Politics

Well, it looks like we avoided a major catastrophe.  We made a last minute U-Turn and took a detour from financial disaster.  But you know my old saying - "one man's catastrophe is another's rhyming opportunity" - so I present to you a little bedtime poem.

After a neck and neck online competition, President Obama today granted pardon to two turkeys, Cobbler and Gobbler. Cobbler, who likes eating cranberries and listening to Carly Simon, narrowly beat out Gobbler, the corn-eating turkey who loves bluegrass...

Yesterday we all had the opportunity to go out and vote for who would become the President Of The United States. There was a lot of serious back and forth bantering going on in my news feed on Facebook and on my Twitter last night. That's one of the reasons right there that I don't really get very political. I am not much for arguing with people. Now that it's all over lets get rid of some of that

Shortly after midnight on Nov. 7, 2012, former presidential candidate Mitt Romney addressed supporters in Boston, Mass. with his official concession speech. Romney lost the race to the White House after President Barack Obama clinched 303 electoral votes to Romney's 206.

More and more stars are being political on Twitter. Country stars are no exceptions. Here are a few of your favorite country stars tweeting about the election last night.

We have a lot of races in the Albany area with some of them being more major than the others but all equally important. Here are the results of the races that have been called. We will be updating the data as new numbers come in.

It's Election Day, and country music's biggest stars are joining the push to make sure every eligible voter takes time to get to the polls before they close tonight. The importance of the election is clear to every concerned American.

Today America settles the long battle for the White House between current President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney. The national polls are very tight, whereas state-by-state polling seems to suggest another four years for Obama.

It's all over except for the counting. Good luck to both candidates. i can't wait for the absurdity to be over. But I wanted to summarize the absurdity in song, so here is a rough draft, recorded in my living room

Pop-country darling Taylor Swift is so busy, you might not think she'd have much time to keep up with current events like the upcoming presidential election. But the 'Red' hitmaker says she intends to vote -- though she insists she doesn't want her opinions to influence those who look up to her.

The election is down to the wire, but the absurdity still continues.  I thought it was a joke when I heard that Donald Trump told Obama that if he would produce his birth certificate, he would donate millions of dollars to charity.  Now here comes another "dare".

Take heart, America - it's almost over.  We can finally have control of our TVs again. There have been many comments of how candidates have conducted themselves in this election cycle.  Few have been positive. This four year old sums it up the best, however.  I'm with ya, kid!
