well, well, well, i take some time off to work on my home studio and you busy little bees just go to town!
oh where to begin...
let's start with debates: namo, remember that gw debated ann richards and lived and managed to win that election in texas (without the supreme court's help, i might add). gw also debated al gore and the results of that were at best a draw or, if you're feeling charitable, a gore split decision. c'mon a sitting vp with a surplus and peace against as you so glowlingly refer to him, a chimp? shoulda been a walk in the park, even for al.
once the campaign gets into gear and the democrats decide who it is they actually want to nominate (for those who think kerry is a foregone conclusion, think again as even if he wins 'em all between now and then he still won't have the necessary delegates by march 2nd) the republican mcahine will spring to life, open up one eager eye, and begin to prepare young georgie boy. if it is kerry, just remember that there's a lotta "c students" out there who'll look at him sneering and talking down to bush like he's a child not in a favorable way (i'm not saying it's right, but that's the way it is). i contend that most of bush's public image is a carefully cultured act. one that presents him as the bumpkin and allows his adversaris to underestimate him as they've done time and again. gore shoulda made mincemeat out of him and didn't, nor did ann, and i think she's a helluva lot better at debating than any of the current candidates save for reverend al.
the interview today: ugh. at least he didn't drool. in hindsight, the transcripts are not nearly as bad. just kidding, i thought he was fine. he's not the most articulate president we've ever had and sometimes i wish he was more like silent cal.
the show: i'm blown away that they were able to get through the performance and the evening without a big ol' hissy fit being thrown by someone at the theatre.
auntie vish, it's not nice to attack children for the sins (or alleged sins) of their parents. nor is it fair to toss about drug accusations when the only family member to whom they might actually apply would be brother jeb's daughter noelle (or gw, but that's for another thread).
desertion is a serious charge and i would hope that when the documentation surfaces that refutes those charges that the accusers will be as vociferous in their mea culpas as they have been thus far in their denunciations. but there is always the possibility that since conspiracy theories being what they are that those accusers can now deny the legitimacy of any documents that do surface. i wish i was on the other side for a little whiule so i could use that kinda logic, "you're the devil and i don't care how many birth certificates you produce to verify that you are human i deny their legitimacy, hence there is absolutely no way for you to refute my allegations, therefore you are the devil."
and since you were all wondering, yes i have found a kicking guitar sound that rumbles the apartment.
