Something majestic from today:  I took off from Lexington around 630 and got the amazing opportunity to drive home into the sunset.  Thankfully I never drove due west so I wasn’t blinded, so I was able to witness the amazing sight of a sunset in God’s country, the 270.  When I pulled off I-65 at Smith’s Grove, with the sun setting in front of me and Daughtry’s “Home” playing on the CD player, I figured life could not get more magical than that.

Also, I saw today that Barack Obama is considering sponsoring a car for NASCAR’s August race in Pocono.  Well besides wondering how much Obama has in common with NASCAR, I must say this is a good way for him to get my vote.  People will automatically see how Obama is trying to connect with the southern white voter by playing with NASCAR here, but consider just which race he’s looking to get involved.  Pocono is of course in Pennsylvania, which always plays out to be one of those critical states the candidate must win to become President.  Well played Mr. Obama.  I look forward to seeing how Mr. Stewart and Mr. Colbert react to this news.
