Mommy, When Will This Be Over?

Song of the Day:

“Take the  ‘L’ Out of Lover and it’s OVER” 

The Motels

I don’t know about you, but I’ve just decided I can’t WAIT til the election is OVER. 

This is the first time in my young young  life I’ve been sooo into the process, and it’s exhausting.  It’s the first time I actually WATCHED every Prez & VP debates…EXHAUSTING. 

I was in The Forensics Speech and Debate Club at good ol’ FHS ( won prizes too!) …And let me tell you…all those debates we saw this year, in the true sense of the process… none of them were really debates at all!!!  

No rule following or anything.  No trophies for any of ‘em in the real world.

I have decided politics should be like religion and opinions…keep it to yourself!

In the meantime, I long for a simpler time, when I can concentrate on more important things, like Madge’s divorce.  Heh Heh.

Bonus Motels shout out

For me, the guitar solo in “Only the Lonely” is quintessential 80’s pop.  Short intro was hard to talk up, and short song, so couldn't do much while it was playing, but always one of my top fave songs ever!  

Sneak Peek at New Prez?

The thing is, nobody knows who’s going to win.  No one can predict with complete accuracy the results of a football game, a poker tournament or especially a presidential race.  

And yet, people are paid big pundit bucks to prognosticate on what will happen, with very little accuracy.

To feed our need to know NOW, a few predictors have surfaced.

The Kids Have Spoken: Obama 57% -McCain 39%

Results of  The Scholastic Presidential Election Poll  have only been wrong twice since 1940. Out of the mouths’ of babes. 

Washington Redskins Last Home Game Before Election

Since 1936, except for 2004, if the Washington Redskins won their last home game before the election, the incumbent party has stayed in the Whitehouse. This year, the Skins play the Pittsburgh Steelers in Monday Night Football the night before the election. Who's your team?

Don’t Mask Your Feelings

There’s a costume company that swears whatever political candidates’ mask sells the most in an election year, wins. This sounds like a way to get into the news while the gettin's good, but it seems more reasonable than having to sit through a Redskin game.  Or a Steelers game for that matter.

Spelling it Out?

On a side note, The CBS Early Show did a story on election predictions, and the graphic read “An Offbeat Peak at Who May Win”  

Hello-it’s suppose to be PEEK!  GRRRR

Hey-wasn’t there a VP candidate who spelled potato funky….hmmmm…is this a predictor too??
