ABC Nightline is right now doing a piece on Obama, which is so much of a love-in that I am about ready to gag. So much for network news impartiality. The guy is being revealed as absolute perfection and all-knowingness. Just my own private cynical opinion.
Have been drowning all day in TV campaign ads and they are still being shown at 11 p.m and getting meaner as the night goes on. Even people running for state and local offfice are being shown as the most evil creatures to appear on earth. Probably nothing new about all this; Washington and Andy Jackson got the same treatment, and Mary Lincoln got worse press than Abe got.
Back in the late 90s when Clinton was on the hot seat the chat rooms I used to spend my time being in got a lot of comments that there was nothing wrong with pols being sexually and financially corrupt--because the French pols did it all the time, and the French could not get why Americans were so bent out of shape about what our pols got caught doing. That excuse had not worked when Clarence Thomas was being grilled, but it was the excuse Clinton devotees were using for their hero.
A guy from Iowa who had been through West Point and was in the 101st Airbourne got killed in Iraq the other day. He must not have studied hard enough in school to avoid getting sent over there.
I am getting bitterer and bitterer as this blog goes along, even though I am watching Jimmy Kimmel, who is actually very funny and not quite as bitter as Letterman usually is. Maybe I will watch Jimmy before bedtime more than I usually do.
This blog is not really going anywhere, but I felt like venting my profound thoughts in cyberspace, if someone on earth might actually find this blog.
I will have much more to opine upon tomorrow evening after I watch the election returns. It will be an interesting and deep blogging, I guarantee that to my fans and devotees. So, di di mau!
