Twins Baseball

I grew up in Minneapolis and am a Twins fan. I'm not to encouraged by what I see this year. The bullpen has given up the last two game in the eighth inning to the Detroit Tigers. This was my saving grace this year. The bullpen was supposed to be one of if not the best in baseball. With the lack of run production, Hunter gone and Cuddyer on the DL, the bullpen has to hold a lead if they get one. Hernandez has looked good as a possible replacement for Santana but I don't think this will last.
The Twins are my last hope for my Minnesota sports scene. I don't want to talk about the Vikings of Timberwolves and nobody south of St Paul really care about hockey, so the Twins are it. Its a shame that Hunter left via free agency with nothing in return, but I think the foundation is still there. I guess that at least they are not returning any time soon to the mid to late 90s form, but I was hoping for a little more.

Food Burning an other liberal bad ideas.

We have food riots going on around the world. We have this nutty idea to burn our food as fuel here in the good 'ole USA! Great. Or insane? I think and have thought that ethanol is such a horrible idea and no good at stopping the imagined problem of global warming. We take a food crop, subsidize it, call it the answer and then starve the world because our food acreage is going to grow subsidized corn. We have imported wheat for the first time ever! We now have to tap into foreign food that would be headed for third world countries because we have 10% ethanol in our gas. What the crap are we thinking? Do you think that the world hates us now, wait until we are starving the rest of the planet to drive our suvs and cars!
We have the oil and coal to fuel us for many many decades to come. The market will find a solution to our problems with energy much faster than our monkeys in Washington ever will. When will we wake up and realize that these people do not EVER make anything better. They may put a duct tape band-aid on it, but rip off 10 times the skin when its time to remove it.
I do not believe in man made global warming, but living in North Dakota, I would welcome it.

Gun Toting, faith grabbing, illigal immigrant hating hayseed.

I guess that according to Obama, I fit the description above. I live in North Dakota, so I guess that I was who Obama was talking about when he described that person at a fund raiser with the super-rich in San Fransisco. Is Obama really that far off base with middle America? Obama says I climg to my guns and God because government does not do anything to help. I think that I may cling to my guns when government does come to help because of the destruction that government usually leaves behind, despite their intentions.
I was not going to vote for Obama to begin with, not because of his race, but because of his policies. I now do not think, as a result of statements like this and of his pastor for 20 years, that Obama has the country's best interests at hand. I do agree with him that we do need change, but I have a feeling that we would be polar opposites on exactly what changes we do need. I think that we need to change the wave of big government and selling out our sovereignty. We need to get away from government pacts like the UN and NATO. These only serve to take away our freedoms and liberties that are guaranteed by the Constitution.
What Obama fails to realize is that the mid-America that he trashes is what makes the country go. The majority of the food that feeds the nation comes from the "bread basket" of the nation. It is on the backs of the middle class, that Obama seems to hoist the middle finger at, that the United States became great. I can not believe that a candidate is seriously being considered with these views of the values the America were founded on.
