I was amazed at how many people came knocking at our door today to encourage us to go vote (of course for THEIR candidate) and how many people came knocking at our door, offering us a ride to the polls, and how many phone calls we got today with the same objectives in mind.  I am so very glad that the polls are now closed and the door knocking and phone calls have stopped.  I voted today, and I hope you did too!  Now we wait to see who the winner is.  I hope that the results will be met with good sportsmanship and dignity by the candidates and the voters alike.

I’ve been watching with quite a bit of concern the attempts to fix the financial mess our country is finding itself in.  I was not happy with the bail out bill package, but I felt that it needed to be passed to keep our economy from collapsing completely.  So I was very discouraged to hear that it had not passed.  This scares me; I’m concerned that people are going to be losing their jobs and their homes.  I hope that they come up with a workable solution to fix this mess!

Goodness knows I’m getting tired of hearing “the sky is falling” messages from people about how using cell phones is bad for you.  For years people have been trying to link cell phone usage with brain cancer, and now they are trying to link it with decreased fertility in men?  Good grief!  Get over it already!  If there is decreased fertility in men, where exactly are they holding their cell phones?

Apparently there have been rumors going around that North Korea’s extremist leader, Kim Jong is ill, and may have suffered a serious stroke.  I’m not one to wish anyone harm, but considering how extremist he is and how he feels that the United States is “the enemy” I really can’t say that I’m sorry to hear that he may be suffering ill health.  I can only hope that if he IS ill and/or dies, that he is replaced by someone a little bit less extreme!

I can’t believe that John McCain chose Sarah Palin to be his running mate!  I have been hearing (and reading) about how UN-qualified she is to be the Vice President!  I know that John McCain is trying to get the voters that wanted Hillary Clinton, but he is NOT getting my vote!  I wanted Hillary Clinton, but SHE is qualified to be President.  It has a lot more to do with qualifications than it does with gender!  What kind of idiots does McCain think we are?  I’m totally insulted!
