Happy Birthday, Casper!
Goodness, what a lovely girl.
Gronk, indeed. Not enough sleep last night. Oh, well. Off to work.
The money was too good. I got stupid.

Happy birthday Casper!
I am really trying not to get emotionally involved in the election. Tom has pretty much convinced me that McCain will win, so I'm expecting that and if it doesn't happen, it will be a lovely surprise!
I cannot go through what happened in 2004 again. I do not trust the voters to get a clue because they re-elected Bush and McCain is comparatively better. Also I think there will be some racism brought to bear.
I am pessimistic. I don't want to be optimistic. 2004 almost killed me.

I'm trying to work. Except I need to send mail to do that and the mail server is down. It's frustrating!

Tom hasn't convinced me, but I think McCain might win. After being in Ohio for a few days and catching commercials where McCain is making a huge play for Clinton supporters, I have to say, it might work. (The commercials show Clinton talking about how she has experience and McCain has experience and Obama has a good speech... or they show women talking about how they were Clinton supporters who are now voting for McCain). Ugh.

That's pretty much how I feel Nora. Except every time I see Obama speak...
I may need to not watch any television for the next 3 months.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Supposedly a lot of former Clinton supporters who now support McCain are not aware that McCain is anti-abortion. As the campaign switches into high gear, I think these people will learn this....
But I'm getting more pessimistic as well. It's infuriating how the media gives McCain a free pass on his idiotic statements....

I don't think it's true that he gets a free pass (lots of play of the houses thing). But I do think idiocy in our leaders has become acceptable or at least expected. I wish that you could run an intelligence vs. experience commercial (VO:"All the experience in the world doesn't mean anything if you never learn anything from it....") But maybe I feel that way because I'm an elitist.
