Above my pay grade...

mmmm - how many times could you use that in your life? How many times when your boss walks into your office and asks you to do something - how many times could you get away with saying "It's above my pay grade." How many times could you or I get away with saying that and NOT lose our jobs??

How would you think of your neighbor if they took their new born baby and laid it out in the front yard to not be watched, looked after - anything? How many times do you see pregnant women smoking and it just pisses you off? How about drinking? Oh wait - the drugs. We just don't care if a pregnant women smokes some crack while that baby is growing right??

I really try to not get political but I'm sorry. I have to now for a few minutes and maybe a few blogs. They will come far and few between because I really don't know that much about the politics of this big country. I can't stand to sit and listen to the empty promises, the lies, the pretty pictures they all want to paint for us - sucking us in... I hate this time of every 4 years.. but... I have to say... this time - I'm a little into it. I love the fact that I'm alive to see history take place. I love the fact we have a beauty queen who carries a baseball bat and isn't afraid to use it if needed on the ticket for vice president.

However - back to the reason this blog entry was started.... After watching the Rick Warren Saddleback Church debate with Obama and McCain... Rick asked a question about when a baby is entitled to rights?

McCain's immediate answer... conception.

Obama's answer... It's above my pay grade...

WHAT???

Ok - now - granted - he has a lot more he said and I'm taking 5 words out of his whole explaination - however - did anyone else realize that he talked A LOT more through his interview at each question????

Maybe it's because I'm old now but I'm thinking this election is going to be pretty interesting.....

pretty darn interesting....
