Pretty much ready to go. Apartment still a mess. Oh well.
Cats are going nuts. Managed to turn off the modem once already, bouncing around like lunatics.

Bon voyage, sarameg!
It's worth it to look up David Letterman's reaction to John McCain cancelling on him, especially when he finds out during the taping that McCain is in fact still in NYC being interviewed by Katie Couric... and that McCain evidently lied about it to him over the phone.

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

Wow, I was calling Palin a smash success for firing up the base and creating a massive shift to McCain-Palin among white women based on polling that have M-P a 53% - 37% lead among white women. But now I saw this story:
White Women Swing Back From John McCain to Barack Obama
That's a massive shift back. It's hard to believe the polling with shifts this big.

However, this is unlikely, because in the US the government happens to be debt addict
Yeah, I'm not thrilled with either McCain or Obama on fiscal policy. I see the deficit growing under both.
