it took a little more than a week

for someone to steal my Obama/Biden yard sign that I got in the mail last week (as an incentive for making a 2^nd donation.) It was there this morning as I left for work but this afternoon when I got back was nowhere to be found. So on Friday I'll stop at the nearest Obama campaign office (since I'll be driving right by it anyway) and acquire some new signs and maybe a few bumper stickers for the new beast.

Can someone tell me what the acronym GOP stands for? No, seriously I never can remember this. Or figure out or why the repubs would even need such a pointless moniker. Dems apparently don't need such a thing, cuz they're special.

I only managed to miss the first two or three minutes of Barack Obama's unprecedented 30 minute, multiple network public service announcement and I have to say I was impressed. Impressed that the man seems to have a definite plan for America, should he win the election next week.

I can't comprehend what anyone sees in John McCain, except a grumpy old man who is out of touch with what this country needs. He scares me primarily because of his age and who his runing mate is: Sarah Palin, a woman hopelessly unqualified to step into the highest office in the land, should she need to.

One positive thing I'll say about McCain is that he doesn't have that deer-like lost-in-the-headlights look that W has featured throughout his presidency. Instead he features that rabid puffy-cheeked squirrel look. I don't know which is worse...

One of my co-workers today said she'd love to see a Hilary Clinton v. Sarah Palin presidential debate/catfight. I don't know if I'd want to see that. She was speculating what kind of future Sarah Palin has on the national political stage. I'm all for the Dan Quayle political style future. Uneventful, comical yet utterly forgettable.
