I’ve kind of been in a funk the last 2 days. I have no idea why, but just haven’t felt like doing anything….couldn’t even force myself. It was kind of annoying.
I finally got down to it, grudgingly, today. Got about 95% of my work caught up.  We did watch Purdue lose to Penn….which we knew was going to happen, but it won’t have been so bad if our kicker would’ve at least made some of the field goals. Indy won thankfully. Hopefully Brees & the Saints do good tomorrow night.
I’ve just been news surfing and given into my politics addiction.  I have been disturbed by the VP debates. It has been rolling around in my head since Thursday.
Palin didn’t have any substance, gave no solutions or plans, talked in circles, didn’t answer questions and played it “cutesy-woosy”. ( The Palin Problem ) She is a disgrace to being a woman going for one of the highest offices in the land. She is acting like it is a beauty contest and if she smiles just right, she’ll win. She seems so artifical and fake and it annoys me. If Clinton tried any of that, she would’ve been roasted by everyone. But unlike Palin, Clinton actually knows policy and issues. I want a policy geek, someone who knows the issues in office, not a beauty contestant that doesn’t have a clue.
Biden did really well, came off extremely knowledgeably, kind and presidential. You could see him holding back just so he didn’t get accused of beating up on a woman. Which is BS since she was able to do the attacks and he couldn’t truly fight back like he should. If it was against Clinton, she would’ve been treated like any other office seeker, like it should be.
Then the McBush camp wants to treat us voters like we are idiots. Trying to distract us with innuendos and lies about Obama’s associations : Will Palin’s Obama-Terrorist Speech Backfire?
Which has some racial overtones. But of course that isn’t going to stop them lying. Most people don’t do their research, they don’t have time or access to it for the facts : Fact Check: Is Obama ‘palling around with terrorists’?
I really do like the fact that Obama has called the McBush camp on the lies and even used their advisors words against them since it proved it :Â Obama in Asheville to Hit McCain for Adviser’s “Turning a Page on This Financial Crisis” Remark
What very disturbing is an article that we came across : Will Dress Code Affect Your Right To Vote?
Wearing campaign buttons and shirts while voting has always been part of American Politics. So this really annoys me and worries me on what the slimmy operatives will do to stop people from voting. It is disgusting.
I thought this was a very good article and example of Obama being able to be friends and work with people with different ways of thinking : Obama’s Other Pastor This is the man that married Bush’s daughter.
But here is a bit of history on the word Maverick and the family where it came from :  Who You Callin’ a Maverick?
