I had hoped I would meet Tony Snow one day. In fact, I was certain I would, and soon. Unfortunately, his cancer had other plans. Have you ever felt that even though you've never met a person, you were absolutely certain that person was a cool guy? Well, take 10 minutes, watch this video, and get a glimpse of Tony Snow. For me, he was one of those cool guys. Whether you agreed with his politics or not, he was a joy to watch and listen to. His demeanor was infectious.

If someone were to ask me what got me interested in politics and the workings of America, I don’t know if I could exactly pinpoint the cause. I’ve had some people tell me I’m weird, which may be true, because I really do ingest an unhealthy amount of news in a day. But, I figure that makes more sense than babbling on and on about who might win American Idol. Besides, I’m fairly certain that show is fixed, so I really have no interest in it. If I want to watch fixed competition, I’ll watch WWE, because I know WWE is fixed, and WWE makes no effort to hide the fact that it’s fixed. Wow. Think about what I just inferred. WWE is a compass for honest television programming in America. Oops. Sidetracked. I'll get back on schedule, here:

Recently, actor Tom Hanks endorsed Barack Obama for President. He’s a Hollywood power player, so it shouldn’t surprise me. After all, The Democrats are the party of the Rich and elite, no matter what they try to tell us. However, I was a bit shocked by it, considering Mr. Hanks last project was the HBO Miniseries “John Adams”, the biographical account of the progenitor of our nation who later became the second president of the United States. Maybe I’m alone, but I find it a bit odd for someone to feel passionately enough about a small government conservative like John Adams to produce a 10 hour miniseries about him, and then turn around and endorse a big-government socialist like Barack Obama. That would be like me producing a Ken Burns–length epic on FDR. I’d sooner hang myself with barbed wire. I’d never do it. I’d feel so dirty.
