Here is a blog, on a Saturday night, after the day has been a mess of rain, high winds, gloom, and Cold. So much for the beauties of October in 06. Iowa, Iowa State, and Nebraska all got whupped this afternoon. I have not yet checked to see how Kalamazoo did against Wisconsin Lutheran. Kim Jong Il supposedly told the Chinese he was "sorry' for setting off a nuke. Close to a hundred US troops have been killed in Iraq in October. Nejad is back ranting about wiping out Israel and anyone else supporting the country. He is a progressive fellow, aint he? There is lots more world news to relate, but I will have to do more web searching to get it in my diary.
There is an interesting column in the blog The Agitator about who has been Outing who on Capitol Hill, and which congresspeople have Gay aides (bad pun, I know). Back in the 1980s the Des Moines Register got on a vendetta against the bumbo county attorney we had, and after a long campaign in print to get the guy out of office, the paper outed him one day. It was fairly common gossip that he was gay, but he resigned very soon after the story broke. So much for the liberals in Des Moines being Accepting of the gay lifestyle.
The media ads around here for and against local candidates have gotten vicious beyond sense in the last week. Does our current congressman want children to watch porno videos, and can one candidate for governor opine on world affairs since he avoided military service, and who is the bigger porkbarreler(sic). An insult to intelligent voters, but professional campaign agencies seem to think this stuff is effective.
I am going to close this blog effort for right now, before I get higher and higher on my horse. The news of the world is getting heavy on my mind, and I have discovered that I do not remember or even absorb as much of it as I should. Arnaud of the Washington Times thinks that some time soon we will be at War with both Iran and North Korea.
( Great News--Kalamazoo College crowned its Homecoming by whupping Wisconsin Lutheran 31-19! Way to go, Hornets!)
Di di mau!
