Okay, picture this...a monster sized rock that has three confederate army leaders carved into the side ( and that's just the beginning). Then as the sun fades these faces become illuminated by lasers and fireworks accompanied by some "God bless America" soundtrack. It was amazing.
One of the hokiest things I have every seen, but well worth the four bucks I paid to get in. The only thing better would have been beer and the show for $4. There also was a laser montage straight from the 70's of Atlanta's landmarks, sports teams and all the kids we were with exclaimed at the end "Yay! Atlanta!" How can that be bad?
There was brief interlude by Chik-Fil-A with cows playing the roles of movie stars that was followed by a moving section about being a hero. Of course, this included many, many references to our military people and their families. I left feeling like this group of people is the foundation of this country.
It was amazing how all this was okay and people actually paid to see a 10 minute commercial for the armed forces. And I will say again, it was well worth the $4.

On another front, I knew that is was possible that Obama could win, but now I actually have to start thinking about Hillary as a VP. I am all for a woman in the White House, I just wanted the first one to be the president, not VP. I have no idea how the rest of this election is going to go...will the democrats make it happen this year?
Little fact of the day:
Two other women, besides Hillary, are on the short list for Obama's VP. I almost want one of them to win instead of Hillary.
