So, poor Sarah Palin has had mean things said to her. Whaaaa.

How about the things she has said about Obama. What about the things she has let her minions say about Obama.

I'm about to effing lose it.

Now, McCain is running ads in OREGON! This "I'm joe the fucking plumber" crap. Joe the Plumber is a fraud.

Someone remind me we are going to win this thing.

2. I know how you feel.
Yesterday I was completely disgusted by the constant, subtle (as well as not so subtle) attacks on Obama by almost every yapping head on teevee.

3. I don't watch TV while working out
I have a picture of Barack tacked to the wall in my workout room, in front of the treadmill. When I enter my last mile (the hardest), I see that picture and tell myself, "Yes, I can!" Sounds corny, I know, but it works for me. I figure if he is willing to put his life on hold for eight years to be president and fix our problems, I can make that last mile.

7. Ha! No....
...didn't know there was one!

I retired eight yrs ago, broke a leg three years ago, and kinda let my physical condition wane. After a cancer scare, and finding out my cholesterol was dangerouosly high, I decided I need a lifestyle change! I have changed my diet completely, go through a strenuous workout every morning, and play 18 holes of disc golf every day. I am up to 4 miles a day on the treadmill. I can't run due to the leg injury, but I walk at a pace of 4 mph, which is pretty fast. I do it all non-stop for an hour, so I get some pretty good cardio therapy and a lot of sweating. I follow that with 15 minutes on an inversion table to relieve the stress on my knees and back, and then another 15 minutes on a cardio exerciser.

After that, I go play disc golf. Our course is wound through trees and hills, and was designed by the top player in Texas! That gives me another mile or so up and down hills.

I know some might consider that kinda weak for a workout, but I'm gettin old dammit! But, I feel so good now! It has changed my whole outlook. My health has greatly improved, I'm back in shape, and I have got my cholesterol (LDL) down to 130, from 190!

5. Did not get that at all.
Palin spieling the usual crap, but Elisabeth Vargas calling it like it is. IMO.

6. One of the things that drives me crazy are the lies that McPalin spew about Obama's
treatment of Shmoe the Blunderer. Obama was nothing but NICE when he met him this punk and McPalin are lying that Obama dissed him.

Those people are VILE!!!!!

8. Every time I hear "Joe the Plumber" these days...
...I think "Sam 'I Am' Not A Plumber"...

Remember seeing how he strode forward to talk to Obama.

Remember how the meme was created that Obama went knocking on doors -- i.e. that he is the one who sought out "not-Joe" the "not-plumber"?

Remember how McCain latched onto not-Joe the not-plumber?

Does anyone doubt that he was a plant?

And now he is complaining about all that negative publicity -- but somehow it's not the fault of the McCain camp who created his 15 minutes of fame out of whole cloth... no, it's the fault of Obama who gave him a thoughtful answer to his fake "gotcha" question.

Geez, political discourse in this country never ceases to amaze me.
