makes it seem like Newt could swing in and take the nod. Which wouldn’t actually be the apocalypse, but you’d be able to hear the clip-clop.

Unlike others, I don’t think Newt is all that bright. I think he has a knack for taking whatever subject and whatever question he’s asked, and turning it into an emotion laden shibboleth that appeals to conservative viewers. If you watch him he doesn’t usually answer questions, he proposes solutions, usually out of an apparently huge playbook of preapproved plans. His memory, not his reason, is what I am impressed by, but when I use the word imprerss, I mean “Like a 3 ton elephant sitting on a pile of marshmellow peeps”. Bottomline, I will never forgive Newt for sitting on that goddamned couch with Pelosi.

Romney is wrongity wrong. He’s invisible at the moment, almost the very definition of the fnord. You can’t see him, but he’s there, waiting to sneak up on you and eat your freedoms like the liberal we all know he is.

And Pascal thinks Cain is the uberdog, the predestined candidate being deliberately attacked to give him a reason to attract all our sympathy, so the newest type of machine politician can be elected.

Oh well. G-d loves us, anyway. Wish he’d show up with a plague of toads or something. Those of us not involved in Government could paint our lintels with lamb’s blood.

For the first time in- well, since I helped elect Ron Reagan for the first time.

Our locals are all dyed-in the wool democrats. We’re a collar community for the mills and just about everyone has a Union Yes! symbol on their bumper. Amusing that some of the campaign literature has both Union Yes! and Pro Life! on it. the candidates seem to have no clue.

Anyway, there were only two republicans running, and they were not by any means superlative choices, though the one (r) candidate that actually knocked on my door with his own hand did in fact win. Guess actually showing up did count for something.

I’m about at the point where I want to stand outside the polling places with a taser.

The good citizens of our area voted about 56 to 45 percent to spend 160 million on a new school. Crikey. In this economy. Guess they don’t understand they have to pay for it. Monkeys.

Ordinarily, I don’t wake up with the overwhelming desire to kill everyone I see, that waits for the end of my commute. Today, I woke at two feeling like the dogs breakfast, once removed, and it has only gotten worse.

I have no business being at work today, but I have too many fires to put out to not be here. And hunting season starts saturday. Excellent timing!
