2008 Presidential Candidate Calculator

With so many candidates running for president and the media's treatment like the race has been on for a year now I (Melissa) have been left wondering who I really agree with. Attributed to my hippie nature I generally vote Democrat. However, I really wasn't sure who fit my views since the race has been more about who can trash the other candidate than what their vision for America is. So when Aunt Judie sent me the link below I thought this should be interesting.

Appearantly, I really am a Democrat when you look at the results. The list is split in half. The top half of the matches are all Democrat and the bottom are all Republican. However, I was quite surprised that Dennis Kucinich was my closest match. Who the heck is he?! I mean I know the name, but know nothing about him...until now. I guess we agree 77.55% of the time. That is pretty neat. Also who is Mike Gravel? No, really I've never heard of him.

I guess I also have to hope that Fred Thompson doesn't get into office or I will only be happy with one quarter of what he does.

Pictures from Michigan

A Blessing or A Curse?

For Ben's birthday I bought him photography classes. He was very excited and now I don't know what his face looks like without a camera stuck in it. The photo quality in our library has certainly increased tremendously. However, I can't seem to take him anywhere without that camera. A few of my favorites are below.
