and both candidates recognize that. But McCain's clear distaste for government regulations could lead to lax safety precautions and next thing you know, we all have cancer. And if you follow this blog, you'll recall that with McCain's health care reform proposal, we can't afford cancer. And a nuclear blow out would surely melt our popsicles.
Oh, and one last thing about nuclear power. Its big. Really really big. A nuclear power plant would need a lot of space to house all the cooling ponds and crap. And you know where they have space? (Cue soundtrack to Oklahoma). The midwest. So to all you republicans out there in the red midwest states, think about it because voting for McCancer could be voting for an unsafe nuclear power plant in your backyard.
