8:20p - if a door close, then a road for home start building
Now that I am buying 1/4 watermelons & cutting them up myself, instead of buying pre-cut, I can tell you that my child eats over 1/2 of a watermelon all by himself each week.
Am I alone in wondering why McCain and Obama worry so much about saying things that might alienate the hardcore party members? I mean what's a crazy right wing Republican going to do if McCain says something he doesn't like? Vote for Obama? And vice versa, a bleeding heart lefty liberal feels that Obama's views on one thing or another are too conservative...he's going to vote for McCain? Not vote? If it was me, I'd be a lot more worried about reaching out to the people who aren't committed to either party, and less worried about offending those who will probably vote along party lines regardless.
I was listening to Don Cheadle on Fresh Air today on my walk, and he said something about being a celebrity activist. In his case it was for Darfur, but it applies to many causes. He attributed a quote to Brad Pitt that was "We can't get out of the spotlight & these people can't get into it." and went on to say that he felt it was his duty as someone in the spotlight to share it with these people who so desperately needed and deserved the world's attention.
I thought he made an excellent point. I like him so much, both as an actor and a person. Though I hear his new film is kind of bad.
