Right now! Go vote. Don’t tell me you’re too tired or too busy or too anything. Go vote. It’s the greatest privilege we have as Americans and we risk losing it if we don’t use it.
And for those of you who feel voting is just too much of a bother because you don’t like the people who are running, you are not allowed to say one word EVER about the politicians who run this country or the direction the country is taking. Either get involved or shut up.
One more day….
One more day and we will be free of the incessant ads and polls…. at least, we’ll be free for about ten minutes and then it will be time for the next presidential campaign to start. The good/bad news is that Christmas music will drown out the presidential campaign for a couple of months.
Wouldn’t….
Wouldn’t Sarah Palin running for president in 2012 be a good thing for the Dems? I mean, unless they have recently learned even better ways to screw up success, it would almost guarantee their candidate would take the race. Right?
Wish I were there!
Today is the day for the Restore Sanity and Keep Fear Alive rallies. My heart is broken that I’m not there. But thank god my cousin Marina raised some good kids because one of them is carrying my picture on a stick to the rally so that I can say I’ve been there if only in spirit. Thanks, Toni 3.
Painting my house
As I ponder the vast array of colors, hues and types of paint, I think to myself, “White works”.
NPR made the wrong decision
I was one of those on-air personalities pitching for public radio over the past two weeks. Next to my animals, public broadcasting is probably my biggest passion. Now that most of the airways seem to have been taken over by people who don’t know what an indoor voice sounds like and who do not so much want to report the news as shout their version of reality, public broadcasting has come to seem like a Mecca of sanity in a world gone mad.
As I sat at the board waiting for my turn to pitch, I ruffled through some of
Good to see him again
It’s good to see Uncle Ted back on our TVs, even though we know he’s gone. In this currently insane political climate, he seems so statesmanlike and reasonable… not something we normally would associate with someone who chose the Hulk as his hero.
X-Mas music vs campaign ads
When I walked into Costco the day after Labor Day and found Christmas decorations already up and for sale, I was horrified. Now that we are entering the 600th week of this year’s political campaign season and my ears are actually bleeding every time another spot comes on TV – even if only for a second before I can find the mute button – I realize that the sound of Christmas music playing ad nauseum for the next two months actually looks like a welcomed relief.
God bless us each and every one
It seems as though every campaign season I think that this is the worse it could possibly get. But god bless the American public and its political purveyors, they always seem to be able to find some room underneath to drop the bar even lower.
Joe? John?
Joe Miller? John Lindauer? With each passing day it becomes more difficult to decide which candidate’s campaign wins for worse implosion before the vote.
