Debate, Election
Quick Roundup:
Obama wiped the floor with the McCain. I can't believe he said "that one". McCain doesn't look good. Palin - complete VPILF, but so so so vapid and unimpressive.
Biden - I like the hair plugs.
Tina Fey, who I used to hate, but now I love, is totally winning the election cycle.
This explains it all.

about to sleep
I'm off to sleep and I promise that my next post won't be about the election.
I feel like I'm too invested. I'm on an emotional roller coaster with this thing. It is a plot that has replaced the plot that should be my own life.
Anyway, I need to get back to more consistent writing. I'm enjoying teaching this year immensely. I realize though even though I am now Protestant, I still carry with me my old Catholic Guilt.
don't you hate it when a stupid comment or a stupid thing from like fifteen years ago haunts your brain and makes you feel stupid or like shit? Well, I'll get over it and move on.
vote Obama.

It's the economy, stupid!
Everything you need to know. Don't let the media or anyone else say there is no difference between the two of the candidates?
Besides McCain being gung-ho for a war with Russia, take a look at your wallet. Two words for Johnny McLiar: Trickle THIS!

Obama
His speech was perfect, but the right wing has me scared. The choice is simple: A politician who unites vs. A politician who divides.
A politician who talks not in sound bites vs. A politician beholden to the right wing talking points.
A politician willing to negotiate vs. One bent on more war.
A politician trying his hardest to avoid identity politics vs. One who uses identity as gimmick to get votes.
A politician who believes the less eight years were a disaster vs. One who only says so when politically convenient.
A politician who refutes the future vs. a man who answers every hard question with a reference to his past.
A politician who discusses middle-class issue vs. a man and woman who doesn't mention healthcare, middle class, college relief, or social security in their convention address.
A politician who fights cleanly and admirably for his causes vs. a man who has broken every pledge to do the same.
A politician who seeks common ground on abortion and gay marriage and immigration vs. one who uses these issues as wedge.
The choice is clear. Stop McCain. Stop Palin. The right must own their mistakes.

Why I Love Joe Biden...
It is his sincerity. Pure and simple. I don't think this story illustrates his final point, but his humor and humility and honesty in how he tells it - tells us about who he is. After watching the Repubs the last few nights and witnessing Slick Mitt Romeny, Two-faced Huckabee Foghorn Thompson, and the lack of ethos Sarah Palin, it is nice to hear a voice of a real person.

Juno? or Juneau?
ELLEN PAGE OR BRISTOL PALIN?
Now I'm not one of these conspiracy people and I don't think it is fair to rag on Bristol Palin who gave birth to her second, I mean, first child - but What the Hell does this say about the moral majority and John McCain's judgment? Should Sarah Palin be campaigning with a four-month old and a daughter in need of care?
