You can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska…
Last night I had a dream that Britney Spears loaned me her motorcycle so that I could drive my mom and I down to Malibu. This dream is vexing for several reasons not the least of which is that I don’t know how to drive a motorcycle and even if I did it is highly unlikely that my mom would ever jump on the back of one. The least bizarre part of the dream was that Britt-Britt and I were chums and that she’d be willing to loan me her motorcycle.
The subconscious is a weird thing; constantly taking input and processing it for later. You would think that for all of the input my brain has been processing on the election (at night) and printer specifications (during the day) that my dreams would consist of begging Obama to bend me over a pedestal, multi-drawer 75ppm printer.
Sarah “On a clear day you can see Russia from Alaska” Palin will give the 2nd part of her interview tonight. I watched highlights (low lights?) from bed this morning and thought this:
McCain/Palin are going to win the November Election.
If Towagalip (a friend of mine) is right and this next term is destined to be a 1-term presidency no matter who wins, then there may be another chance for the Obama/ Clinton ticket.
You know it’s bad when Newt Gingrich gets on the Today show and says, (I’m paraphrasing) “Obama lost the election the second he snubbed Hillary and the 18,000,000 women who voted for her.” He essentially went on to say that Joe Biden will have to re-invent himself Madonna-Style if he’s going to be able to hold his own against Sarah Palin who, despite her complete lack of foreign policy experience and what I perceive to be questionable decision making skills, is engaging in a way that Biden isn’t.
This January when I’m standing in frozen muck down on the mall for the inauguration (I go no matter who wins), I will place the blame squarely on the shoulders of the leaders of the Democratic Party. Shame on them for losing sight of the end goal: the real issues that face America that can’t be solved in a 30 second TV ad. That the Democrats could have two solid candidates in Obama and in Clinton and STILL not have their shit together is one for the ages.
I’ve enjoyed reading the banter back and forth on the blog; the traffic to the sight is fantastic and I thank you for your consistent contribution. On record, I want to say that I sent out 4 invitations: two to the left and two to the right offering them a guest spot on the blog to advocate why the opposing candidate would be a good President. I didn’t get any takers. I’ve always subscribed that most of us live somewhere in the middle. We want what’s best for our kids, but may have different ideas on what constitutes the “best”. We expect a fair price at the pump, but have opposing views on whether or not drill off-shore to get it. We believe in the concept of equality but differ on its practice. We believe in peace, but struggle to define the 2nd amendment in an increasingly complex society. “We” are the”We” in “We the People” (Not to be confused with Mr. Wii) and if the microcosm that constitutes my blog is any indication, “We” don’t agree on anything related to McCain/Palin, Obama/Biden.
Just like my bizarre-o dream about Britney Spears and I, the way each of us views the current political landscape through a complex set of filters that are, for better or worse, exacerbated by the ever-present media. If you favor NBC, you will in time find some not-so-subtle journalism attitudes that are to the left of neutral. If you find yourself nodding your head during while watching FOX, then it’s a fair bet that you are, in part, responding to journalism that’s a big to the right of neutral. None of this is good or bad, right or wrong. It is what it is.
I guess we’re about 8 weeks or so from the election and I’m sure that, unless Mr.Wii and I get together soon (we’re trying to find some dates that work for us) that politics will continue to pepper my blog like so much verbal shrapnel.
My guest blog invitation is still open…
What? You forgot I went to Bike Week in Daytona Beach with SH?
Where’s your Harley?
(:
And who knew I’d live long enough to share an opinion with Newt?
Dreams and nightmares are a way for my mind to break out of its civilization-imposed limitations and boundaries.
Now, if I could just remember them more than vaguely, I would use them to write movie scripts that would make me a gazillionaire!
Oh, yeah, I forgot to say — Sarah Palin thinking that being able to see Russia from Alaska makes her a foreign-policy expert is a true NIGHTMARE!
You are SO wrong it’s silly.
This is ridiculous: “Joe Biden will have to re-invent himself Madonna-Style if he’s going to be able to hold his own against Sarah Palin”
What the hell are you talking about: “That the Democrats could have two solid candidates in Obama and in Clinton and STILL not have their shit together is one for the ages”
One For The Ages, wtf?The fucking trompled Republican’s and have So much more support AROUND THE ENTIRE WORLD?
you need to get out more.
The country’s food banks are empty, and now it appears that some morons are spending $50,000 on a pro-Palin ad. For what conceivable reason? I can think of sooooo many good ways that money could be used — and it could be used in Palin’s name if they want to make her look good. These folks need a reality check.
