Thanks to the wisdom of my son Jay, I have achieved peace regarding the upcoming presidential election.

I’m too mad to blog tonight folks, so I’m giving you all a link to my post at Gran Speaks.

This negative campaigning is really ticking me off.

Happy Wednesday, and a really interesting quote…

I was reading Time Magazine online today, and found this quote:

“Half are looking at their 401(k)s drop $50,000 in a day, and they call me up and scream at me and say, ‘You rat bastard, I’m never voting for you again!’“

STEVE LATOURETTE, Congressman from Ohio, who voted against the Wall Street bailout bill, on how constituent opinion is split on the legislation.

Amen, brothers and sisters.

And Happy Hump Day.

TTFN.

This article from ecorazzi makes me so proud of Lindsay Lohan.

I’ve always been a Lindsay Lohan fan, and I’m glad she is speaking out!

Good for you, Obama.

Sarah Palin’s 17-year-old daughter is pregnant.

And??

Teenagers have sex, folks, and sometimes they get pregnant.

Even, heaven help us, teenagers of Republicans (gasp).

The media needs to back off this one.

CNN is talking about it now.

Let it be, CNN.

Obama gave a rock ‘em sock ‘em speech.

It’s going to be an interesting fall, my friends.

On CNN, just now, David Gergen pronounced Obama’s speech “a masterpiece.”

I thought that Bill Clinton gave a great speech tonight, with none of the attitude or arrogance that he can show when he’s pissed off.

Who else watched Bill’s speech, and what did you think?

And yes, I admire Hillary Clinton.

Why?

Because she’s a ferocious fighter, she never gives up.

Hillary knows what she wants and she goes for it!

Monday, the convention, and a thunderstorm

As for the convention, here are the results of a CNN poll that I took part in today:

How much of the Democratic National Convention do you plan to watch?

A lot	15%	48699
A little	29%	92136
None	56%	179779
Total Votes: 320614

I’m one of the voters who reported “a little,” the 29%.

I watched the convention for about thirty minutes, heard Ted Kennedy’s great speech (he looks and sounds great).

As usual, I’m glad that Monday is over–4 days to go, then 3 days off!

Woot!

Seattle is cool and very wet today; I came home in a thunderstorm.

That’s Seattle for you!

Take care everyone.

TTFN.

Are you going to watch the Democratic Convention?

I’m not going to watch it, but I have signed up for text message updates from our union.

We voted in a union at work, and I will keep tabs on the convention in my own quiet way.

How about you–will you be watching the Democratic Convention?

Or the Republican one?

Or both?
