An “island in the sky” may sound like a nice, tropical vacation spot, but in West Virginia it carries a whole different meaning. The Jarrell family cemetery used to sit atop one of Appalachia’s many pristine and beautiful mountains. The cemetery hasn’t moved, but the mountains have.

There is a reason why we have a day called "labor day" and not one called "corporation day."

President Obama is on the verge of potentially making the biggest mistake of his presidency. If he chooses to launch a military strike on Syria, disaster would strike with it.

Michigan Governor Rick Snyder doesn’t like unions. Neither does the Republican-controlled legislature. So last December, it wasn’t too big of a surprise that Snyder and the Michigan Republicans slammed the state with “Right-to-Work” laws, laws that essentially tear away at the footholds that unions have in Michigan.

War on __. Fill in the blank. Politics is full of buzz words, zingers, and one-liners to garner the attention of people and bring notoriety to a cause. War on Women, War on the Poor, War on Businesses. Most recently, critics of the Obama Administration have coined the term “War on Coal” to characterize proposed and enacted EPA regulations that some say will (and is) crippling the coal industry in the United States.

I used to have nothing against the voters of Wisconsin, however yesterday’s election changed that perspective completely. Wisconsin had, in the U.S. Senate, campaign finance reform’s most fearless advocate. Last night, the voters chose to oust him for a tea party candidate. Normally I don’t admit emotional ties to anything, but I was truly almost in tears when it was announced that Russ Feingold was projected to lose the Wisconsin Senate Election.

We are all tired. This election season is exhausting. Those working on campaigns have been clocking hours reaching the triple digits per week to help boost their candidates chances of getting elected. For the most part, an election such as this deserves a strict degree of seriousness throughout. Our country’s livelihood is at stake, the economy is still in bandages and casts, and the troops still aren’t home.

However, I feel it necessary to bring a bit of lightheartedness to the scene. Its been a long haul and a big final push towards November 2nd, so sit back and relax while I attempt to bring humor to the election cycle by grading this years most nutty candidates.

The grading scale: the classic A, B, C, D, or F

What they are graded on:
-Lack of Knowledge
-Scandal Caliber
-Overall Crazy

So lets get to our current Crazies of 2010 . . .

Like most people, I had no real concrete idea of what The Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear was to entail when we packed ourselves onto the D.C. metro cars early Saturday morning. My expectations were high for the event, and I assumed I would be surrounded by open-minded free-thinking individuals whose passion for such an event was as wholesome as mine. I was not disappointed.

Feeling guilty for complaining about the miniscule hour drive to the Shady Grove metro station, there were groups of people bussed from Oklahoma, New York, Los Angeles, and everywhere in between. I hauled my sleep-deprived butt out of bed at the unfamiliar hour of 4 a.m. to attend what I hoped would certainly be a fulfilling day of cooky signs, facetiously witty humor, and maybe some cupcakes.

My expectations were blown away (except the cupcakes, I never found any…)

Oh that Eric Cantor! He has a knack for really digging into the crust of the political earth and pulling out the nitty, gritty details. Cantor has taken it upon himself, with the help of some other jaunty House GOPers, to establish the Young Guns Program. This cute little group works real hard to essentially unseat Democrats, bluntly stated. The title Young Guns is so catchy among young, debonair GOP that Cantor decided to name his new book just that. Oh that Eric Cantor! Revivin’ the Republican Party like a good ol’ fashioned southern evangelical awakening! Ain’t it sweet?
