THIS IS THE DAY...

TOP 10 THINGS I LEARNED FROM THIS ELECTION CYCLE:

10. People will do anything to win.

9. Tina Fey is a comedic genius.

8. Limericks using “Obama” can be fun (“Homearama”… yo momma…).

7. Jesus would not be a Democrat OR a Republican.

6. Objectivity in the media cannot be assumed.

5. No party has a true grasp of all that encompasses social justice.

4. “Feminism” does not mean “in support of all women.”

3. People need to pray for our nation more than once every 4 years.

2. Most people don’t know how to respect those with whom they disagree.

And for this playful artist…

1. Both Presidential and ‘Veep’ candidates will be fun to caricature over the next 4 years!


As this election cycle closes, I find myself thankful that it’s over, weary of what it entailed, and hopeful for what is to come – and that’s regardless of whom I voted for. Two years for a campaign is too much… too much money, too much mudslinging, and too much manipulation. Each campaign attempts to manipulate us by promoting desired images, but not necessarily reality. Last I could tell, neither the Messiah, the anti-Christ, nor “George W” was running; neither Biden nor Palin was an idiot; and no administration has been a complete failure.

Let’s move ahead, being respectful of our leaders. Let’s get rid of using the word “hate.” And let’s engage in respectful dialogue in this country, remembering above all else that we pledge ourselves to be one nation under God, with liberty and justice for all.

Time to run… need to find that sketch pad…
