We are about two weeks out from the nation's vote-a rama for the next President of the United States. At this point, we are seeing the most vile, personal assaults, regurgitated rhetoric and the underbelly of the bloodsport of American politics. It's akin to those Roman gladiator games where everything it unleashed into the area in search of a kill. Yet, we persevere as this race for the White House ends on November 5. I hope you are ready, because it's time to "take it to the streets," my peeps. Early voting has started and I hope that you will get busy to the polls. In the meantime, before and after I vote, I'll be here in the Big Chair bringing you our special brand of breaking news, updates, links, mash up and kitchen sink if necessary. I'm asking are you ready?...then let's go get em!

nes for O: Last week I stated that I would be participating in Phone for Obama campaign at the local HQ. I did so and what a interesting task this was, as I canvassed undecided voters or possible voters in the big battleground of Missouri. For the most part, it was a great exercise in doing my civic duty for the candidate of my choice. To my surprise I only got a few rude folks, but most were receptive to my prepared message and actually,"thanked" me for calling. Sitting adjacent to myself was local entertainer, Drew Pritt whom was in another round of making calls for the campaign. I was glad to know that perhaps we have some community members who are coming out to participate in the process. If you have time donate it to the campaign of your choice, also Team O has many volunteer opportunities on their website.
