Presidential Politics

I totally neglected to touch on the presidential race. Ok so. We're about 9 days out. I'm literally electric with excitement about this. It's actually within striking distance. No time in my life have I ever felt such a real purpose in the American electoral process. Of course 2000 taught us that every vote counts, and 2004...well, let's just forget 2004, obviously I made a judgement error there. But this is different, I have the ability to vote for history. That's not to say that I wasn't going to vote for Obama no matter what (I was), but to be on the right side of history is just awe inspiring. I'm proud of the way that he has conducted this campaign. I'm proud of the policies he's proposed. I'm proud that I'm voting for this once in a lifetime candidate, who I truly believe will change the country and the world.

That being said, let me just say a little something about the opponents. John McCain, decent guy, but waaaaaayyyyy too old and totally out of touch. Sarah Palin (cue gagging). I detest this woman. She's a liar, she promotes hate and bigotry, and her kids have the dumbest names ever, with maybe the exception of Frank Zappa's. I could go on for hours about the ridiculousness that is Sarah Palin. As Chris says, poor, poor Sarah Palin. The poor woman doesn't even know how dumb she is. I concur.
