a brief pause for a PSA or two

I'm late to the watch-this party, so I'll just say that if you haven't already viewed/heard Colin Powell's endorsement of Obama (and his rather beautiful takedown of McCain' attempted smear campaign and scolding of the GOP (of which Powell is a respected member), why not? Forget about your own vote -- it's a lesson in putting together a coherent argument and making it stick, without getting shrill (and yes guys, you get shrill too) or whiny.

Meanwhile the post-Giants throat has come to haunt me. I sound like a bad parody of Marlene Dietrich *cough wince* despite application of cough drops and tea during the game. Kids, if you're going to be shouting and yelling and letting out stadium-appropriate noise, don't schedule a phone interview for the next morning. I'm jut sayin'...

But there is News coming in the next post...

It was a fantastic takedown-- as was his follow-up mini-press conference afterwards.

BTW, does the News have anything to do with what I saw in Pub Lunch this weekend?

[lagilman]

yep (hey, could you send me a copy of the Lunch for my scrapbook? I used to get it but...)

Thanks!

Insent. And really, I should probably quit reading Lunch, since all it has the power to do right now is make me want to drop my head to the keyboard. Repeatedly.

(With the rare exception, of course. *g*)

[lagilman]

yeah, that was part of my reason for dropping it -- I was playing "why not me, Universe" a little too often in my head, and it's not a good place for us to be. :-(

I find it hopeful that there are still reasoned arguments out there. And this might be my new favorite blog of political commentary: http://margaretandhelen.wordpress.com/

Crap. I forgot to sign in with that last one about the new favorite political commentary blog...
