OK.

I had a home emergency and our able, reliable central air decided to demise.  To join the "air conditioning sky".

Yes, we tried everything, but to no avail had to replace the unit.

So, the icebergslim household have been hot as hell, dog not happy, staying in the lower level with the fan blasting, until our replacement unit arrived today.

Damn, wish I was back in the UP in Michigan...anyway, now I got to pause and read what the McCain Camp has hoped and wished for.

Obama plays the race card.  Jump, please.

I am confident in the abilities of Barack Obama.

I know that he intends to run an issue based campaign, one that many Americans are not used to.  I know that he will stand and let the public know his viewpoint, how he feels about the issues and if he differs, that is ok.  We all don't agree.

But, and I mean but, for John McCain going negative, early, don't sit on your laurels.

I don't know about you, but I am here to say, "ENOUGH, JUST ENOUGH".

Here is a man who had a courageous and well weathered time in the media.  We all know that Jackson is and never will be one to shy away from the spotlight.

Why?

It has always been his best friend, advocate until now.
