as many of you know, i supported mike huckabee for president during the primaries.

he has since started huck pac, a site devoted to trying to bring the issues forward in this campaign.
some of the topics he would like america to discuss on what he is calling "vertical day" are...

• how would you control spending in washington?

• how would you make america energy independent?

• what would you do to improve our education system?

• what would you do to improve our health care system?

• what sort of tax reform do you think america needs to boost our economy?

• what steps would you take to promote conservation and good stewardship of the environment?

my own thoughts are i think we should get energy independent as quick as we can by whatever means we as a great country have. the ideas are here. the people are here. get government out of the way and let's get america on the problem.

so let's start chatting and please do go visit the huck pac site and help mike huckabee discuss our country's issues. who else wants to help get this word out?

ok, so here's the question...has the new yorker magazine gone too far in the cover image for the current issue?

the cover depicts barack obama in a robe and turban and his wife michelle obama with a huge afro haircut and a machine gun slung over her shoulder.

there is also an inside story in the new yorker magazine about barack obama's political upbringings in chicago from 1995 on.

so what do you think about the new yorker's choice of putting this cartoon on the cover?
