News. Faith. Nonsense.

Presidential "Foot in Mouth" Contest

I’m undecided on which Presidential candidate has placed more of their foot in their mouth than any other candidate. I thought John Edwards was winning – the man that described “Two Americas” getting a $400 haircut and showing which America he lives in.

But now I think John McCain has swallowed his foot all the way up to his ankle. The man who wants to be trusted to hold the nuclear suitcase is singing “Bomb, Bomb Iran.” If those were the two choices, I’d go with John Edwards, even if he did charge the haircuts to his campaign fund. And even if Edwards gets his makeup applied at the Pink Sapphire.

Who would you choose?

    I’m still wishing that “none of the above” will become an option on the ballot.

    If “Mr. Bean” were eligible, I’d vote for him.

    Hehe, here is a choice for you…. Michael Savage, talk show host, is thinking about running. How do you like that one?

    Eww. I’ve listened to Savage’s show once or twice, and I actually agree with many of his positions, but find him waaay to coarse and crude and offensive to listen to. It would take his opponents all of 3 seconds to find something he’s said to put his foot deep in his mouth.

    LOL, that was exactly my point. I personally agree with a lot of what he says, but don’t think he would last a minute in the world of politics. But hey, maybe coarse, crude, and offensive is what we need?

    Well, *I* don’t need it. 😛 But somebody sure needs it because he has a lot of listeners.

About Me

Michael, a sinner saved by grace, sharing what the good Lord has shared with me.

Solomon, in the book of Ecclesiastes, said, “I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”

If you’re not living for the glory of God, then what you’re doing is meaningless, no matter what it is. Living for God gives life meaning, and enjoying a “chasing after the wind” is a gift from God. I’m doing what I can to enjoy this gift daily.

Got questions? I’m not surprised. If you have any questions about Chasing the Wind, you can email me at chasingthewind@outlook.com.
