Just in care you missed, the beginning of this series of posts starts with my preamble,
The past few weeks, I dissected the Republican and Democratic Party Platforms.
Just so I can keep everything straight, I put the information into a simple chart, like I would for corporate goals. This is also the way CoCo’s Individual Education Plans got laid out, too. Pretty easy to understand; I think: We will______________ by_____________ so that______________ happens. I added a column for how the action will be financed, too. Sadly that’s pretty empty.
You can find my other installments here:
Installment #1: It’s all about the Jobs and the Economy
Installment #2: The Democrats and Principled Centered Leadership
Installment #3: The Republicans and the Constitution
Installment #4: The Democrats and Bringing Americans Together
Installment#5: Health, Education, and Safety
Installment #6: The Environment

How could I fail to mention a soul full of hearty gratitude for a Cubs win this weekend? Of course! I mean, I’ve only been a fan for 30 or so years. I’ve only been around for one sorrowful example of the curse come true, the Bartman Ball. Oh, poor Bartman, he was only following the instincts of any baseball fan: catch the ball. I missed the 1969 Black Cat curse, and the Billy Goat curse happened before I was even born. It’s been 71 years since the Cubs won at NL pennant and 108 years since they won the World Series. Yes, this could be the year for the Lovable Losers. And who better for the Cubs to play against than the team with the next longest drought: the Cleveland Indians. The last time the Indians won? 48 years ago.[tweetthis] #GoCubsGo[/tweetthis]
Here’s a list of a few other things, in no particular oder, that are on my gratitude list:

If you missed my preamble, no, not those platforms. This is my last installment on the Party Platforms. I got through […]
Mr. B turned 18 this month. We gave him a choice of birthday presents: 1) cash; 2) shopping […]
If you missed my preamble, no, not those platforms.
After going through this exercise, I have a whole new reaction when I watch people on TV respond to the debates. “Read the Platforms!” I shout at the TV. “If you expect to learn what the Presidential candidate wants to do, “Read the Platforms.” You can also learn what the candidate doesn’t know about his party’s platform, too.
I’m reviewing and comparing the Democrat and Republican Party Platforms. I’m doing this because there’s more to the election than getting a new President. I already know who I want for my next President. I, like, Thomas L. Friedman of The New York Times, hope that all 50 states go to one candidate.
Both Parties want good healthcare and education for its families.
The Republican Party has 1o pages to “Great American Families, Education, Healthcare, and Criminal Justice.” The Democrats have nine pages Education, Health and Safety for All Americans.

Oh man! This is a really long post. Sorry. [tweetthis] I hope you can set aside some time to get through it. I think it’s pretty important.[/tweetthis]
