Just a quick political rant for today. I just saw that Obama and McCain have spent a combined total of $94 MILLION on their campaigns just last month. Just please pause for a moment to absorb that news, I'll wait............
If a candidate wants to show he or she cares, I can think of ways that money can be better spent. Of course the election is important, don't get me wrong but this is record spending and it's ludicrous. Give some of that money to charity for God's sake. Sure, make a show of it if it helps your campaign but at least do something GOOD with that money. Divide it up among charities, start a scholarship, do something GOOD, but to waste it all on a campaign in a single month is disgusting.
Off my soapbox and on to celebrate the rest of my birthday weekend.
