THE LEGEND OF THE OX

By tomorrow next, Mr. Barrack Hussein Obama would be sworn in as the 44th president of the greatest democratic country in the world. This inauguration in historical sense has profound significance. He was born on August 4, 1961. Year of the Ox. In Chinese Lunar Calendar 2009 also happened to be the year of the ox.

He really come full circle and destiny is well written over it. Let's welcome the new era!

WHAT'S IN A NAME?

Now that the greatest democratic country in the world elected their 44th president, I the globewatcher, is now going to break my silence over these tedious electoral process. Like so many others, I'm NOBAMA's fan. I am so much more of Senator Hillary R. Clinton fan. Honestly, I'm very much skeptical should Mr. Barack Obama leads America. He worries me. But judging from what transpired today across United States of America; and seeing millions and millions of people ever so jubilant for Mr. Obama means a lot. The chanting of his name is so profound and cannot be denied. This has become an aspiration of this country and its like invoking god's name O-BA-MA...O-BA-MA! It's indeed an American Revolution.

But what's in a name? I promised Philadelphia Queen, my correspondence, that I'd pull my weight on all of these after the election. So here it goes:

B-lue Democrat
A-frican-American
R-edistributionist?
A-rticulate Audacious Alternative
C-hange the world needs; Camelot?
K-enya's and Kansas's son; Kennedy, Ted's pick

H-ope; Historical; Honolulu Hawaiian born
U-nited States of America's Unimaginable Transformationist
S-hift of Consiousness or Socialist?
S-logan: Yes We Can!
E-loquent statesman, Embodiment of genuine democratic country.
I-con of the Internet; Inclusive.
N-ew World Leader, Natal date: August4,1961

O-prah's Choice
B-lacks' Pride; Biden's boss; Bush-wacker
A-spiration of the Nation
M-artin Luther King's Dream, Michelle's labidabs
A-an American Revolution

R.W.B. & ALL AMERICAINS

The pervasive invasion of CNN in our household is nothing to be desired. This Globe Watcher is merely becoming his departed bau-ji, RIP, in terms of his entertainment. Watching political conventions south of the border is really fascinating. And last night's RNC, Republican National Convention, showed me John McCain and his running mate in a new light in contrast to his presidential democrat nominee, Barrack Obama and Joe Biden.

I am no pundit nor care much about this les Americains eliront, but history is unfolding before my very eyes, and I was glued once again with these politician's speeches meeches. And from it I easily deduce the tough choices I must consider if I were an American.

J.ust Statesman
O.ld servant soldier
H.umble hero
N.uovo Reformiste
M.averick
C.onservative (left leaning republican)
C.hange is coming
A.merican fighter
I.nspiring?
N.ationalist

S.ultry
A.laskan
R.edneck reformer?
A.rbiter, alternative
H.unter, hockey mama
P.ro Life
A.nchor-woman
L.ipsticked glow (read it)
I.ngenue?
N.o nonsense pitbull!

Thank goodness I am not an American for in November election the choices are tough as nails and contentious. Don't forget that my handpicked for this, Hillary Clinton, is sadly, out and done.

YES WE CAN!

Si Se Puede!
Oo Pedeng pede!
O ye pedemos!
Wen mayat ketdin
Nagmayat wen!
Si, si puo
Oui nous pouvons
Ja wir konnen
Si Che possiamo
Sim Poderemos
Oui on peut!

An Obama presidency would present a distinctly American face, a man of African descent, born in the nation's youngest state, with a childhood spent in Asia, among Muslims. No public relation campaign could do more than Obama's mere presence in the White House, to diffuse anti-American passion around the world, nor could any political experience surpass Obama's life story in preparing a president to understand the American character. ---gullam20

In the language of metaphor, Clinton is an essay, solid and reasoned, Obama is poem, lyric and filled with possibilities. Clinton would be a valuable and competent executive. But Obama matches her in substance and adds something that the nation is needing for far too long-- a sennse of aspiration.

CRIS CROCKER'S VALENTINE MESSAGE

MESSAGE FROM CRIS CROCKER AND I SECOND THE MOTION...LET'S SEE IF SENATOR HILLARY CLINTON CAN PICK-UP MORE VOTES AFTER THIS COZ SERIOUSLY I'M SO NERVOUS FOR HER RIGHT NOW NOT CLINCHING THE PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY ALL THE WAY TO NOVEMBER ELECTION. IF THIS STILL DON'T WORK...WATCH FOR MY WILD CARD... IT WOULD CROCK BARRACK NOBAMA!

DEADLY TORNADOES

Scary times upon American mid-south...Oh Dorothy where art thou! Click your heels and come back, wont you? Coz there's no place like home...ders noh pleys layk om!

CLINT O'H BUMMER

So the race is on, south of the border eh? No matter who wins the USA presidential election, one thing is sure, that its gonna be a candidate from the liberal. How Democrat? That's the big if on the equation. As long as white elephant never trampled back into Casa Blanco, I know who is going to be happy to see that day. After all, Bush and his cohorts had their share of power already and their days are now numbered. Its time for a new era. Government is just in cycle, and whoever is in the throne, I don't see so much hope for the future. Its all the same ball crap.

But my Dad is now gone. He's no longer around to watch and relish the excitement of this presidential race. He'd been following this contest since Kennedy. And the guy leader named after a vacuum machine. Even when we were still on the other side of the continent. President after president came and went: Nixon, Carter, Ford, Reagan, Clinton. Bush, Bush (not necessary in that order). They've all passed and gone although some still linger around. My Dad was attune to CNN. He was more American, than Canadian in terms of viewing channel.

So nowadays, the heat is on about choosing presidential candidate on primary level, right? Who shall prevail? Barbra or Oprah? Err a woman or Obama? Clinton or a Black man? Hillary or Barrack? No matter how you put it, race and gender is in the cards! And America is in for a grueling but exciting fight to the finish. And the world, PRAY, will still be the same.

THE IDIOT BOX

I don't know about you, but I'm not really a fan of any t.v. programs except one or two. There's nothing on television that really get my attention nowadays. And I hate watching, period! And I don't care what's the latest fad or craze which i could get anyway via web surfing. The cable and any network shows, to me are plain dumb. Dumb as a big bell dangling that rat's assess especially this Chinese new year. Year of the Rat. Was it coincidence that American economy is somewhat downhill? At least they could blame this to the unlucky(?) sign of the rodent. Or maybe because of Bush who for all intent and purposes decided to take care of the slumping American business too late. And that all over the world is being felt like a rippling wave effect. Welcome to Black Monday. Up here, their neighbor to the north, Harper is soh nervous that he's actually watching the cousin-brother Bush about the inevitable crash or decline of their empire. My assessment may sound harsh but let's be serious here, ok? I think I know enough what I'm saying is true because after all, I'm still contributing to this economy err falling economy or what's left of it.

Notice how even aliens are visiting Texas these days, that several unidentified flying spacecraft were spotted hovering? And in an instant go pffp!! Gone...Hhhmm... What could be the reasons besides warning us for impending doom. The globe is probably being prepared for a new beginning, a new presidency or better yet a new television blockbusters. Remember American screenwriters are yet to come back from their strike. T.V host Jay Leno seemed to be the catalyst for the writers' association for finally coming to their senses. But until then I'd settle watching a fireplace on my idiot box. And if I grew tired of this ridiculous concept, I might as well flip it to frequency or amplitude channels. At least here, they're showing a rising scales or whatever that is that surely is the envy of dwindling stock markets.
