Thanks for nothing, George

The Dow's close puts the stock market below where it was on President Bush's first day in office.

Where's Osama?

It's getting to the point where Sen. McCain would have to parachute into Afganistan and single-handedly capture bin Laden to increase his standings in the polls.

Of course, today Sen. McCain repudiated Gov. Palin's comments in favor of attacking terrorists in Pakistan. So apparently bin Laden will be safe from Sen. McCain if he can hide on the Pakistan side of the border.



Gates of Hell indeed...

In-laws

Watching John McCain in the presidential debate last night was like listening to a 90 minute lecture on politics from your cranky father-in-law who sits around all day listening to right wing talk radio and then comes over to tell you how liberals are ruining America. And you sit there and try to bite your tongue so that you won't get into a big argument and ruin Thanksgiving dinner for the whole family.

Not that this has ever happened to me.

Does GOP stand for Grumpy Old People now?

Because they all look alike to him...

 McCain "will spar this week in mock debates" with former Maryland lieutenant governor Michael Steele who will play Obama "and use many of his speaking patterns, tactics and body language."

Who, what, when, where, why, how?

So what is the point of all this anyway? In a few hundred years will anyone see this and look at it to learn about the early 21st century? Or will this all be a bunch of digital refuse? Maybe we should all be writing on paper instead of digitally.

Show Tunes

We watched the first episode of Dr. Horrible tonight. It was pretty funny. Better than 90% of the stuff on TV anyway. If you're interested, watch it before Sunday when it will be gone.

Update: Errr, nevermind. The first episode was the best and it went downhill from there. Started with such promise, only to disappoint in the end.

What I really think

I am adding this post for my friend Annie because she wants to know what I really think about things. If I knew what I really thought about things, I would write it here. Right in this spot right here. I'm still thinking.
