VP Debate Commentary

I'm currently doped up with antibiotics, cough syrup and buddying up to my albuterol inhaler, thanks to the chest cold sitting on me like a 200 pound gorilla. So, for the moment, I'm going to put a brief note in here about some of the things that have bugged me regarding the campaigns and the debates.

Why is anyone really interested in what Obama, McPain, "O'Biden" or "Fake Fargo" plan on doing, when we all know that Congress will work to stall or pork barrel every damn piece of legislation the new president creates?

When a single piece of legislation must be shot down because of some two-line addendum totally unrelated to the original piece, who can really examine anyone's record with any understanding of that person's position? I'm not asking this to excuse anyone's record, just saying nothing can be gleaned from these damn votes to begin with!

I'm sick of Palin's "predator-lender" comments. Tell the truth, Sarah: people need to be responsible for themselves...but no, you're standing there, advocating BIGGER government, to protect us "dumb yokels"---and trying to convince us you're one of us. Randy and I have looked at the DTI numbers most banks are looking for...and they are way too generous. According to most banks, the house they say we could afford would be all we'd get to do any more. No movies, no home improvements, no book-buying sprees, no yarn buying(!), no video games... Hell, we don't even have cable or a dish right now 'cause it's too freaking expensive!

I liked that Sen. Biden had actually been to a gas station recently. It would have been nicer if he'd told us how much it cost to fill his car, but I suspect he'd only been there doing the campaign thing, not actually living a "regular Joe" life.

I'm sure I've got more to say on this topic, but I can't think any more. Must sleep. Must not cough. Must cork nose. Gross.
