I am not dead. Just thought I would let you know. I have been busy with real life stuff. The economy is affecting lots of people I know and not in a happy good way. Worst of all, lots of highly intelligent, sober individuals plan to vote for Obama. I can barely stomach the thought of President Obama. So that in a nutshell is the source of my malaise. So in no particular order here are some things that have been weighing on my mind.
The Ohio ElectionHow can an obvious partisan political hack like Ohio SoS Jennifer Brunner get away with a blatant attempt to undermine the voting process. Remember her "Vote Early" plan allowed anyone to both register and vote on the same day during the last week of September, before identities could be verified. Opponents filed a suit and a judge ruled that her plan did not give the state sufficient time to validate the registrations and would be prone to fraud. Brunner appealed and the ruling was overturned by, not surprisingly, a Clinton appointed judge.
I don't think there will be mass voter fraud at the Ohio polls next week, but the whole process is suspect now. There has already been numerous charges of fraud and what do you do when the person who is suppose to oversee the process is the one who allowed it to be abused in the first place?
BaseballI guess if you are a fan the fact that the Rays made it to the Series is exciting. Not so exciting that they lost to the Phillies. But I am not a fan.
I Hear Dead PeopleI downloaded Issac Hayes's cover of "By The Time I Get To Phoenix" from emusic.com . It is every bit as good as I remember it from being a kid. Interestingly, Hayes stiffed his church. The Church of Scientology got zip from him in his will. Given that they are all about the money, I wonder if they are going after some of his estate.
EurekaWhat's up with the short season of Eureka? What's up with Sci-fi doing these 13 episode seasons? What will I watch when SG-A goes off the air?
Sick FriendsPray for my friends who are sick. Some of them very so. Especially Dave. He isn't doing well. Here is a recent photo. I may have had to adjust it a little.
I don't want to catch what he's got. Okay maybe I adjusted it a lot. I just wanted to graphically portray just how sick he was. And before you say anything; I am not sick, I am just disturbed. (BTW this is just a little inside joke between me and Dave).
Did I mention I am playing World of Warcraft. My primary Toon is a 36th level Paladin named DaneBramage. I believe several people on the Muradin server have made the connection hence the WoW comment spam that I have deleted. My first 30 days are up tomorrow. I think I will buy at least another 30 days. Beyond that my short attention span for games kicks in and I should be pretty bored with it. Meanwhile check out my blogroll. I'll be adding my friend Scott's blog once he gets past the introductory post. You know Scott. The photo of the zipper tattoo on the back of his neck has been the second biggest draw to my blog next ot Star Wars Femme. I know, I know, I should talk about people needing to post to their blogs.
