This post could have been about Sen. Larry Craig's refusal to resign from the Senate, or Al Gore's possible Nobel Prize nomination, or even Hillary Clinton's cleavage and giggle. However, I just had a nightmare of a morning.
What happened was one of my tires exploded as I was driving to class. Not only did I miss all of my Tuesday classes waiting at Pep Boys as unusually friendly mechanichs replaced my shredded tire, but my friend(whom I drop off work every morning) was an hour and a half late.
One may wonder why I would post such a story on my unambiguously political blog. I thought about it too. I remembered something Ralph Nader said a few years ago: "If you're not turned on to politics, politics will turn on you."
My father always reminded me that the now-blown-up was soft, and that I had to keep a close eye on it. I didn't see it as a big deal; I had too much going on with school and work to even care. Unfortunately, my neglect led to the demise of my tire.
Perhaps this metaphor can apply to the upcoming election. It would be irresponsible for us to ignore the issues of this very important contest; decisions made by the next president could very well effect my generation for years to come.
I hope voters stay alert this election, for all of our sakes.
Goodnight, and Goodluck.

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. (If he will be possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll I thankful, bye friend).
