Normally I do not do political stuff, but as you will soon find out 1) this election held a deeper under current 2) this really isn't political stuff.
Just to break the news..........O'Bama won the election. and yes that's right "O" apostrophe "bama." He is black Irish. No matter if you were for O'bama or MCCain (seriously what's with all the Irish dudes?) we can all take something away from this election. The restoration of a greater power. Yes, that's right the power of the all mighty Oprah. True Miss Winfrey has not really received much attention lately, and in fact her approval rated has plummeted to a meager 96.8% in the gallop polls. But it was all for her cause of her finally deciding to put a black man in the white house. She had to let Barack soar, using his winged-like ears, across America to spread his message of hope and change. (side note as an avid coin collector, i am certainly looking forward to all this change he is promising.......(I am hoping the Republicans are grasping the deeper economic meaning of that lame joke)) Yes I am fearful that much like how the pope controlled Kennedy, the Oprah will be controlling O'Bama. I am foreseeing O'Bama's reign to be full of book clubs, handy new favorite gadgets, and loads of free things like, "everbody! EVERYBODY, check under your seats......HEALTH INSURANCE!!!!!!! WHOOP!WHOOP! HEALTH INSURANCE! HEALTH INSURANCE!!!!" I am also imagining a new healthier America that eats very well and starts to exercise more, however, I am also thinking around year one and a half we will all abandon these efforts and balloon back up to being the fattest country again, only to loose it all again around year 3. Yes, education is going to get better and our foreign policy with be even more generous with our money lending efforts. Let's just hope number 44 doesn't get thrown out of an elegant French fashion store while on a visit. Speaking of Barack being number 44, just want to point out that baseball is way ahead of the game yet again. Jackie Robinson, totally number 42. By these standards, the future holds some roided up pres-es who will be setting unprecedented records. Arnold 2016? Govinator to Presinator. (of course we will have passed a law saying that foreigners can actually get the presidency). Well congrats to those who voted for O'Bama. For those who voted for McCain, look on the bright side, not only will the economy go up as John will return home and be coerced into pyramid schemes and crazy products by swindlers taking advantage of the elderly, but Russia will remain at bay with Palin with one eye on them (the other is on a bear, because it certainly is not on her pregnant, teenage daughter (side note: anyone else find it ironic that Juno is not only the capital of Alaska but a movie about teen pregnancy?))

Dirty Jobs Set to Release Unaired Segment
Discovery Channel’s Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe has been grossing out, appalling, and entertaining television audiences since 2005. During its three year run, we have seen the show’s host learn the arts of everything from a livestock inseminator to a roadkill taxidermist, leaving us complaining about our jobs and career paths just a little bit less. Dirty Jobs has become one of Discovery Channel’s highest rated shows and is now set to release a “best of” DVD on Thursday. However, controversy has erupted over the DVD as it includes never before seen episode, Clydesdales, Gators, and FEMA, in which the shows charismatic host, Mike Rowe, acquires a job at FEMA working as an organizer for Hurricane Katrina relief. Discovery Channel, however, banned the segment from airing on its November 4, 2005 release, claiming this job was just too controversial and emotional so soon after the catastrophe. Discovery did allow the show to air the other segments of the show, in which Mike works as a care taker at Anheuser Busch St. Louis Clydesdales Stables and as a “tagger” of the endangered American Alligator in the Florida Everglades. Rowe said of the episode, “I really should have done those jobs in reverse, because after handling those things a guy really needs a beer.” And as far as his work as a FEMA organizer, “Well most of the jobs I go to, I tend to slow things down, but the way they were going I think I could have put up a fight for employee of the month.” FEMA has released a statement about the segment saying, “This episode will reveal many of the problems and difficulties we had to deal with, and it should shed light on how we did our best in trying to provide relief for the victims of Katrina.” The DVD has also made it into the presidential race as in the latest debate both Senators McCain and Obama referred to the controversial segment and the problems the Bush Administration. Senator Obama brought up the subject saying, “What happened in New Orleans was unacceptable, and I will provide the change this country needs.” Senator McCain later referred to the show saying, “My economic plan will help though individuals that Mike the TV Host works with.” Though Rowe may have not actually gotten physically dirty in this segment, it goes without saying that is was and is the “dirtiest” job he has had to do.
