Happy New Year!

Welcome to 2008. Time to set those resolutions in stone. It will be an interesting presidential election-school board election-leap year. Here’s my forecast for 2008:

The presidential election will come down to Rudy vs. Obama. America needs leadership, and Rudy is the most proven candidate. Mitt will get caught up in some bad business deal, but will stick with the primary process to the end. Hillary will get sidetracked with another one of Bill’s bimbo eruptions, stand by her man like she did the last time, and Hillary’s publicity team will be too busy doing damage control to actually promote what Hillary stands for, which we still do not know.

There will be some new faces on the Baraboo School Board come April. Locals are fed up with the school board’s coddling of the administration and lack of leadership by both the board and admin. In an effort to bolster the perception of board leadership, the board will officially serve district superintendent Lance Alwin with a notice of non-renewal of his contract in February. The BNR will run another award-winning photo of Mary Ann sobbing.

Being the visionary, Alwin has already seen the writing on the wall. Later this month, Alwin will be announced as one of the finalists for superintendent of the Madison School District, replacing Art Rainwater. Alwin will ask to be excused from his contract early. His wish will be regrettably granted by the current school board, with kudos and back slapping all around for Alwin’s positive accomplishments during his tenure at Baraboo. This will last about 10 seconds and include several lengthy, silent pauses.

Parents, teachers, and community members will cheer quietly to themselves at the news – followed by a prayer that the new school board doesn’t make the same stupid mistakes twice when hiring a new superintendent.

What’s the greatest thing about time? Time changes everything.

2008 will be a great year. Make the most of it. Happy New Year!

I want Change! Not only or the USA but for the world.

'If Hilary Wins..' it will change the world significantly. The president of the most powerful nation on earth - A WOMAN! would change the psyche of women all over. We know women is the key to change in the world.

"when a mom says to a child, all can grow up to be prseident it would now be true"

The men who now keep women in servitrude throughout the world must now take stock for the most 'powerful being' is a woman. They must deal with her. This fact alone would change their system, - more than the attempt to democratize. Woman power is the most powerful weapon against poverty & for democracy.

The whole world may simply change for the better, or at least how women are treated in mid & east, Africa, eastern europe and here in the west, the USA. Now that would be change!

If Obama wins .... I would be very happy, fantsatically proud, as a black man and I believe he would be wonderful at building the political scene of the USA - a very good president, The black race would be very proud, and the folks who want to keep women in their place would be relieved. The impact on the world would be so so. He still has time .. VP and President in 8 years.

The world would change with Hilary as president. Women hopefully will see this & endorse her. Western and American men has sure made a mess of the world to date.

I think right now a woman president may be more important than a first Black President.

Hillary this time.
