Which room is mine?

How odd. Sleeping late for some reason? 4:30. I’m sure it’s early for the rest of the world, only late for me. Of course I had to peek at the news first before I took my first sip of coffee; probably the wrong thing to do..

This has to be the most important and most contentious election in history. In my history. And I don’t understand how that can be? The one least qualified to become president is in a tie with one of our first hopes of substantial change in Washington. Can you imagine what this looks like to the rest of the world? Oh, I forgot. We don’t care what the rest of the world thinks. Well, we should. We owe them a lot of money. More money than we make. And we’ll owe them a lot more if Palin gets in.

Yes, it is Palin that’s running for president. You’re a fool if you think you’re voting for McCain. And I can say that because I’m old. (Anyone under the age of 60 is not allowed to say it; it’s ageism!) The last time we elected a president this old; he was already showing signs of senile dementia/Alzheimer. Do we really want that?

And Crabby Old Lady brings up a good point or two this morning. If nothing else, we need to think about Social Security when voting. Palin/McCain will try their best to dump this program that is saving the lives of countless elders today. And it will be the only salvation for the next generation to hit retirement. I don’t remember where I found the quote, but it is appropriate… “If it wasn’t for FDR and Social Security, I would be living with my Republican children.”
