The First of Many (well hopefully)

So I can tell you I know maybe 2 people who will read this on a regular basis and others may drag along in the far out future so lets see where we can take it!

You should find a wide range of items on my blog. From sports to religion to politics. I think I've seen enough and done enough to know a little about the world we live in. And hell if not isn't that what Blogs are for.. Free Speech right? Well maybe in your world but I'm pretty sure its making its way out like the Dallas Cowboys.

I was reading today where a Muslim man was asked to remove his shirt with Arabic writing before boarding an airplane. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20090106/ts_alt_afp/ustransportairsecuritymuslimsrights_090106002219
He of course like any good hot coffee spilling American would do, sue the hell out of the Airline. And was awarded 240,000 for his cotton tirade.

So I will take you on a little trip of my own, a few months back I wore a Barack Obama shirt to my former career as a glorified receptionist (as I like to call it, I was the PR rep and Event Coordinator but answered more phones than "ma bell") So I come in wearing my shirt for our future President, supporting America and my right to vote and my right to what? Freedom of Speech? "Oh no not here Mr. Larkin you need to change, remove that shirt at once. You can't have an opinion or a voice" But I will tell you this fellow "Changers" if I would have been wearing a McCain shirt I would have been carried around the office considering my boss had her Elephant pinned high and proud. (Did I mentioned I had already put my two weeks notice in and was already leaving for another job)  

So could I have received my 240,000 dollar check as well? I guess I will just keep my mouth shut and respect my own decisions considering I knew what I was doing when I got dressed that morning. I'm a proud American and hadn't been that proud to vote in well since I was eighteen when I helped elect Bush.. What a mistake I made. I was young and influential!!

My blog begins I hope you do find it amusing at the very least.
