Endorse this!





Dear Prospective President:


I want you to be human. I am not stupid, I know that you are not perfect. I don't need you to be, because I am not. Now I could be mistaken but I believe that you as president are supposed to represent the typical American Citizen. No one is asking you to play God. No one is asking you to be a bully. No one is asking you to make promises you can't keep.


I respond to honesty. I respond to hard work. I respond to smiles when you are happy, and tears when you are sad. I respond to you working hard for me and in turn I will work hard for us. I do not respond to celebrity endorsements. For goodness sakes I have enough proactiv, wheaties, nikes, etc hanging out in my cabinets. I don't respond to empty promises or kissing babies. I just want you to give it to me straight. I need you to help me understand the economy and society we have become. I need to know that if at any point you feel like you ethics are being tested you will not take the easy way out because the country with the check in their hand asking you to ignore that voice in your head. Because Mr/Mrs Prospective President...that voice is me and my peers. We are not dumb people because we don't see ourselves fit to run our country. We are armed forces, engineers, architects, entertainers, bankers, miners, farmers, mechanics, students, mothers, fathers, teachers, nurses, doctors, CEO's, we are the people that believed you were fit to run our country. Believe in us and we will believe in you.


Sincerely,


Whit


P.S. We need dark to appreciate night. We need bitter to taste sweet. We need differnce to appreciate likeness. We need liberals to appreciate conservative. We need Republican to appreciate Democrat. This is our flaw as humans. But God blessed us with the ability to reason and compromise. The answer isn't ever black or white.

Purple and Gold

Red and Gray....they represent the Bold and the Neutral to me and never will represent Ohio. What is a buckeye anywho?

Being ill-equipped in my football knowledge and never cocky enough to pretend like I know I shall list! I shall list and use the words of those that can fake football knowledge better than I, those sweet folks at ESPN:

5. Sweater-vests...come one... "If you see a silver helmet and a sweater vest coming, contact authorities. "

4. A bean really that is your mascot...the fighting beans. Okay I have nothing to back this up, I just pose the questions, who is frightened by a bean?

3. 10-0...no problem...3 games prior all wins, Florida, Auburn, Alabama and now the 4th and final, Ohio.

2. Home is where the ring is. "He's stuck here," Coleman said. "We got him a ring now."

1. After the game, just inside the locker-room door, there stood Dorsey, Sharpie in hand, signing the backs of LSU jerseys worn by his coaches' sons. Dorsey, towering over Omari Porter, the young son of assistant head coach Larry Porter, bellowed, "What's up, dawg? We champs, huh?"
