Your True BFF

Whoa. Somewhere in the mix of electing a new President, watching the World Series, working, and taking care of my family, I somehow missed a monumental and significant new television series: Paris Hilton's My New BFF

Where were my BFF's when it comes to making sure I didn't miss a second of what I'm sure will go down as some of the most compelling and transformational footage ever to hit the cable and satellite channels???

But perhaps not everyone shares my view...I read that one of the 'auditions' to join Hilton's posse had a grand total of 40 people show up!

Pretty much less of a crowd than I face every Saturday morning at Starbucks when they have Pumpkin Bread samples. [READ MORE]

• Who are the best presidents America has ever seen? Why?
• Do we get the leaders we deserve? Why or why not?
• Why has a righteous and holy God sometimes allowed evil rulers to come to power throughout the course of history?
• How should we pray for those in authority?
• What happens if we don't obey the command to pray for those in authority?
• What other ways can we apply this truth?

Whew! Are you glad it's over (or almost over)? Well, duh...as if I needed more commercials for candidates, loud and annoying phone calls, yard signs, bumper stickers, and wall to wall media coverage - right?

But I will miss some of the humor. Whether you were pro-Bama, no-Bama, I don't know-bama, we love McCain, or all politics drive me insane...you have to admit there was some pretty good stuff that came out. Like:

With just 19 days left until the election, Barack Obama warned supporters today to guard against overconfidence. Then he boarded Air Force One, blasted "We Are The Champions" and shouted "I'm King of the World!"

Q. Why will Britney Spears vote for Barack Obama?
A. Because she's running out of other crazy things to do.

Q. Why is John McCain running for President?
A. It was at the top of his bucket list.

Unlike other candidates in the Republican primaries, John McCain says he believes in the Theory of Evolution. In fact, he watched it happen with his own eyes.
