Two in a Row

This is blog two for day two of the great blogathon. Thanks, Sage Words, for the comment...nice grade. This will be brief as well, but only because it has been a day filled with time-consuming glitches. By tomorrow, I should be able to hold forth ad nauseum.

So... Just a couple of observations. Two days hence we select McCainPalin or ObamaBiden to rule the nation for the next four years. At least that's what we're being told through the media. Everything that has happened for the past 8 years is BushCheney's fault: Especially the economy economy economy economy. (That, it appears, is now the only issue.) I've heard the same speech now from each of the candidates a gazzillion times, and that appears to be the one opinion they have in common. Wall street nosedives, big bank bailouts, money woes galore. (All the president's fault...Congress had nothing to do with it.) And the poor refineries...gas prices just plummeting...oh no... Oh. Wait a minute. That's a good thing, right? For most of us.
Anyway...it's bad for General Motors (really bad...checked their stocks?) so it must be bad for the rest of us. And there are no other issues. National security, terrorism, international drug sales, etc. Those are issues that have faded into insignificance as the campaign reaches Tuesday's crescendo. So they must not be problems any more.
I'll just close today with a small piece of advice: Before you vote, find a copy of an old Robert Redford movie called "The Candidate" and watch it.
That's my NaBloPoMo for today.
Blog at ya later,
