Tales from a Tummy Bug

Hello Sunshine,

How are we then?

Sorry about the long lay off, it was not intentional. I was literally FELLED w/ a stomach flu that kept me out of commission from Thursday at 5pm til, well just about yesterday afternoon!! I will spare everyone the gross details.. However we have all been there! A quick shout out to my DW's BFF Kayly for Sharing some of the love from the Harrisburg area when Vicki went to see the View with her!!!! LOLOL

Now, as for the big ol' Vice Presidential debate that happened. In between gripping my tummy in pain (and trying not to kvetch too much. After all, Vicki is carrying a CHILD for Christ's sake!! Don't tell her about nausea!jk), and grimacing; I tride to watch the debate as open minded as possible. After all, in the end, I'm a Democrat. I want a government that helps its' citizens, and I don't believe that the free market let's anything trickle down, EVER to the huddled masses below.

I thought Sarah Palin did well in a totally reading off of cue cards way w/ that winking at the camera and the "say it ain't so, Joe" faux working class rhetoric. I thought Joe Biden turned the engines on in the 2nd half of the debate, and closed strongly. As a result a thought it was a tie, much like the first Presidential debate..

How Happy was I to find out that The press lambasted her!! She got facts wrong, she gave the wrong name for the head general in Afghanistan!! I loved it!! How GREAT would it be for Obama/Biden to win Florida, and North Carolina?????

It seems like my old buddy, Steve Schmidt is getting a bit o'press today. Since it is referenced in the newspaper, I guess I can state it on here. There is a paragraph in the article which describes Steve at a Log Cabin Republican Event, telling them how much he loves his sister, and her partner, and that for the Log Cabing Republicans, that "their time will come".....

I don't get it. A) How can you be gay, and a Republican? It would be like me as a Jew joining the Nazi Party!! The Right Wing of this country has denounced the gay lifestyle! Is economics enough to turn your back on your gay brothers and sisters in getting the same rights as heterosexual couples? B) How can one (i.e. Steve) be a Republican operative if your Party has targeted a portion of the population that includes your SISTER!?!? Shame, Shame Steve... I can understand being conservative economically, but to cash a paycheck from the same people look down on your sister,... I would not do it. Is the money that important? To put the Republican Party above family?

Accourding to http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/ , things are NOT looking good for John McCain, btw...


Did everyone see HASSelback go crazy and Whoopi take her on during "The View" today????

GOOD STUFF!!!
