In case you missed this weeks new episode of Saturday Night Live, you picked a bad show to skip out on. The SNL staff picked on Barack Obama, and the media's love appeal with his campaign. Here are a few of the highlights from this weeks show:

Change We Can Believe In
Captivating, Insipring, moving, These are just a few words to describe the unique, and historic Barack Obama rally yesterday at Reunion Arena in Dallas, Texas.With a crowd of well over 20,000 which waited in lines that stretched as far back as the eye could see, Obama did not dissapoint, presenting his powerful message of hope to an audience of all ages, races, and religions.
The speech itself was eloquent, well delivered, and concise on the solutions that this country needs. He talked about his health care plan, his proposed $4,000 credit to help college students pay for school, his eagerness to stop letting lobbyists control Washington, and then excused himself because he had to blow his nose(he had a cold). A friend of mine pointed out later that she found herself nodding her head, saying, "it was so hard not to do," talking about the problems, and solutions Senator Obama raised. However, arguably the most memorable line of the afternoon, came when Obama said "We're sending George Bush back to Texas." All 20,000 stood up in unison and made the building tremble with noise.
For me, the rally was an exciting opportunity to be a part of history. Part of the reason why I like Obama so much, is because of his ability to bring people together, and make them enthusiastic about wanting something more. He is personable, charming, trustworthy, and most importatnly, extremelly intelligent. People say that Obama supporters don't know or understand the issues, however the people that I talked to had a great deal of knowledge about his campaign, as well as Senator Clinton's and Senator McCain's.
After winning the Wisconsin primary Tuesday night, John McCain said in his victory speech, that voters should gravitate towards experience, and that they shouldn't be deceived by an, "eloquent but empty call for change." I don't know about the rest of you that went to that rally, but that stadium seemed pretty full to me, and EVERYONE was calling for change.
This video doesen't do justice to the energy and passion that was in the building, but it still shows all the people that went.
Before hand we went to the JFK memorial.
Look at that line!

Ron Paul visits University of North Texas
Republican hopeful Ron Paul visited the UNT campus today, and spoke to a capacity crowd at the Eagle Suite in the University Union. I got a chance to go to the event, and take some pictures:
Look a the the guy they got to inspire the crowd before Mr.Paul's visit. Yeah, that's a ten year old.
Here's the other guy they got... Look at his Beard!
Ron Paul at UNT!
Some of the good Ron Paul Supporters!^ The guy in the middle wanted to conceal his identity
Some random guy was dressed up, naturally we had to take a picture with him
I was THAT close to him. He's such a frail old man... I thought he was going to die right then and there.
Me and Ron.... sort of
This was my first time at a political rally, so it was a good experience. Ron seems to be a smart guy, but like I mentioned before, he looks so frail and old. He certainly cannot work a crowd very well, or inspire, but he appears to be a fine person.
Obama rally Wednesday. You can bet I'm skipping class for that.

Stars Shut-out Red Wings
Dallas played really well tonight, especially early when Detroit was bombarding them with shots. Here are my thoughts on tonights game:
-Turco played REALLY well (28 saves). This might have been his best game this season. It's the first time he has beaten Detroit in regulation, so it's a big deal that he not only won, but got the shutout.
- This was the first time that Dallas beat Detroit at home in regulation since January 16, 2002. Belfour was in goal that game, and Niewendyk got 2 goals. So it was a long time ago.
-Dallas' last shutout against Detroit came in November of 2000. You think that's a long time, here's the kicker... this was the first time since 1973 that the Stars franchise shut Detroit out at home.
That's a span of...
34 years, 2 months, and 9 days
1,784 weeks
299,736 hours
17,984,160 minutes
1,079,049,600 seconds
So yeah...it's a big deal.
One last thing...
I met a young man from Scotland today, who go his own paper-route a couple of years ago, and saved his money to come see the Stars right here in Dallas. He was a big fan of the team, as well as our broadcasters. The ten-year old, came into the booth and got to meet, and talk to Ralph and Razor. It was pretty neat.
